GameSpew: "We've got you covered with our list of 10 most festive games or DLC packs, so go don your Christmas jumper, have another glass of sherry, and get stuck in."
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.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
From Xfire: "Remember when you'd buy a game and... that was it? You got the full experience by purchasing the full product one time. "
Damn, Train Simulator is costing the big bucks. That game is kinda fun but not if you purchase all the DLC.
"All the DLC - Train Simulator 2020, $10,145"
No wonder we're witnessing an increasing number of ports from PC to consoles, you can't nickel and dime PC owners with all their mods over there, lol
"Legatus Pack - Star Citizen $27,000"
Ouch!
Planet Calypso - Entropia Universe, $6,000,000
WTF...?!
Nice list, but Batman Arkham City isn't near Christmas, closer to valentine's day I think. It was Arkham Origins that had the more Christmas like setting.
I played Saints Row 4 How the saints saved Christmas a few days ago. Great DLC but sadly only lasts about an hour. However, I did hear my new favorite Christmas song due to this DLC.
All together now "If you're naughty and you know it here's some coal. If you're naughty and you know it here's some coal. If you're naughty and you know it well the flames will surely show it if you're naughty and you know it here's some coal"
Doesn't Fallout 4 do something for xmas.
