HD Era 2009 Liberty City

Grand Theft Auto TBOGT

Liberty City nightlife, and the man keeping the doors open. The Ballad of Gay Tony closed out Grand Theft Auto IV in October 2009. Luis Fernando Lopez works for Anthony 'Gay Tony' Prince, whose two nightclubs are the only thing standing between him and the people he owes. It is the loudest of the three Liberty City stories, trading Niko's grey winter for helicopters, gold guns and base jumps, and it adds nine cheat codes of its own on top of the sixteen from the base game.
