The game was decidedly more humorous and did not take itself too seriously. In a bid to let players have a more light-hearted experience, The Ballad of Gay Tony was released as a DLC. GTA IV was one of the most divisive entries in the series due to its departure from the previous games' light-hearted tone. The game follows the story of legendary nightclub owner Anthony 'Gay Tony' Prince and his trusty bodyguard and protagonist, Luis Lopez. GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony was part of the Episodes from Liberty City DLC for GTA IV and is one of the most beloved entries in the franchise.
