I believe this... game? add-on? represents an interesting addition for the GTA IV world, but it has its shortcomings. Mainly that the main story is too predictable from almost the very first cutscene. All the Lost members dynamics are crystal clear from the start and they don't change at all, and the rest of the story tries too hard to tie-in with GTA IV main story even if it doesn't make a lot of sense.
Thankfully, the new weapons refresh the gameplay enough to keep it interesting. Although they feel overpowered, the game isn't long enough that it becomes boring. The riding physics for the chopper-style bikes are also great, and considering riding is half of the gameplay, that's a strong point in favour. Such a shame that the same can't be said about the more sporty bikes that you also have access to, but they don't fit the aesthetic so it's not too bad.
Overall, good, worth playing, but nothing to write home about

definitely worth a play if you liked GTA IV but ONLY if you liked GTA IV. It's story is sidelined for insignificant, yet still very fun, missions trying to just be "Look! I'm a biker!" and a tie into GTA IV. You can definitely see that Rockstar weren't happy with how the story went and recycled and remastered it for Red Dead Redemption 2.
More GTA IV. Excellent and improved bike riding mechanics mean it's a great deal of fun to roam around with the Lost MC. Concise story with a decent if somewhat predictable arc. Felt like the gunplay was tighter here but could just be me getting used to it. Soundtrack top tier and the intro with Highway Star is absolutely fantastic. On to BoGT!
Trying to pinpoint what exactly went wrong here compared to Gay Tony.
I think it’s because the story is not as interesting; frankly it’s just depressing. Johnny is a tragic guy and he arouses pity.
Beyond that, the gameplay is good, more of the same really. The bike is fun, travelling around in a group on the road is fun - feels a bit like a precursor to Red Dead 2.

not as good as IV but it's still good
the concept itself isnt as badly executed as i thought it would be. im not sure if they updated the bikes here or if my version just has something but the bikes control way better than they do in IV and i found myself using the bikes way more than the cars. the missions are nothing special but i was enjoying myself.
the story is an absolute mess however, the pacing is all over the place and every character is way more interesting than johnny himself is, the writing has its funny moments nonetheless but that's to be expected from a gta game.
overall, while the game has a lot of flaws, there is still fun to be had here and the concept itself is interesting, the execution just could've been way better. despite this, i do not see this game being a full fledged game, it just could've been slightly longer to have more impact.

"I am not in the dude business, dude"
I played this after 'The Ballad of Gay Tony' and it is significantly less interesting. I am loath to dislike it for that reason alone, as a standalone adventure it is perfectly fun (and quite hilarious if you know the fate of Johnny Klebitz) but it simply did not have the same polish or attention to character development.

Pues es un DLC relativamente corto.
Me gusta cómo la historia se conecta con la del juego base, hasta dando explicaciones a sucesos de la misma.
El final se me hizo medio abrupto, esperaba más desarrollo/drama.
Y chale, que triste que la historia de Johnny acabe de forma tan "equisde" en GTA V.

eu gostei, um bom complemento a história principal
acho que o maior destaque aqui é o quão boa a história é, o personagem do billy é sensacional e tem uns momentos bons demais
o conceito é muito bom e daria um jogo por si próprio
mas infelizmente o jogo acaba se limitando demais por ser uma dlc curta, mas vale a pena, além da história, o jogo não tem nada de muito incrível, mas ainda sim é bem bacana
