I was expecting a real mission pack, not even more slightly modified activities. I quit on the second activity after I realized I was playing the 25th version of Escort.

Yeah I have to say I'm not real thrilled with this DLC at all. Hopefully the next one will be more impressive.
Wow...I totally regret buying the Season Pass now, I wish I knew the DLC was going to be like this and not like the post game campaign of SR2.
I think this experience has burned me enough to never buy a Season Pass for a game again. What's the point in saving money on something I wouldn't buy anyway?

You're missing my point Poop spraying is poop spraying it's a silly activity and done in good humour.
My problem is i just didn't find the idea of 'ho's' being locked up in squalid shipping containers funny or amusing much less the implication that they have been in their so long that they have had to shit and piss in them. The escort activities at least have some good humour to them but that whole 'rescue' misson and it's seemingly jovial tone was just was distasteful.
Add onto that the end when the only way to end the misson was to deliver them back to their captors for a reward or make you their new pimps and make some long term money.
Why can't i just let them go? Or do they like being pimped and locked up?
Well assuming they were originally prostitutes to begin with perhaps they still need a job? I'm not defending it, just putting it on the table.
Well in the misson they are described as a 'shipment of prostitutes' so taking that and the fact they are in shipping containers they are probably not exactly doing this of free will.
I think a third option of letting them go maybe you can find them non sex work in your organisation maybe they could work at Planet Saints?
Or let them go home to their families?

Most fun I have had with an open world game since GTA 3.
Wonderfully fun DLC pack, just... so very short! I don't see why at least 2 or 3 more instances of each new event couldn't have been included. So much fun, but so few instances, unfortunately. At least 4 of each activity could have been included to really bulk it out. :-/ I would have especially liked to see another Hard Sad Panda Trail Blazing (sp?) event...
Might I ask why it was so short?
Love the new homies and vehicles, but lament lack of new weapons.

It's DLC?
I just figured they were prostitutes who had been stolen from Zimos or other pimps and were being shipped out of town. But you're right. A third non-degrading option would've been good too.
After 10 hours, I was so sick of the character's reactions I changed the voice to zombie. That's hilarious for now, but I think it'll wear out it's welcome in a few hours. I think the main character talks a little too much and all the personalities they're kind of stupid. Why don't any smarty pants people join gangs?
No, they were being shipped in from another country. The fact that I had not choice but to turn them over to become sex slaves in one way or another almost made me uninstall the game. After the whole sex slavery stuff right before that it was almost too much for me to take.
Actually, all the choices I'm forced to make in the game are kind of terrible. Why didn't I have an option to recruit the hacker guy when he was basically begging for his life? Because I could see what was going to happen to him a mile away.
Saint's Row main character is not a good guy. If you played the Saint's Row 2 story esp the bonus last mission, you'd know that the leader of the saints is not about being morally right. He/She is about getting paid and respect.
The end of the DLC (that's right I've already finished it) reinforces this point. The Boss says stuff that a decent person would never say.

I got over the raging boner for death and violence that every single damn character seemed to have pretty damn quickly.
It was lazy writing. If it was a commentary on these types of badboy games, then it was a piss-poor one. Bulletstorm did a better job. Hell, in fact, there was an entire level dedicated to berating your character over killing everything in sight. The difference is this: in Bulletstorm, the characters were completely aware of their ridiculous situations. In SR3, they just went along with it like it was Sunday.
And the worst part? Every piece of dialogue outside of the glorified violence was great. It just made it very hard to sympathize with the Saints if they give only as much fucks as the rest of the "Evil" gangs. I don't care that it is "My Town". My Town to what? I'm the only one that gets to murder the innocent? I'm the only one that gets to crash a C-17 in the middle of the city?
The only reason I didn't stop playing my FemBoss and do the entire game as Zombie Santa was because of Laura Bailey's VO work.
Zombie Santa is awesome, by the way.
I'm not trying to be a dick but you must really struggle with most games if you think that deeply about what is happening. I can't really express what I think is wrong with your sentiment without sounding like a dick but I think you're taking it way too seriously.
They do, yeah. I kinda missed them once they'd gone, the regular police pose no threat at all.

Yeah. I mean, it's not like there is no context to either decision. You get in-game bonuses either way.
Now, if there was no consequence to either decision, then yeah, that would be pretty crappy. If it was just done to be done.

Two quick questions:
- Where do I go to put vehicles in my garage? I found it once by accident, but forgot how and where ._.
- In the PS3 version, are the hourly cash payments tied to the PS3's internal clock, and if so, can you change the time and date to get payments faster, like you could abuse the clock to grow flowers in Nier?

1. You have to drive it to your garage, or I think if you take it to a Rim Jobs to modify it, it'll save to your garage.
2. An hour is 20 minutes in game time. I don't think messing with the system clock will help.

This Season Pass hasn't put me off of them for good, but I certainly won't buy another THQ season pass, especially for a Saint's Row game. I feel bad for the people that immediately bought a Season Pass upon launch and this is what they have gotten. I only bought one yesterday and I regret it already.
The Saint's Row 2 DLC went on sale eventually. It took a long time, but it happened. So if there is any more DLC after the Season Pass or if there is a Saint's Row 4, I'll be picking it up during a Deal of the Week or something. Not getting a Season Pass and definitely not paying full price.

Danke schön, but where do I find the garage? I assumed it would be at the Saints HQ, but I couldn't find anywhere to drive down to the garage again. Either way, I think I own a Rim Jobs store, so I could take it there.
Uhhh...
Pretty sure he walked away clean in my game. I might be remembering wrong because it's been a while, but... pretty sure Killbane just lets him go. Of course, Killbane was an evil murdering asshole, so maybe I'm remembering wrong...

There is a drive down garage in the front (north side) of the Saints HQ. In fact there are two ramps you can take to get down there.
Also, Shaundi's ex's crib has a garage next to it as well. Every crib has a garage somewhere.

I finally took the plunge on the PS3 version. Curious to see what all the hype is about. I've never liked the GTA games, and I've never played the previous Saint's Row games, but this game looks like it's wacky enough and has solid enough gameplay that I might just get into it.

To echo what others have said, the DLC was very disappointing. I was expecting a full on Genkibowl campaign, not a series or activities, that really should have been in day one. I sincerely hope the next DLC is better as I'm really regretting buying the season pass now.

It's about sympathizing with the main characters.
Granted, but that would hold more water if it were newcomers to SR complaining about the tone of the game. Comparing it to SR2 is just odd because the protagonist in SR2 was a full-on psychopath.

If people don't realize that Saints Row is not that kind of story early on, then they've got issues they need to work through. NOTHING the main characters do is good in any way, except for the way they look out for each other. That is literally the only redeeming quality about the characters (other than being hilarious), and even it isn't always true.
I'd never played a game in the series before and I had no problem whatsoever realizing this after only two missions.
It's no Heavy Rain that's for sure.
Agreed, I hope the next DLC packs are out like once a month or so instead of waiting a long time till the next dlc pack.
Holy shit that DLC was short, can't have taken much more than an hour to complete it all. I did really enjoy the content, but it felt like something that should have been a side attraction during the main game, it would have been nice if at the very least there were 3 instances of each activity, similar to the standard ones.

Got the platinum and I'm still ready for more. Is the DLC pass worth getting? I like the game quite a bit, but $20... Ehhh

Not based on the first DLC, no. I'd wait and see what the others are.
I had trouble with Mayhem initially until I realised that destroying random crap like fences and postboxes gets you points. Try to find areas with lots of sections of fence, groups of postboxes/bins etc. Mayhem is so much easier when you can use a rocket launcher.
The trick is keeping your combo meter up by destroying fences, thrash cans etc. the name for the achievement is 'fence killa' for a reason.
Also sometimes you might need to move to a busier area where more stuff spawns.
I wouldn't buy it. It adds nothing except for renamed activities. I got a free season pass and I still feel ripped off.

Ugh. That DLC had some great comedic moments but overall was a dissapointment.
I really hope these next two bring something new to the table.

Season pass was essentially free for me since I got the game for $40, but yeah I'm kinda wondering if I should have bothered. PR escort is painful. The rest are fun but nothing really new. Disappointing, but it's not necessarily bad to have more of the same when the same is actually good. I just don't see why I should be paying extra for it.
There's no doubt in my mind that the remaining DLC will be exactly like this, but we'll see.

Where can I get the TF2 masks from? I completed the mission ages ago and I've got the crib. I've checked my wardrobe and been to the stores but nothing doing. Steam did download a patch yesterday so pretty sure I've got the stuff.
Edit: Had to verify the cache which grabbed 2 files, then I got the messages about new content in-game.

Are people really surprised that the dlc is crap? SR2 dlc wasn't that great either, although it did add even more customization options.
But I mean really their first bits of dlc so far have consisted of outfits, a gun and freaking cheat codes!
Don't get me wrong, I loved SR2 and I really enjoyed SRTT, but they don't really have the bset track record when it comes to great dlc.
