I'm don't feel very thrilled by that. They said it's troublesome to make GTA IV for PC, i say they were lazy and incompetent. They should recieve no credit or hype from the PC comunnity.

I agree. I see no reason to buy games that would be poorly optimized and bug-ridden.
loosing my faith in rockstar =p i know for some gta iv pc did that for that ... i never had problems with the game other then signing in to social club then having to sign into live (just let me play the effing game) ;) but then i built a rig just for gta iv (not really but my old comp died just before gta iv was due out so it's a good story) for me eflc plays worse on my machine then gta iv ... i've been buying R* games since the first gta .. so far no RDR PC then the BS borderline LIES about la noire being too hard to port to pc ... ( mouthoff (AT) rockstar.com )
All I see from that link is Rockstar making excuses for their shoddy work on the PC :-
[quote="Jeronimo"]It is difficult to translate the game for the PC, he openly admitted.Even with GTA 4 Rockstar would have had big problems with a clean implementation: the sheer number of components of the game (game world, AI, physics etc.), thus the complexity of a game, combined with a variety of PC configurations of players around the world mountains tons of errors.charmingcharlie
Doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence in Rockstar's work with regard to the PC. As for LA Noire I doubt we will see a PC release of it, Rockstar is very much a console centric company these days and they show an increasing reluctance to do anything but lip service to the PC.
What a cop-out. Reminds of Lucas Arts and the Force Unleashed debacle. "We're not porting it because you'd need a $4000 super computer to run it" yet it ran on the 3sh!txy and the gaystation 3, and they ended up porting it later anyways.
