Another disappointingly short piece of DLC from Volition, but this is easily better than Enter the Dominatrix or anything they did for SR 3. I had a good time with it, even though it only took me just over an hour to finish it.

My first reaction was an enthusiastic YEAH! My second reaction is "Wait I have the 360 version. Uh... think I'll notice the framerate issues now I've played the Xbox One?" I'm worried I'll be down on it.

If you didn't notice it before (no idea how, it runs awful lol) on SRIV then you probably won't now, the Xbox One is hardly keeping everything at 60 FPS or even a stable 30 in some occasions so that won't change anything.

Ah so this was the download (I got the Season Pass). I think if you get the Season Pass it is ok money wise. But best thing is still to wait for the sale and get it all for like a dollar.

Saints Row 2 is still the best SR game.

Unlike Enter the Dominatrix or most of SR3's DLC for that matter, this DLC was actually funny and enjoyable to play through. It helps that the locations are new for the most part, and it had the right amount of silliness and charm to balance out some of the 'easy jokes'. (Something the Dominatrix one was entirely made up of)

Also Kinzie wasn't as prominent here, thankfully.

Downloading Enter the Dominatrix and this right now... Gonna enjoy these on my next day off. Been itching to get back into this game, and this looks ike the perfect excuse to do so...

But I will say... the Season Pass content has been weak, quality of the missions aside, you dont get any of weapon packs with it? Kinda defeats the point of a Season Pass, no?

I just finished Saints Row 4, and I feel like I am going to end up getting this if only because I'm not ready for the game to end yet.

I've got the season pass for this. I think I'll download this and play through the Dominatrix stuff and this on Christmas Day.

If Volition/Deep Silver had a better track record with DLC I would be all over this.

@wolfhazard:

If you haven't played the game yet, I would wait. All the DLC content so far has been really short, so I don't think the individual price to be worthy and the GOTY edition won't add more than a few couple hours.

Played this with basically a crowd at my college today and had a fucking blast. Super short (really, about the length of, say, a Christmas movie), but funny and just a damn good time.

I really enjoyed playing this, but I'm a huge Saints Row fan, so the more I can get the better. That said, it's 3 missions that all told will take about an hour. BUT, 3 things, spoiler tagged in case, were super awesome.

  1. THIRD SHAUNDI IS FUTURE CYBORG SHAUNDI
  2. Ms Claus WRECKS **** UP
  3. CHRISTMAS. DUBSTEP. GUN.

Oh, also, Evil Man Sized Gingerbread Men.

It was fun, but like other people said here it's only an hour long at the most, especially if you've leveled up your weapons or powers. That said, if you have a soft spot for the characters and want to see them celebrate Christmas and see some good, wacky cutscenes along the way, it's fine.

This isn't getting me hyped at all. Has Volition actually released a good DLC for either SR 3 or 4?

I've been skipping the SR4 DLC, is it anything I should play asap or should I wait to re buy it for 40 bucks with everything included in the inevitable GOTY edition.

The truest Christmas miracle would be in Volition actually made some good Saint's Row DLC.

Playing this game right now... but much like the last in the series I'm not sure I'll need more than the core game doles out.

I enjoyed the humour in this a bunch. The gameplay... less so. You can almost feel the budget and time constraints this DLC went through; all lot of the audio and voice work seems cheap compared to the main game.

I've been waiting for the GB guys to say if it's good or if it's like all other SR DLC.

It's like all other SR DLC. Volition are basically con artists when it comes to this stuff. Saints Row is the magic elixer, and the DLC is the snake oil.

I forgive you but only if you pushed for the right games. You're off the hook for now but I got my eyes (or ears, whatever) on you Navarro.
