Has some info about the DLC:

The first downloadable "episode" for GTA IV will be along in August, and it'll only be available on the Xbox 360. Rockstar isn't revealing any details, but company president Sam Houser has suggested they'll be separate storylines you can pick up within the game - like someone coming up to you in the street, asking for your help. You'll have to pay for them, but Houser reckons they'll be excellent value for money - Microsoft's confirmed they'll be at least 10 hours long - and be very popular, as Rockstar's goal is "to fry the Xbox Live servers." Don't schedule any multiplayer for August, then.

Wow, 10 hours in DLC is pretty impressive! I thought it'd just be a couple of missions, not an entire story :p

+1

Sounds awesome, shame we have to pay for them to be honest. How much will the Game + DLCs come to in the end? If each DLC is about 800 microsoft points then yeah... :|

*sigh*

Read what it says, "at least 10 hours" it could be more and i would think it will be especially if the DLC includes new multiplayer modes.

I doubt it will be anything multiplayer - I'd foresee any multiplayer updates being universal.

However on the 10 hour side of things, that is good! Hopefully it is roughly that long, and it doesn't cost too much!

How much was the Oblivion DLC?

I think the most expensive DLC for oblivion was shivering isles and that was 1200 points (i think).

Maybe multiplayer modes would be universal but if the DLC is going to be as big, i can see MP modes or at least some new co-op missions being in there.

@huleboeren, If MS paid for the excluisve DLC and want at least 10 hours they'll demand it. Also i think in an interview Sam Houser has said that they want to make DLC worth it and make it worth our money.

You mean the Horse Armor :laugh: or the actual expansion packs.

Actual expansion packs, but it's ok Lingwo answered! Unless the horse armor was 1200 points, but I doubt that :/

Maybe co-op but I doubt any multiplayer stuff is going to be exclusive for either platform!

The Horse Armor was like 800 Points when it was first released i think, perhaps 400 ( Which is still expensive ).

But ... It's Horse Armor!

Well if it's 10 hours DLC.. I think it's only fair to pay.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
