How *big is the download?

[cafevincent]

What I would like to know if they fixed the car handling? I tried IV once and I hated that I had to use the brakes ALOT in every turn. It was next to impossible to enjoy the driving. I want the Vice City / San Andreas handling back!

I think the handling is great, if you want the old GTA style handling play SR2.

Are you saying you have lost and damned and it has the same handling as IV?

[ph0b0z]

Hmpf, i just ope for a PC-Version of this. :)
Vehicle-Physics was great btw.

[crypysmoker]

YEs, it is an ad on expansion story.

Im not getting it based on the fact that its $20. Thats some arcade games and some movies/ tv shows for me.

[SLAYERPSP]

i just traded in a crappy ps3 game got 30.00 for it.bought the download card at lamestop i like it gta4 rules too many haters

[sliggo]

its great, only played an hour or so but its worth the money already.

[msanchez]

Well glad to see people are enjoying the much hyped content. If it's truly as expansive as they made it out to be then I think for $20 it's a pretty good deal for those that like GTA games.

[dvader2009]

I am pleased with the game / add-on but i think the car handling sucks.
it's way to loose in the ass end..
the bikes don't seem to drive like that, but when you drive a car or SUV it's like driving a boat, but worse..
I don't seem to remember it being that bad in the game (pre-addon)

I agree with you.

I hopped off my bike and grabbed the Ferrari-looking car, and it didn't seem to handle or was as fast as I remember.

[Talidan]

Yeah i noticed that too. I think its simply because Johnny is much better at riding bikes and rubbish at driving cars when compared to niko. He's also much more resistant to falling off bikes i've noticed. Also notice Niko can swim/run a lot faster than Johnny and is much more agile (clearly due to his military background), so i think its quite fitting

Also w00t @ roadrash races :D!

[Mikeyy]

If this was available to PS3 owners I'd Buy it, but no R* doesnt want my $20.

I was hoping the vehicle physics would be less like driving a boat (like it was in IV) but you say its more like that in this addon? Oh dear god... I have to wait even longer to get a decent next-gen gta!?!?

[jokermaycry]

Please can anyone answer my previous question :

Sweet
If we doesn't finish the game can we switch between the expansion and the principale game ?
Thanks a lot

Thanks :)

[Hexame]

What so is it just an add-on to Gta IV? If so how do you play it? Do youneed Gta.

Yes of course. Savegames are kept in the same list you used for original game, so loading an old savegame goes back to original campaign.

When you boot up GTA4 you get a prompt asking you if you want to launch Lost and Damned.

Oh also, if you think the original GTA4 handling was like handling a boat you suck at driving :P

You do not even consider gta4 to be a decent game, I guess some people expect far too much, or they just enjoy talking garbage. I personally believe it to be a 9 out of 10 game yet I realise some wont agree but at the very least the game is DECENT.

[jokermaycry]

Thanks Talidan

[buggyglint1]

Are you saying you have lost and damned and it has the same handling as IV?

Yes it does have the same handling...

[splattered]

Yes they do, and MS wants your $300... get to it and stop being so one sided on here!

:P

[totaleclipse_05]

People still play GTA4? I haven't touched that game in about 4-5 months now.

[goodall]

does anyone think GTA4 will get a new release with the DLC already on the disk, like burnout has done with the ultimate box, I hope they do, I can't get onto live (not that i would have bought it)

Don't think so, MS wants to everything downloaded now... hence the name "DLC".

[splattered]

Eventually yes, when it hits the platinum series it will have all content included i'm sure :)

Since when has any GTA become a platinum hit title for xbox?

when they sell a certain amount they will. They simply haven't had the chance to sell as much previously.
