Not to be racist or anything, but I still have no idea who's who in this game. They might as well just call them "Generic Latino 1-4" and save the trouble of trying to come up with authentic sounding Latino names.
@Gaz: Yeah, strange that there's no source mentioned. A quick check of the Marketplace's web interface shows that the price is still 1600 points. Major Nelson's site reports the deal as the Fifa stuff.
What's sad is LATD was better than the entirety of GTA4. Shorter sure, but if you're game is long and bad, then it's not really a good thing. I just hope Gay Tony is even better. Keep it up Rockstar. You're slowly redeeming my faith in your company after how terrible GTA4 was.
@geiko: 800 MS points = 10 US dollars.
Not to be snarky, but not only is this information easily found on the web, it is also calculable from the story above in that the price reduction is described alternately as $5 or 400 points.
@geiko: It's easy, sport! Now listen up. 10 good old American dollars equals 50 strawpennies, and 50 strawpennies equals 30 quid, which in turn is the same as 4 chickens and a bag of oranges, which equates to 90 wooden nickels which finally equals 800 Microsoft points! Ya gotta learn the rates or you'll never make it! Ya know what else never made it? Vaudeville! No matter how good you were, the tv always had ya beat! I, for one, am a tumbler!
@Combat Waffle: I seem to have gotten an answer here just fine. And considering I had already clicked the article, why t hell wouldn't I ask the question. Why the hell am I even replying to you damn kids anyways? Oh and thanks to those who answered the question.
There's a retail pack that's supposed to have both the expansion packs coming soon right?
Considering retail packs drop in price faster I guess if people are yet to get it, it's prolly best to wait?
@WhatTheFrag:
This is what I hate about digital distribution. I am not saying that I totally hate supporting developers or anything, but I enjoy playing a vast array of games, and the only way to do so it pick most of my games up for a median price of around $25.
@wickedcobra03: There's that, and then there's people like me, who are old fasioned in the sense that we love our physical copy - full game or expansion.
@IvanDashSmith: You can always play it, delete the content and then the helicopters should return to normal, right? Just clutching at straws and trying to offer a fix. It's the type of content that you can't miss though.
@IvanDashSmith: The only thing I know that's any different with helicopters is that the military helicopter now has exploding rounds in L&D. Besides that they are the same. Motorcycles drive differently, but helicopters are the same.
ah i dont know how many of u haven forgotten but ah ps3 signed it own deal with rockstar for gta 4 dlc too about a month after mirocsoft did so yeah we will be getting a piece of the pie too
Well, I guess Take Two got played for a fool. Looking at the sales numbers, they would've made back that 50 million on PS3 sales alone albeit a little later than the 360.
So yeah. MS got a nice deal, when Take Two could've made even more money had they not signed that exclusivity deal.
@SnakeCL:It was a loan, silly git. They had to pay back the money. And while you and every other PS3 fan is crying tears over this, nothing stopped Sony from paying for some DLC.
Stop pointing fingers of hate at Microsoft and instead point at Sony who among other paths of crazy thought this gen, seemed to have thought that it could do little to nothing with third parties and once again have them fall right into Sony's lap.
@Foxstar Sixtail: I agree as much as I am not a fan of MS's business practices, MS did some wonderful things in supporting the developers on their platform, and designing both the XBOX, 360 and dev tools around developers needs and wants.
Sony has just been in a position where they let the devs figure it out because they had to due to the market penetration.
I don't like payed exclusives, but those are the rules on the mean streets of business.
It was a loan with a wink and a nudge to "pay us back". That's no loan.
Secondly, I'm immediately a PS3 fan that's crying tears? If anything, I seem to have struck a nerve here. Perhaps you should calm down and stop acting like such a child.
Sony HAS worked with various developers. They even worked closely with Epic to make sure that UE3 was working up to par after some somewhat more lazy developers weren't up to snuff. But that's not the point.
The point is, Take Two would've made more money had they not agreed to an exclusive deal with MS. You didn't argue the point, you simply baaaaawed about a "sony fan" being right, and went off on a tirade about how Sony is stupid and MS is business saavy for trying to run other companies out of competition in backhanded ways.
@SnakeCL:"MS is business saavy for trying to run other companies out of competition in backhanded ways."
Stupidest comment this week. So very, very stupid. Again, what stopped Sony from contacted Rockstar and going "Why, hey guys, we want some of that to, here's some money." Hell, they could have paid for some PS3 DLC of their own. but did they? No. Microsoft saw a opening and took it.
You say I should calm down, I say your wearing blinders and need to get off of your "Microsoft is evil." hate train and deal with the facts. I suppose Sony was evil when they paid for GTA:VC and SA to be PS2 only for such a long period of time when they could have released on both the Xbox and PS2? Eh? Eh?
Video games are made for profit. This is a business. Microsoft caught Sony with it's pants down third party wise this gen and is reaping the rewards. Get over yourself.
The second piece of DLC is going to be that guy who shot the old man (starting the gunfight) during the museum scene. Just my guess.
Besides the little 'Impossible Trinity' nugget that was touched upon before by Kotaku et all, upon finishing Lost and the Damned, the credits roll by taking us on a tour through LC and we get to see how Niko and Johnny's stories were essentially playing out at the same time.
Then it gets to the museum, and it shows Johnny run out the one door in a gunfight, which happened in Johnnys story. Then it shows Niko run out another door, which was obviously the main story of GTA IV. Finally, the camera pans back, and who does it show? The guy that shot the old man, on the roof of the museum, firing his rifle down through the roof fighting some unknown enemy inside.
Pretty damn cool how it looks like they're linking all the stories together. And definitely a good investment on MS's part, cause I thought Johnny K's story was even better than Nikos, even if it was shorter.
@Xuchilbara: Of course it's not just you, you are on the internet. Besides, I bet PLENTY of people who bought the game knowing what to expect and now claim to hate GTA would agree.
@Bluejuan85: I'm in the same place as you exactly. I've thought about trading it for the 360 version, but I am too used to the Six-Axis to do that, plus no one's going to do an even trade for that one.
I was thinking today, was it ever said that the download-able add-on was the exclusive part of the deal? Because my thought was - this is Rockstar after all - couldn't they say: "Lost and the Damned Exclusively on Blu-ray DISC for the PlayStation 3". I know, it's a stretch, but I was trying to think of any way around an exclusive, and that seems like exactly the kind of goofy think Rockstar would do (Though I haven't figured out if the disc would contain a patch to the game for the DLC, or how they would go about that).
Any way you look at it, it's a slap to the face of PlayStation owners. All of the contests and download-able content for GTA IV have been for 360 owners ONLY. Way to show respect to the company (Sony) that made you successful in the first place.
