Oh, come on guys! HAWP! If you don't know then your in for one hell of a treat. This has literally been my favorite piece of DLC to be released for SR yet, however it depends highly on my knowledge of who they are. More then a few episodes reference Saints Row The Third, so it's kinda cool that they took the time to put them in game. I suppose it counts more like an inside joke type thing. As for $2.99.....I don't know, I really don't think any of the content is over priced, just generally miss guided. I think content like this is totally fair to release at $2.99. If your a fan of them then it's totally worth it. If not then....not so much. It's like if they released Idol Ninja, and Minimaul as homies. That'd be awesome! I'd totally pay $2.99 for more of our online community to make appearances in game. I'd pay $5.99 to have Knobby (V) as a homie! Of course no Saints Row homie pack would be complete without Shitface! A bundle featuring Shitface, Knobby, Idol, and Minimaul....I'd by that for a dollar!*

*A dollar in 1985 currency after inflation equals $2.19. However, I'd pay as much as $5 in 1985 money.....maybe $6.

While we are on the topic of inflation, did you know that in 1985 NES games cost $40 to $50? Factoring inflation that was about $100 to $110 a piece. So in fact games have come down by $50 since 1985. Math is fun.
 
^A very good point. If an Idol and Minimaul pack were released, most of us would think it was awesome, but everybody else in existence wouldn't know who the hell they were, (well, more likely, they would take to complaining on Facebook about how it's DLC for DLC or how GTA5 would never do something like that or some other bullpiss.
 
hmmm meh, i decided ill get this but only after all the other dlcs are completely released. (as in when they SAY "this is all the dlc") THEN after i get everything else, ill buy it. you guys HAVE played borderlands 2 right? ash played tiny tina. and her brother is one of the writers. tiny tina IS one of my favorite characters from that game (and quite possibly my favorite mission-giving'/comic-relief/ side character EVER!), but it isnt enough to make me buy this UNTIL a price drop OR when the last bit of dlc gets pushed out.

for those who havent played borderlands 2....

(POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

EDIT: screw it. im convinced. tiny tina sold me. >.<

itll have to be tomorrow tho

Hm. I don't have an urge to buy it (and don't bother with the non-mission DLCs in general anyways).. but I can see why some people would like to, assuming the writing on the homies is good.

I have to admit, homies are a good choice for a quick cheap DLC, ASSUMING they have lots of dialogue.. and if there's more than one homie in the pack they interact with each other (I know sadly interacting with the existing ones is probably too much what with the costs to bring in the existing voice actors and so on, though it would be a good thing to strive for)

I just don't see a reason to buy this one, considering I don't really know the people involved nor have any big interest in them (even if those few skits were funny).

The dialog is pretty damn funny. I don't know how much unique dialog each of the three have, but Ash is definitely Ash, and I'm assuming is using Genki's AI cause she's insane. They talk back and forth with each other occasionally, but it doesn't appear like they talk to non HAWP homies. Overall is good for HAWP fans.
 
Well, that's good at least, that they have inter-group banters.
I'm not surprised there's no talking to homies outside of the pack.. as noted that'd involve getting them in to record new lines and patch existing known to be working content. Not as viable, for the result.

Still not interesting to me, but nice to hear they crafted a good pack.
