Community:GTA IV Gripes/GTA IV Episodes Gripes

This is the official Grand Theft Wiki GTA IV Gripes list.

For now, this page is open to everybody. If there is any abuse of this page it will be locked, and all submissions will have to go through the Discussion page.

The "Gripes" on this page are intended to warn new players of things they may not like about the game.

The "Rebuts" on this page are intended to explain to new players why some gripes may not be a "gripe" for all players.

Please do not repeat other people's gripes. Also, no silly/stupid/idiotic/explicit/racist gripes or rebuttals.

How To Gripe

Find the appropriate sub-page for your gripe.
Make sure your gripe hasn't already been mentioned.
Start a gripe with {{Gripe}}, then follow with your gripe.

How To Rebut Gripes

Rebuttals to gripes should be directly underneath the gripe.
Start your rebuttal with :{{Rebut}}, then follow with your rebuttal.
Rebuttals should address reasons it is not a valid gripe, and should not accuse the gripe of being "silly" or "stupid."

Not for PS3. Massive fail. I don't understand why Rockstar won't release for the PS3. It would only make them more money. And don't give me that "MS paid 50 mil for it" They could just wait for the 6 month contract to exprire on TBOGT and release a EOLC for PS3. --Black Artist 05:26, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

And who ever said except for speculation that there actually WAS a "six month contract". Don't get me wrong, I own a PS3 and I want PS3 DLC just as bad, and I do think that we'll get it some day, just not for a while (they need to give some time Xbox 360 sales of the fairly newly released TBOGT).

I think Rockstar made a contract with Microsoft, you know, exclusivity of the Episodes. But in my opinion, I think we'll see either a PC or a PS3 version of this. Dunno if this is just rumors, but I think their contract will expire next year.

{{Rebut)) Remember that Windows is also a Microsoft product, so I can pretty much confirm that the DLC will make it's way to PC, but once again, almost everyone has a PC, Microsoft wants people to buy 360s to get the DLC, so there is still a while before any port. Biggest GTA Fan Ever^Talk

{{Rebut)) I have an Xbox 360, and I will not lie, the DLCs were not really that good. On TLAD and TBOGT, the story modes were too short. The TLAD story mode could be finished in hours, and the TBOGT story would take a day or 2 at most. TBOGT has only Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, and racing, no other online game modes, and TLAD's multiplayer was rather boring. Trust me, you'd be better off getting another game than waiting for DLCs.

I'm not waiting for the DLC like it's a really important game. I am playing other games right now, I just hope to get the DLC some day so I can see the interlinking storylines. BTW, for an explaination of my username (if that's the reason you think I'm waiting), see my userpage. Biggest GTA Fan Ever^Talk 08:14, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

You cant access the police Database (not the one in the Internet, the one in the police computers), neither do Most Wanted missions, in TBoGT or TLAD.

i think R* should have considered somehow making the weapons & vehicles from the DLC packs available in the maingame, much like Halo 3 does with maps and such (if its a similar thesis to these)

Somehow? That would be easy to do. They chose not to do it, and their explaination is that the features, etc. were designed with each protagonist in mind, which makes sense for some things (like all the bikes in TLAD), but not some others (like the Towtrucks in TBOGT). Biggest GTA Fan Ever^Talk

yeah i figured that was the reason, but i could see Niko Bellic firing an automatic shotgun and driving a bullet GT.

Yeah, I mean, with some of the features, I agree with Rockstar, I can't imagine Niko playing golf for example. But as for vehicles and weapons, It doesn't make sense that three people (the three protagonists) are in the same city at the same time, who actually do interact with each other (It's not just they they don't meet so they never see the cars, eg, why doesn't Johnny ride one of his custom bikes in the main game?), but one of them (Niko) can't access all the same cars and guns as the others, and another (Johnny) can access more than Niko but not the same ones as Luis.
