Looks like N'Gai Croal and Stephen Totilo were right about GTAIV and its respective DLC being more story based. I had to mooch the original GTAIV off a friend's system after my initial copy didn't want to cooperate with my 360 (wondering if the Gamestop I bought it at had some fun with the fucking copy I bought). I'm probably not gonna get an opportunity to try this out any time soon. Prince of Persia made me reevaluate the whole "storytelling" stance of games, so if I did have GTAIV, I'd probably check this out for comparison/evaluation sake.

Game is cheap as fuck now, can't be bothered to get it. But reading the preview of the expansion makes me respect Rockstar for sticking to their guns. I can't say I agree with it, but if they don't make the games they want to, there's no way to make them better.

Damn. That's pretty steep for an expansion pack. I don't know if I'll be sinking that much into it so soon because I have yet to finish the game in the first place. But, from what I read in that link, it might actually prove to be a decent little add-on for those who genuinely enjoy the story; which, so far, is doing OK by me.

But yeah, at least they're actually following through with this, albeit a bit late. Then again, with a multi-million dollar investment, they'd pretty much have to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Steep for a full on real expansion pack? How so? I don't believe any are below 20 dollars. From morrowind, oblivion, diablo 2, starcraft, etc.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah; how much was the Shivering Isles download? 1600 too?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

**The unmovable stubborn** · Jan 25, 2009, 06:53 PM

SI was 2400, actually.

How ya doing, buddy?

But that included 20 free achievement points Pang!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Since when did it do that?

I'm thinking about purchasing the PC version. Anyone have it for the PC? From the various reviews I read, it appears that the port is really bad. Also the DRM is really strict where you can't even save unless you are online and install some program.

FELIPE NO

THE BALLAD OF GAY TONY.

Grand Theft Auto IV Second Episode Announced - Xbox

How good can it be? Lost and the Damned was a pretty well done expansion though.

So they're releasing both episodes as a standalone disc. Sweet! Those of us who own the PS3 version of the game don't have to shell out more than we need to.

I believe it is still exclusive to 360 since Microsoft paid for them.

He's saying if you already have the game on PS3, you don't need to pay for the Xbox 360 version as well, since you can just get the disc with the standalone expansions.

But they aren't selling the stand alone expansions for the PS3, as far as I heard. Am I missing something?

The Plane Is A Tiger · May 27, 2009, 05:43 AM

Yeah, that article says both the download and disc versions are 360-exclusive. Several times, in fact.

With a title like that maybe the second expansion will focus more on humor and try to be a bit less serious. I don't plan to buy any of these DLC until I eventually get around to finishing the main game anyway, but Lost & the Damned just didn't seem very interesting.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Jessykins · Local time: May 27, 2009, 03:46 AM

Maybe the second expansion will focus on being fucking good and worth the amount of money they are asking for it.

Spoiler:

FELIPE NO

Jesus...

If you have both consoles, and you have bought GTA 4 on the PS3, to play the DLC you don't need to buy another copy of the original game on the Xbox 360, because you can just get the disc with both expansions, which will work without the original game.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Krelian · Local time: May 27, 2009, 12:46 PM

Yes. Let me clarify.

My brother owns a PS3. He bought the PS3 version of the game back when neither of us planned on picking up a 360. I bought a 360 last autumn, and now that Rockstar have confirmed that both of the episodes are coming out on a disc for the 360 that doesn't require the original, full GTA4, I don't need to be stupid and buy the full game all over again.

The Plane Is A Tiger · May 27, 2009, 09:12 AM

Ah, I missed that bit at the end. I assumed this was like the Fallout DLC discs where you install it to the harddrive and still have to play it using the regular Fallout disc. No need to get uppity, Aard.
