After GTA4, it's steam sale materiel for me. Given how popular the title is as well: I expect Ubisoft style price jacking. Anything over £29.99 can get fucked.

There needs to be a standard for requirements. What exactly is recommended? What settings, resolution, framerate can I achieve with recommended? Those recommended settings seem very low.

What's with those pathetic reqs?

Is this for puny console equivalent settings?

65Gb? Holy ****

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the only game I'm waiting for

With that 8Gb req, I'm a bit concerned we may have the same unified RAM/Vram problem these console ports have been having. Really hope there is no stuttering.

They probably know the thing is unoptimized as **** for pc: so are jacking the req specs as an excuse when all the rage comes.

Those monsters.

Those specs seem way too low.... I'm skeptical for now.

specs sound right to me

DVD drive. lol

@Legend002I wonder how many DVD's it'll be.

I guess by now everyone here knows what I think of Rockstar (and I was such a huge fan back in the GTA1/2 days).

They don't give a crap about PC and use PC gamers as leftover scraps. NO ONE should buy this on launch month.

Good thing there will be hundreds of mods within a week from its release. I'm preordering this the second it's available.

If you buy this title without waiting on reviews you are perpetuating Rockstar's shameful disregard for PC users.

Sheep will be sheep, tho.

Then you're just supporting a company that doesn't care about you and will continue to do so.

Exactly.

Doesn't bother me, don't need another crappy launch.

Oh no, how will I sleep at night?!?

I would imagine just like most sheep do.

If they didn't care about me they would have released it now instead of delaying it and polishing it more. I've never had a problem with Rockstar. Max Payne 3 and LA Noire were both absolutely flawless for me, both running maxed out silky smooth with no bugs at all. I know I got LA Noire launch day but Max Payne 3 might have been a couple weeks later. Manhunt was perfect way back long ago. GTA 4's performance was crappy at high settings, that's the only problem I ever had with a Rockstar game. Worked fine later though.

Sorry you guys had whatever problems but there are other people in the world except you two. I will fully support Rockstar because they consistently put out amazing product.

"If they didn't care about me they would have released it now instead of delaying it and polishing it more."

Someone doesn't remember history. GTA4 was released nearly a YEAR after consoles, and became one of the worst ports in PC history. GTA3 was released a long time too after consoles and too was a bad PC port at launch (not as bad as GTA4).

GTA4 still works bad for people. It's not just us (I actually got it to a playable state), have a google on how many problems GTA4 had at launch on PC (apart from the abysmal 3 layer DRM they included in it).

"I will fully support Rockstar because they consistently put out amazing product."

Not on PC they don't.

Wow, someone has a shitty memory.

GTA 3 was abysmal on the PC and took a long time to come out. GTA IV was worse and also took a long time to come out. It also still runs horrendously to this day. LA Noire was a shitty port, though it actually ran. Max Payne 3 ran, but it's a stretch to call it anything other than an interactive movie.

You are basically telling Rockstar that they can release products that barely work and get away with it. Rockstar has shown a lot of contempt for the platform that launched them into success.

Now I'm not saying don't buy the game. If it's well-optimized and has few or no bugs, I'll buy it. But wait for reviews for god's sake. What do you have to lose? Or continue to be part of the herd. I prefer to be informed before I buy games.

Lol gtfo of here with your self righteous attitude. If you dont like a company then dont buy their games. Dont be that A hole that makes fun of others for buying the games they like. Grow up.

It has nothing to do with dislike of the company. I think most of their console games are fantastic.

It has everything to do with them not putting out quality products on the PC and forsaking those of us who supported them from the very beginning.

The only people here that need to grow up are those of you who are absolutely clueless on the matter and insist this is the greatest developer known to man. Not on the PC they aren't. And it's the sheep that will buy the games regardless of whether it's a quality port or not that continue to tell them it's A-OK to give us poorly programmed and optimized games.

1. I am not clueless on the matter, I just understand how the real gaming world works which you seem to not get. It is fine if you want to live in your fantasy world where a mostly console developer (which rockstar is now, get over it) should spend a lot of time and money porting over a game to PC which holds much less of their fan base.

2. I never said they are the greatest developer ever

3. Generalizing everyone who wants to buy this game as sheep is just ignorant and extremely childlike.

How does the real gaming world work?

Actually, let me ask you this: why does every other developer manage to release their PC games at the same time (or close to) the console launch with a good port and Rockstar takes a YEAR to do the same with bad ports?

Is it really worth giving Rockstar money?

I really wanted to play it bad on PC for quiet sometime... but after this I just don't give a shit about it anymore.

Creating PC games that work well is pretty easy if you care. If you don't, well, you get Rockstar games.

It's not a generalization. You either look at the facts and accept them for what they are, or you lie to yourself. Rockstar has a shitty track record on the PC. You are foolish if you buy this game without waiting on reviews.

Jesus christ dude. Just because they didn't work for you and a few others doesn't mean they didn't work for everyone. I could care less how long they take to get ported, better late than not at all. I try not to be a self-entitled baby. There's plenty of shit to play until then. Get off your high horse of rage and get your head out of your ass. And I'll be a part of the herd, thanks.

"but it's a stretch to call it anything other than an interactive movie."

This just proves how much of a tard you are. When I played Max Payne 3 I shot hundreds of enemies in slow motion. I imagine you on 4chon spewing garbage like "the last of us is a movie lol XDDD"

That's where you're missing the facts.

It only worked OK for a few. The majority of gamers couldn't run it properly (I'm talking about launch, not 6 months down the track and after 8 patches where Rockstar got it to a "playable" state).

Same thing happened with GTA3.

Consider yourself one of the lucky ones if it ran well for you without patches.

(To do a modern comparison, Assassins Creed Unity is a flawless port compared to GTA4.)

Well then you guys can wait for feedback after it releases like you say. No one is forcing you to buy it. Wait for feedback and wait for patches if there's problems. Nearly all PC games have problems at launch of some sort or another. Farcry 4 was unplayable for me for during launch but I didn't go and cry about it because I knew it would be fixed within a week. Welcome to PC gaming?

No one is crying here, and I have my fingers crossed that GTA5 will be a good port (Max Payne 3 was a good port so hopefully the trend continues).

The point is about the relationship between company and consumer.

Rockstar treats PC gamers like left over scraps. They release on consoles first, then a year later on PC with a bad port/product. They did this with GTA3, they did this with GTA4, and now when everybody thought they would release the PC version of GTA5 together with next-gen consoles, they are doing the same. "Let's sell as much as we can on consoles, and then release the PC version as an afterthought since some people will still buy it no questions asked".

I'm not saying DO NOT BUY GTA5 (I probably will buy it if the reviews are good since I enjoy the series).

I'm saying don't give them money at launch. They treat us as leftovers, then treat their product as leftover too (when it goes on sale).

@FelipeInside: It doesn't bother me even the least bit. Some great games are not even ported at all. Even if I did care that we got it so late the first person mode alone makes up for it. I have all consoles and I could have bought it last year but I have patience and I couldn't care less that I'm playing it late. It's still the same game, only improved. It looks like this time they are really taking this PC port seriously and I think people should have high hopes.

Delayed again don't know if happy or sad. Happy, maybe they are making sure its perfect (doubtful) Sad delayed again. That being said as of late my faith in the video game industry has been shaken. I got a one all for one thing halo. Mcc even today I still take much longer to find matches than it should. Then guardians beta plays like cod so many issues with that. But of all gta has been a huge disappointment mainly because its been a year and still no heists and it has still not been released for pc. If it doesnt work flawlessly on the pc then i may have lost faith in them altogether.

You still miss the big picture here friend.

It's not just the delay, it's the actual attitude of delaying it ON PURPOSE so the console versions can sell first. And then after that huge delay, give us an awful port (GTA 3/4). Don't believe the BS PR crap that "hey, we are optimizing the game for PC" cause I've heard that with GTA3, GTA4 and LA Noire.

@FelipeInside: After the GTA IV debacle I don't believe they would release it any less than awesome otherwise their life on PC will be over.

Ubifail gave Watch Dogs another 6 months to "optimise" and look what happened there. I just hope and hope Rockstar will not fail us.

That I agree with Klunt. If they release a bad port 3 times in a row in the GTA series then it's strike three for Rockstar, but we've already given them 2 chances.... why should we give them a third?

Watch Dogs wasn't as optimized as it should of been, but it didn't run anywhere near as bad as GTA4. The majority of people ran it fine.

Reqs are pretty low, hopefully they are accurate and the game runs well on recommended systems.

Not sure about buying this one though. 65gb would take me like an entire day non stop, but I don't want a non-steam version really.

Always online DRM is sad.

I'm going to stay away from preordering this game. GTA 4 port was so atrocious that I'm going to wait and see how the game turns out. I've got plenty of games to finish anyways.

Can't get a basic expression correct

Calls someone else a tard

I will wait for a sale... I want to play this game because of the FPS mode and I am not going to purchase a PS4 any time soon... The game is not worth 60 bucks to me when I can can just play it on PS3 minus the FPS Mode...

You just lost all your credibility because of this statement lmao. You continue to live in your fantasy world where PC ports are budgeted by care and not time and effort as well as money. You seem to forget that there is a business aspect to businesses, you try to go an make a game with care as your only budget and let me know how far you get. It makes sense that a console developer would spend more time and less man power on porting their game to PC where only a small fraction of its fan base exists. The GTA IV port was god awful, we all know that, however, it was most likely they release that or dont release a PC port at all.

This all being said, I am going to wait for reviews to see how it runs, I just didnt like your blatant ignorant comments about people who dont think the same as you.

Only the deluded would think that releasing a PC game as a broken and buggy mess is good business sense.

You act like it's impossible for developers to make PC titles that work. That simply isn't the case. Assassin's Creed Unity and Black Flag are examples of a console developer making a PC title work.

It's nonsense to suggest that their budget would somehow blow up if they made sure their PC titles worked at launch. That's a cop out.

Calling someone ignorant and then ignoring the punctuation and grammar of your own posts is pretty sad, by the way.

Shame about the delay. Max Payne 3 was a good port (for my setup anyway), so i'm cautiously optimistic that R* has turned a corner with respect to their pc ports.

Still going to wait for user performance reviews before deciding whether to buy at full price or on sale down the road.

I never said it was good business sense, I also never said it was impossible to make a great PC port.... but you probably know that. You need to make it look like I said those things because you are completely ignoring my points and instead decide to argue things I didn't say. The truth is, you have no idea how software development works. You come here with your entitled gamer attitude and start spewing hate at others who don't conform to your uninformed opinions and then attack said people when they bring up actual points. Unless you can actually read my posts and comment on what I say in them, I am done with this conversation.

And this is the internet, I dearly apologize if you can't understand words that are not 100% grammatically correct. Also, ignoring my punctuation and grammar is not on the same level of ignorance as attacking people who don't think like you, nice try buddy.

I hope its got good multi GPU support, my single GPU is below the recommended, in crossfire its above.
