Lost and Damned Achievements spotted on GTAIV PC

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 10th 2009 at 4:40PM }

According to a post on GTA4.net, a new update for the Games for Windows version of Grand Theft Auto IV has added Achievements from the Xbox DLC, The Lost and Damned. If the details of the update are accurate -- and users on the GFW forums indicate they are -- it looks like the DLC's long touted Xbox 360 exclusivity may be drawing to a close. Of course, as Games for Windows is also a Microsoft platform, it doesn't necessarily mean that PS3 owners will be joining in anytime soon.

We've contacted Microsoft for clarification on the update and will update this post when we receive new information.

GFW Live.
Nuff said.

figures.

DamonTheMoney @ Nov 10th 2009 5:23PM

I hope this is true :-) If it is indeed true, then I'll just sell my PS3 version and get it for the PC. Unless ofcourse, it comes to the PS3, but I don't really care either way.

Solace @ Nov 10th 2009 5:25PM

timed exclusive just as we thought

Anthology @ Nov 10th 2009 5:32PM

I would definitely not say that this removes exclusivity, considering it is Games for Windows Live still.

Jack Tretton @ Nov 10th 2009 6:02PM

What's this "we" shit? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

Never minding the fact GFW is synonymous with Microsoft, Microsoft loaned Rockstar $50 million to make this DLC happen -- it will never see the light of day on PS3.

Marius Returns @ Nov 10th 2009 6:16PM

and because of those $50 million we get Agent :D

The Baron @ Nov 10th 2009 5:26PM

Awesome, I originally bought on PS3 and I prefer playing on PC; so I wasn't looking forward to having the game on all three 'next-gen' platforms.

Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Nov 10th 2009 5:27PM

Wake me when they got deets on Gay Tony PC.

Dummy00001 @ Nov 10th 2009 5:27PM

Can anybody recap what is the point of achievements?

One unlocks an achievement and .... ??

Special Agent Steve @ Nov 10th 2009 6:03PM

Your E-Penis gains 1 xp.

Dafrety @ Nov 10th 2009 9:37PM

To say hey guize, I did this thing. Basically what people did in arcades. Also some newer games give you in game rewards for unlocking achievements/trophies.

The Baron @ Nov 11th 2009 9:30AM

Makes you play the game in different ways to get the different achieves (e.g. Fallout 3), gives you a real sense of completion in some shorter games (Uncharted), on the other hand I did sometimes find myself focusing on getting cheevos instead of just having fun.

lokar82 @ Nov 10th 2009 5:36PM

and...
the rest of the internet bows down to your game playing greatness and pays homage to you, mostly in the form of money and attention. At least that's how it's worked out for me.

Gripman @ Nov 10th 2009 5:56PM

Sweet. I was going to get GTA IV PC (see wut I did thar?) anyway, but if the two DLCs are on their way to PC, then I'm definitely buying a copy. It's only $16 on Amazon.

iTzDaKroniK @ Nov 10th 2009 6:00PM

Cool now PC players can turn police into taco meat with the street sweeper.

Dafrety @ Nov 10th 2009 9:41PM

There was a street sweeper?
*pops in GTA4 disc*

iTzDaKroniK @ Nov 11th 2009 3:41PM

The street sweeper came with the Lost and Damned DLC.

Special Agent Steve @ Nov 10th 2009 6:03PM

Wait... I thought this WAS timed DLC. Huh, oh well. I was kind expecting it, but still, great news. Skydiving is more fun with a mouse anyway.... instead of a parachute.

RKN @ Nov 10th 2009 6:41PM

YES, YES FUCKING YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the PC will also get the second expansion.

And hey MS, how about Gears 2, Fable 2, etc?

But this is a wonderful start, thank you!

HeXeN @ Nov 10th 2009 7:58PM

Didn't you say that you have a 360! why not just get all of those right now?

Kleptomaniac @ Nov 10th 2009 8:08PM

Since you mentioned wanting Gears 2 on PC I checked out Wikipedia and the first game was ported over roughly 1 year after the game first released. Gears 2 released the 9th of November last year. I think if they were porting it they would of said it a long time ago. Plus I think Epic said they weren't interested due to the piracy level of Gears 1 and also the reviews came out worse for the PC version.

As for the article, I'd love to play GTA 4 PC style, but my poor CPU would cry if I even tried.

L.M.L.Y.P @ Nov 10th 2009 9:03PM

i really wished they would port Fable 2. i loved the first one on PC
As for Gears 2... just play the first one again with a brown tint over your monitor, such a repetitive game, they couldnt possibly changed anything in the sequel

RKN @ Nov 10th 2009 11:03PM

Yeah, I do have a 360 which I gifted to my brother who gifted it to my dad, he's also a PC gamer.

I could get the two episodes for the 360 but I enjoy them on my powerful PC with 60fps, mouse aiming, mods, an awesome trainer, etc.

RKN @ Nov 10th 2009 6:47PM

Ability to edit comments really would be nice....
I'd like if the PC could get both episodes in the pack like the 360 did instead of digitally.

Also, I hear from hardocp.com that Modern Warfare 2 is $50 at Frys Electronics, going there to check it out. Probably sold out by now. ; )

RKN @ Nov 10th 2009 10:35PM

Scored MW2 for $50 at Fry's and Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box for $8.
They are selling all three versions of the game for $50 at least until tomorrow.

Suck it Kotick.

socialretard420 @ Nov 11th 2009 7:27AM

people still play gta?

zaglis @ Nov 11th 2009 9:53AM

So I have to install back the 13gb monster? Why just not release Episodes from Liberty city on the PC without GTA4
