People bought the crap DLC for this game?
No wonder publishers think they can get away with anything. The game was good but it wasn't half of the game SR2 was. Lots of things were cut with very few things added.

If THQ does sink, I hope someone good picks up the rights to the 40K videogame license. Maybe if Relic can still hold it?
Im with Davedude, i just hope that Relic and 40k finds a new loving home.
What other licances has been treating as well as 40k by Relic (if we all agree to pretend fire warrior never happend)

This seals it. I'm not buying another Saints Row game until the ip is owned by a better publisher. Now that this dlc has been successful for Thq, you can expect them to make it even worse for Saints Row 4. This is one of the rare times I wish a company would go bankrupt.
I bought it and i'm not playing it until all the DLC it out and a XBL sale of the week. Then i'll play it... sad to hear how they cut shit out and put in shit DLC.
The daunting amount of DLC is the very reason I have yet to purchase this game. I remember when it came out last year and I said I would get it around x-mas time, but by that point the amount of DLC was scary. With even more DLC on the way, I cannot foresee myself purchasing SR3 anytime soon. Now after talking with many folks about their experiences relative to SR2, I am doubly not sure when or if I will get SR3.
I'm pissed at THQ for all the DLC in SR3. I'm pissed at SR3 for keeping THQ alive. And for sucking horrendously. I'm glad I cancelled my preorder and bought it used. SR2 is my favorite sandbox game ever, and they took a shit all over what it was.
SRTT is still a really good game, but coming from SR2 I eventually hated it for what they turned it into: a bland, soulless world with only gimmick toys supporting it. Not only that, (SPOILERS**********) they killed off the best character of the franchise, Johnny Gat, in such a disrespectful way. Off-screen by a few gunshots during the SECOND mission?! The same man who survived point-black shotgun blasts, a katana to the stomach, etc.
The fact that the DLC I've bothered downloading still didn't make up for the short campaign is appalling.
They had BETTER do it right with SR4. Give us back mission replay, differentiate each crib, give us back clothing layers, give us more than 18-20 missions of ACTUAL campaign, give us back the best of the activities, etc.

I'd have more "sympathy" for THQ, and many other publishers, developers.. However, the way that THQ and many treat the consumers, fans, and how they have literally warped the industry into what it is now - I have zero apathy. Personally? They brought upon themselves. They lack discipline, and porper business managment of equity, and resources. Seriously if they go under I will be indifferent. Well I'll be willing to send a picture of my middle finger to their then ex.CEO at said time with a "lol" attatched.
Seriously. My tolerance for this industry is little to none.

After I read this article, all I got out of it was "Saint's Row 3's online pass proves to be a considerable success". And then I wept.
I'm with Rorek these days.

THQ has the ball going. They don't need to be taking chances with crappy games anymore they themselves know sucks. They should focus on what made Saints Row so good, and continue in that direction.
I'm ashamed to admit that I bought the season pass only a few days after the game had been out. What a complete waste of money that was.....

I find it strange that ppl have this notion that if THQ go under, another publisher will come along buy the IP out of charity and not milk it. Every big publisher does dlc and milks their customers and would only be intrested in Saints or 40k because those IPs are proven to be successful with DLC.
Imo the saying "the better the devil you know" applies here
Besides EA and Activision have a big enough monopoly as it is and I certainly dont want them getting any bigger. Which is just what will happen if THQ (and Sega) shut down

It would have sold more if they had decided to work on the game itself instead of the "forty weeks of DLC" they were so proud of.
Too bad Saints Row 3 isn't as good as 2. Now I can see the company allocating most of it's resources into another half-assed sequel.
This is why we can't have nice things. The whole development of SR:TT spelled bad news to begin with if you take a closer look at how things went for SR2.
I will say I enjoyed the game. But not half as much as I did SR2. I really liked some of the improvements they made, but there was an obvious lack of content.
To me the worst *and for a lot of other people to* missing the layers, and some things I haven't seen mentioned before. Which is not even having all the regular npc clothing options *aka not the gang stuff but civies* available. The fact that you can't even wear your own gang outfits *with some exceptions*.
I honestly have no faith in the next sequel at this point, since THQ essentialy got a pat on the back for it.
