i might be being amazingly dumb here but i can't find BOGT on xbox marketplace. just no mention of it anywhere, apart from a few poxy trailers. coz, did you buy the disc or d/l it?

"Opens Everywhere March" seems hard to believe.

GTA Suffolk lol

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/offers/0ccf0004-0000-4000-8000-0000545407f2

thanks coz, yeah sorted it now. i thought they'd put it out there at 0:01 hours, bit slack to leave it til 930am

you have to look for it on xbl, don't you? but downloading now...

NO SPOILERS (till after the weekend? okay)

March doesn't seem unbelievably soon - that would be about two years after IV, and they'd be using the same engine, I'd imagine. Maybe it's an announcement in March for a fall release or something like that though?

okay lovin' this. only had 30 mins to get my feet wet, so haven't progressed AT ALL with the story mission, but the club seems fun as fuck, and the characters are a lot more likeable and charismatic than in the previous two iterations.

dipped v briefly into deatmatch online, and got a tasty of the tasty weapons. the arena must've been filled with stone-cold n00bs because i won the deathbatch, and i am like shit at videogames.

xp it's possible. my memory might be off but with the exception of IV, they have usually announced previous games pretty close to actual release

yeah, loving this too, yeah it's just GTAIV but something about it (the characters? voice work? story? perspective?) just makes it so much more lovable

Are my beloved L&D weapons still available in Gay Tony?

driving through liberty city listening to Hue and Cry

I'm gonna end up buying this on disc despite having L&D, so I can get the extra radio station and not have to cripple my 20gb hard drive earlier

early adopters gettin fuccccked

earlier = further

oh this is so great. i'm mostly ignoring the missions in favour of driving around listening to sister sledge and candi staton.

this has me wondering, how much would an act get paid for having their song used in the game? seems like a bargain to have so many incredible songs to listen to AS WELL AS an awesome game, for only £15 or so. maybe the licensing wouldn't cost much though, i can imagine acts being keen to waive the fee just to have their music on there. does anyone know the details of ths?

xpost woah, the disc version has extra songs?!

ha, there are mentions of vice city in the story and the cameos are great

One thing driving me crazy about L&D (just playing it now) is how fucking USELESS the bikes are in a police chase.

-they can shoot you off the bike
-they can ram you off the bike
-the bike corners for shit
-the bike can't ram through barriers
-I don't like the bike
-Why do I have to use the bike

Yeah, but that's where knowing which alleys to shoot through is pretty helpful.

i much preferred the racing sidegames in L&D. the beauty of bikes is that they're nimble and can slip through gaps easier (the zippier ones anyway, not the lumbering hells angels ones)

I heard the bikes control better in TLaD? I haven't played it yet tho

explosive armour piercing snipers rifle in TBOGT is off the hook

yeah bikes handle much better then cars. you can get through traffic and alleys easier. they also made it harder to fly off the handle bars. the real bullshit is when a cop shoots out your tire.

I didn't even realise but apparently these radio stations have been cut from the disc version

Fusion FM
IF99 – International Funk
JNR – Jazz Nation Radio
The Journey
Tuff Gong Radio
The Vibe 98.8

the journey!!! :(:(:(:(

mori and yusef are fkn hilarious, as are tony and evan

a-rab money!

wtf the journey rules

xxxpost what's going on with the radio? so the disc version has all those stations missing but a bunch of extra songs? there's no way on earth i could put up with not having the vibe. fusion, IF, jazz & journey too, all pretty much essential.

Is the extra Mondeo Pop station on the disc worth losing half the best original stations for? I haven't finished GTA so I can always go back and listen to those ones during my six monthly chunk of main game but I'unno man

It really needs like Go West and Robert Palmer

I know I'm a bit late to the party on this but I am LOVING Lost & Damned. I'm loving just grinding side quests, which I never liked doing on GTA4. Best game starring a Jewish biker I've played this year.

the sidequests on both the DLCs are brilliant, much better than the main game car-stealing ones. i'm spending all my time on drug wars on BOGT at the moment, leaving the main plot til i've done these.

hang on, so they changed the name of this latest DLC?

ya it's now called the ballad of straight tony

Both DLCs + GTA4 = the game I wanted GTA4 to be in the first place

so for the record, the best version of Lost and Damned is the DLC version, though they put in a new radio station to make up for it?

There are a few new radio stations, guys-- Self-Actualization is a trancey techno station like The Journey (I thought it'd be a new-age talk station) and there's a new hip-hop station, and the rock station has all new songs and all new Iggy.

Just started TBOGT and I got back in the Liberty City ZONE for the first time in forever (didn't get L&D) - kickin' it on a bike, cruising round and listening to Smashing Pumpkins' 1979 - when it ground to a halt with "unable to read disc". Totally harshed my buzz ;_;

The addition of nitro has RUINED the online racing.

Also disappointed there are no new co-op missions that i can grind to get my ranking up. Although given that bronze to silver takes as much money as n00b to bronze, and it took me a couple of unemployed months to get that far, chances would be slim anyway.

Damn the L&D multiplayer modes look pretty good, maybe I should get that too.

racing in L& D is fantastic.

i haven't played a single deathmatch/race in TBOGT, and i haven't really played more than the first couple of missions either; i just seem to spend all my (admittedly limited) time on the xbox dicking about in online free mode, stealing helicopters and being blitzed by helicopters.
