Time to play some tag with Obama and Dubya.

So they have not learned a single lesson of the past, now they will release crap after crap DLC's for a DLC

1. SR4 is not a DLC.

2. These were pre-order bonuses.

And unlike SR3 there seems to be only 2 DLCs scheduled.

1/ It WAS going to be made into DLC for SR3 but due to how big it was, It became its own game.

2/ Stupid exclusive-store-only bonuses...

Also, Some stuff in SR4 was recycled as I found out when the game glitched...

It will always be a DLC game and that will always stand.... It is just expanding that DLC into an even crapper DLC game

aliengmr3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Just because they were making an expansion DLC then decided to make a full game, doesn't make SR4 a DLC.

Reusing assets doesn't either. And given the situation they were in at the time I didn't expect them to craft an entirely new engine/setting.

Stupid or not they were pre-order bonuses.

With the apparent success of SR4 and a new publisher now "if" there is an SR5 I would expect more improvements. I also hope they live up to the promise of releasing the SDK for SR2, 3, and 4.

Just don't buy it then. Nobody is making you.

As for SR4 being a DLC game, in the past, DLC might have run you $10 for an additional 30 minutes of gaming. Do the math and you will see that $60 pays for about 3 hours of gaming. So far, I've put almost 20 hours into Saints Row IV.. and I still have a TON left to do.

So, DLC or not.. it's worth it's price tag.

ftwrthtx3887d ago

I've got 40+ hours into it but can't seem to beat the MoM and Fight Club challenges on Gold.Only thing standing in my way of platinum.

MilkMan3887d ago

Ill pass on these packs, but I will get some proper DLC expansion content.

claud33887d ago

Still refusing ever to go near a DLC game and assuming it is all new and a fresh idea, when it is just a DLC game with nothing appealing what so ever

I really really really hope this series die's and is never rebooted

aliengmr3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

And I hope it lives on just to spite you.

Not really sure why you are so butthurt about a game you care nothing about.

Says the person who hasn't played it.

Because it is not a game, it is a freaking DLC that has been expanded into a crap game and it sucks massively

Volition's Saints Row 4 PC upgrade was meant to be a make-good, but it broke the game instead

Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.

Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.

crazyCoconuts489d ago

I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.

jeromeface488d ago

i can't help but laugh at this comment. Gearbox can't even run themselves.
