Someone on CAG posted a pic of the "box" that you can buy -

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned
Why are people so concerned about a box? It's like the people that get all bent out of shape over the regular and Greatest/Platinum Hits versions of games. What difference does it make? The game is still the same.
That being said, I was curious about the download. Can you choose between GTA IV and the LaD? I am going to play LaD but I still have to finish GTA IV, so I was wondering if it's possible. I hope you don't have to delete the DLC to play GTA IV.

Who's concerned? Someone was just surprised that DLC was being sold in a box.

Except for the fact that the box just contains a code to download the content from the marketplace.

But what Gooter is stating is that it comes with free trial 48 hours of LIVE for those that don't have silver or gold LIVE membership to be able to download it. So it's not alienating those that don't play online.

Did you actually play the dlc to know if its good or bad? Or are you just assuming its bad? KZ2 hasnt even come out yet. How can you say something is better if you havent even played the game yet?

I planned on downloading it this morning, but decided to go to Best Buy and get the box. I guess the OCD in me wanted the add-on on my shelf next to my GTAIV game.

My least fond memory from that whole game is riding that dirtbike down the beach while trying to shoot that damn boat...before knowing
Spoiler:
Must've done that mission 25 times.
Ugh.

I would be all over this if it was on PS3. I haven't even unlocked the last area in GTAIV yet, so I've got plenty to keep me busy for a while.

I just played a mission. Alot of fun just driving around, like the old GTA IV days. However the controls in the game remind me how spoiled we were with Saints Row 2. It is a royal pain in the ass to control the main character, and he can't sprint for shit.
The bikes and cars handle well, that was never an issue for me.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned
Several crucial gameplay tweaks were made for L&D. The most notable is a major tweaking of the motorcycles. Anyone who played GTA IV can tell you that the bikes can be a bitch to handle and that it's easy to get unseated from your ride. Because L&D stars a biker, things needed to change. Every bike handles better in L&D and a healthy number have been added so that there's plenty of variety available in Liberty City. More importantly, it's incredibly difficult to be thrown from your bike now. You pretty much need to run head-on into a wall to get tossed. You can bounce off medians, smack against other cars and pretty much run roughshod over Liberty City with little concern for being unseated.

As for the full frontal male nudity, I've actually noticed the increase in such in lots of mainstream movies and such as of the last year or two. It's the last boundry really. At some point you run out of things that shock the viewer. The penis seems to be the new shock flavor. (That may be the worst sentence I've ever typed.)

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned
I am kind of wondering about that too, I completed the story on GTA IV but want to wrap up a few achievements and get re-acquainted with the controls before jumping into LaD, that and with the 1600 point Microsoft point price tag it might have to wait until payday Friday anyway.

Kill Playboy X. You get to use his place as a safe house, plus you get Dwayne as a friend which has it's perks such as sending thugs to back you up when you call. From what I've heard you get nothing for killing Dwayne.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned
So...I bought the DLC at work today. I got home and popped in my GTA4 disc, and it won't play. It must have gotten beat up a little bit when I was moving.
Ugh. Now I have to see if Game Crazy can rebuff it for me, or I'm going to have to go the rental route.
