Epic.

That is all.

Epic? That my good sir, is an understatement. Words cannot describe this, not even the word... uh... epic.

 

[Ghostkai]

Would be a bolder move to give the player's a female lead. Still, sounds interesting.

 

[KissofKetchup]

aww...I was hoping that the next episode would tie up the loose ends with the guy that thought Niko stole from him and was buds with Rascalov

Now we can play online without having to deal homophobic assholes.

So... no new areas to explore outside of Liberty City I take it? Well, there's always GTA V.

There are two things that we need from this DLC, a protagonist who isn't just a characicature of his sexual preference, and a story line that is more than 2 dimensional exploration of gay themes.

A good place to start is with The Wire's Omar little [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Little]; he is one of the best characters of the series in my opinion.

Thank you, you beat me to it. Omar is hands down one of the best characters of the series, and is pretty unique. However I can see this selling half of what TLATD sold, I mean come now, 360 exclusive DLC that is about a gay character? I'll let you figure out what I'm getting at.

Also Wilson, were you always Red Guard, or did you get promoted? I couldn't remember you being Red Guard in the past, maybe it's just me.

Wilson's been redguard since there were redguard

I think they should sell this in shops though, just to see people's faces when they try to ask for "G...G.....G.....G...That Tony game"

I wonder if Rockstar want this pack to be turned into a physical disc at some point, just to have kids go up to a game store counter and asking for "The ballad of gay tony"

Having kids discuss it in school may be good enough though...

Haha, Rockstar has gone crazy with power. They don't give a shit anymore, they do what they want.
Probably will be an extremely effeminate latino stereotype. If not, then it's just more to love about Rockstar.

Yea, when I saw the amount of effort they put into L&D, I kind of gave up hope of seeing any landmass additions to LC. It'll probably have more guns nobody wants: derringer pistol, bullwhip, and ... what's a fruity variety of shotgun? Though a flamethrower would be fitting, we probably won't see one. And it's still $20, yes disappointing. The last one was overpriced too.

The real irony is that it's a 360 exclusive. Wasn't MS called out for it's homophobic practices recently? And what makes them think this'll be appealing to all the high-pitched homophobic brats that infest xbl?

TLAD was very well dne so I'm looking forward to this.
I think it should be more like 1200 points though, 1600 is a bit pricey.

 

[Cliff_m85]

I hope it goes into gay themes, Rockstar tends to add interesting social commentaries and I'd love to see where they take this.

It's taken me this long to read this...Firefox and the Escapist weren't really getting along there for some reason.

At first I thought this was going to be some kind of joke, but it seems it is true after all. I still don't think I could see myself buying something like this in a shop so it's a good thing there's the DLC route. Gotta hand it Rockstar for coming up with such an..ahem..."unique" title.

They really are just doing whatever they want now...
