Oh well looks like something new's coming up for the 360..... AND AGAIN ONLY FOR 360........ I am very disappointed from sony, because it looks like they don't give a crap about their customers. Microsoft Paid for 2 Add ons and Sony paid for freaking None. I am so pissed i had to write this thread. And if Sony continues like that, and continues making freaking unneeded software updates every week, which take ages to download, i swear my next console will be from Microsoft, even though it may be crappier. PS3 owners feel let down, if you know what i mean. Either they do something or they will lose a good amount of customers.
End your suffering and a buy brand new Xbox 360 Elite!
Free yourself from your binds; PURCHASE GTA IV DLC, EXCLUSIVE TO XBOX 360.

if you buy an elite right now you get halo 3 and fable 2 for free
so get on it
That's an amazing deal, considering Halo 3 is a GREAT GAME.

Stay on topic, guys.
Not sure which guys you're talking about. We're giving him a legitimate suggestion. :)
I don't think Sony will answer his prayers on this one.

Also why the hate now, its been long known that two episode will be 360 exclusives, how come when the second one has been revealed it's all "OH STILL NOT FOR PS3 EH?"
Pfft, GTA IV was shit, The expansions suck balls like the game does and if you bought an Xbox you wouldn't be able to play GTA anyway because it would be at MS for repairs 90% of the time.
Problem solved.

I hate this fad that Microsoft is doing right now with making DLC exclusive to Xbox 360. It sucks ass. I remember buying Fallout 3 and then going online the same night and finding out that its DLC will be exclusive and I was pissed at Microsoft, then they did it with GTA IV and I was raging. If next they do it with a game that I really like, I am gonna go ape-shit. Its really starting to piss me off.

Fry's right... My Xbox 360s (both of them) crapped out, and now I'm done with that system... Just hope someday Rockstar will put this content on the PlayStation 3 as well. The Xbox 360 really isn't worth the trouble you'll endure over time.
Hell, one Xbox 360 exploded and the shrapnel got stuck in my friend's leg!

Holy shit Ziddy, an exploding Xbox.
I had a harddrive corruption on my PS3, don't know what caused it, but I just shipped it to Sony, and got it 2 weeks after.

I notice this all the time, the exclusivity of these DLCs as well as the Fallout 3 ones were announced before the release of the games, so when they finally come out and people are bitching like it JUST happened bothers me.
Yes you can be upset about it but don't pretend like its not old news.
But atleast FO3 is getting the DLCs ported to PS3, just saw they have the first 2 out in disc form for 360 and PC already.
I hate this fad that Microsoft is doing right now with making DLC exclusive to Xbox 360.
It's not a fad they've been doing right now, Rockstar announced their exclusivity to Microsoft Xbox 360 a long time ago and Microsoft have a $50 million dollar deal with them.

I think the reason is that R* actually needed that money, as opposed to wanting it from a profit standoff.
Microsoft payed, Sony declined and didn't pay a dime. Your result is exclusive content for 360 that may or may not come to PS3 in a later future. That's the way it is, nothing you can do about it.

No, R* didn't need the money..
Microsoft needed the sales.

Yeah, Microsoft did it for the sales, but wasn't R*'s piggybank empty after the Hot Coffee shit?
Patrucci
05-27-2009, 05:00 PM
Probably not, that was a few years ago.
Don't know, did Microsoft pay before GTAIV was released or after?
If after, i don't know if they would have needed the money. Because i imagine the amount of sales for the video game and other merchandise would have raked in a shitload of money. Most likely they paid to cement their deal and secure a good future for content on their console. It boost the sale of their console slightly but it probably doesn't work well with part of the gaming community.

You do know Take2 were in financial trouble before GTA IV? And the GTA department only made back soo much from the Stories games, they still had a big hole left from the Hot Coffee damages.
Patrucci
05-27-2009, 05:19 PM
Oh yeah, because didn't R* grant a however amount of money to people.
I forget the situation, but it was something along those lines?

05-27-2009, 05:21 PM
If I remember, a little hazy, it was $35 or a new copy of the game.

Not sure what's up with all the anti 360 talk. I'd take a constantly breaking console over my dust collector of a PS3 any day. Seems like Fry's butthurt is showing far too much.

Same situation dude.
People have their own opinions, it's life.
That's totally not a fanboy response :P I don't see how it's a fanboy response, i have a 360 and it's broken. Maybe it's a disguntled owners response but that's completely justified.
Also GTAIV did suck and so did the DLC and that's just my opinion, The DLC was much like the game meaning when you finish the story you realise there is nothing else to do. I expect this to be no different.
Fry you have a 360, no? Yes i have a 360 but it's doing absolutely stuff all at the moment considering it broke for the 4th time a few weeks back and i'm not paying to get it fixed untill i can get some assurances it wont die in 6-12 months time and i'll have to get it fixed again. I don't like the thought of paying $150 every 6 months to fix a problem caused by MS's shitty hardware.

You must not own one considering for the last 2 years it's had the better exclusives of the two platforms.......
But i guess the console will have time to collect dust considering it wont be sent off to Sony for repairs every 6 months....

Fair enough, then why even come to this section if you hate the game and DLC soo much? Seems like you're here to troll and shout off about how much the 360 sucks.

Well i used to have the original Xbox.....Ohh boy. The God Damn Piece of S*** died on me 3 times in 4 days. Kept on showing some ''E71'' Error and i kept restarting it and restarting in the middle of the game. Dunno how the 360 is, but i wouldn't buy except for the DLC's. I am just afraid. it doesn't feel like a solid console. And 2 days ago my little sister spilled coca cola in my PS3 i sent it to a repair shop i got it today and it works, perfectly. I don't think Xbox was going to survive, except to chill its, overheating hardware. I am not acting fanboy, but i may be forced to buy a 360 and then i wil write a thread, on how i go with it.
Fair enough, then why even come to this section if you hate the game and DLC soo much? Seems like you're here to troll and shout off about how much the 360 sucks. Because i was reading about the new DLC to see if anything interesting has been announced that would increase GTA's lifespan (new island, minigames). That would possibly make me fix my 360, then i seen this thread and i though t i'd let this guy know he isn't missing out on much at all with the DLC. When it comes to the 360 bashing, I may have spouted off abit but thats the disgruntled nature of a man who's had to send a console in for repairs 3 times and now needs to do it a fourth time.
.....if you bought an Xbox you wouldn't be able to play GTA anyway because it would be at MS for repairs 90% of the time.
Was it that much of an insult or more of a tounge in cheek joke from someone who has had major issues with their 360? I guess thats in the eye's of the beholder.
Anyway i just don't understand all this fanboy crap that gets thrown around here, i own a 360, i bought mine at midnight on launch (before most of the 360 owners here), i bought a HDTV to go along with it and spent over $500 on launch night just on games. Does that sound like a PS3 fanboy? I doubt a PS3 fanboy would be in a line at midnight waiting for a 360, not to mention he wouldn't be spending thousands of dollars on games and accesories over the years.
I think the whole fanboy thing comes from peoples own issues with the opposition console and the fact that they take any attack on the competitors console personally. Which is more of a fanboy act (by there own definition) then some who owns all consoles but has issues with a console that has cost him thousands of dollars and yet it doesn't even live for more then 6 months at a time.
Sorry to any 360 owners i offended but seriously i'm not talking about your mum so don't take it personally.

I think American and Australia got worse consoles than Europe, I'm curious about you Fry because you sound like you never play on the 360, yet the thing still managed to break multiple times. I guess Germany just make sure they do a good job with Repairs.
As for your view on GTA IV and it's DLC, that's a personal matter, me, I liked IV even though the start is utter boring and I loved The Lost and Damned, especially with the unlimited Gang Wars and Road Rash Races that you can do. Also I see that quite a bit, how would more land make the game better? You'd be doing the same old shit and I doubt most people who say that have even fully explored Liberty City.

I played 360 as much as i play my PS3, when my 360 was alive, maybe even moreso. But i tend to play my online games on the PS3 because i dont like paying for Live when it underperforms (sever wise) in comparrison to the PSN. Also (IMO) the PS3 has had the better exclusives since mid '08 which has meant i have spent more time on it. Not to mention playing my 360 for hours on end makes me nervous due to obvious reasons, But games like Gears, Bioshock, ME and even Halo Wars i played for hours on end.
Regarding the repairs, i'm not sure about our service center. I oviously can't make a comparrison to other ones in other countries but i know the problem lies with the chip design. I guess some people are luckier then other and i'm one of the unlucky ones in that regard, but it's obviously not an issue with US ans Aus service centers.
Regarding my view on GTAIV ofcourse it's opinion based i think that goes without saying but my opinion is that the game had a good story but hardly anything to continue on with afterwards. TLATD continued that fashion, while it introduced some nice new minigames it was nothing that brang me back time and time again. Also i said more land and minigames because more land would obviously be interesting to explore for a cetain amount of time (even moreso then minigames imo) but the addition of minigames to that aswell would mean double the lifespan of the DLC. Meaning instead of just playing the new minigames and getting bored with them i could also explore much more of Liberty City, which was one of the perks in GTA SA.

So what's just stopping you from playing San Andreas and never have to deal with shitty IV ever again?
Also, can you find me this (http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/french-man-eating-a-ps2/229371#comments_top) commercial but with sound, YouTube and Google are super shitty now with these things.
Ohh i have played San Andreas for hundreds and hundreds of hours, but after playing the story like 30 times and completeing the game 100% numerous times it gets a little stale. But that just goes to show how different the two games are, i would never be able to spend that much time on GTA IV.

It's Sony's fault. Why is everyone blaming MS? I remember reading about Rockstar approaching Sony first to keep the GTA series exlucisve to PS3, and Sony declined.
worst decision on sony's behalf
This is simple. If Microsoft did not pay for the development of The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony then they would not exist.
When making plans for GTA IV, Rockstar would have been extremely weary of risk and entering a market in which they previously had no experience, primarily because the company was on the rocks at the time and it really needed some income. Microsoft gave them lots of money and so they were able to create these two extra games.
If you want to play the two expansions buy an Xbox 360. You will be getting a great console and will be able to play the game with what I believe to be a far superior control pad. Finally you can actually aim without the stick slipping out of your fingers! There's that and the large number of good, exclusive games.
Please don't think that because there are expansions the company is not working on a new game.

I don't like this whole expansion system that's being used so much nowadays. Just like the expansions for Midnight Club.
Sure it's fun to buy a new section to the map or a new storyline, but put it in another perspective and companies are basically releasing half finished games for retail price. Basically, a finished game costs about twice the amount it used to.

You could also say with these consoles, a finished game cost twice as much to make! I know what you mean though, Rockstar are one of few companies who do DLC right, others out there who sell unlock keys for content already on discs are just a disgrace.
