Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned

Anyone else getting this tomorrow? I know I am.

This is the new DLC pack for GTA IV. Whole seperate story, new characters etc. You can't import this stuff into the original GTA IV with Niko but that doesn't bother me.

So far I've seen one review (IGN) and to sum it up, they said that the gameplay changes (new guns, music/radio stations, bikes, missions/mini games) are really, really good, but the story and characters don't hold up all that well (but hey, that's their opinion).

There is multiplayer, and there are quite a few modes with new twists. Looks as good as the original multiplayer.

It costs 20 bucks but I'm not sure how much that is in microsoft points.

Looks like this'll be very worthwhile. According to IGN the main story is 8 hours but if you do all the other stuff (side missions etc.) it can be 12-20 hours long which sounds great.

2100ms points i believe.

That sounds pretty damned nice for DLC!

So how do owners of the computer version get this?

If its exclusive for the 360 version that's bullshit.

TruncheonClock · February 16, 2009, 06:02:31 PM

360 Exclusive, i believe

That's really fucking stupid. Even if PSN sucks for distributing downloadable content, there is absolutely no reason the PC users can't get it.

TruncheonClock · February 16, 2009, 06:17:56 PM

ok yeah, after checking around is 360 exclusive, sorry about that SoBe

How is the PSN thing terrible? Are you talking about on the developer end or the user end, because it's been perfectly fine for me so far...

I get you PS3 guys are laughing/crying really hard

I never said it's terrible. I said even if Playstation Network sucks. I don't really know.

I don't have enough experience with PS3 to say if PSN is good for that or not, but I do have enough experience with the PC to say there's absolutely no reason why the PC players aren't getting it.

I probably should have said "I'm not sure if PSN sucks for downloadable content or not, but even if it does..."

Ooooh, I see.
Instead of reading it as what you said below, I thought you meant "Despite the fact that yadda yadda, the PC yadda yadda".
Damn can the English language be easily misconstrued.

Anyway, I believe the DLC is Xbox 360 only because... I dunno, maybe Microsoft worked a deal with Take Two or whatever.

Apparently there's a few seconds of full frontal nudity in this.
I'll link to it rather than making this thread NSFW.
