The wait is almost over for all you GTA fans out there. This fall you will finally be able to play Grand Theft Auto V the way it is supposed to be played...on a PC. :cool:
 
About time they announced it. Looking forward to trying it. Glad RS decided to include PC.
 
I'd be more excited for Red Dead Redemption. I generally can't stand the GTA games, but If I can get it cheap enough maybe I'll give it a whirl.

I haven't cared for them since they went first-person, honestly. Initially I just wasn't inspired by the gameplay, then it got to the point that even with the better gameplay(and it is pretty solid) I just didn't care for the way they told the story. So they won ground on one front, then lost ground on the next.

Although it doesn't help that I'm horrible at being a bad guy in video games. Even in Fallout I couldn't make the "evil" choices without restoring my save point and going back through as a good guy. Even fictional me would stop and help somebody change his tire. And, yes, even if I'm running late.
 
I'm happy about this. But skeptical at the same time. I've been burned by bad console ports WAY too many times.
 
Meh, too late. I've voice my opinion when it should have counted. Played the game on the 360, it was a fun game, but I do not buy a game twice. This tactic of delaying the PC version was a deal breaker. I will never buy another Rockstar game that doesn't launch on PC.

Hey guys, he is here!! Good Guy Greg!
 
I don't care what anyone else thinks - I'm pumped. I've been waiting for this for a while. I love the GTA games and this is the one thing I wanted from E3.
 
Well, I hope they held on to release the PC version together with the next gen consoles so it has better graphics. We'll see.
 
This is good news! im excited... but not enough to pay full price for a game that will be basically a year old by then. Bargain bin for me.. $20 or less. Way to many games out for PC anyway.
 
Good news... but the delay just means I will probably wait til on steam sale. During all the type I may have been tempted to buy at full retail on PC. Now I have gotten over it and can wait.
 
Given Rockstar's recent history of PC ports, I think I'll pick up the PS4 version instead... IF it doesn't have the frame rate issues it did on last-gen. Either way I'll wait for the game to be in users' hands before making a buying decision.

I would say this time around the port will be much better, considering the new consoles are x86 arc, and if it runs well on next-gen, it will run better on PC.

While true, the game was originally built for last-gen consoles, and I don't think that R* would have spent too much time optimizing for the switch to x86. Most of their budget probably went to improving assets if the PS4 E3 trailer was anything to go by. But I'm just bellyaching now, even though I am really cautiously optimistic. All shall be revealed "this Fall" ;).
 
I hope this is a good port. I liked 4... but Iunno... Red Dead was hella fun though. I hope this game doesn't blow on PC. Doubt I'll get it full price, though. I was never as hyped for GTA games, as most people were.
 
Sweet! It's about time! Eagerly awaiting some reviews and performance results to decide if I'll be picking it up at $50 or waiting 'till it's more like half that...

I would agree, if this was just a PC release, but this will be a multi-platform release and they would not treat the new consoles like they did PC last time. They did fix the FPS issues in gta 4, but it took a long time, this time around should be different because whining PC gamers seem to be ignored, however the wining little console kiddies are pampered and burped. :D
 
Has anyone not read into it? The games graphics have been hugly bumped and view distance widened. It's going to look awesome... In fact from their trailer it does look awesome. I can't wait...

How so? It's been pretty clear all along they were doing a next gen and PC version of GTA V to be released somewhere down the line and get a couple million double purchases under their belt. I doubt if any other game from any other publisher has ever entered the equation even a little.

They are all too busy whining. The visuals are seriously improved.

HA doubt it. This was probably the plan from day one. They are selling the same game to people twice. maybe even 3 times. People with money will buy it. They already made their money anything from here on out is just icing on the cake.
 
At least we are guaranteed something that will look better than the release for the last gen consoles and something at least as good looking as the next gen consoles. I wonder what the requirements will be for this.

And also on the XB1.

I am so glad that I did not impulse buy GTAV for the X360 when I saw it for a good price over the weekend.

And PS4 ;).

Only reason I got GTA V last gen was because I needed a replacement PS3, and the GTA V bundle was cheaper than the standalone console at the time. Probably going to get for PS4. For some reason I just can't get into the PC versions of GTA...

Did you ever try GTA 4 PC with a controller? I use 360 controller and it plays just like the xbox version, but with better graphics, and when you add mods, it really adds to the game.
Some really cool mods out there that actually change the game not just add cars or better graphics.

After they way they fucked over GTA 4 PC users with the GfWL crap (refusing to remove it even though the server is shutting down and then posting an arrogant message on their Steam page), they can take GTA V and shove it up their collective asses.

I would like to get back into PC gaming, but I have decided to change careers and go back to school and thus I have to be much more careful with my money. Consoles provide a tremendous value with regard to that. I could never get into the PS consoles because I could never get used to the weird controller thumbstick layout. It cramps my hand over time.

Besides, what we do know is that when it comes out, the PC version may take another 6 months and 6 patches before it becomes playable :eek: :p

Between steam, origin, uplay and humble bundle i have purchased around 50 games for about the same price as a new console game. it would seem that PC is the best value for gamers. and my system is pretty old.
 
Time go buy the game that you already own. As was predicted when the game was released over a year ago.

Yes, I am one of those who prefers to play games like this with a controller. Like I said, I don't know why it's like this with me because everything else being equal, the PC version still runs better and offers a superior experience relatively speaking...
 
Probably my favorite comment so far is "Thanks console gamers for playtesting this."
