I spent almost the narrative’s entirety in a sports or performance car, vehicles which amplify the game’s overall enjoyability and more exhilarating attributes. Rockstar uses the pair as tools, illustrating the rift between high society and low society, and how some persons – like Luis Lopez – do not let affluence distort their principles.
Wisely realizing that as stakes escalate players must have tools to counter that escalation, they throw all of these new objects at the player – and at a swift rate. For The Ballad of Gay Tony does not represent something entirely new, does not represent some grand experiment or innovation, but instead represents a return to roots.
In the base game and in The Lost and Damned, the player is not helpless in vehicles, capable of shooting handguns and submachine guns, or dropping grenades or, in Johnny’s case, pipe bombs, improvised devices indicative of his rough lifestyle. Erraticness is a character flaw – one Tony clearly suppressed or overcame on his path to success and influence – and so clearly Gay Tony is a flawed character.
Unexciting from a gameplay perspective, this activity’s inclusion furthers the narrative. Reflecting this, the player can visit an indoor driving range, playing a simplified version of golf, generally considered a more elevated sport, one clashing with the brute physicality of games like football or basketball, demanding exercises of strength and athleticism.
For this subplot evokes no real pathos or emotional heft, a problem which persists throughout the narrative’s entirety. Yusuf Amir is not some moralizer, did not target the yacht and the chopper specifically because he wished to silence these traffickers and disrupt their trade; the theft did not have altruistic motivations, even if society indirectly benefited from Luis’s actions.
While the transaction is disastrous from the start, owing to Luis’s efforts eventually he and Tony obtain the stones. I can’t personally understand Tony’s erraticness, but my hyper awareness of his humanity only made me want to help him all the more.
And he desperately needs help, his recent behavior suggesting an incompetence which his earlier achievements would seemingly discount.
DLC of the year?
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Luis Lopez is forced to help his boss Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince and clean up his mess, discovering that the rich life of Liberty City is just as dangerous as the tough streets where Luis gre...
Most narratives benefit from antagonists introduced early on, and developed frequently. Objects like the automatic shotgun are not confined to the end game, meaning the player can experiment with them – and delight in them – for numerous riveting hours. This character has to be given particular praise for his bad dancing to 'Arab Money' and hilarious conversations with Luis, calling him every name under the offensive sun.
Like the two previous mass murdering characters, Luis isn't a cheery fellow (despite being a rampant rabbit) and it's roughly ten minutes before everything goes guns up and he actually has a reason to be unhappy.
While no such substantial changes to the driving are featured, in The Ballad, the player can take full advantage of the complex and unique driving mechanics already thriving in GTA IV, as Luis has ready access to the fastest and most maneuverable vehicles immediately. Close minded, figures like the obnoxious Mori Kibbutz and the villainous Ray Bulgarin assume that, because Luis associates with Tony and ever acts on his behalf, Luis himself must be homosexual – and in their conception lesser.
The overwhelming optimism is striking, and again illustrates Rockstar’s fierce desire to instill in the expansion its own distinct identity. Luis does not ignore them, but regularly engages with them, almost as though he were proud of his past, realizing that Armando and Henrique made him him. Still: this decision makes their attainment far more streamlined, and this weapon spawning is a practical reward, complementing the intrinsic reward accompanying success in a particularly grueling war and the personal satisfaction felt alongside the knowledge that Luis is bettering Armando and Henrique, asserting his loyalty to them.
Inexperienced artists can and do create great innovations, benefitting from their inexperience. Weapondary has also seen some relentless improvements such as the terrorist friendly sticky bombs and a M249 SAW which packs a bigger punch than Rocky.
So, GTA fan or not this is certainly a near perfect DLC the fans, fanboys and fanatics have needed, to break out of the serious side of Liberty City and start diving and gliding out of whatever the hell they want to and enjoy how much fun there is still to found in this timeless series.
For this expansion fixates on excess, on the day to day actions of a thug at heart situated in a fortunate position completely unattainable to most other thugs, no matter their persistence or skill sets.
