The DLC/Update is kinda good:
+ We got a new story missions that feel like a parody of Fast & Furious movies but they're not super cringy, I mean Gangstas in Space, Trouble with Clones for TT or Enter the Dominatrix for SR4 were worse imo
+ There's also a new district which is small but pretty and it's the first time in SR history we got a map expansion
+ there's a new crib (with interior!!)
+ a new activity that is fun, I mean if you don't enjoy flying the wingsuit you won't like it but I actually enjoyed it and it also gives you new wingsuits after completing them
+ a new vehicle
+ a new weapon which is fun to use especially if you want to launch yourself in air
+ they finally fixed shooting guns, they're more accurate and not annoying to use
+ photo mode
But there are a few things that I don't like:
- The story DLC is short and Chris Hardy is annoying
- There's no new stores: we got one old friendly fire and a fucking kiosk that sells bathtowels and bathrobes...
- there's more "did you know" places but all of them are voice by Chris Hardy and are cringy af
- yea, the cinema is just a building
Agreed with most of your post, but I have more of an opinion on the 3 Missions.
1st Mission was essentially a stretched out Wanted App post... Which I didn't mind to be honest.
2nd Mission... I would have preferred a mission where we recover the Holographic projector from Marshall, rather than this mission.
3rd Mission... This was meant to be a parody of Fast and Furious, but it was actually a parody of several missions from previous Saints Row games. It started out as a parody of "My name is Cyrus Temple", then turned into the first half of "The Kinzie Gambit", which in itself is a parody of "Heli Assault".
Now onto something a little less fun.
That f***ing cinema!? Why did they hype up that f***ing cinema!? It literally serves no purpose, and there was no reason to stop and explore it!? They could have hyped the mansion, or the new Marshall Threat location that is actually enterable, or even Chicken Ned's new location... But instead they chose to hype up a building that is on the stretch of road where I'm driving at full speed with no intentions of stopping.
Hate that f***ing "Wingsuit Event"... That's all I have to say on that.
The Kiosk... The g*d damn Kiosk. The clothes are fine, I wish there were more than just a purse full of new clothes but whatever... But why another Kiosk, I get that it's easier, but If you're only adding one new Store, make it an enterable building. If you were adding 6 new Stores, then yeah, I wouldn't mind if 4 of them were Kiosks... But this is one new store... Just one. F***ing Kiosks... Stilwater and Steelport never had a single Kiosk, where did they get the idea that these would be a thing we would like to see in a Saints Row game.
You know what, I don't want a Saints Row 2006 & Saints Row 2 Remaster/Remake... Because I don't want all of my favorite stores replaced with Kiosks. They'd probably get rid of the underground shopping Mall and just put a few Kiosks on the surface. G*d f***ing damn it. And they'd probably get rid of Mission Replay too. F*** me.
The only thing I actually like so far is the new HQ, finally we get a Mansion, even if it only has a Bedroom, Armory, and Living Room.
Though I do like Eli & Neenah's New outfits. Kevin's looks better in-game than it did on the poster.
And the last thing... When are we gonna be able to just hang out with the Crew!? What if I want a break from Kevin, Eli, & Neenah? Maybe I want to make some new friends, take 3 of the Crew out on a sky tour of the desert, or take them on the "Fork In The Road" quest, or bring them on a shopping spree. It's a day off, I don't want to call them up just to help me kill some enemies, I want to hang out with them. Go to the beach, go for a drive, a walk in the park... They're not just henchmen, their friends.
