I hate to be 'that guy' but this screams "cash grab" to me. Why would they include the GTA 4 expansions without including GTA 4 itself? At $60, it's not a particularly great deal and it just seems like a strange combo with MC in there.
Having said that, they're all decent games, but who's going to want all of them that doesn't already own at least a couple?
Afterthought: Holy hell, how many Xbox discs is this combo going to come on? I'm counting at least 6.
Grand Theft Auto is one of the greatest series of all-time.. and coming from someone who has played all of them, and only about an hour of Saints Row 1, GTA 4 was terrible. The worst Grand Theft Auto game made.
I think this is super smart and great for any newbies. Ya I dont think it can come out on Xbox unless they charge the full $60 for it. A lot of collections don't because of the DVD situation and price.
Midnight Club and LA Noire are both pretty crappy games. You might have heard good things about LA Noire. You more than likely heard all the hype everyone showered the game with, similar to Max Payne 3 which also isn't very good.
That's not a wicked deal. You'll save a few bucks but I guarantee I could walk into Gamestop or go onto Amazon tomorrow and buy all 4 of the titles in this pack for $70.
I think the bundle that would've made more sense would be GTA 4 and all expansions, the GOTY edition of RDR, and the GOTY edition of LA Noire. That, by itself, would've been worth the $60 and it's a bundle that makes sense. All open-world games with that signature Rockstar spin.
Instead of that we got two pieces of GTA 4 without getting the main game, 2 other good open-world games without their expansion, and a seemingly random racing game that has nothing in common with the other titles, with the exception of who it's made by.
so wait...you just admitted you'd rather go in and buy each individually and spend more than this?
explain 1 more time how its not a good deal? I agree that itd be a better deal if they were goty editions, but still..its a pretty good deal considering. Look at the positives!
I dont own any of these anymore and will highly consider getting them since the value of the ones I never had is still more or equal to the asking price of the collection.
GTA 4, and Midnight club are the only two I previously owned. I never got around to play LA Noire or the extras for GTA so this will be great for me (I know GTA 4 isn't included).
Red dead Redemption I borrowed from a friend, didn't like it that much but maybe that was because I rushed to get online. LA Noire looks like a beautiful game. Midnight I did enjoy a lot. And from what I'm told by my friends, Ballad of gay tony and Lost & Damned are brilliant.
$60, I'm guessing they'd sell it for £40 here. Well worth it. I just hope it will be out before Christmas time.
Ok first with UBI not including AC1 with AC collection or the dlc and now RS who I have a lot of respect for I mean come on how stupid do you think consumers really are?
GTA complete edition not included Red dead GOTY not included
Make a great collection include everything because IMO in the Long run that will generate more sales because more people who already have all those games might consider just buying me collection who sold their games or traded
It is a good deal tbh, but it's like you said, a majority of gamers are gonna have a few of these games included in the bundle already. This buy is good for someone who has been out of the gaming scene for awhile(military,dads,moms,etc) or it's a good gift to buy the kids for xmas.
How can anyone disagree with you? RDR never came to PC. I should know, I waited for the PC version all these years and just recently managed to accept the truth that it's never coming to PC and just bought it for my PS3. And yes, Steam sales do offer better deals from time to time, you some times get ALL of the publishers games for $60.
WTF are you talking about? L.A Noire is a great game and one of the many games which should have beaten Skyrim for GOTY.... Never gonna get over that....
Actually, it isn't pricey. Even printing 5 discs cost around 1 dollars. Printing manual and cover cost a lot more than discs. Heck, you could even print 8 discs and it still wouldn't be pricey. To speak the truth, 1 dual layered BR disc cost more than 5 DVD's.
Its an interesting take on the collection stuff I'll give them that, but looking at it there is no DLC with LA Noire or RDR. So most likely this is just a collection for the main games.
Not bad, but I think people would have liked a complete collections =/
They're releasing the same game over and over All the consoles are dead, this gen is done...... I think it's time for a new console generation WII U, XBOX 720 AND of COURSE the PS4 ...DEAL WITH IT
And with 5-10 games to play? I don't even count every launch title true next gen graphics. No thanks because even with the launch titles, I don't always want to play them and it takes 2 years before there will be enough games made for the next games to make the console very fun.
Aren't games usually re-released when the next gen is around the corner? I wouldn't mind another disc bassed MC LA, as I lost my copy (i want the map it came with) and I already own the dlc for it.
With LA Noire taking so many DVD discs on X360, is there a chance Rockstar is turning most of the episodes in DLC that must be downloaded from Microsoft? The game is designed like episode "plug-in" for all the cases. In theory, the game is playable even there is zero case left to solve. You just drive around LA and do whatever idiot things you like to the people and cars on the street as long you don't kill them. There's even an achievement if you can cause x dollar amount of damage in the city and vice versa. When the game ships on X360, amount of discs will immediately tell you if any of the LA Noire episodes get moved to DLC.
GTA4 Complete Edition. Includes GTA4 and Episodes. $25 on PS3, $29 on 360 at Amazon.
Red Dead Redemption GotY. $30.
You're paying less and getting the best games in this collection plus the amazing GTA4. Skip this garbage collection. Midnight Club LA and LA Noire are not good games.
People have there preferences, in fact I prefer Midnight Club LA over Burnout Paradise due to way my logitech wheel handles it. MC LA may be a bad game to you, but it's the opposite for me. (i can't play it without a wheel) lol
Yeah It's the only open world racer that work well with a Logitech DF Pro wheel!! NFS USED to last gen too, I bet Most Wanted doesn't have wheel support!
Would probably get this for LA Noire (which I haven't played yet) and RDR (brother sold my copy). I already have the entire GTA IV Collection on my PC and couldn't really care about Midnight Club.
this is really cool we don't usually see a collection with games from different series anymore. it cool to see this, back in the PS2 days we saw alot of these types of collections.
Having said that, they're all decent games, but who's going to want all of them that doesn't already own at least a couple?
Afterthought: Holy hell, how many Xbox discs is this combo going to come on? I'm counting at least 6.
Maybe it's because all the haters and Saints Row lovers keep saying GTA4 sucks?
The only game that interest me in this collection is red dead redemption and I could probably pick that up for $20
Get over your irrational fanboy hate.
it was overhyped.
just out of curiosity, how do you define, "suck"?
7.5 discs.
lol
(not a shot at you, Hammad, just to be clear)
4 games for $60?
am I mistaken by thinking thats a wicked deal?! especially for those who havent played any of those.
(I only own the episodes of liberty city)
I think the bundle that would've made more sense would be GTA 4 and all expansions, the GOTY edition of RDR, and the GOTY edition of LA Noire. That, by itself, would've been worth the $60 and it's a bundle that makes sense. All open-world games with that signature Rockstar spin.

Just seems odd.
explain 1 more time how its not a good deal?
I agree that itd be a better deal if they were goty editions, but still..its a pretty good deal considering. Look at the positives!
Sweet friggin deal.
Red dead Redemption I borrowed from a friend, didn't like it that much but maybe that was because I rushed to get online. LA Noire looks like a beautiful game. Midnight I did enjoy a lot. And from what I'm told by my friends, Ballad of gay tony and Lost & Damned are brilliant.

GTA complete edition not included
Red dead GOTY not included

But whatever I have all these games
excellent value well done Rockstar
But yeah, this collection is pretty silly.
Besides, Steam sales offer way better deals than this package.
during summer sale all that for $12.49!
Not bad, but I think people would have liked a complete collections =/
All the consoles are dead, this gen is done...... I think it's time for a new console generation WII U, XBOX 720 AND of COURSE the PS4 ...DEAL WITH IT
And then they will probably be selling for $80?
Uhhg red cases!!! (i like mines translucent)
Red Dead Redemption GotY. $30.
You're paying less and getting the best games in this collection plus the amazing GTA4. Skip this garbage collection. Midnight Club LA and LA Noire are not good games.
Sounds like they are leaving the option open for more collections. Hopefully they get around to doing a few collections with HD versions of PS2 games.
