Gat is back, and well.... he's not exactly the same as before. Can't wait to play this, Gangstas in Space was a good bump in quality from Genkibowl, so I expect this to be the best one yet. Also, superhuman running and shooting fireballs from your hands looks effing sweet.

After turning their infamy into worldwide fame, the Third Street Saints now find themselves at war with a powerful criminal organization called The Syndicate. Strap it on.
Trouble With The Clones DLC coming tomorrow (!)
Hopefully it's good. I've regretted the Season Pass thus far. Either way I'm probably trading it into Amazon after this.
I'm... eh, I'd be lying if I said was excited. It's great to see... some form of Gat return, but I'm way past SRTT at this point. I'll play it, complete it in what'll no doubt be like an hour like the others and then I'll place it back on the shelf. Though at least judging by the trailer, this final hour of content should look to easily surpass the first two piles of rubbish that preceded it. It's a pretty great twist to turn that dweeb from the comic shop into an actual character.
Also I would laugh my ass off if they don't allow you to use the Saints Flow powers outside of the missions. Y'know, like they did with the flying in Genki Bowl and the sci-fi weapons in Gangstas in Space.
EDIT: And after what I've been reading from people who've already completed it, you totally don't get to use the Saints Flow powers after the story's finished. Splendid.
I just completed it. It's only 3 missions like the Gangsta's In Space DLC but they feel shorter than the Gangsta's In Space missions. The unlocks you get are awful. Unless I missed something the only unlocks you get are two new homies. The writing however is the best out of all the DLCs. There is an amazing part in second mission that references some stuff from the second game. If there's one DLC you need to play it's probably this one. The end seems like it will pretty easily tie into Saints Row: The Fourth whenever that game comes out.
Also has anyone noticed if Shaundi has been in any of the DLC? It makes me wonder if they're going with the ending where she dies. I hope that is the one they make cannon just because it's way more interesting than the "good" ending.

Hard to say at this point since during Gangstas in Space, The Boss references Shaundi being alive during the first cutscene. I'd be fine with either, though we have to remember that the ''bad'' ending also results in Burt Fucking Reynolds being dead too D=
Sounds... great. I'm going to go bang this out so I can retain my S rank, then get rid of this game.
Just beat this in like an hour. The content itself is fine, but it's super short and not having access to the powers outside of the mission is a bummer.
So, final verdict on the Saints Row Season Pass? Short and disappointing.
@HaltIamReptar: If you're looking for a reason to play more Saints Row and you've got the money go for it, maybe even pick up Gangsta's In Space and this pack. If you're not really jonesing for some more Saints Row I'd say wait until they go on sale sometime in the future. You'd only get about two hours out of those two packs so judge if that's worth your money or not.
@Kanden: Saints Row the Third is one of my favorite games of the last ten years. I fucking love it. But, I have stayed away from DLC in fear of disappointment. I stayed away from the other two packs because I was super bummed with how they appeared to turn out (garnered from video and the buzz). How does the tone and the humor of this pack compare to the main game?
@HaltIamReptar: At least for my tastes there were multiple times where legitimately laughed at the situations that happen in this DLC. Mission 2 of this pack is one of the funniest missions in this game. I'd definitely recommend picking it up, however I can't recommend the season pass because this DLC (albeit short) is the best out of the 3 by far.
@Kanden: I currently can't find the spoiler button, so a spoiler heads up.
"Let's bounce like my checks did back in the day"
Worth the price of admission.
