Should I get The Lost and Damned?

[Nebenator]

I want The Lost and Damned, but I can't decide whether to wait for:



Some sort of "buy one DLC the second is 50% off" deal with The Ballad of Gay Tony



It becomes the Deal of the Week later



Or just buy it now


I don't have much to play, but about 5000 Microsoft points on my XBL account

Should I wait for a deal, or bite now?

Get the "Stories from Liberty City" disc an you can play both in one go, without requiring GTA4.

[ohboy10451]

if you enjoyed GTA IV, I would say Lost & Damned is superior in most ways

[Nebenator]

I did enjoy it, in fact, it's probably one of my favorite games to date.

Is there a release date announced for this?

This will almost definitely become some type of GOTY type package with the game and all the DLC but it might take a while. You might be able to get lucky with a combo deal for both though, that is what I'm most likely going to do unless I can finally find my last 2 pigeons in which case I'll be eager to finish up all of the achievements.

edit: I should read the thread before posting, I guess I'll definitely be picking that up in late Oct. then, crap more stuff to pre-order.

[Nebenator]

Hmmm... So far 2 for the first and second options in the poll (each)
I don't really have much else to play, though.

[Magehart]

Then buy it and have fun!

I'm holding out to get a combo pack with Gay Tony but the tempt is getting stronger every day.

"I'm holding out to get a combo pack with Gay Tony but the tempt is getting stronger every day."

That's makes two of us. I'll probably decide today or tomorrow.

[AceSXE]

wait

Thanks. That's what I'll be getting so it will at least have some value after I'm done with it.

Lost and the Damned was a heck of a game. I can't wait for Ballad of Gay Tony. I don't know man, it's almost a full three months till that comes out..I'd buy Lost and the Damned now and enjoy it!

[JDMxB]

Honestly, I enjoyed The Lost and the Damned a whole lot more than the original GTA4.

[Nebenator]

Ok, I'll TLAD after I beat See the Future.

[Ace!]

get it now

[benjamouth]

Wait for a deal, this is CAG dammit !!

[Galego23]

um... if you waited this long no reason why you can't wait another month when both games come out.

[wakawakawa]

If you have free time now, get it now.

[Nebenator]

cmart05 makes a good point, but I do need games and I have a little free time.

[Matt Young]

If you don't have much to play and do have all those points, I say go for it unless you are interested in one or more of the other arcade games coming out or that have just come out recently.

[Nebenator]

That settles it, I'm buying TLAD. Here were the results at the time of this post:

That is why I voted for waiting!

[Magus8472]

In a surprising turn, impatience doesn't pay off.

[Essence07]

It will be the deal of the week this month. Check out the article on Joystiq.

[nnthomas]

Or you could again, wait for the Liberty City Stories retail disc and play both at once.

edit: Your own poll even suggested it and you went against it. :lol:

[Galego23]

Lol

[orbit18]

Damn!!! I just bought this last week, is there anyway I can get a refund of those points?!! This sucks! :( The content was good though.

[neocisco]

Another vote for physical copies over DLC. You can't get a price guarantee on DLC.

[Nebenator]

Oh well, thanks everyone!

Cool. Kotaku mistakenly reported that it was 1200 points this week.

I have the points, but I may wait for the physical disc to release with both episodes and get it from Goozex. Then again, I may not be able to hold back and I'll just get it on 8/24.

[CrimsonPaw]

Now for a deal on points. This is on my list but I was going to wait for "Tales" and hope to find it used, but I might bite come the 24th. Would love to find a deal on XBLA points, wish I would have jumped on the Target deal a few weeks back :(
