Yup, Gaming News forum... last place you'd look for gaming news.

Anyway looking forward to this. Haven't touched the single player since 100%, so be good to have a reason to play GTA again.

Not everyone has our level of common sense though Stewart.

My bad, I did search and nothing came up but cant remember what I searched, and obviously missed the article too

[Stewart]

Anyway, are you pleased or not that the character you play as is not Bellic?

Personally I'm not that bothered that you play as someone else, but it could have been someone cool and interesting like a mafia hitman or Boss... some biker... meh.

I've never been one for leather jackets and grease, and those bikes the ride are the least fun ones to drive in the game.

[tigerboyce]

Not bothered that it isn't Nico at all, in fact I think its probably better that your not him.

I agree it would be interesting to play someone other than a biker, but I still don't think it will be un-interesting or whatever at all. As long as there's plenty of cruising round in biker gangs I'll be happy. I always love it in GTA games when your randomly riding around on a bike and luckily a group of 2 or 3 bikes appear on the road near you and you get a few short moments to pretend you have formed a small biker gang

As soon as i saw the shots it reminded me of the mission near the beginning of the game where you have to follow a biker who is dating Faustin's daughter. Quite a small and un-interesting mission, but its sort of similar to what i imagine this pack to be like, only from their perspective.

Not sure which bike your referring too as there are two different ones shown, but for me the zombie's are one of the most fun bikes in the game! But if you were talking about the Hellfury, then yes i have to agree, they are slow, clumsy and generally un-interesting.

I'm just hoping that the way Rockstar decide to 'set' they way you play the new story shows liberty city in a new/different way to nico.


Either way this is only the First DLC pack to come, there will be one more following this...

I could live with a Sons of Anarchy style storyline in GTA 4, it could work pretty well imo. Just gotta hope the pricing is reasonable.

[Stewart]

One thing - BETTA COME WITH NEW ACHIEVEMENTS!

[samcross]

Anyone else hoping for new weapons/vehicles etc.
Would love to see a return of the minigun

I wanna cruise the mean streets of Liberty City on a Segway.
