GTA dloads on xbox live

[Daihlo]

All GTA IV dloads are half price at the mo on xbox live.
Anyone know if you need the actual game to play the addon packs though?

If you buy them in the shop, theyre self contained, not sure bout dload though.
I dont have the game but Lost and Damned works out just a few £ to dload.

Ballad of Gay Tony is really good, great plot and new features etc. Lost and Damned isn't quiet as good in my opinion but still well worth it, decent plot and being a biker dude killing people.

If buying the DLC you need GTA 4 to play it.
The two on a disc was done so you didn't need the game, similar to what Rockstar did with their Red Dead DLC.

I loved Lost & the Damned, superb game & really captured the idea of a gritty biker gang.
Ballad of Gay Tony was Rockstar's response to complaints that so much was taken out of GTA4. Ironically for me there was just too much thrown at you 7 for me the least enjoyable of the three games.

I got san andreas on this for like 400 Microsoft points, fucking chuffed I was. Prefered it to GTA 4 which I got bored of tbh.

Is Gay Tony worth me getting? My fav GTA ever was Vice City everythign else seems a step backwards

Yeah Vice City is still my favopurite of the whole series.
I think the problem is that San Andreas had SO much crammed into the game. A huge open world which had many distinctive areas. So many extra missions & silly things to do.

Then GTA4 came along. Graphically a huge increase, I thought Liberty City looked stunning when first playing it. but so very little to do when you compare it with games on the previous Gen consoles which just seems so wrong plus very little variety in the missions.

I did enjoy Lost & the Damned as felt it really did a good job of the feel of a biker gang plus I'm not sure if its because it was shorter but missions seem a lot more varied.
