GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony Review

[BIGBOY112000]

i really want that game but im only 14

[narigao433]

3:12 WHERE YOU GET THIS ?

[HipHopJun]

On club management, you get sent on tasks outside the club. Sure the first part walking around the club is boring, but if you keep doing it eventually Dessie sends you on an errand missions like hosing down Paparazzi with the fire truck.

[SWI0001]

I find club management quite fun thankyou very fucking much!

[19Wylds95]

@SWI0001 lol

[afroinness]

@SWI0001 i agree atleast its trying to do something different.

[SWI0001]

@afroinness agreed, and sometimes in games like Mafia II, I drive legally around the place, with TBOGT it's more fun with that supercharged Buffalo flooring the accelerator around the corners. because killin' people gets kinda boring. I make my own "jobs" on GTA...on Mafia though I use more imagination

[Frankieishot1]

Hey guys what's wrong with my gta 4 It didn't have trophies before and then I got episodes from liberty city and now it does but I cant get them I can only get trophies on episodes

[Omeglepranks1000]

i think the APC should have had a machine gun turret so friends can get in and shoot out of it but im happy with it

[kyepieskater]

I think the APC is perfect

[SWI0001]

@kyepieskater amen to that, it's GTA IV TBOGT. and to me it's got/needs realism and having a M1 abrahams crawling down star junction...it's ain't MW3.

so the APC is perfect

[Sepandf]

@1:17 nickoooooooooooooooooo ?

[SuperDominator45]

wut? the ACP is kick ass and it wuz kind of a good idea to put it in the game

[manbot2010]

The only IGN review I have a problem with, This is the best GTA game around.

[jaidonnn]

Reviewer wants a bigger turret? Must need it to compensate for something.......

[TheZammyboss]

does ure score on a mission affect anything?

[BornUptown47]

@TheZammyboss Yes on parachute and No dosent effect you

[TheZammyboss]

do u get parachute in this game?



[gloup81]

@TheZammyboss yes 

[niko40296]

on san andreas

[niko40296]

and i have some mods of gta 4

[niko40296]

i don't have TBoGT,but i Have GTA SAN ANDREAS GTA TBOGT MOD

[Games4LifeSWE]

1:06 Curved .....Swords :P

[SuperPeachStar]

I think the tank is really good

[mcryan07]

I still don't get the bad missions they are on about

[reachboy1]

I have the special editon ! but how do Iplay balled gay tony

[12312Zombie]

I got 100% in all gay Tony missions. It was not an easy job...

[JustaC00lGuy]

ha the one bad comment is lame tanks lol

[PINAPPLEVOODOO66]

Lost and Damned...better -cough, cough- better -cough- Gay Tony, sucks -cough, cough-

-.-

[001crazykiller]

they dont care that the game have some of the worst missions in the series, (and the missions in the gta series are really good, exsept from those) But they will lett the freaking tank take away almost one point to a brilliant game, i mean, ign can look throug the many bugs in games, but a tank is too big deal???

[SuperSonic285]

do i need to buy the original grand theft auto to be able to buy this expansion? i need help please guys. thanks in advance.

[gtaspeed96]

@SuperSonic285 no you dont need to buy gta 4 to be able to get this expansion,but I would recommend you to play gta 4 first.

[SuperSonic285]

@gtaspeed96 thats good news. thanks bud.

[ChillTrack]

IGN Reviewer, I thought he was the gay tony

[NJohnGA10]

rockstar should really add the new content of the expansion pack into the main game

[blamed06]

i bought a pre used one from Gamestop and put the game in waited......waiting...........­...waiting.......

[The12Jacob]

Do you need GTA 4 to play TBoGT or can u just download it?

[NinjaWee]

@The12Jacob u need GTA 4 but you can guy GTA 4: episodes from liberty city and it comes with all 3 GTA's for $30 i think maybe even $25

[f922v]

@NinjaWee

I bought the maingame plus the two expansion packs for only 15 bucks at sale for PC. :D

[NinjaWee]

@f922v nice

[RedHouseStrat]

@f922v You could have saved some money buying the GTA Complete pack on Steam. It was only 7€, so I guess that would make it 7$, or if they actually converted the price correctly it's under $10

[blamed06]

@The12Jacob No

[lightningmen1]

no sound

[albinosniper112]

why does every 1 hate there channel but watch there vids

[FPSToronto]

gta is a game you should play when ur in a bad mood

[TheFunnysamnoob333]

I wish that gta rockstar can make the game so we can do anything and make it super realistick. So we can destroy buildings and add jets and all kinds of tanks and everything. Fuck the fcc.

[Derp17000]

@TheFunnysamnoob333 One Word

Assholes Who think Violent videogames make People Crazy

BTW That Is Only One Word

[dakilla2126]

@TheFunnysamnoob333 lets hope that happens in gta V (:

[surfinghapunabeach]

@TheFunnysamnoob333 saints row 3?

[MW3CR]

@TheFunnysamnoob333 GTAV?

[xigsag]

FreddieW BF3 Commercial actually played here! :D

[overbyjames]

Are the cheats for all of the GTA IV games the same?

[ultimaterobloxian]

@overbyjames i dunno try it

[ChristianTheChamp]

@overbyjames Yes but they don't carry over from game to game. (example GTA 4 Cheats on your phone wont appear in TBOGT unless you enter them again.)

[overbyjames]

@ChristianTheChamp Thanks.

[leolionhunt]

@overbyjames yea

[YellowPain50]

I like the APC, and I like the game cause of the cool music. xD

[zZBlackHawk]

QUESTION:

Do you need GTA IV to play this game? I'm about to buy it, and I don't have the original GTA IV.

[YellowPain50]

@zZBlackHawk No. Just the disc

[zZBlackHawk]

@YellowPain50 Damn! I really wanted to play this! I'll just buy GTA IV...

[YellowPain50]

@zZBlackHawk You are saying what I said you DON'T NEED. You need the TBoGT Disc.

[ThomasTehPwner]

@zZBlackHawk Depends, what are you getting it for? PS3? XBox? PC?

[McCryo]

IGN Sucks!!!!!!!

[125ccRider]

Gay Tony only has 25 missons big let down cos i was just getting into it :(

[SuperFitzy100]

@125ccRider its cuz it an add on not a full game

[Elojedini95]

GTA IV and the Ballad of Gay Tony are the BEST !

[TheSuperMotoHooligan]

IGN Sucks! Gamespot rules!!!. Hahahaha...suckers!

[ChrisCa1601]

I have GTA IV: The Complete Edition but haven't touched the other 2 episodes yet. I may have to dust of my copy start playing it.

[NintendoNerd8]

why did they take out nearly a whole point for the tank being lame? i say they should have added points cuz at least rockstar put a tank in there, and i thought the apc was still pretty cool.

[RecreationalCarrot]

@NintendoNerd8 You know that wasn't their only complaint, right?

[NintendoNerd8]

@RecreationalCarrot well that was the only con they put at the end

[RecreationalCarrot]

@NintendoNerd8 that's because they only ever put 4 things in the pros and cons, if they had more space they would have put more.

[NintendoNerd8]

@RecreationalCarrot coulda replaced it with a pro

[richy4123]

@NintendoNerd8 it was lame in the mission have you played it? first of all pointless and too short

[NintendoNerd8]

@richy4123 i didnt find the mission lame, and its fun to just spawn the apc and shoot cars for the hell of it.

[bunghole211]

@NintendoNerd8 because IGN reviewers are retarded they criticized halo CE anniversary for being the same thing with a new layer of graphics

[andrebarthesk8]

0:01

[Sean19771o]

Tank is lame

I understand u make it make it good

[kingkeith10]

no you have to have it

[Strawweight]

@DubGaymer i was just going to download tbogt off psn and play it. Can i do that without gta4

[heyja9]

@Strawweight No, but why not get gta 4? Its great!

[fartingcow5]

@Strawweight no

[Strawweight]

Do you need gta 4 to be able to play the add ons?

[DubGaymer]

@Strawweight you can now buy the full pack, with gta 4, lost and damed and gay tony all in one game case. very cost effective

[fartingcow5]

@Strawweight chyea

[TheAwesomeGear]

FUCK OFF HALO ADS THAT GAME IS FUCKING SHIT FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gamecob]

are u stupis, its amazing and u took off 0.8 just for the tank,. jesus......

[IamStylezzz]

@Gamecob you spelt stupid wrong.

[Gamecob]

@IamStylezzz well sorry, i make typing mistakes, what due think i am, jesus, i type fast ans sometimes click the wrong button.

[IamStylezzz]

@Gamecob You Spelt and wrong xD

[drayton100]

I got this because psn store didint sell gta iv then I heard you could just download the add ons and play am happy now :)

[crazymiles]

@TheSkizsus

Call up Naughty Dog? Why? To learn how to make generic action games?

[TheSkizsus]

@crazymiles why are you hating on uncharted series. my point was that they seem to be one of the few developers that no how really use the ps3 hardware efficiently. you cant deny that there games look and perform better then most other  developers that make exclusive ps3 games.

[imCuriosuty]

@TheSkizsus its easier to create a game on the xbox and transfer it on to a ps3. which this does means they only use 3 of the ps3s 6 graphic cards which makes it look worse

[TheSkizsus]

@imCuriosuty The PS3 only has one GPU. I don't no where your getting your info from but you might wanna do some more research.

[imCuriosuty]

@TheSkizsus no.... why do exclusives on ps3 have better graphics than every xbox game? besides thats not my point its easier to make a game on the xbox and just transfer it to the ps3 blue ray disc.

[TheSkizsus]

@imCuriosuty The PS3 's GPU pass's off graphic processing to the CPU, (cell processor) to help render graphics. The CPU has one core and 6 usable virtual core's. The work from the GPU is passed off to 6 virtual cores to help with the extra load. The Xbox CPU has three cores and most games ported to the PS3 only use the ps3's one or two cores not all 7 which is why PS3 ports run like an look like crap compared to the Xbox versions.

[TheSkizsus]

@imCuriosuty And that being said, as much as PS3 fan boys don't want to be leave it all PS3 exclusives can be made on the xbox 360 as well. with a little tweaking and optimizing.

[waddledee1000]

The characters in these are douchebags.... Fucking hated Armando and H. Also fuck Evan.

[fagerbag]

it it just me or did the graphics improve greatly in gay tony

[MegaBoris1994]

lol@ everyone getting upset at ign because of the 'tank' ruining the score. theyre professional reviewers, there were obviously numerous factors that played into that. get real guys, theyre professionals.

[conkerreddead]

@MegaBoris1994 yea professional idiots i tell you what

[TheSkizsus]

@MegaBoris1994 Really they're professionals what makes them professional because there on YouTube. Its just there opinion. nothing makes their opinion better then mine or yours...

[FLAMINGBADGER99]

he did say some missions remember

[elitepspgamer]

IGN you are fucking DEAD BEATS!

[riceybfc2]

gta v !!!!!!!!!!

[bawssmaster]

What the fuck, IGN? 9.2 score because of the tank? Wow.....

[2fast4uspartan]

GTA 5 is coming soon, graphics are amazing. Going to get it for 360

[robis199]

@2fast4uspartan How do you know?  The game isn't out yet!!

[zerker12312]

is tony gay? reply pls.

[elitepspgamer]

@zerker12312 possibly, but that is no reason not to get the game, i advise you to get it i wil also be getting it in a few weeks time

[zerker12312]

@elitepspgamer ok.

[cloud154532]

@zerker12312 Maybe. My friend told me that he did research and found that he comes from a happy family. So he's either really gay, or the happy gay.

[Gamecob]

@zerker12312 yes... if you were listenning it says he owns a gay club and is dating a guy in the game..

[Zipsk8boarding]

omg i got a WoW ad with chuck norris in it! xD

[kstokman]

hands down my favorite game to date...dominican bias ;0

[littledude743]

Hated GTA IV itself but I really enjoyed this it brings back the fun in a GTA game

[francisjairam]

Guys if your wondering how to do the cheats in this game you have to use your phone and enter the phone number depending on what cheat it is. If you want to use the cheat again use your phone scroll down to the very bottom where it says "cheats" and then select any cheat you want to use. Its really simple.

[viruslived]

I dont see what the big deal is about the tank... although I suppose they have to find something wrong with the game. :) The APC is legit for urban / law enforcement type equipment. Police don't use M1 Abrams.

[RecreationalCarrot]

@viruslived I'm sorry, I didn't realise GTA was meant to be realistic...

[manishpratap151]

i would give this game a 10

[Xzibitfreek]

@manishpratap151 GTA IV itself got a 10

[161digvijay]

It is a cool game any one ha installation problem inform me on digvijayjadeja47@yahoo.in

[cikenbrand]

is it just me or the visual graphics has been improved?

[ieodksnw787]

@cikenbrand

I just got the game today, and started this Episode first. And yes, it looks much better than GTAIV w/ Nico. Both the cutscenes and gameplay - less framerate issues, less jaggies.

It looks awesome already, this Episode. Can't wait for GTA5!!!

[berzu21]

only thing this game is missing is Niko.

[francisjairam]

@berzu21 Niko is in this game also. Only you seem him in like 2 missions.

[berzu21]

@francisjairam i mean that u cant play as niko.

[xkavate1]

The game is fun but the multiplayer is shit! All anyone ever wants to do is get in the stupid helicopters and shoot each other out over, and over, and over again! I just hope in GTA V it won't be a total jet festival.

[Muliox82Gamer]

This game for my opinion, its like a piece of GTA V.. just sayin'

[fallout3fan1011]

@Muliox82Gamer I hope it is ........

[AFO6919]

ID RATHER PLAY AS JONNY KLEBITS WITH ALL THIS NEW SHIT

[MrRiffeno]

i have gta 4 but i dont have the ballad of gay tony. For me to buy it do i have to download it into my xbox 360 or can i buy the actual disk from toysrus or something?

[AKIDPRODUCTION09]

@MrRiffeno You can buy the CD for 30 bucks anywhere

[manbearpig413]

@MrRiffeno shit its like 15 on amazon dude for both this and lost and damned

[kbrunescape1999]

to skip ad 0:00

[Kenny3821]

The Ballad of Gay Tony had funner missions than GTA IV

[559cheeto]

haha they took points off cuz "tank is lame" haha

[JayTekken1]

I love the fact that luiz was already in the top class but still wore some shitty ass clothes when compared to niko, an immigrant, who was able to buy clothes from perseus. niko ftw.

[TheSleepyOpossum]

"Tank is lame"...? What the hell? THAT'S your main con? They throw a tank in, and you people say "Well, it's not a bigger tank. It's only a nearly invincible, explosive round shooting, car crushing death machine APC. We were hoping it would shoot even more powerful explosives, and blow up cars upon contact."

My main con would be that the cops get to use the upgraded weapons, meaning you get your ass kicked a lot easier due to chopper gunners with LMGs. Makes fighting cops less fun.

[iLG5000]

690,000 Viewer!

[Arocka1]

ALL BECAUSE OF THE TANK? fuck off ign

[RedEggsCereal]

@Arocka1 no, if you had actually listened to the review

you would know that he explains why he gave it the score

[YourComputerExpert]

@Arocka1 Why are you crying. (9.2)!!

[tsayad1986]

@Arocka1 Technically its not a tank but a Russian made reconnaisance vehicle ;)

[Pmccaff2009]

Ballad of Gay Tony is the best GTA Game to be released in the past 7 Years.

[fan977]

@Pmccaff2009 San Andreas and Vice City are still better.

[flareon1576]

@fan977 i hate vice city i love san andreas and im glad gta VII will be there but i do love gta IV

[Goofballhero]

@flareon1576 Erm, you mean GTA V right?...

[flareon1576]

@Goofballhero ^_^'

[Goofballhero]

@flareon1576 Right?!? RIGHT?!?!?!?

[flareon1576]

@Goofballhero yeh

[Speekies]

Well i guess this was a very good rating and review.

BUT, I think gta 4 TBoGT deserved a little bit more like a 9.5.

[Acemadura08]

@Speekies they only go by increments of .5 so its either 9.5 or 10

[ThePuffyCheese]

I just ha.ve to say has anyone ever seen a tank blowing shit up in New york? No?

So why does anyone want an m1a1 abrams blowing shit up on 3 islands?

[XxTaaDIVINExX]

@ThePuffyCheese - because it's Grand Theft Auto?

[Lava2007Gaming]

Can you actually collect money like in san andreas where it had the little dollar sign? Can you customize cars or select/import a car from one the delearships?

[72hilde]

i cant enable it in my xbox 360 what to do

[zipiol]

'walking around like an idiot... ' xD

[NoScopeIntended]

@TheGoldenMachineGun to right brother to right

[mitchboys]

WHY THE FUCK THERE'S NO CHEAT WHEN THERE'S NO POLICE COMING AT YA?????? IT SUCKS

1 GUNSHOT AND POLICE IS BEHIND YOU FUCK THIS GAME

[eamosdabest]

@mitchboys pretty sure there is a cheat? :L

[mitchboys]

@eamosdabest no there isn't for real

[eamosdabest]

@mitchboys alri.....

[ExtremeTG]

if there werent any tank then this game would be 10

[imortal2demon1]

leo123111 No, he's straight, OF COURSE HE'S GAY.

[leo123111]

is gay tony really gay

[serbia3395]

@leo123111 You play a Luis(who is straight). Luis's boss is Gay Tony the guy at 0:26
