It certainly is looking good. It appears they' ve ditched the silly kiddie appeal like jetpacks and the like and gone for much more mature grittier tone which is good.

I' m still concerned with the downloadable content bullshit. Why can' t they just make a complete game and sell it like the rest of the market?

Seriously, terrible fucking idea.

The DLC will likely just be additional missions, set within the same confines of the retail release. I don' t understand your concern.

You' re saying that they' ll purposefully leave already planned content out so they can sell it at a later date?

Unless it' s an actual expansion like Shivering Isles with all new areas, what difference does it make if they release a vehicle set, some additional outfits/weapons/missions etc...?

It' s not like they' ll expand the story through DLC, it' ll just be sidequest stuff.

Those missions should be on the PS3 and the PC. Those missions should be included with the $60 pricetag.

Maybe, maybe not.

Because they are nickel and diming consumers! They should be dedicated to creating an experience and then selling it like everybody else.

The content will probably be compelling enough. This is Rockstar screwing over its fans.

While I didnt learn anything new from this article, it still was cool to find out you can finally break car windows with your elbow.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Will you quit whining like a moron. They PLAN to MAKE content AFTER the game is released. They arent being like EA and releasing things like Jerseys and Stadiums the day the game releases.
I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

EA brand downloadable ankle-tatoos for your characters = 500 points. It' s coming.

I had something of a vendetta against the GTA series up until quite recently, I' ll admit. But my friend gave me a copy of Liberty City Stories for PSP & I have to say, it' s starting to grow on me. I' m liking the " Gangster" Liberty City Stories more than the " Gangsta" San Andreas I played last year for sure. As of late I' ve been cruising around the map listening to the radio stations. Absolutely brilliant humor.

My eye will be on this for sure.

I was just thinking, what if the game had a character that was South Korean considering the VA tech shooting incident involved a South Korean?

WHY don' t they MAKE the content FOR THE ORIGINAL RELEASE?

Also, it' s exclusive to one console. Terrible fucking decision.

But since both versions are getting " exclusive" content it can' t possibly affect the main narrative and will have to be just additional side missions.

I am however starting to get what you' re saying. If they have content in mind now, why can' t they include it in the retail release!?

It' s not like a handful of side quests couldn' t be done very quickly.

You guys make it sound like IV won' t get any side quests in the original release. This will be a huge multiplatform game. Can you really blame the publisher for accepting incentives from MS and/or Sony for creating exclusive content?

I don' t even care about extra content. If I know anything about videogames and the series, even a barebones (which is an overstatement) IV will give you your moneys worth.

Some of you guys are funny, in your eyes it seems preposterous to pay 5-10$ for extra content for a brilliant game but without flinching you' ll gladly bend over for Nintendo and throw away 50$ for a GIMP game like Excite Truck.
