This must be like the first time in history a GTA game has recived next to no hype at all, no one has even created a topic about it (as far as I know) Is there no one interested? GTA is like one of the most popular series of games... its up there with final fantasy atleast!... does anyone actually own a copy of Episodes from Liberty City? its not even on top ten most wanted games on gamesfaqs.... shocking IMO

Because it's going to be exactly the same as the last GTA game with no real updates or gameplay changes at all. (:

GTA is only a popular franchise because, lets face it, it's fun to hit someone with a baseball bat and steal their car. Very therapudic.

With all the current releases of games with actual story, enhanced/changed gameplay.. GTA DLC or a new game or whatever it is.. Really doesn't catch as many eyes as you'd think it would.

It's not a standalone game. It contains the 2 DLC packs in one. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City,is The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned combined. That's all.

This.

No one's hyped because it's not a new GTA, it's just the DLC on disc format.

I'm looking forward to it. TLATD was one of the best value for money DLCs that I've bought so I'll definitely be getting The Ballad of Gay Tony the day it becomes available for download.

I'm plenty excited about it.

But we've known the plot and added features for a long time now. All that's left to do is play.

i have played almost every gta game before this latest instalment.even going as far back as the very first. but why not "the ballad of gay tony" you ask? i am tired of it. the violence is tiresome, the betrayals. everything that does go on in the criminal world has gone on in the grand theft auto games, hands down. unless in this more flamboyant game you spend most of it in gay bars? is it as violent as the others? i don't know because i have not played it.

take it from me. i am one gamer that will not be playing "the ballad of gay tony".

I think I'll be purchasing the new DLC, just not right away. Most people have moved on from GTA IV. It is a great game, but so much has come out and is coming out. More of us are excited for new titles as opposed to DLC, no matter how great and expansive (hour-wise) the new GTA DLC will be.

I'm going to be getting the DLC the day it comes out. I really enjoyed GTAIV and TLAD a lot. The stories were intriguing to me, and the gameplay is just plain fun. Plus, when the episodes are as long as some full retail games, the price isn't too bad either.

Saints row is for babies, to be quite honest.

C: So you are telling me that an M rated game withBlood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Drugs and Alcohol is for babies? Personally, I'm not very hyped for the dlc although, I do want it.

Yes it is. It just takes the two DLC episodes and puts it on one disc. DLC.

Ive spent countlesshours on Saints Row 2.

Saints Row 2 is the real sequel to San Andreas, and its easily better then San Andreas.

GTA 4 was a big disappoint for me. Just not that much fun.

I'm a big fan of the GTA games but I too think Saints row 2 is better then GTA 4 (haven't played DLC). Although GTA 4 is amazing in terms of graphics and physics for such a huge game. I would rather have diverse gameplay. GTA SA is the best of all these game. When I started saints row 2 I felt the story was a bit over the top but after a while I found I couldn't wait to see how the next cut scene would go. I was a bit disappointed with GTA 4's story and main character.

Because it's not a new GTA game. It's the two DLC episodes on one disc that lets you play them without having to own GTA IV. It's not really a big deal.

It's just DLC, most people already have TLAD from before so getting the second one online only makes sense. This is just for those who won't purchase it online or don't want to have any remaining points after getting the episodes.

I think you meant to say Grand Theft Auto is the coolest game in the world, (Next to Halo)

I already Downloaded TLAD and it was the best DLC ever. I will for sure be picking up TBOGT when it's released on the 29th of October. To anwesr your question though it's just DLC and that is why there is probably not as much hype as there should be for it.

Well, after playing every single GTA, I feel like its getting old. Gta 4 was just to realistic, like it was amazing and the graphics. But I think I have more fun on saints row because its so unrealistic, I'll proably rent/buy it, But I'm not THAT excited.

Honestly I forgot it's coming out this week. Forza 3, Tekken 6, and Ratchet and Clank all come out this week so I guess it slipped my mind. I am excited for it though and can't wait to play it.

Everyone is uncomfortable with a title about a gay character. No one wants to sayat work "Damn I can't wait for GAY TONY!!!". Come on you know it's true. Even if the game follows a heterosexual, black gangster way more than Tony... The name is still Gay Tony".

I Hope Rock Star knows what they are doing. When was the last time You had a friend or coworker come up to you talking about how funny (ot not funny, or anything at all) about"Bruno"???

I wouldnt go as far to say Saints Row is for babies... it has more customization than GTA & I just found it more relaxed at fun. GTA4 was good but I prefer the older ones, Vice City probably being my favourite.

It's just the DLC episodes. They are only making it a standalone game to sell a little bit more. I'll probably get it on disc, because I didn't get it over Live, but I'm not rushing out for it at this point. GTA IV is old now!

Saints row is for babies, to be quite honest.

No actually Saints Row is for people who are able to look past the hype and realize that in GTA IV, past the amazing story, what is there to do? The only thing you can spend your money on is guns, so what am I going to do with $1,000,000 after I have so much ammo for all my guns that I don't know what to do with. In Saints Row 2, past the story, you can do co op through the story, do co op activities, dress up in a wider array and much cooler looking outfits than GTA4, customize your character to look however you want (mine looks like the joker, suit, makeup, mouth, everything), customize vehicles and put on nitro (something GTA4 foolishly left out, along with the harrier jet from San Andreas), etc. The people at Rockstar forgot what really made GTA games fun, and that was unrealistic mayhem. In their attempts to make GTA realistic they sacrificed free roaming fun and that is why it is not anywhere as good as Saints Row when it comes to fun and replayability (and auto aim shouldn't be there). This is not opinion, it is FACT.
