All Killer, No Filler?

A thought occured to me just now:
The 3rd Person GTAs have traditionally always started slow and worked their way up to the flashier/harder missions (beginning with simple driving missions, then ones involving melee weapons, then pistols etc), due to the fact that any GTA could be someone's first game in the series. The Lost And The Damned however is different. It's something that's bolted onto the main game and is coming almost a year after the original release, so the vast majority of the players will be experienced in GTAIV already. So do you think Rockstar will have bore this in mind and made the game's challenge level worthy of that from the beginning?

R* have said they won't put any tutorials what so ever in the downloadable content because people would have already played the tutorials in of GTA IV.

It'll be like LCS and VCS, by the fourth mission in LCS you were already fighting 3-Star Police off and as for VCS, well anyone who's played that will know what I mean when I just mention Phil Cassidy (Second Mission Boss).

Considering GTA IV was the first GTA I completed without the use of cheats, I hope its even more difficult than GTA IV.

i think that gametrailers TV thing with the guy from rockstar mentioned that they'd be gettin right into the action from the start, all islands open and what not, so I'm sure that the first few missions won't be as simple as the first few of the original game

They still might ease you into it a little bit but I doubt they'll start you off with a simple drive here and you're done mission.

Remember the 5g achievement, I suspect this is for the first mission, picking Billy Up from prison, which seems basic. I imagine it's a chance to introduce players to the characters.

yea i'm sure the first mission won't be all balls to the walls crazy action OMFG but i'm sure we'll get right into the juicy stuff
