Such a disappointment...I mean the game itself is great, no doubt. But the thing is that the graphics engine for the game is done very poorly to say the least on my computer it works on "acceptable" "standard" graphics settings and i have 4gb ram and nvidea 9800gtx with 512 mb so you can imagine the set up needed to run this on anything more than standard... I am not going to go into detail about all the piracy protection shit they have installed as well, all I am going to say is that none of that shit works...long live the torrent rippers this was the first game in a while I contemplated on buying but after reading all the review's and tryingit out for myself I think i will wait for the next 4-5 patches to come out before i think about doing something like that again.

Re: Gta 4 pc

I heard they increased the image quality with better textures, more effects and improved view distance but it's still an enhanced console game "only". On a TV they look cool but both Xbox360 and PS3 are already behind again compared with what you can get in actual PC Games. That if you pay many times the price of a console for your PC and get a Game working without waiting half a year for Patches lol. I played GTA4 on the PS3 and the only thing I missed was mouse/keyboard control for the fights.

Re: Gta 4 pc

I was looking very forward to NFS: Undercover until the reviews came out. Everything that I would not want in the game is a reality and I'm disappointed. I'll wait until it's $20 before I get it so that it will be worth it. I recommend Midnight Club: LA. That game is lots of fun.

Back to the topic. :p

Gta 4 is not for any pc i guess...it sucks cos i like using the mouse/keyboard gaming feel on most games too.
