after GTA IV on PC, why in hell would anybody pay for GTA V on PC?

Well GameSpot, it looks like your industry nutsucking has backfired. How about next time, before admonishing the consumer for not buying garbage, you ask the publisher why they continue to put out garbage?

@Potochich exactly! i had forgotten all about demo's, it's been so long since a game put one out. it's like they are trying to encourage piracy :P

@AndreJr7 no, pretty much everything else anyone buys has some kind of return policy or satisfaction guarantee.

"Using piracy as a means to try before you buy is just as damaging." Oh piss off! You expect me to pay $60 for a game I might not even like, can not return, and apparently soon can not resell? Not happening. I will continue to try before I buy, thank you very much!

@jrmorgan23 do you know if he fondled a small child, or if he boned a 15yo when he was 18? there is a big difference, but not in the eyes of the law.

@AncientDozer it does not, and that's the problem.

As long as "sex offender" includes 18yo idiots who had sex with 16yo tramps, this is a terrible policy! I understand the need to prevent child predators from entering a new arena of predation, but until our laws redefine and differentiate between types of sex predators, actions like this hurt more people than they help.

@hystavito as for world generation or terrain customization, it seems like they didn't even consider it. disappointing.

@hystavito in the best case scenario, the engine supports moving cities closer together and either the dev's are responsive to the players and patch that in, or open it up to the modding community to patch it in.otherwise, it looks pretty much like simcity societies with half-arsed region play and curved roads, rather than a true successor to the SimCity franchise in which one builds a sprawling metropolitan area that gets bigger and bigger to match reality along with hardware capabilities.i like that i can build up a region in SC4 and make it look like a greater metropolitan area would look, pretty much in real life. i just don't think that will be possible with the engine they have created. it looks like it will be interconnected towns with, as this article reveals, an RPG element.
