killer kirby Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah, just playing the game at the moment, just downloaded like 30 mins ago. I love games that just get right into it, this game is no exception, the second mission Has, you trying to escape with Tony and you have a pretty awesome weapon to use while at it, I think there were like 15 guys you had to kill before getting out...it's very full on indeed right from the start, something I wish they did with GTA IV
Gizmo Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Ended up buying this today. Wasn't going to, but the game I bought on eBay hasn't even been dispatched by the guy yet, and I had enough points on my account already anyway. Downloading now while I'm at the gym, and then shall return to some GTA goodness.
MATtheHAT Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I bought the disc version 'Episodes from Liberty City'. Played a few missions of Gay Tony, and its awesome.
Jimbob Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 It's damn good. Love the "Pulling" mini-game. Only played 1 mission so far, and it's all good.
dwarf Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) I never bought GTAIV and wondered if it was worth getting this, seeing as the packs got a positive reception from the people that thought the main game removed a lot of fun (that could be found in Saints Row 2) required for the sandbox genre to work. When it falls in price I may have to dip in. Never been that interested in it but now they've downsized the content and seemingly upped the quality, well, it could appeal to me. Also, I'm doubtfull hoping the package has a platinum trophy. Or is it just a couple of silvers/bronzes? Edited October 29, 2009 by dwarf

You can buy the main game and buy the DLC separatly via X-Box Live. Or buy the DLC on disk. Its a pretty good game, i found that there was no purpose as such for all the money you acquire except for purchasing weapons or paying a Taxi fare or paying a hooker for service.

dwarf Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Oh I thought the disc release was also for the PS3, my bad. I swear I read somewhere that the exclusivity was timed. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to miss out. Edited October 29, 2009 by dwarf
jayseven Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Saw the Liberty Stories thing at work today - we're selling it for like £24.99 and i can get 10% off... worth it?
killer kirby Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Saw the Liberty Stories thing at work today - we're selling it for like £24.99 and i can get 10% off... worth it? YES!!! (Unless you already have Lost and Damned) I am really enjoying Ballad of gay tony, I enjoyed Lost and Damned very much as well, put together they are much better then the main GTAIV. And it makes me excited to see what Rockstar do next.
Jimbob Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I'm pretty enjoying the new mini-games available. Golf is pretty good to be fair.
SPAMBOT4000 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 The last mission is awesome! Rockstar are probably the first company to really do episodic DLC type gaming justice. These shorter, more focused snippets of GTA action have really reinvigorated the series for me after the fairly bland GTAIV. The crossovers have been so much fun to spot. Love seeing Roman and Brucie hanging out at the clubs for example, really made the whole city feel that much more alive and real.
Gizmo Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 This game is awesome by default because one of the instructions for a mission is "Get To The Chopper"
Solo Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I think the group dancing in Maisonette9 is one of the greatest moments in video games.
RoadKill Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 This is seriously awesome. Fuck the DLC though, you miss out on the Vice City radio, and buying the disk saves you space on your HDD. Yes, your old TLAD save games all work with the disk.
