R U SERIOUS? Saints Row 3 Penthouse DLC.
Wtf is this? I know THQ is going through some rough times needing money, but this just reeks of desperation. No I don’t want your shitty Penthouse DLC.
Seriously THQ? The freaking game was disappointing enough (Angry Review Here). It was in bad need of more customization options like clothes, items, more cars, weapons, and easter eggs. Nobody wants this crap. Not even for the 240MS points they are trying to sell it for ($3).
Does Sex really sell in this case? All these pixelated whores look the same in game who the hell would get turned on by this? Who honestly says to themselves, WHOA PORNSTAR AVATARS! I GOTTA HAVE THEM! Sick.
I guess it fits right in with smacking people in the head with dildos, but at least that’s funny. This is just pointless DLC.

Seriously, i loved this game, but not the sexy aspects, the badass ones! I don’t want more porn in video game, I want “badassery”!
Why does one of the pornstars look like Ashley from Mass Effect?
Tossing some extra nip in and expecting money is nonsense. Had it been the penthouse adventures or something, where you are setting up a giant porn enterprise..then sure..but come on…adding some new clothes = money? we got mods for that frankly. DLCs should be new content. I like Saints Row (GTA is better though). But lets not go stupid
Will get it when its pretty much free..as it doesn’t add anything to the gameplay at all it appears. DLCs are meant to bring in new dynamics, new styles of gameplay, not just some slightly different clothes
So Joe, any thoughts on the Hitman bondage-nun-murderfest trailer?
I got it. But only because im a hardcore Saints Row fan & no other reason than that.
played saints row 3 at a friends for about 15 minutes and was fun for only 15 minutes… they need to take notes from Rockstar. Cant wait for GTA5!
god damn i was like saints row 3 coz finaly i was able to play it on a pc
the story was lame doing shity missions and the dlc was always about clothes and other shit …
damn u THQ
Really? REALLY? God damn it THQ, stop sucking!!
I think everyone has just had enough with DLC. From overpriced map packs in Call of Duty to stupid characters (Saints Row) to Costumes that are already on the disc (SfXT). We as consumers have had enough of the bullshit. I remember I got desperate and paid for cheat codes for saints row 3 and DR2 on the record. Didn’t help gameplay much. Especially in DR2 since you couldnt even advance with the codes on. Well rather you could not save. Plus with the game developers and publishers trying to get rid of used games and then telling us to have online activation codes.. no …fuck you game developers and publishers. I’ve had enough. Go on strike. See if I fucking care.
Soul Calibur 5 is probably the best example of good DLC, fixing the issues of balance, and dramatically adding to the costume options, including assorted desired parts, like character components, shame no EX mode.
Sigh this DLC is the kind of shit that makes game company like THQ look like GREEDY ASSHOLES! I mean this is dumb. I think this DLC & that shitty extended ending DLC for ME3 can go to hell! FUCK BOTH THOSE DLCs, THEY SUCK & SO DOES ANY1 THAT BUYS EITHER 1 OR BOTH THOSE PIECES OF SHIT THAT ARE CALLED DLC!!!
The extended cut for Mass effect last time I heard was free, you must be referring to the “From Ashes” DLC
As I see most players doesn’t like this new shit and They are correct, there is no point in this new Dlc… and image that it’s for MONEY!… Disappointed, also I’m pretty sure that those who clicked on likes are only people whos doesn’t own the game or It’s just because of the Girls? ^^
I actually like SRTT. But your right Joe, when I saw this I was like, “Dude, I wouldn’t want this if you gave it to me for free.” The only reason I went for the Terra Patrick DLC in Saint’s Row II is because it had some cool vehicles and clothing options. And the missions weren’t bad either. This doesn’t have any of that, just the Pets, and it’s retarded.
what is even the point of this? Besides desperately trying to make some $$..this is soooo retarded. I hope it blows!
Our game sucks… well… let’s just throw some pornstars in there. That will fix everything!
this is what every video game company thinks
girls=cash
BUT NO ITS WRONG!
god damn it i hope they stop it
same with indie games they put girls over and over
if i want girls i go see porn for free!!!
Yeah, I mean my protagonists are usually female to justify high levels of emotion to the audience in my case. [not to be offensive, but a cute girl getting traumatized leaves a much bitterer taste in my opinion then a bishie]
Thats also invites another question. If theyre in the game how much had the girls “payed” ? ^.^ As I can tell from the review too the controll is a big issue. Maybe if THQ patch the games bugs first, after fill the game whit they “content”.
As a Sr2 fan, seeing this just extremely hurts. companys are getting more an more desperate the days, ALL of them.
I concur, I LOVED SR2… especially the cemetery scene, where those Ronin pricks crash the funeral and afterwards some cold hard payback with interest.
But seriously, THQ, trying to get money by selling sex? Jesus, I thought pimping was supposed to be illegal.
Style over substance, that’s the name of the game now-a-days.
But in this case, even style said F**k this.
Why would I want this? I mean it was a ‘really?’ kind of moment when the announced Sasha Grey would be in the game but this is just sad. Though I shouldn’t be surprised. That last DLC with the superheroes was terrible. Give me amazing and awesome powers but then take them away after a twenty minute DLC? T_T
Okay, this is not unexpected. I mean, SR2 had DLC that included Tera Patrick (Another pornstar) and SR3 had Sasha Grey doing “voice acting”, if you can even call it that, so I don’t see why people are so shocked. Then again, those were at least characters with roles and voices, these are just skins in a game where you can already create customizable characters.
Also, that doesn’t even look like Niki Benz.
The damn player is buggy as hell,it goes green and screws up,even my friends is doing it,add another player please.
Right click and disable hardware acceleration, it’s a flash issue possibly
say wha O_o
The chick I created looked better than that anyhow. Those characters look like generic NPC’s that are already in the game.
Shame for THQ, and I thought that Lionhead and Capcom were bad at this DLC business, but porn stars are not the solution to a problem. In fact, it makes it worse, worse than the game itself. It was fun getting naked, grab a purple dildo to kill someone, but it was just for a while, but this is just plain sick! I wanted more clothes, weapons, missions and perhaps those powers that they showed, not porn that I can have for free in You-Porn!
Gettig DLC for what is already a bad game to begin with.
Just not gonna happen.
And wtf is the selling point? that they licensed faces of girl-models?
You literally dont get anything worthwhile
How…..How insulting! I thought capcom had bad DLC but this is just. . . . . Well bad is the best way to put it. I never expected this but I guess I should have. Saints Row loves this kinda over the top crap. But for them to go this far! Either there sure there fans really like this kinda shit or there just really needing the money. I feel more bad for them then angery…..odd.
what … the … fuck… 0_o
If I want to see pornstars Ill download some porn lol I dont want to see some ugly pixelated versions of them XD
Even though most pornstars are ugly already so thats kinda double there.
This truely is pathetic….
Indeed good sir
THEY WOULD BE BETTER OF REALESING CARS OR WEPPIONS OR STORY DLC AT LEAST WHO BOUGHT THE GAME WOULD PROBLY BUY THAT STUF
This must be reason why their was no multilayer, and cool side missions in this one compared to the second one….
…they just had to make sure they got the boobies physics down correctly XD
The more and more crap that seems to come out for this depressingly half-assed game, the more I wished I had not blindly trusted going into a preorder and season pass for this game based on my love for SR2 and Volition.
So not only do we get miniscule DLC mission packs with seperate packs that have clothing options that probably should have been in the game normally like the other gang’s clothes, a reskinned shotgun, reskinned vehicles, and other useless crap (still love the pay-to-cheat bs), we get a pack to add another group of scantily clad girls along with the plethora that you already get between hos, strippers, furries, etc.
Color me utterly disappointed.
I am glad that based on the Youtube ratings and some of the non-fanboy reactions on their site’s news comments, that there is still some people with reason that can see past this crap that THQ and Volition decided to shovel out with the smallest effort possible.
I want a catholic schoolgirl avatar
What the fuck?
There, thats my only statement. I dont want to talk about Saints Row 3 anymore.
Man its sad to see a fun franchise get treated this way. A lot of wasted potential in this series with the third installment. And whoever thought killing off Gat in the first half an hour of playtime should be slapped… repeatedly… By objects one does not talk about in pleasant company.
Well judging by the youtube ratings I still have faith in mankind
There are some ugly stereotypes that fly around about gamers and stuff like this just makes things worse. It’s insulting that they think we would actually want to pay for such a worthless add on just because it has boobs in it. I absolutely cannot stand the “sex sells” mentality. I don’t mind some sex appeal but when you try to push something with nothing but sex appeal it becomes insulting. It gets worse once the idiots inevitably storm in and defend these practices with horrible excuses and insults. I don’t know if this is true but I heard that some people actually complained about the new Tomb Raider game because they changed Lara Croft’s design to something more realistic instead of keeping her old design where she looks like a giant Bratz doll.
You Sir just won the Internet. ^_-
I agree, I don’t think we should live in a world where sex is used to sell gum, beer, and many other things that have nothing to do with sex.
Sexy things are fine, but they don’t need to be combined with everything.
There is good news though, that have been studies that show that sex actually doesn’t sell any better then anything else, it gets attention, but that doesn’t mean someone will buy the product.
Pointless DLC indeed,
I haven’t in even purchased this game, have other games on top of my list before I’ll even consider trying this one out
Can’t you already customize yourself to be a big boobed bimbo?
DLC like this has no value whatsoever. If it were free I wouldn’t touch it. This just makes it easier to forget this game even exists.
not buying it, but have no issue with it being there.
thought i do wonder why it is.
Yeah, it’s just kinda… scummy. Having a game full of fictional pornstars can be done artisticly, treating them like real people, showing their lives with some drama and integrity.
Adding real pornstars to a game to, what, just continue the random (though hilarious) violence that the series already has? Frankly, that’s just whoring them out. They’re already in an industry where their only worth is their body, and then you further it by making that body a virtual addon to a game. No depth, no personality. Just taking their silicone and imprinting it on silicon.
So you’re up in arms now that they’re trying to add DLC to the game with pornstars as the theme.. when there is literally a mission in the retail game (not DLC) to raid a bondage/sex place.. and explore room after room of sex machines/sex toys?
If they wanted ‘sexy’ it is already in the game. From being able to shove the ‘penetrator’ bat up people’s asses to dressing up your character like a big-breasted woman who is naked. This is just adding onto that, and while I wouldn’t pay for it I don’t really care if others would.
I dont see much of a problem in putting pornstars on DLC.Yes is kind of pointless and stupid, but there are people who would download it even if juts for the shits ang giggles.Still, i think it would be better if it was free, not 3 bucks.
Quite aside from the laziness, the dumbness, etc…this is just plain insulting to customers. I mean, sure, Saints Row 3 is aimed at guys of a certain age, but sandbox gameplay is appealing to everyone.
I must say that this might not be so insulting if there were any variety.
I mean, their facial (…okay, heh) rendering software isn’t exactly LA Noire–the faces are barely any different (and that’s not because they’re porn stars), their bodies are all but identical (though that probably is because they’re porn stars), and the new clothes (are they new? Seriously, I swear I’ve seen those outfits in commercials) are just a microskirt with different textures and a variety of tight tops and bras. Are they prebuilt and locked like this, or will you be able to alter them however you want? If the former, the designs are lazy; if the latter, well you could probably build them with the character creator anyway, so you’re paying $3 because you don’t have the time to do it…and there’s not even any new clothes.
The fail is epic in this one.
My money is on them just not caring anymore. The Third game was proof enough of that, this DLC just highlights it even more. They are not trying to sell a game, they’re just trying to take money from us and nothing more. I mean really, look at the second one and this one, need I say more? Like the “Tron World” that had built in lag?
*sigh* The game wasn’t worth it. And this DLC makes it feel even more worthless. Bad move THQ.
Might be worth buying so I can kill them over and over again.
…What am I thinking there is no way in hell I would pay for this. I wouldn’t even download it if it was free.
LOL WTF?!
OH HAHA PORNSTARS! THEY HAVE BOOBS! HAHA IT’S SO FUNNY!!!
To think they could be using these resources to add more of that customization or some engaging story that was in the second game. Everytime I see a new dlc for this game I get curious since the trailers make it look cool, but then I found out most of them ca be beaten in almost no time flat and in terms of clothing and things only ad EVEN MOAR INSANE costumes!!! Who needs genuinely good and funny dialogue with an engaging plot? After all, people only play saints row for the goofy shit like purple dildos right? IT’S ALL FLOPPY OOOOH! I mean, it’s funny right? …..right?
All they need to do to make me happy is to add the Russian female voice to the second game and I can just play that one forever.
Meanwhile, in THQ HQ…
“Sell out with me okay
Sell out whit me tonight
Lets continue milking this franchise
and everything is gonna be all right”
Yup, sex always sells quite well in video games. It’s actually rather sad..
I have to agree, this kinda thing just makes us gamers looks bad.
It continues the stereotype that all gamers are basement dwelling virgin nerds who will pay for anything that has boobs in it.
If the “Sex sells” formula always worked we’ld have at least a “Caligula XXXIIV” movie by now….
I might’ve bought the DLC if it had the Caligula penthouse stars in their movie costumes. That would’ve been funnier.
