"Rockstar loves to court controversy, and is turning out to be surprisingly progressive with their games’ recent subject matter."
We obviously didn't play the same game, since I remember Bernie being - along with every other character in GTA's overrated, so-called "Oscar-worthy" TV-drama storyline - a shameless, one-dimensional stereotype.
Well, if rockstar likes to create controversy, this is definitely one way to do it. The hard core gaming community has never been known for tolerance towards homosexuals, on the contrary, they bash them and use the words "gay" and "fag" as insults, to name some of them. I wonder how well this will sell, and how the gaymer community will react to it. I'm sure there will be some recognition from a group or two, only time will tell.
As a gaymer, I can only shrug until the real deal comes out, and I really hope this'll be released for ps3 (already have been hearing rumours about the lost and the damned being released in the near future for ps3).
is there any word yet on whether rockstar wants to release these on ps3? cause GTA IV is one of my all time favorite games and i dont want to buy an xbox simply to play lost and damned and this instalment.
I figured Luis would be the main guy in DLC pack 2. I was still a little skeptical since Luis wasn't in GTA IV as much as Johnny, or at least not as big of a role. This is a very nice summary Luis' cameos. The only one I didn't know was the internet news story in the Lost and Damned. If I could rate your articles, I'd give it a 5/5.
I really like the story and how each game has to do with GTA IV as a whole. But what I don't like is when I'm playing a game called "The Ballad of Gay Tony"!!! I mean come on!!! You could of called it something else than that! I can just imagine the conversation with my friends: "Hey guys, guess what game I just got?" "I don't know." "Grand Theft Auto 4... The Ballad of Gay Tony! I can't wait to finish it!" "...What's the game about? Some guy finding some other guy and having butt sex?" "Uh... no... it's-" "Wow, I'm not hanging around you anymore, you gay faggot"
Holy Damn!!! It's weird that I had never noticed it while playing through the game, and I did that a hell of a lot, but it all makes sense. Rockstar is freakin' amazing!!!!!
You guys really looked deep in the GTA IV storyline, but know that I think about it, the whole, diamond is the main point of all three stories totally makes sense. You've earned yourselves a gold star.
I argee completely. I don't know what my friends'll think about me if they saw me with this game. Hell, I'd feel very uncomfortable buying the thing. I don't know what my parents would say if I wanted this game. I don't want them thinking something's wrong with me or something. For example: My parents and I in WalMart. Parents: ''What do you want for your birthday?'' Me: ''A videogame.'' Parents: ''What kind?'' Me: ''Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony.'' Parents: ''Are you sure?'' Me: ''Yeah.'' Parents: (Worried look on their face.) Seriously, they should've had another name for that.
great article. so u guys can predict the future right? man u must be rich what with all the bets u would win. unfortunately i only have ps3 so i cant get this. does anybody know whether the dlc's will ever come out on ps3?
