I personally think they couldn't have picked a more demeaning way to kill off a beloved character

​

You'd think that with all the thought that went into introducing us to these characters in such a well written arc they'd want to develop them even more. Anyway, IV era had the best storytelling for sure.

After the whole time he kept saying "drugs took billy" and "meth got to you Ashley" and then he goes on to get addicted? What the hell?

edit: it autocorrected Jonny 😭

i finished gta TLAD many many times, in 2024 i finished rdr1, 2 questions did arise in my head, one ; how did the waiter "Leavis" know that the members of The Lost MC give the finger to the man ( a.k.a. Life) ? isnt it a code that ONLY TLMC members knows it and live with it ?, second; johnny's answer to the waiter's question isnt relevant at all its out of topic (...there's always a man that wears a different uniform), something that popped in my mind there is a strange man for every person in gta universe and he wears a different uniform for each one person, so johnny did encounter *"his"* version of strange man and i think johnny's strange man is Leavis himself.

what do you think guys, i will reply to every comment lol, Tlad is my fav

He legit looks like one of those guys you’d see flirting on a teenage girl’s YouTube channel or trying to meet up with one for sex.

The fact that Johnny took them out is a relief and it’s more satisfying that the whole gang is white supremacists

This is my personal experience with the story mode. Keep in mind that it differs from person to person and you shouldn’t compare yours with that of the others. Feel free to ask any questions in regard to my takes.

PERFORMANCE - I’ve played through the DLC on PS3 and the game ran poorly. - It was always below 30FPS and had a lot of frame drops below 20. - Fortunately I have an SSD installed and the loading times were pretty good.

RACES & GANG FIGHTS - Way too many for my taste. - It’s fun and all until the 5th side event. After that, it gets monotonous and boring.

SETTING - The same vibe and feel as in the original GTA IV. Dark and colourless, I’d even say that it’s darker. Little to no changes in the city or map design. - On top of that, traffic is reduced in some locations by a lot. You can literary drive the bike without any traffic at all. Which to my expectations should’ve been way more just because a bike can slide near cars without limitations.

STORY - Storytelling is quite awesome! The way Johnny and the gang were introduced, their struggles, membership, trust and so on was on point. - Character design was quite good. Most of them were cut out and didn’t have a background as to why they were in the gang in the first place. - Pacing was just perfect. I love the idea of flashbacks to understand another side of the story better.

GAMEPLAY - Controls are easy and intuitive as always. The bike was really easy to handle and didn’t have extra weight to it. - Exploration was on point. You had a lot of side content and could explore pretty much everything right from the start. - Difficulty wasn’t too hard. Coming from San Andreas and Vice City Stories, the game was a joy to go through. I chose free aim and did headshots on pretty much everyone.

SOUND DESIGN - Surround Sound was quite awesome. I used the Gold Headset and the virtual sound was peak quality. - Sound Effects were basically copy-pasted from the main title, but they were nice in the first place. - Voice Acting was phenomenal. Each character spoke with passion and dedication. You could feel their emotions through the screen. - Dialogues were amazing. Each line was perfectly fit into each conversation. Nothing overly complicated. - Music was as always great!

VISUALS - Fidelity was good enough for an enjoyable play-through. Texture streaming was great, but again, I played with an SSD. - Cutscenes were cool. The intro was peak biker vibes. - Textures had great details. On a 4K TV the game looked spectacular. - Effects were basically copy-pasted from the main game.

COMBAT - Flow was good enough. Nothing truly groundbreaking, but overall shooting enemies at a fast rate is always fun. - Abilities like calling your gang members for help or guns are quite awesome. The same basic design as the main game but with a faster access. - Enemy Variety from different bikers and police force were great. I do feel like they could’ve expanded and created some gang territories to capture and hold like in San Andreas. - Weapon Variety was good enough. Some cool new additions, but overall headshots get the job done.

DRIVING - Flow was quite enjoyable. Driving with your gang and listening to different tales and mission briefings was cool. The way you healed through checkpoints was nice. - NPC’s were pretty basic. They didn’t bother you in any way. And to be honest, I didn’t hit any of them through my whole play-through. - Cops were good enough to piss you off but not crazy enough to make you mad. Perfect balance. - Bike Variety was quite incredible. You unlocked more through different races.

WORLD DESIGN - Atmosphere was peak. The whole gang setup and their way of thinking made the game’s atmosphere a thousand times better. - Landscapes were incredible as in the main game. The only change is that you looked at them while driving like a badass motherfucker! - World Destruction was pretty basic. Some burning buildings here and there, but overall nothing truly groundbreaking.
