Liberty City was underused as far as I'm concerned. Rockstar should start licencing it out - could you imagine playing Left 4 Dead/Dead Rising in it? Or Burnout/NFS? Any game really.

As cool as these expansion packs are, when it gets down to it. They still take place in the same environment as GTAIV. I'm tired of Liberty City! I want a new sandbox to play in, wahhh!!

I absolutely loved GTA4. Hundred percented the hell out of that game. And I own the 360 version, as well!

That being said. I refuse to buy these expansion packs. Out of spite.

@dowingba:

well,then for Lost and Damned you missed out on a great expansion pack,pretty much better than the full story(and don't worry it doesn't effect your 100% in the full story,it has its own 100%)

i mean riding about on Motorcycles with your gang while listening to wanted:dead or alive by Bon Jovi..can't get much better

if TBOGT is half as good as TLAD,i am gonna be in for a great time

TLAD best 1600 points i have spent

Having recently seen Metallica at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, I can say that after nearly three decades of pure-fucking awesomeness, they still got what it is that makes you scream your heart out and go home a much happier person.

@Jimbodawg: This will be my second Metallica show ever. The first was last December. It was the highlight of my entire life. Honestly. They kick so much ass live. This time I got floor tickets...

I'm hoping they play Dyer's Eve this time. Last time they closed with Blitzkrieg...so stranger things have happened.

@dowingba:

Don't expect to hear 'Fade to Black'. I've been to ten of their concerts and they've yet to play it. My favorite song by them is 'Until It Sleeps (S&M)', but they don't ever play it either.

What's great about these concerts, though, is you look around and see everyone having a good time. Hell, a group two rows below me lit a joint and openly smoked throughout the concert. It's a very 'lively' experience.

Enjoy your second showing! =) #grandtheftautoiv

Thank you Communist Kayce, you took the words out of my mouth or should I say my text input box?

Joking aside, 360 gets exclusive GTAIV content that I wish would come to other platforms including PC. So there shouldn't be whining from their side of the fence.

@RiotControl: Depends on what deal went down. If it's the usual Rockstar exclusives, I'd say a year max.

If Sony paid for it like MS did the GTA4 DLC, probably longer.

Unless something is first party these days it will most likely cross over.

Worst case scenario, it's not the game itself but the next installment of the franchise (MGS, Dead Rising, etc).

So why are they making it PS3 exclusive? Wouldn't they get a ton more sales by releasing it on 360 as well? I'm just jealous cuz I don't have a PS3 and can't afford one either..

@jamesjohnson01: 10 hours? I didn't even last that long. The city was just BORING, compared to San Andreas and even Vice City. There was almost nothing to do, and the game almost taunted you for wanting to do things.

@Shadowhunter72: Yes, I'm stupid because I didn't enjoy the game. Really. That's exactly it.

Maybe I just found the main character a pathetically inconsistent, whiny little bastard with no likeable traits, the mission structure to be completely last-gen, and the side content (what little of it there WAS) utterly pointless? Maybe that's why?

Seriously, Ricky Gervais was the only part of that game that didn't piss me the hell off.

What exactly did they downgrade?
Was it the loads of lame ass minigames droped from San Andreas.
Yes, i miss some options (bicycles and whatnot) but i would take the new physics over any vehicle any day of the week.
Oh shit! Sorry! I too would rather be a valet then order bombs and strap them to police cruisers.

Why do people pretend that everything in San Andreas was fun? Good game? YES. Chock full of stupid shit that i wish i didnt have to do? Of course.
Half of that game was genius. The other half was lame and tedious.
