Mouse>Controllers. Fuck yeah i said it.

Good for you. Controller>Mouse for me.

Well forget downloading this game. I heard that Rockstar edited the game for illegal versions. In the first mission you they made sure you cant complete it. That's what I heard at least. Game, set, match, Rockstar wins.

Yeah, they said in an interview they did some nifty safety precautions. You'd miss out on vital content or soem crap. Not really bothered tho:

A) I won't be able to run it in a res aove 1024x768 .. so I cba.
B) I would never dload 13 GB of content just for a game >.> Rather buy then ( But refer to A) )

well I think I'm going to buy it tomorrow. My specs reaches the required specs so I guess it should be smoothly playable on medium.

The newest cracked version at the moment makes the character permanently drunk. So have fun with that.

I more than meet the requirements and It's a bit laggy even on low settings.

Dammit, I wanted to pirate this.

But yeah, fair play on Rockstar's side. Good for them they found a way.
It's to be cracked some day though.

Well I played a bit ( illegal version) but I'm disappointed. Camera really really sucks and driving doesn't feel 'right'.

It's more realistic, which is pretty annoying at start, but you'll get used to it.

That video looks awesome, I love how they are able to have locked doors again, but unlike in GTA3, you can actually get into them by smashing the window, I like the helmet, and when you crash you fly out the windshield! Holy shit! That's badass!

I have San Andreas and it's one of the best games I've ever played, and this looks even better

Sadly, my computer has too bad of a graphics card so I won't be playing it on pc.

Unless it takes the same specs as SA, then I can play it no problem.

Sooooooo many people having problems with it on PC, I'm lucky to get 10-20 FPS, I knew I'd suffer only having AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 5400+ 2.8ghz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP SP3 and an NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS (512mb ram) but even that just makes the specs and It's totally unplayable. I've tried using the -norestriction command, Turning the imgame recorder that records the last 30 seconds off, putting all graphics to the minimum, turning on motion blur and upgrading my graphics card to the latest drivers and It's still running abysmal. It eats my full CPU and unless you're running a quad core, windows vista and 4gb ram+ I wouldn't buy it.

Fix'd

Phaidra, I think I have the exact same specs as you, lol.

What computer do you have?

No clue lol, I got it built from a local PC shop. I've upgraded it a lot since but the only cheap part left in is the mother board, it only holds 2GB RAM. Thinking of either upgrading to a new board and putting 4GB RAM in or getting a quad core. Can't afford both and have no clue what would make my computer run better.

I just want to play the game... FPS is that bad I can't complete a mission because I can't keep up with the car I'm chasing.

Why "yet" Soda ><?

I know nvidia are working on issues and there 8. something beta driver got me an extra 7 FPS but it also makes Left4Dead virtually unplayable.

thers a new expansion comin out or soemthin just for xbox 360

Because the patches will come. They will have to. I was planning on uninstalling until it was all fixed, until I installed the new drivers, I have the same gfx card as you apart from the fact that mines the mobile version and only has 128mb ram. Anyway, with the new drivers I can play almost seamlessly.

I used to be a PC gamer, but now I game on my xbox and PC. PC is definitely better for RTS and FPS, but sport and racing games are unmatched on a console. I love the GTA series, I actually bought my xbox when GTA came out just for that game. I appreciate why some people would rather get it on the PC, but a GTA game isn't a GTA game unless it's played with a controller.

Can we please stop talking about torrents and pirating, it's not allowed here. Thread is left opened because for the most part there's been hopes of a productive discussion, but the piratage talk must end.




I lolereded. To be able to put in a quad core, you would need a new motherboard. If your current mother board only holds 2GB ram, it's likely that it only supports AGP - which would mean that you would need a new graphics card too. An increase in ram, from 2 to 4, won't do anything really noticeable.

I used this test and it came up with these results.

Got it at the same spot as yours, but mine will still fail because he sees my graphics card as 1.4gig while its only 128mb (yeah I can boost it that far). So I'm actually pretty far below it probably haha.

And it runs...minimally lol.

I wanted to build a desktop anyway

I have a T8250 2ghz and a 128mb instead of your stuff. So don't think I'll be able to run it with that 128mb =[

Fixed

I'll just wait for skullptura to upload it and it should be around 5gig download. =]

Good luck with that. Unless he removes the high res textures it will be just as large as the steam download.
