Which episode? The Gay balled one?

Yeah. The title might be kind of odd but you play as an ex-con who works for a gay nightclub owner/crime boss (Gay Tony).

Excerpt:

Quote:

This superb downloadable episode for GTAIV would be easy to recommend even if it were a full retail product selling for three times its actual price.

The Good
* Luis Lopez is a great protagonist
* Lengthy storyline with loads of varied missions
* New vehicles and weapons freshen up the familiar gameplay
* Option to replay missions for leaderboard high scores once you beat the game
* More new content than many full-priced games.

The Bad
* Visuals are starting to show their age
* Little in the way of new multiplayer content.

Well this one has both storys on one disc so we will see!

I wonder if Nikko shows up in the Lost and Dammed at all.

Which is why I'm glad I didn't download it when it came out earlier this year. DLC to me is somewhat of a rip-off since you're limited to playing it off one hard-drive (so your friends can't borrow it) at a time and it has zero re-sale value.

and yeah, Niko does have a cameo in Lost and Damned.

I am going to grab the game tonight if they have it. Someone explain to me who Johnny is? You guys are saying he is the biker guy from GTA 4, but I don't remember him. I think it would make the story better if I knew who he was. I plan on playing Lost and the Damned first because some people have said that if you play it second, it is sorta disappointing in comparison. I think it would be better to climb the hill of greatness so to speak.

ive played the lost and the damned. and they got some pretty nice weapons in there. (fully auto shotgun!!) i liekd the story i beat it in like 10 hours. too bad i sold my GTA i wanted to play Ballad of Gay Tony

ps Johnny is the guy Niko meets by that latino chick when a meetup went wrong for some diamonds(maybe cash i forgot) with the Jews(i think??) in a building and a massive shoot out occurs and they end up not bumping into eachother again

Good news for you then, you don't need to have GTA 4 to play Ballad of Gay Tony.

Downloaded it this morning and played the first couple missions. These games never get old to me. I like how each of the storylines run together at the same time, and its always cool to see cameo's from guys in previous games.

how does it work, exactly? Both Lost and Dammed and Gay Tony are on one disc right? Do you start a story mode and play with them both throughout one story, or choose which story you want to do?
