I own a 360 and love it but I will admit that I think the GTA IV DLC is going to flop, not many people play this game much anymore.. I mean dont get me wrong ofcourse a lot of pepole still play it but its not one of those games like Halo 3, Gears or COD 4 where when I turn on my 360 i see people playing all the time. Infact I have about 60 people on my friend's list and I hardly ever see anyone play GTA IV anymore. I personally hated the game and ebayed it 4 days after it came out. It was boring as hell and the multiplayer felt very unbalanced. It definitley doesnt have the staying power Gears,Halo or COD has.. And not only that but with Gears 2 coming out around the same time of GTA IV, people will have long forgotten about GTA IV because of Gears 2.. I see MS losing money but hey, 50 million to them is loose change in bill gates couch.
GTA IV DLC Will FLOP Big time! (sales wise I mean)
The reason it will flop is because GTA IV was a hype machine, and many people now know the game does not deserve the reputation of a great game. Not to me, anyway, and a lot of my friends think the same thing. DLC will not draw me back, I got 100% before May 19th, mail me my golden key and I will be off!
"Opinions don't transfer to sales flops. I don't think Gears 2 is causing people not to download the exclusive DLC. People will always have time for both.I own a 360 and love it but I will admit that I think the GTA IV DLC is going to flop, not many people play this game much anymore..

I think if theres new content, people will be like
"Oh yeah, the game was fun, and you can kill random people"
And download it. I doubt it will flop. GTA may not have the highest calibur online, but its still an awesome experience. More of an awesome thing = win
I highly doubt it, plus you have to think a lot of 360 gamers are teens that dont have jobs yet so its going to be hard to convince parents to shell out $20.00 for DLC especially if that gamer has to choose between Gears or GTA IV DLC. I honestly think Gears 2 is easily going to overshadow this, everyone on my friend's list has GTA IV and I NEVER see anyone playing
"I guess most people have indeed moved on since its release."
Exactly dude! The said thing is Gears is almost 2 years old and i see tons more people on my friends list playing that over GTA and if its not Gears its either Halo or COD 4
You could be right, I'm not sure I will going back to Liberty CIty any time soon to be honest. GTA IV got repetitive for me so I'm not anxious to get back to the streets.
ReTarDedFisHy believes that people have moved on because they've already played it, and didn't think it was that great. But he also thinks that DLC will bring people back to play it anyway. Sure, the DLC won't do that great, but it will encourage players to pick it up again, and it certainly won't flop.
I'll skip the witty saying.
Game board.
If it's a continuation of some sort to Niko's story and not just more drive-by/car chase missions I'd be interested.
it doesn't matter if it flops, if it does, then EA will buyout take-two, and who cares if it flops, its not like they are going to pull it off of xbla, we're going to get it and that is all that matters.
"I think that its taking to long to come out"
Wow, I guess you enjoy crappy rushed project eh?
I always thought it was a stupid idea. A HUGE games with loads of content, and you add MORE content, almost half a year later?
Pointless to me..
although i see where your coming from, i totally disagree with you, 10 million xbox 360 units, i estimate atleast half will buy the dlc. EVEN though so many games are coming out, from what it seems like the dlc is pretty much gonna be a new story mode and i would take that anyday.
