[Deadly Cyclone]

Didn't see any threads for this DLC and it actually looks pretty good so I figured I'd make a quick OT since it's out next week.

Via: http://saintsrow.com/community/go/t...How_the_Saints_Save_Christmas_DLC_121113?pg=1

This year Christmas starts on December 11th, a day unlike any other day where we will release the amazing “How the Saints Save Christmas” DLC. Santa is trapped inside the Simulation but the Scrooge-like Boss of the Third Street Saints can't muster enough Christmas spirit to save him. Can the Saints help the Boss discover the true meaning of the season in time? A holiday classic for the whole family.

If you have the Saints Row IV season pass already you can download it for free. If not simply buy it on PlayStation® Store, Xbox Live Marketplace or on Steam!

Full Mission Pack:
Quests: 3 new story driven quests.
Weapon - Costume: Red Rider BB Gun
Weapon - Costume: Christmas Dubstep Gun
Weapon - Costume: North Pole
Vehicle: Flying Reindeer
Vehicle: Santa's Sleigh

Note: Posted later in that thread

I can't discuss any details, but I can say that the list of unlocks in the press release is very incomplete.

Looks to be dropping next week!

 

[Nori Chan]

I can't wait to spend an hour to finish this dlc!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I can't wait to spend an hour to finish this dlc!

Looks a bit more in-depth this time being that they created all these new assets, but yeah, hope it'd longer than the last DLC.

 

[Off-Kilter]

This looks like it will be fun. But only 3 missions? Didn't the last DLC have 5?

I'll be kinda bummed out if this is super short.

EDIT: oh I see, quests. Each quest will be comprised of 3 or 4 missions most likely. I can deal with this.

 

[Mesoian]

COO! IMMA PLAY DAT!

I hope it's better than enter the dominatrix though.

 

[Shallwhat]

Gonna have to pick this back up from GameFly to get this DLC. I loved this game.

It's 3 missions. You'll be lucky if it even lasts an hour.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

It's 3 missions. You'll be lucky if it even lasts an hour.

3 quests that involve multiple missions from what I hear.

 

[flippeh]

Gonna be good regardless of the amount of content.

Can't wait!!!

 

[Shadow2222]

I can't wait to spend an hour to finish this dlc!

I would normally agree, but I can live with the relatively short DLC considering the season pass price (bought individually it truly is way overpriced).

Unfortunately, ever since the first expansions in SR2, they have been really short and lacking in content. Although I wish they would do Lost and Damned/Ballad of Gay Tony style expansions, I suppose I can't complain because they do put out a game roughly every two years.

 

[Tan]

There's no way it can actually make good on a name that great.

 

[dreamfall]

Screens look amazing.

I'll probably finish this some time soon, but I hope I can just start the Holiday content!

 

[Neiteio]

Good golly, this looks fantastic

 

[Lijik]

I cant wait, the name and premise is amazing

 

[AColdDay]

I cant wait, the name and premise is amazing

Honestly, I don't even care if it is short, how can you not buy it based on the premise alone.

 

[TiredGamer]

Love that Die Hard reference in the last picture.

 

[Nori Chan]

Looks a bit more in-depth this time being that they created all these new assets, but yeah, hope it'd longer than the last DLC.

If it has an amazing ending like the last one id be fine with it.

 

[Lunzio]

Any impressions?!

 

[Alec]

Hopefully it doesn't add new trophies that won't sync\severely delay the syncing process for a month.

Don't get me wrong, I want new trophies. I just want them to work, god damnit.

 

[Laws00]

the season pass on xbox is still on sale.

When I saw the title i was like I need to play this. Now im like, I don't know.

only 3 missions? :/

 

[buddha0991]

If you guys haven't played the SR3 dlc packs, its basically the same shit there, hour long 3/4 mission long dlc.

 

[Felsparrow]

Is that robotic fun Shaundi in those pictures?

3 quests. I assume that means a handful of missions in each.

 

[Shahadan]

I swear if there is one of those goddamn on rails pursuit mission again I'll murder somebody.

 

[Thomper]

Did anyone else play it yet? Steam just downloaded it for me. I finished it in less than an hour, but really enjoyed it. There's not enough 'Christmas-games', and this thing basically feels like what a Saints Row Christmas would be like. Don't expect anything mindblowing, but considering I only paid five bucks for the Season Pass - I'm satisfied.

 

[Ceebs]

Just finished it. MUCH MUCH better than the last DLC. From the second it started I knew it was going to be amazing. Smile on my face the whole time.

There is even a damn Love Actually reference in there.

Spoiler

Also holiday Dubstep gun skin

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I completely forgot that I bought the SRIV season pass, and saw a decent-sized download start up for the game. I hadn't even heard about this DLC and the second I opened it to see "How the Saints Save Christmas" I started laughing.

It was a nice little surprise.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Just finished it - agreed, miles better than the last pack. In fact, it's probably the best Saints Row DLC add-on ever, as small an achievement that is. You get a great bundle of dumb holiday content for the main game, and while the first two missions are pretty generic (though the Santa's Workshop location is spectacularly done) - the finale is really fun & feels unique. Sharp writing, great premise - it's a Christmas Miracle!

 

[Zoggy]

Honestly, I don't even care if it is short, how can you not buy it based on the premise alone.

this.

everything creatively they've done with saints row since 3 has been absolutely perfect. i love it all.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Is this a reference to Burl Ives?
Because if so, I'm picking SR4 and this tomorrow.

 

[GamerSoul]

This looks great! Wish I had some extra cash right now. lol

 

[Aaron]

Has to be. The resemblance is dead on.

 

[Jamie OD]

Is that robotic fun Shaundi in those pictures?

It's Shaundi alright...

 

[bengraven]

Has to be. The resemblance is dead on.

yeah, a little too much. I'm smelling suit.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I just finished this and thought it was fantastic! A little short but as others have said I had a smile on my face the whole time

 

[firehawk12]

Short, but fun. I miss the stupidity of the universe. lol

 

[kazebyaka]

How long is this dlc?

 

[firehawk12]

How long is this dlc?

If you're fully upgraded, probably an hour or so. Maybe another hour if you want to get all the achievements from it.

 

[kazebyaka]

If you're fully upgraded, probably an hour or so. Maybe another hour if you want to get all the achievements from it.

Thanks

 

[TheDanger]

I just played through this and it was phenomenal, very fun DLC. I love all the rewards you get, you'd be hard pressed finding something better to play for this christmas.

 

[Shorty11857]

Played through both DLCs today, both were short but fun, the Christmas one really is great
