Nope. That didn't work. Not only that, but it over-wrote the save game that was on there, so the 3-4 missions I had done at the beginning of the game were wiped and I had to start over.

I just hope they add more "stuff" to the game overall - was once again pissed that there was nothing to do at the end of the Lost and Damned.

Gotta hand it to Rockstar, they have balls to name their next expansion like this. Sadly, it will get a ton of backlash, from the name and the people who defend it.

Re: The Official GTA IV - multi console super friends thread - Part 2!

Question for those with the PS3 version:

Can you remember if it was ever possible to blow cars apart with the Annihilator (chopper)?

I swear I was able to do this. Recently I played the PS3 version at a friend's house and was laughing at no matter how many rounds we fired from the chopper, cars would not blow up.

Earlier this year I bought the 360 version so I could play Lost and the Damned. I've never played with Niko on the 360. When I used the Annihilator in the 360 version cars would instantly explode when I shot them with the chopper.

I started thinking maybe the PS3 version got patched to change the behavior. Very strange. Just looking for users' experience with this.

The Lost And Damned Loses $5 From Price [Deal Of The Week]

If 1600 Microsoft points was a small price to pay Grand Theft Auto IV's The Lost and Damned, 1200 is an absolute steal.

The Lost and Damned is this week's Xbox Live Deal of the Week, shaving $5 off the price of a new storyline and new multiplayer features for the already excellent Grand Theft Auto IV. Gold members (snicker) who've not yet given the newer content a whirl would be doing themselves a favor by snagging it this week. With the next set of DLC just around the corner, you might want to get Lost and Damned out of the way to make room for the coming of Gay Tony.
I played it a lot when the game was released but after finishing the main story I lost interest. I never got this DLC. Is it any good?

Good DLC in my opinion, but Kotaku is up to its usual shoddy "journalism". They list no source, the content is still $20 according to the Marketplace's web interface, and Major Nelson is reporting that the deal for this week is Fifa 09's Ultimate Team DLC: http://majornelson.com/archive/2009/...mate-team.aspx

You'd think that Kotaku would take the 5 minutes necessary to verify a story before they run it.

Okay, here's the press release that Kotaku completely misread:

http://gamerscoreblog.com/press/arch...0/jhk5768.aspx

The GTA DLC deal will be for the week of 8/24.

Re: The Official GTA IV - multi console super friends thread - Part 2!

Well I tried a regular Niko game on the 360 and I also could not blow up cars with the chopper. Only seems to work in the LATD DLC. Must be faulty memory on my part.

Major Nelson's show confirms this. 1200 points (25% off).

Re: The Official GTA IV - multi console super friends thread - Part 2!

The Lost and Damned is a MUCH better installment than Niko's story. Shorter, yes but the imporvment on the vehicle physics (and yes, I actually like the driving in GTA IV), the characters, & STORY are much more involving. This time out there is no masking that all the players involved are scumbags (including your player) and all the shit goes down within your own brotherhood.

I highly recommend picking up the lost and the damned - even the side missions after you beat the main game are solid this time out and there were multiple things I missed since my last post (stating there was once again nothing to do after beating it) like:

Spoiler:
one side mission involves you wire tapping a car, you jack the car, take it to the power plant for some dude to hook up the equipment on it, drive it back unscratched to the house and run away. After, stubbs calls you on your phone giving you a number to call to listen in on the guy when he's in the car - I called it like 5 times and received a different listening each time - very cool.


Also, "The Ballad of Gay Tony" trailer premiers on 09/01 - desktops wallpapers are avialable for dl at rockstargames.com as well and there's a cool pic of some dude intentionally (or is he drunk?) jumping out of a chopper.

I can't believe how long they've taken with releasing DLC for this game. By the time the 3rd DLC comes out Saints Row 3 will be released.

So you're saying Saints Row 3 will be released on October 29th!!! Can't wait!!!

I think it's all timing and given the amount of time it takes to create these DLC's (there is A LOT of attention given to them, the lost and damned really is a stand alone game - 5 hours more added on and it would have sealed the deal even more).

Up next on Rockstar's plate:

- Red Dead Redemption:

- Agent (playstation 3 only...looks like):

- LA Noire (Collabrative with team Bondi - trailer included...looks great):

I've waiting for that L.A. Noire for a while. When it is coming out? That and Hydrophobia are my two anticipated future games with no release date yet.
