Cue dragon riding and alternate ending DLCs one month after launch.
Yup. We're virtually guaranteed to see all this allegedly "time constrained" content reappear as paid DLC. I'd rather Volition be honest and admit that "we cut vanilla content from the game so we can sell it as overpriced DLC later down the line", but that would be asking too much.
Well, that's certainly a possibility - they've already mentioned something like 40 weeks of DLC planned post-release. There is an alternative, however.

TL:DR - Saints Row IV modding tools could be released with the game (or soon after), allowing our own Bollywood dance(s) and dragon f(l)ights.

This game sounds dumber with every news story.
Is that an inherently bad thing?

Different strokes I guess. I loved SR2 because it managed to maintain its pretense of being set in something akin to the real world. I actually didn't like 3 because it was too wacky for being in something still resembling the real world, but with the 4th they've pretty well gone for straight "Modern Sci-Fi/Fantasy" and I am totally on board with that. Honestly I feel that this is how a lot of sequels should go. It might as well be a completely different IP from the first one in all honesty considering how different it is.

OT: No, why would you remove a Bollywood dance number? From anything?! Bollywood dance can only improve everything!

First we lose the dragon, and now Bollywood! So much potential awesomeness lost... sigh.
Makes me wonder how awesome the stuff they decided to keep must be.

Well there are two types of stupid. Good stupid and bad stupid. SR4 is bad stupid.
I agree, like the good Will Ferrel movies and the bad Will Ferrel movies.

OT:Let's change gears a bit. You know what bothered me more about SR3 than a change in comedic atmosphere?
The game felt about as substantial as a wafer. There's still things to this day I haven't done in SR2, and after beating it the first time, I continued to play off and on for probably 4 months after.

Having borrowed and beaten SR3 from a friend, I really just didn't feel like doing anything after, or rather, there wasn't much left to do since the in-game cheats make everything an eventuality.
Of course it's fun to take a howitzer shell from a tank in the face at point blank and laugh at all the damage it didn't do, but after awhile the "goofing around" aspect lost some of it's appeal.
Remember in San Andreas and previous GTA games how they didn't have an actual godmode cheat, just a health code you had to put in over and over again? I can only interpret that as them realizing that without the risk of dying, causing wars with the cops just isn't as fun, isn't as exciting. Quoting Yahtzee (ohlawd) "the whole thing feels about as substantial as playing with your own snot."

I felt like I was playing a modded version of some other game, and the modder is the kind of person who likes Moogle race mods and trainers.

Durn, I wrote way more then I ever intended. I must now tend to my neglected PB&J sandwich.

We'll just have to wait and see who's right, though I do hope it doesn't end up being the video game equivalent of pure sugar. At least we can agree that if it is just empty nonsense we can still play SR2.

Jeez, thanks for killing the surprise!
I know the majority of the plot now. This is not teaser anymore, this is spoiler!

But this well of course the opposite, actually very good!
I hope they find a way to at least show us what they wanted to do. I mean a bolywood dance ending would be awesome. That and I can actually see some use for a dragon ending to!

Ok Bollywood ending I couldn't care less about but dear god WHY did the dragon get the axe?! That sounds awesome! Imagine a dragon vs alien fight!
I'm sure it'll be there in the form of DLC. Probably on-disc content.

I'd like a radio station where you can import your own mp3's.
I really wish you could do that as well.

I'll run WMP in the background with a playlist (In SRTT), but it's not the same.

SR3 was good game, with decent gameplay, and mostly entertaining story, but every change from SR2 they made, seemed to make the game worse, and 4th game seems to follow the same track 3rd did.
but...ZANY!

No, I agree.

They're saying that for IV? I know they said it for 3, and grossly underdelivered....

There are good Will Ferrel movies?

Do you mean the "upgrade" system? I'm inclined to agree, and I think in large part it's because the game is poorly scaled. When they start throwing in bullet sponges and guys with never-miss lasers, things like infinite ammo and no bullet damage turn from cheats into borderline necessities.

Don't forget President Colbert.

For those of you worrying that Saints Row IV won't appeal to your artistic side, Jaros also revealed that the game's in-game radio will feature enemy alien Emperor Zinyak reading monologues from Shakespeare plays and the entire first chapter of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
I think for the first time I'm going to listen to the in-game radio...

Funfact, in Bollywood films, if you ever see a man and a woman dancing around a tree...
It's because they just had sex.
You know how in the west the fact that someone just got laid is represented by smoking a cigarette?
It's like that only.. weird.
