This will surely prick the ears of gay activists.
Rockstar Games announced today it will publish DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV, dubbed The Ballad of Gay Tony, and a full-standalone retail disc named Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, this fall for Xbox 360.
Following The first exclusive DLC for Xbox 360, The Lost And the Damned, Rockstar will release this fall the second exclusive chapter which stars Luis Lopez, a part-time thug and full-time assistant to nightclub impresario Tony Prince (Gay Tony). In the world of gay theater and tension-filled scenarios which will test Luis’s loyalties, players will experience the new chapter–”an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime”, according to Rockstar. The Ballad of Gay Tony will hit XBLA exclusively this fall, will cost $19.99 (1600 MS points), and requires players to own GTA IV.
Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, the retail disc, gives gamers who have a silver membership or who lack online capabilities the chance to buy both DLC episodes in one shot. As an added bonus, both games don’t require GTAIV to play. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City contains The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned, will cost $39.99, and ships this fall.
Seems pretty basic to me. Like most folks who have Xbox 360, you already have a Gold Membership and play online like a looney Bandicoot screaming for mom’s milk while blasting goons in Halo 3. So, yeah, you’re going to buy The Ballad of Gay Tony and like it, even though it says the word gay in it. Just clear room on your hard drive!
I admit I haven’t even touched The Lost and the Damned even though I have downloaded it. It’s just one more game in the stack (or digital stack) that I want to play but don’t have time to! I have yet to meet anyone who didn’t actually like The Lost and the Damned. Everyone pretty much just oozed all over it.
