Might have to pre-order the Episode of Liberty City, I've not had time lately so didn't get the L&tD, but with these two episodes, I predict some good gaming ahead!
I'm glad I held off buying "The Lost and the Damned" episode with the intentions of buying both episodes at once. It's going to feel more like I've purchased a full game. This was definitely a clever move on Rockstar's part to release the two episodes together at retail. So far to my knowledge, Rockstar's been the only developer to actually release episodic content that truly feels like you're getting another game and not just some maps. At 1600 Microsoft points, Rockstar's downloadable content is far more worthy of it's price when compared to paying 1500+ Microsoft points for things such as Halo3's multiplayer map packs. No new gameplay, AI, cutscenes, ect. to compliment them (just maps). I don't even need to go on any further to justify my argument, but I will. Halo3 ODST? Full retail priced expansion? It just aint gonna fly.
Damn, i hate it that i have to wait another two months to get the disc.
I could play Halo in the meantime but i'm not interested in ODST, i 'd rather waiting for Reach next winter...
hmmm.. looks like they'll be abit more hand to hand fighting in this one.. maybe a fight club. I just hope its better than the poor arm wrestling game - which i'm pretty sure was designed to break your control pad.
Knew it would end up being that guy to complete the 3-way interlaced story. Really hoped it would be playing as one of the bent cops instead though.. i'm pretty much all gangstered out. Or atleast have us play as gay tony!
Actually regret buying Lost and Damned too..dont get me wrong i loved it, but i would much prefered to of go this and L&D on the same disc at the end of the year.. especially when you dont even need to own gta4 to run them. Probably work out cheaper, and would of saved hdd space.
Lesson learned with all this dlc.. always get the game of the year editions if you can hold out. My plan for fallout3 thats for sure

Works out to be the same price - $40 for both DLC, or $40 for the disc.
Considering there was not much to play at the beginning of this year outside of Killzone 2 and GTA IV: The Lost and Damned, I for one am more than happy to have purchased TLAD back in February. Between the 23 story missions, the 42 side missions, the 12 Road Rash-styled bike races, and all of the new online modes, that was certainly a good 20 to 35 hours well spent back in the winter when it was slow and there was nothing else really going on but GTA IV: TLAD, Killzone 2 and MadWorld.
I'm just hoping GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony matches up pretty well against TLAD . . . plenty of missions, tons of side missions, a bunch of new online modes, etc. TLAD was easily the best $20 I have spent all year on gaming, and I'd sure love for TBOGT to match it in overall value - base jumping mini-game FTW.
Of course squeezing in an additional 20 to 35 hours to play TBOGT plus the new online modes, is going to be a bit harder this fall than it was doing the same thing last winter with TLAD. Back in the winter, there simply was not that much worth playing, that was out. This fall however, is so flooded, half the games have had to jump ship to 2010. But even still, with the likes of Halo 3: ODST, The Beatles Rock Band, Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Brutal Legend, Alpha Protocol, Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, and Left 4 Dead 2, this fall is looking pretty filled up. Squeezing in another 20 to 35 hours to fully enjoy every aspect of the newest GTA expansion pak, is a challenge I certainly look forward to.
They better have jets! .... hookshot would still be kickass :P
maybe theyll have competent gang members this time unlike in TLAD haha!ur teammates guns mustve been loaded with crayons or something!
im just really worn out with GTA4 unless they were to add some things that were totally new otherwise it will feel exactly the same as it did when the game came out. TLAD had a few new things and nothing really felt new but riding in formation was pretty awesome... still not as awesome as actually doin it but it was a cool idea.
im just gonna wait for really good reviews for this because my puny 20gb hard drive is completely full... even when there are only game saves and nothing extra
