Please read before playing: GTA IV was updated recently to remove GFWL so players can play it without having the need to login or use the client while saving their games. However, Rockstar have forgotten to remove GFWL in EFLC. This may be seen as an issue but it can be easily fixed by downloading the Xliveless client from the internet which will fix the saving feature in EFLC. You will be able to play the game normally by obtaining the client. It's a shame that Rockstar forgot about updating EFLC. Other than that, EFLC is an amazing expansion to the rich writing of GTA IV and I can always recommend it to anyone who has played IV first. If you don't play IV it may be a bit difficult to understand certain areas of the storylines in EFLC. I'd suggest you play IV before playing TBOGT or TLAD. I really like TBOGT the most out of this expansion, it's like the opposing force to Half-life, an expansion which adds in a new amount of great features and story. EDIT 10/09/19: Seems like someone in Rockstar or Steam censored my words. If this is a problem, why not just update the game? a lot of people are talking about this issue with GFWL and I don't understand why Rockstar haven't updated EFLC. This expansion is brilliant but if people can't play it, why not just update it? it's a bit straight forward

A MUST have addition to GTA IV. It basically retells the story of Libertiy City on the same time era as NIko from additional two different perspectives. A lot of events and mission end up tying between the three protagonists (Niko, Johnny, and Luis). The Lost and Damned (TLaD) Summary: American 60's biker drama (greasers, junkie girlfriend, running with the politic and mafia, pushers, internal dispute, etc.) There are lot of interesting gameplay mechanics introduced since you are now in bike club. Eg: You get to roll with your brothers (that's what they call each other); with each successful mission (and them not dying), they will receive 'EXP' to upgrade their survivability and weaponry. (Note: noobs brother tend to die easily, but main story brothers won't die unless the story tells so) The Ballad of Gay Tony (TBoGT) Spoiler: Actually not gay. Lots of booty calls (note: NOT from dudes). Dude who you are working for (Tony Prince, AKA Gay Tony) is the one who's gay; dude runs clubs in town with some 'business' partners. I played TBoGT a long time ago; frankly I don't remember any new interesting things thrown in except for booty calls. I do recall sweet ass helicopter (an upgrade from Annihilator) from rich ass racist Arab . You can replay missions though since each mission has this 'additional objectives' in order for you to get the 100%/ gold medal bullshit and make yourself feel less terrible. Pros: + Don't need to own GTA IV (But highly recommended to finish the main game first; this game assumes player has experienced base game. A lot of references are thrown here and there as story progresses) + A lot of new arsenals introduced. They are exclusive to each stories (and are more OP in some cases) + Complete different atmospheres with some new mechanics + Feels more optimised than the base game Cons: - Takes another 16 GB of files even if you own GTA IV (since Episodes from Liberty City is considered a separate game). It is such a waste of space, considering 90% of the game files are recycled - Generic missions, with some minor bugs here and there - They RIP APART Vladivostok FM into pop dance club bullshit FM. GIVE ME BACK ΠΠΈΠ½ΠΎΜ's ΠΡΡΠΏΠΏΠ° ΠΊΡΠΎΠ²ΠΈ! Overall, if you or your friends are thinking of picking up GTA IV, get the Episodes from LIberty City as well.

It's fun, but after you're done with both TLaD and TBoGT theres no point in playing it, so due to that the game will give you about 40 hours of playtime.

To those with Games for Windows Live issues or who are whining that the game is broken and shouldn't be sold due to this: There is no issue. You simply have to create an offline account, which is clearly stated when you start the game. I have personally done this. I installed the game, created an offline account, completed the first mission and saved. I restarted the game and guess what? I started off from the saved point. To those whiners: Please take the time to confirm if a game is broken or not before writing some non-sense review to scare people off. Save yourself the embarrassment of being proven to be both wrong and ignorant.
