Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned

The first episode for the original Grand Theft Auto IV is called The Lost and Damned . The main character is biker Johnny Klebitz ( eng. Johnny Klebitz ) - vice president of the biker club "The Lost MC" ("Lost"), a Jew by nationality. The game starts from the moment when Niko starts working for Mikhail Faustin in the original game. The story begins with the fact that Billy - the president of the club and the leader of the gang - returns with forced rehabilitation by a court decision in a special clinic. In the absence of Billy, Johnny made a truce with the grouping "The Angels of Death" ("Angels of Death"). Billy is back, and he does not like it at all. Billy rips off all the great work that Johnny does for the gang, this leads to Johnny’s discontent, and there are often conflicts between them. Finally, after another skirmish with “dohlyaks” (as members of the Billy gang call members of the gang of “Angels of death”), Bill tells the sad news: someone killed their younger brother Jason in Hove Beach (Nico Belik killed him). He was killed either by a Serb or a Russian. With the help of "informers" Billy and the whole Lost team crush the Angels Club, believing that they killed Jason. In the club, they find about 20 kg of heroin. With the help of Elizabeth Torres, Johnny finds a buyer and, under the cover of Niko and Playboy, X goes to a deal. Johnny comes out alive, but without a bit of heroin and money. Finally, Billy decides to make a sensible decision: sell the heroin to the Triad and stop shooting. Johnny, Billy, Jim and Brian go to Chinatown. There, Jim and John are ambushed and, having completely lost all the heroin, they leave. Bill is arrested by the police, and the other three return to the club. Deciding that Johnny betrayed Billy, Brian betrays the gang and, together with other traitors, tries to kill John. Jim introduces the hero to Malcolm - a member of a group of bikers who prefer sportbikes. With the help of Ray Bocchino, the hero finds out where the traitor is. When the hero catches him off guard, the player has a choice: kill or release. If you let go, then later Brian will appear as a random character and will be finally killed. Russian gangsters are threatening to kill Ashley, a biker addict and friend Johnny. But the diplomatic version makes John steal Roman Bellik at the request of Dmitry Raskalov. John also works for Thomas Stubbs - a corrupt politician. Finally, the hero performs a couple of assignments for Lisa and Ray offers to participate in a diamond scam. Johnny steals diamonds during a Tony Prince and Luis Lopez deal. It is he who shoves them in the garbage cans, where Niko gets them. Niko and John are making a deal with the Jewish mafia, but because of Louis, the deal is frustrated. Johnny steals money and gives it to Jim. In the message, Jim asks Johnny to come to Ray. With the help of torture, Ray wants to know from Jim where the money is. But bikers are hiding. Ray's mercenaries try to kill Johnny, but he kills them. Behind the scenes of the original, Ray asks Niko to kill Jim and he, according to the plot, kills. Stubbs tells John the bad news: Billy came under the protection of witnesses and agreed to surrender the gang. Together with the remaining bikers, Johnny breaks into the prison of Alderney and kills Billy. Upon returning to the club, the remaining bikers find him defeated by unknown persons, and then set on fire.

Innovations

In The Lost and Damned was added a number of new features, mini-games, minor missions. Now, in order to meet all the friends at once, you only need to call once and the protagonist will go to meet his three (after the penultimate mission with two) available friends. New mini-games were added: air hockey , arm wrestling , card game “more-less”, motorcycle races. The Lost and Damned interface has undergone changes, the words in the menu are now highlighted in red, the HUD itself began to look older, the health / armor bars now appear in white and blue, the Johnny “Whiz Wireless” phone immediately with the camera is better than Niko, but it looks quite old mobile phone. Added innovation - riding in the "order of battle": when following the gang after the leader on the ground, the emblem of The Lost appears, on which the player must hold for a few seconds. This allows you to restore health and armor indicators, improve the condition of the motorcycle, as well as listen to additional dialogues. Rockstar added a new option - checkpoints for some missions - with the failure of a long mission, you can not pass it from the very beginning.

The opportunity to change player's clothes has disappeared - the whole game the main character walks in a leather jacket with club symbols, old jeans and boots. Also, unlike the original GTA IV, it is required to kill not 200 pigeons, but 50 gulls, after the destruction of which the Innovation motorcycle will be available ( Russian Innovation ). The game has been updated TV channels and additional sites on the gaming Internet.

• Chopper vs. Chopper

In this mode, you are offered the choice to become either a motorcyclist who moves from one point to another, and the meaning of it is to get there alive. Or become a helicopter pilot, which prevents a motorcyclist from completing a mission, or more simply speaking, trying to destroy him.
