Parkingtigers posted:Every other game that has ever done a season pass has never removed it from sale. Even once all the DLC packs are out, it's still worth having it available as an option as it's a discount for bulk purchasing. The Season Pass is also the only way to get the Nyteblade Pack right now, so chances are very low that it will get removed from the store.

Hmm...that's weird that you need to do that. I downloaded the Season Pass this morning and the Genki bowl DLC just disappeared with no explanation of what to do next.

I don't have season pass. I tried buying Genkibowl on the website and xbox keeps giving me an error. edit: it is working now. Doctor Butts fucked around with this message at Jan 17, 2012 around 16:55 |

Pretty cool that the TF2 heads include all 9 classes and not just the heavy/scout as originally stated.

I apparently never bought the Season Pass (I swear I remember doing this), but I also apparently had funds in my PSWallet so yay me. Too bad it's not out on PSN yet.

Is the DLC new missions or is it just a bunch of activities?

Lyer posted:Is the DLC new missions or is it just a bunch of activities? Remember how in the main story missions, there were missions that introduced you to new activities. So technically they were story missions, but in reality, they were just activities? It's like that. You do "missions" which basically have an extremely loose setup for why you're doing them (like the other activities of the game), which then unlock other activities of that type. Short answer: It's just activities (and associated unlockable vehicles, homies, etc)

Lyer posted:Is the DLC new missions or is it just a bunch of activities? I'm expecting a pretty shallow couple of activities, like the achievements list shows. I'll probably buy it just because of Tim & Eric's amazing ad for the game but I'm well aware it might be a waste of money.

The first mission is literally SERC on a new map. I'm not complaining though.

Should I / do I have to beat the game first for the DLC or can I just do it. Like I'm close to the end so I really don't matter either way.

All of the DLC activities are just expanded versions of activities already in the game, really. SERC missions (with shark pools!), the Yarngasm missions are just tank mayhem except you're a giant ball of yarn that can shoot shockwaves and bounce up into the air, PR is Escort except your car has flamethrowers on the front and side, and Sad Panda is basically skydiving except you can basically fly and land on rooftops to chainsaw folks for bonus points. Not that I'm saying these activities aren't FUN AS BALLS, because they are, but if you're expecting revolutionary new gameplay modes that totally divert from anything you've ever seen before, you'll be disappointed. But only up until the point where you crush a line of cars underneath your giant yarn ball.

Solaris Knight posted:yeah, they're a lot more fun then the activities they're based on, because Escort doens't have flamethrowers and Genki. Agreed. They're new and totally improved versions of activities already in the game. I just know there's gonna be folks out there disappointed because it's not a total expansion with brand new storyline missions and an epic plot. The plot is it's Genkibowl and you unlock poo poo like a flamethrowing Cadillac, sexy Genki girl homies, an ATV with a mouse's head, and a giant ball of yarn complete with its own delivery homie.

Eh, just reading on the official forums and Genki Bowl is not looking good. All the activities are reskins from what's already in the game. The only new thing is panda skydiving, which incidentally is the only actual full costume included. Much as I'm dying here to throw more money at them I can't do it... they're clearly at 'horse armor' stage of their DLC plans and need to do better.

Ehh, being a DLC centered around Genki, it's pretty much safe to assume that wasn't going to be anything terribly involved with a plot. That sounds like it would be more reserved for Gangstas in Space/Trouble with Clones later in the year.

This is more akin to the Orrey or the Wizard's Tower. it gives you fun activies to do, for a small fee. I'm certainly not remorsing the first pack.

Got nothing but problems right now. Wardrobe menu freezes, most like because of the addition of the TF2 masks. It looks like I'm going to uninstall a bunch of mods right now.

Oh yes, if you have any mods installed, uninstall them until they are updated for the new patch. They'll cause nothing but trouble otherwise.

Not the best picture, but I do rather like how the Pyro looks. Shame the Luchadors are all dead at this point in the game so I can't get a flamethrower.

The entire existance of Yarnie makes Genkibowl worth the price of admission easily.

Just a head's up for anyone using the Gentlemen of Steelport mod that the new DLC broke the wardrobe color change mod. I should be able to easily fix it, but in the meantime simply rebuild GoS with that particular mod deselected.

For some reason I have the cheapy D and tf2 dlc but not the genkiidome. Something seems to be broken here. Unless I'm just being stupid how do you actually do the new dlc content? What is the deal with cheapy d anyway? he's just a boring generic homie who does nothing new.
