I feel like Power would have been way more fitting in this game than in SR3 and they should have brought it back.

I kinda felt the same way about Holding Out for a Hero. But really once they figure out a way to import songs, that'll be all taken care of.

Here's how to spoil some DLC for yourself.
In the videos directory, there are bik movies that start with dlc1 & dlc2.
They're hand-drawn-art storyboard videos, not finished product. I guess that will change for the finished product, but with Enter the Dominatrix having the dev commentary on canceled DLC I can't even be sure.


I actually just looked at them myself accidentally because I was deleting the startup intro movies again after steam re-downloaded them (and there is a weird audio bug that only happens when you escape past the startup movies). I haven't been keeping up with the thread, so I was like wtf and looked, as I had bik player installed already.

While watching it, I stared at the screen and said out loud: "get the gently caress out". Then immediately bought the season pass on steam. I have no idea if the DLC will be good or not, but it's not going to be SR3's "more of the same" DLC.

I watched all of the videos.

Even if the Season Pass is less then an hour long for both packs, it's still worth $10, because goddamn.

Just put the drat thing in spoiler tags already and spill it.

Sure. MAJOR DLC SPOILERS. Seriously, don't read this at all, because it's something you should see later. I'm only doing this because there are people like me who want to see it, but don't know how to read .bik files, and it'll be gone by tonight once they fix this patch.

Enter the Dominatrix brings back Nyteblayde, as he fights a giant monster. Apparently Shaundi falls in love with him. The Saints end up going back in time to ally with the Velociraptors species, marrying Shaundi off to the Raptor King. They then come through time to help fight the Dominatrix, with the Boss riding one into battle. There is also a bit where the ship flies out of a giant Paul, spilling Saints Flow everywhere. Donnie and Zimos return, and become homies. Donnie becomes a superhero.

Jane Austen narrates the into to Saints Save Christmas, mentioning the newly formed human/velociraptor alliance. Boss says gently caress Santa. Shaundi from another timeline comes back to warn them that Santa is actually a tyrant warlord who was held back by Zinyak, but with his death will conquer the galaxy. The Saints team up to gently caress Claus up.

The last scene, which is a photo of the crew has 5 different Shaundis in it.

I love the semi-auto shotgun, it is a death slinger when maxed out. Easily my most used weapon, only partly because of the hot pink/fire paint job.

They're very powerful, the pump-action shotgun can one-shot most things. The Disintegrator is a great single-shot rifle, sort of a sniper rifle with no scope, it's good for things out of reach of your shotgun. Those are the best choices.

I really like the Disintegrator because when something dies from it, it's basically the Half-Life 2 disintegration effect.

For a fun voice, use the Southern Belle and pitch it down about 30%. It sounds like Paula Deen and Michael Jackson got fused in a freak transporter accident. It also helps when it's coming out of the mouth of this guy:



Only weird thing is that, when given the option, NPCs refer to the boss using female pronouns. And whenever there's a singalong it reverts to the un-pitched voice, but I just like to think he has a killer falsetto.

As for the next game, (if they don't reboot it) since the boss has gone from Gang Leader -> President -> Galactic Emperor, the next step would be godhood. Like, becoming the Space Baby from 2001. It just think it would be fun to be able to create your own sandbox planet/city/missions to run around in.

I've been trying to play SR2 over the past few days, but it keeps crashing during and after long missions on both of my PCs and I'm kind of getting sick of that. I suppose I could play one of the console versions, but those look like butt and have a framerate of approximately 15, and of course they don't have Gentlemen of the Row either.

I've also been playing SRTT, and goddamn the faces look weird compared to IV even when you're using the exact same boss. :shepface: They're just so much better animated in IV.
