It would not surprise me a bit if the Houser's called it Gay Tony on purpose to piss off their critics.

Yes

Remind me...who the hell was Gay Tony? It's been a while since I played through GTAIV. He's not the guy you go out on a date with, is he?

Pretty sure he's not in the original game. You don't play as Gay Tony either.

The Ballad of Gay Tony features protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez, a Dominican Street Gangster, who works as a personal bodyguard for Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince, a nightclub entrepreneur

I still have my copy, but I like the decision to sell BoGT & L&D as a standalone disc. This way, people don't have to buy/rebuy GTAIV to experience the DLC.

Right, I knew that. I was just trying to figure out if either of these characters made an appearance in GTAIV.

hmm, I wonder is this is a shot at Gamestop to stop used game sales?

Was Luis Lopez the sniper at the failed diamond deal in the museum?

Hmm, now that you say that, you may be right.

I think its a response to certain media outlets using the sales figures for L&D to try and say that the GTA series was no longer a big seller. A pretty ludicrous thing to say considering you're basing it off of DLC on one console, but perception is king so I think TT definitely thought about that.

They are most likely selling this as a standalone game to reach more people. GTA 4 sold 7 million copies on the 360 alone, while the L&D DLC sold far less than that. Either people have moved on and don't own the main game anymore, or people just aren't interested in downloading it. So bundling the two DLC packs together like this eliminates both problems.



As for Luis Lopez...

http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Luis_Fernando_Lopez

Luis appears during Grand Theft Auto IV on three occasions. The first time he visits the Bank of Liberty branch in Algonquin during the bank robbery pulled off by the McReary brothers and Niko Bellic in the mission Three Leaf Clover. Fellow hostage Eugene Reaper suggested that they stand up to the robbers. Luis stated it was a bad idea, which was proven when Eugene killed Keane and was then shot dead by Packie and Derrick. Luis escaped unharmed when the surviving robbers fled the scene.

The second time, he ambushes the diamond deal that Niko and Johnny Klebitz were making with the Jewish Mob on behalf of the Pegorinos in the mission Museum Piece. It could be assumed, after the events in Lost & Damned (see section below), that Luis' employer has sent him to retrieve the diamonds after The Lost ambush the first exchange at The Platypus during the mission Diamonds in the Rough. It has also been speculated that Luis worked with Johnny, but he was there with the Ancelotti Family when the deal crashed, and he shot at Johnny. Furthermore, during the end credits of The Lost and Damned, one recap of the museum scenario shows Luis trying to escape via the roof as Johnny and Niko escape by bike and car respectively. Luis dashes to a skylight, then begins to open fire at someone below.

His third appearance was alongside Gay Tony at the diamond/Gracie Ancelotti exchange, in the mission Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend. The exchange was interrupted by Bulgarin, who believed Tony and Luis stole the diamonds from him, and sent his men to kill all parties at the meet.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I finally finished the game last night. WOW. The last few hours are incredible and they really just rip your heart out of your chest. Now I get to move on to Lost and Damned

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I've had L&D since its release, but I remember when I first bought it that this would load first when GTA4 would start up. Now I get GTA4 loading up and this game doesn't load.

If I wanted to load L&D how do I do that?

Then if I want to play the main game, how do I load that up?

I know there was confusion with this process for both.

The way I understand it is that the game will load your most recent save. If you want to play the other one that it doesn't load, simply press start and go to the 'game' tab (I believe that's what it's called, its the last one on the right) and select load. You can load all save files you have there including ones from the main game and LATD.

I think eventually you will. I'm thinking sometime in 2010.
