This better be something good if they want my $20 for it when I have no interest in GTA 4 whatsoever right now

When was that suggested? We were (at least I was) only saying that we hope its something worthwhile to pique our interests else we won't get it. Obviously, there was a hidden message in the source suggesting we are being forced to buy it regardless of whether its good. And that if sure does give off a hint of being forced

It better be an entire freaking expansion pack for 20 bucks. 20 bucks is beyond the realm of DLC, and directly into expansion pack territory. It better add to the game mechanics (more weapons, the ability to parachute off of buildings, etc) and not just to the length (which is all a few additional missions would do).
Give me a flamethrower, and leave the "go to point A, whack some dudes, run from police back to point B" missions at the door.

What a retarded argument that is. So no one can ever complain about anything because no one's forcing them to buy it? Horrible logic. It's called feedback, something that rockstar can collect so they stop putting out shit like GTA 4 and return to what made the gta games fun to begin with.

It could be cheaper to get it from GS than from the XBLM

FUCK. I cant even reply to a comment, only start a new one, because of fucking Ozzy. Hes almost as bad as that hummingbird.
Listen joystiq, we know you need money, but shoving the SAME ad at us every 10 seconds is not going to help. Furthermore, if your gonna do that, at least make it work, not cripple your site. now your just sustituting functionality for advertisments. For shame.

Yeh Kevlar, blocking ads that shouldn't be there is not a solution.

Yeah, screw Joystiq and their ad-driven revenue stream that keeps the site open and viable.

I guess this is about the same as just having to go out to Gamestop and buy some points card, isn't it? You just wont get any of those dastardly extra points that never go away!
I'm waiting for reviews anyways.

God fucking hell how is this going to translate to Yurpeon money.
Hopefully that $20 includes some item or book or something and that it will be cheaper direct from the Live shop place.

For $20.00, there better be at least as much new content as 1/3 of the original game.

Considering it will be 10 months since launch when this drops in February, I wouldn't expect this to be a bare bones DLC. If they did that, then they're a bunch of cheap charlatans. I can't see that being the case. Too much face to lose of they did that.

Oh yea, I'm looking forward to forgoing everything that DLC offers versus retail like the comfort of not leaving my home, the easy of purchase, no need to deal with a snarky clerk, and FOR POSTERS?!?!?!
I'll take five.

It depends. If they're adding all the awesome fun stuff they left out from SA then I'll actually go out and rebuy 4 and buy the dlc. But if they don't, then I'll be more than happy to forget about GTA 4 forever.

Um, the PS3 version was superior. Better framerate, draw distance, anti-aliasing, shadows, more on screen pedestrians/vehicles, better controller, free online multiplayer, and a system that can survive extended play times without worry

20$ for this DLC, and let me guess, 20$ for the next batch of DLC? 40$ for the entire thing?
There PR department better be holding some serious punches. And they better deliver a lot more then I expected.
They better add a lot more in the way of weapons, vehicles, multiplayer gametypes and activities then I expected.
Seriously 40$ is a LOT for DLC for a year old game. This is going to be a tough sell. Rockstar better go all out, or this is going to be a bust.
Would be nice if they added Staten Island, and the rest of Jersey city as well.

For $20 I better be getting everything they took out of san andreas. I'm going to be really pissed off if they're charging $20 just for more story/cutscenes/chase missions. No one should give a shit about a story in a GTA game, specially if it's at the cost of FUN.

I have adblock plus on firefox and instead of seeing ozzy fill up the screen I a big black nothing fill up the screen. It's really annoying and it's been going on for almost 2 weeks now. I had to use IE tab to write this comment.
