Lol, you have thin skin if you think I was being hostile. Batman posted the link and I know he isn't going to be butt-hurt over what I said, so why should you? But again, that's how some of the folks roll here. Someone contradicts bad information and they are being hostile, or a fanboy, or a shill.

But I can't make a post these days without you going out of your way to try and antagonize me. And that's how you roll.

And I'll buy it day one almost guaranteed so long as the gameplay is good, even if the content is lacking. SR is one of those few games I will support to keep the series going even if I think I'm overpaying. It's really the GTA juggernaut threat that makes me feel that way.

I feel like they should have spent more time on this. It began as an expansion, then was switched to a sequel once THQ realized that they were running out of money and needed to generate more hype. Everything I've seen in the trailer looks like an expansion pack. The superpowers could be fun but I don't think they'll be enough to justify this entry to the series.

So what's so special about this whole "enter the dominatrix" expansion that I guess is now being turned into SR4?

For many PC gamers SR3 was their first SR game so they don't know the context of some complaints about it but SR3 had a lot less hidden/side content compared to SR2. It's by no means a raw deal or something but there is definitely a lot less to do and several activities were deprecated or removed. The devs acknowledged this and blamed it on all of the work on the new engine which is understandable. They said one of the focuses of the Dominatrix expansion was to restore a lot of hidden/side content to flesh out the Steelport more. So many fans of the older games were anxiously awaiting that as Steelport is pretty cool but feels kinda empty compared to Stillwater.

Now that the engine is well known and they've had plenty of time to work on everything it means we'll probably get an even better game basically

In the next open-world installment of Saints Row, Deep Silver Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level – the leaders of the free world. In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak’s mental grasp. Escape the simulation that’s trapped the Saints crew, or die trying.

Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.

This is correct but people aren't recalling the correct details for a good reason, Volition and THQ mixed their signals quite a bit during the PR bonanza for Saints Row the Third. They initially said that the Seasons Pass would include one announced pack and an unannounced addon. Later one of the Volition devs started talking about Enter The Dominatrix which most fans assumed would be the second content pack. This was later revealed to be a totally different DLC but by then people had made the association and it was misreported by an online publication (kotaku I think). Later they officially talked about Enter the Dominatrix, a standalone expansion, which was delayed several times until finally cancelled and the content thrown into Saints Row 4. The huge mix of gameplay oriented and cosmetic addons for the game probably didn't help much either. I think Saints Row the Third was the first game I've seen too much DLC for and I'm pretty open minded about it.

But that's just how things roll on Blues News, take bad information and grow a hate-on for that game/dev/publisher.

I don't think people can be blamed for not researching an old issue long after the fact, it's not terribly important anyway.

Errors occur with getting info mixed up. However, the link Batman posted, the second sentence in article contained a link to the story that I posted with the proper information. All it took was 1 person reading beyond what they wanted to read to dispel the misinformation.
