Have to say I'm really enjoying this, there's something about it that I'm finding really appealing.

Loving the music on this, "run to the hillssss!"

ARRRRGGHHH the more I read, the more I want to go to Game and buy the points pack, but cannot justify it with me wanting to get KZ2/RE5 and maybe SF4 and having a whole host of games still to play. :mad:

The new radio stations sound fantastic, proper ROCK so it would seem

Yeah, I liked having Highway Star by Deep Purple as the first song when I took off on my bike

Well that's the straw that broke the camels back!

Good job I've already got the points on my account when I get home.

Anyone know what sort of gameplay length they gave the DLC?

Like the original GTAIV was like 30hrs gameplay, or something like that.

Took me about 70hours to 100% :eek:

Any extras in this DLC... i.e. like the stunt jump, hidden packages, drug runs etc?

Surely 50% of that was hunting for pigeons using a guide etc? I don't really class that as gameplay as its boring (to me). Anyone know how long the actual storyline is?

I didn't even bother with the pidgeon stuff, just a luxury having GTA 100%... Just the story is good enough for me.

Justifying whether to go out and buy this, but its too cold and i've no money =[

With the wireless reception i get from those wireless xbox receiver things, you would think so.

To be honest a lot of that was probably my housemate messing about.

I did the main story in about 26hours of gaming time (I would load if i failed a mission though as I wanted to do it in sub 30 hours).

There is plenty to do after the main missions though, pigeons probably took 5hours total over the course of a few nights. Not too bad when there are two of you doing it together

Bugger me this is slow downloading. Just got home and bought the thing and it's been stuck on 4% for a long longer than normal.

Am tempted to get a cheap 2nd hand copy of this game and get the DLC.

I assume it makes absolutely no difference to the expansion if your single player game has just started? (I completed it on PS3 already so just plan to do the opening intro to then play the expansion, I guess).

I was listening to a podcast about it.

Aparently you switch between GTAIV and L&D before the intro or something.

Someoen that's actually played it will be able to confirm.

Shamikebab · 17 Feb 2009 at 17:43

Yeah it asks you if you want to play L&D when you load.

McManicMan · 17 Feb 2009 at 17:59

I shall get it when they do a price drop on the DLC, to many other games to worry about atm

Only asks you the first time you start it, after that you goto the load game screen and load the save of the story you want.

Good to know - I was thinking it would be a bit annoying to have to choose everytime you loaded GTA
