DLC you have to pay for for a repetative game, well done.

In all honesty, alot of people got bored of this particular GTA very quickly, shame really, had the potential to go far. DLC won't cut it for the masses.

was a PS3 exclusive, Like i've always said. If GTA it would be a far better game. It's not like R* are short for cash.

 

It must be tiring to diss all the things you can't get, huh? ah, the hard life of a corporate puppet.

Rockstar said that the 360s without hard drives, and MS's policy that games have to work the same across all 360 models, held the game back (360 and PS3).

 

 

And they also said that the PS3 was a bitch to program for at the exact same time they complained about the 360 hard drive issue.

Unless this plans to add TONS more things to do and not be as boring and repetitive as the singleplayer game, it may be worth it.

Otherwise, I think it could be too late. I was so bored making it through the game that I couldn't give a crap about the DLC, especially DLC that's going to cost money.

 

It's going to add over 10 hours of Storyline/gameplay, new cars, clothes, etc. It will most likely be worth it.

 

Nearly everything about that doesn't even interest me based on my time with GTAIV. The only thing that would interest me is some new storyline because while the story of GTAIV isn't amazing, it was still enough to at least want to brave through the boring and repetative missions to see the end. Believe it or not, I liked how they built up the relationship with Roman and thus, I opted to keep him alive and let Kate die.

Otherwise,

New Cars, clothes, and weapons, ect are all getting a big fat - "So what?" from me.

 

 

 

 

I liked the other girls you can date. Carman is awesome.

I was sad when the stuff with Michelle happened. :(

But then with that and a constant barrage of calls on the cell phone, I quickly realized that I was wasting too much time going nowhere in the game.

When I bought a PS3 I was hoping the DLC wouldn't matter. After learning the price, I know I was right.

I mean, we already paid for the game. Why not just give it to us? This feels like one of those money whoring expansion pack deals...

It's called exclusivity. It's called business. I'm guessing that Sony forgot who they were dealing with. It's not whoring when the product is multiplatform. The developer is 3rd party and everything is up for grabs. Deal with the facts.

I could care less what gets a so what. Something new is all it is. The storyline is extended. Trust me if this DLC was free for all on 360 and PS3 the PS3 fanboys would not be complaining and you know it.

Nonono you didn't understand my point. I wasn't saying, "give it to us" as PS3 owners. I was saying, "give it to us" as GTA IV owners, 360 or PS3.

I dont think you should release a game, then charge people for DLC for that same game. If anything, just delay it a bit and give it to us out of the box. I think this whole expansion pack thing (for any game) is kind of a scam, they add in some bells and whistles and charge you half to a third of the price for the original game.

The charging rights were given in the contract that Microsoft gave to Rockstar when they offered to pay them to create exclusive DLC to make their GTA version more appealing. Thats just business. Rockstar chose to opt for more dough (Not Microsoft) and making people purchase the DLC with Microsoft getting a 30 % cut. The PS3 owners were never involved in this. They will get their DLC which will actually be useless compared. I guess Rockstar felt bad. We will see when we play the DLC on the 360 whether it was worth it or not.

more content that nobody is going to finish.
i bought this game the night before it came out at midnight.
haven't even played through more than 20 hours.
and the multipleyer is so lame, the areas are way too large for a sandbox fragfest, and everyone leaves at the drop of a hat.
