The last article I read about it says it has about 1/3 of the number of missions as in the original game. That, to me, seems pretty impressive for a download only costing about $20.

I still haven't beat the game. But, then again, I don't play it all that much either.

[Planetary]

they made graphical improvements too i think. i just hope it keeps me mildly entertained for a bit. id rather it was a lamborghini gang though.

im bout to go buy it (yes, purchase it instead of download it, actually im going to go purchase a download from gamestop.... i dont have any points, nor do i feel like getting any... cuz ill get a box from gamestop.. endrant)

[Planetary]

didnt know you could buy it :(

[Nygel]

well, i did, and then i got red rings, so dont worry about it.

not caused by it, its been actin up lately. freezin and shit.

I forgot this came out today until about 2 hours before I had to leave for work. But I left it downloading before going to work and now I'm home. Once i finish my duck wrap I will start playing it (y)

So far so good. I never really had much problems with the bike handling in gta4 but its definalty been improved here.

Graphically, the faces of people talking and what not seems much better.

i played it for a little, it seems pretty cool. bikes handle way better; i even slammed head first into a car and didn't fall off.

that said i still prefer cars but hell, new GTA4, i'll take it

also there's new songs but the radio stations still do that thing where they reset and play the same song every time you start a new mission so what the fuck

I finally beat the story of og gta iv the other day, been picking up achievements here and there. let me know how this one goes, family. seems like a decent deal for dlc...

[camo]

I've still not gotten round to restarting GTA yet. Did you enjoy it Kid?

I'm pretty much nailing Fallout 3 at the moment but both of these titles have kinda bummed me out due to the fact that the PS3 is lacking in the downloadable content
for both titles.

Hopefully The lost and Damned will be a GOTY edition for PS3 in the future (y)

[Planetary]

its cool how you (so far) keep the same bike and its the only one of its kind in the game. also cool how theyve made the interface and general look of the game all grimy and dirting looking to go with the stinky bikers. the cut scenes look and sound great as usual.

ive only done a few missions but it seems quite promising, im already very interested as to how the story unfolds.

unfortunately ive got a 4 hour exam in a few hours and need to revise.

[camo]

how do you keep the same bike?

Is it nigh on invincible like Street Hawk or does it respawn for each mission?

lol me too :(

you can call one of your gang members and he'll deliver the bike to you if you lose it. also, when you're riding with a gang, if you stay in formation with them, the bike repairs and your health goes up (though i think this only works when someone else is leading the gang and i'm not far enough into the game to guess at how often that happens)

Yeah it's alright if it's all you play for a bit - the immersion angle and all that.

[camo]

(y) Imma get stuck into it in a bit (y)


Bob, thanks - I like the idea of formation rolling through the streets. I can almost smell the comradery.

yeah its good the leader gets all pissed off if you go in front.

Yeah, but I had to turn off the noise filter they have on the actually game image. It started to annoy me.

yeah i turned that off too. is it me, or is the lighting a bit more yellowy than usual, even without the film grain? it's weird, but i like it

anyway this game seems a fair bit harder than GTA4. i think a lot of it's due to the fact that you spend so much time on motorcycles, and whenever someone shoots at you, you lose health much more than you do in a car. i can't go anywhere without body armor. i'm still not used to that.

i dunno, i like the improved bike handling but i'd still rather be driving cars to be honest. still fun though.

[Planetary]

yeah thats basically it. i even stole a nice turismo from a dealership only to find out you cant save them anywhere :(

I never got into GTA IV. I bought it the night it came out, sold it two weeks later, bought it again for eight bucks (gift card), and gave it away.
