GTAIV Lost and the Damed

[Ravenbom]

$20
I really don't know if I want to pay that much for DLC.
There's plenty of platinum hits for $20, so if I can get a bunch of full games I never played for the same price, why would I want to spend that much on DLC?
I mean, it's 1/3 the full retail of the game.
Plus, all the new weapons and improvements are only in Lost and the Damned, you can't use them in Nico's Story in GTAIV. At least the Fallout 3 DLC allows you to use new weapons and equipment and perks in the main game.

I don't know. $20 is just too much for me. I was expecting $15, and I know it's only $5, but I'd rather rent 3 games for $21, than get one DLC for $20. Or buy a full game that I missed a year or two ago.

Thoughts?

I heard it spans 8 hours - seems like its worth the money - I just bought it and have beaten a few missions - its actually very good. The characters are engaging and the missions are fun, and the bike handles great. I didn't like GTA 4, but I'm sure I will complete this DLC.

Then there is the new online modes.

I'm sure it does span 15 hours, but like all GTA's, that's probably mostly in the side missions and all the other open world stuff so you can get 100%. That can be fun to just frustrating.

1 up says 8, it obviously depends on skill etc.. whatever the case it'll be the longest DLC I've ever downloaded.

I've heared that it spans anywhere from 10hrs for veterans of the series, and 20hrs if you're putzing around in no real hurry. I'll probably buy it, but I'm really into Rock Band 2 right now.
