Hey all, I have a question. I looked on Amazon for GTA 4 and the reviews are horrible because of the installation and gameplay of the game. I looked at Episodes from Liberty City and saw much better reviews. So here's the question, Which one should I get if I am only going to put LCPDFR on and play this only?

Thanks!

I recommend EFLC because LCPDFR has been optimized to support EFLC and it works great. Plus, EFLC has way more to offer than the original. Also, if you plan on modding, almost all mods made for the original are now compatible with EFLC.

From my experience, EFLC has more Cop models to choose from, has more cop cars: a Police Buffalo, Police Stinger, Police Bike, Police W, and an APC (if that counts as a Police Vehicle).

I personaly found EFLC to be far more stable than GTA IV (less crashes, freezing, bugs, etc...)

So all in all, I would go with EFLC, but that's just my opinion. I can't think of any reasons on why you should play GTA IV instead.

Thanks for the fast reply and good advice! Thats what I was thinking... I think Ballad of Gay Tony is the smoothest one out of all three (Lost and Damned is fuzzier and GTA 4 is slower).

The fuzziness in TLAD can be fixed by disabling " Noise Effect " from the display settings in the main menu.

Well the fuzziness was on my xbox 360. Overall, Gay Tony played much better on my Xbox than both combined. Is that setting on the Xbox version?

Well, the Lost and Damned can be cleared up by going to the display menu and turning off the Noise Effect. This will remove the grains you notice on the screen.

Yeah, it is. Just go the Display Settings on the pause menu, and look for Noise Effect On/Off. It can be hard to spot at first.

Thanks guys! one more thing, which should I install it in based on personal preferences, Gay tony or lost and damned?

Ballad of Gay tony.

It has more officers and vehicles. Not to mention you could set up a scenario inside one of the nightclubs using simple native trainer.

Thanks guys! Yall made my day lol

To follow up on this (as I'm in the same situation as Brad), would I be able to play on the multiplayer server with other players that owned just GTA IV?

Or if you get the radiance mod BxBug's made, it also disables the fuzzy effect plus your graphic's look better, it's only a visual setting tweak, lost and damned i find is better, i use my own gang unit textures for it, lost gang house raid's and what not, Ballod Of gay tony is just nightclubs basically, but there is maisonette 9 car skin's out there, i made one for the dodge challenger, i think it's on the site somewhere

@joeblue, from what i've heard LCPDFR is very buggy on MP
