I was thinking the same thing. Was hoping for some banter between Cyber Future Shaundi and the others... or CID. But nope. Nada.

Is anyone else having an issue on the Hard X-mas mind over murder where you can't pick up certain items with TK? Ran into it last night, haven't tried after turning off xbox. Just on the hard mode one though.

Yeah, sadly. I guess my only consolation will be saving Christmas before doing Shaundi's loyalty missions in my next playthrough, and then bringing Cyborg Shaundi to stare at the pair.

Agree - Even Santa called you out.

I really enjoyed this DLC, though I agree more things for the original crew to do/say would have been nice. Wishing some bastard gingerbread men a merry fistmas in the ugliest sweater ever was a lot of fun.

To be fair, at this point there's like what, over a dozen homies? Combined that'd be like 20-something lines for all of the voice actors. Plus imagine trying to get Keith David, Neil Patrick Harris, Daniel Dae Kim et al back just so they could record lines with the Dominatrix, Santa, Future Shaundi, etc.

In the end the DLC would probably end up costing $12 apiece.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
I've just started playing this, am i right in thinking that all of the sidequests eventually lead to you completing all of the map ativities/shops, etc?


If that's the case is it best to do all of the side quests first as they show up? I assume main characters unlock as you go through the game so by doing the initial sidequests (if it does just guide you though doing all of the activities) you'll only end up completing a certain part of the map until you progress in the story?

Also, is the DLC post game content or does it fit into the story at any time?

There's enough content in the game that you can really set your pace. I tend to meander towards a set goal, doing missions in the area on the way. I'm not a big fan of the races or insurance fraud missions, so I space them out per session or let the mission pacing nudge me.

You are correct in your thinking. I would recommend doing the loyalty missions for your homies before doing the side missions so you can take superpowered homies with you for the side missions for banter; otherwise if you did all the side missions first there's nothing left to do when the loyalty missions are complete.

The DLC feels better when done as post game content, especially the second one, but it's not a problem to do it earlier.

Number One I order you to take a number two.

Good DLC. Don't really care for Cyber Shaundi by herself but if introducing more and more Shaundis becomes a running gag going forward I'm okay with that.

So did anyone else find the, uh, Dr. Who thing in the cave near the starting area for the Santa's Workshop... would it be zone? Caldera? Also the few snowmen in the zone talk if your boss touches them. I thought the jumping one with the negotiators below might have been a reference to a Calvin & Hobbes comic but if you touch the "jumper" it becomes evident it's more of a general joke. The elf rebellion graffiti looking like Red Faction emblems was pretty cute too. I went around looking at the toy racks for any other in-jokes like a stuffed Shivan or model Pyro GX but didn't see anything notable other than Genki snowboards.

Which I would totally buy. And I don't snowboard.

A secret mission in the subsequent new Freespace reveals who the Shivans really are: The Shaundis true name has simply been warped due to the erosion of time.

If you turn to your right immediately upon starting the second mission, you can see a pretty solid reference to Empire Strikes Back, too.

The achievement for it, "Get that kid to a psychologist" is a Calvin and Hobbes reference so you're probably right on the money with it.

I took off my headphones to do it, though. Nolan North candy cane sounds are somewhat nightmare inducing.

The DLC itself is fairly short, but I'm going through it again to get all this hidden stuff I keep hearing about.

Combine APB's character creation and MMO-ness with Saints Row's gameplay, then throw it onto a giant Steelport/Stilwater amalgamation.

Also I got drunk and played through the new DLC last night and I think now I have to do it again because I missed some of the jokes. Also when it came time for the Christmas mind over matter I had to call it quits because I was unable to properly focus on the game.

It was pretty awesome.

Minor gripe, I hate getting to an objective too fast and missing some of the dialogue :(

The seagull is essential.
I really enjoyed the snowman vignettes on the 2nd mission and the Letters to Santa. The new environments were great too.

And the Christmas Dubstep Gun, of course.:black101:

I hated the Hard Genki Holiday Special though. I couldn't see crap against the Gothedral and finding the objects to throw was a nightmare. Luckily, I bumped the difficulty to Easy beforehand and golded it anyway, but it was a clusterfuck of design in my opinion. The Sleigh activities were super easy on Normal, but I loved the dialogue and it was a great festive idea.

The ending montage was wonderful, and overall it was a great DLC. I really enjoyed the Season Pass content, and I still haven't played with my new Christmas toys in the Simulation yet!
