i beat it over the summer for the ps3... it had its moments but i'm not really sure what the big deal is with these "sandbox" games.

Jesus H. Christ, "games for windows live" is a massive fucking pain in the arse.

That was my review of the first two hours of GTA 4

wise move. it looks great and it's really detailed and there's a good story - it just should've had a different title. too bleak and grown-up in comparison to the previous gta's to feel like part of the same series.

Does it save your saves on a fucking LIVE server? If it does it can fuck right off, since it managed to "lose" my saves in GoW about halfway through.

Nothing gets saved on server. you don't even have to be connected to the Internet. you can also create a local profile. Not any different than many other games.

Apparently the PC version is a POS.

I've not run into any problems. The game does limit your graphical settings but only to stop it from running like shit. The business of installing all of the extra crap is a bind but the game itself runs fine on my system and, to judge by the reviews, better than the 360 version.

Probably just nerd rage getting out of hand again

The game requires sp3. says so right in the sys requirements. It also makes you install the .net shit at install.

The game was built to scale for future hardware, but apparently a lot of people think that just because they can run Crysis on high, they should be able to max out all the draw distances and still sustain a decent framerate.

Yeah, shame theres no proper "fix" for it. *Wink wink*

But honestly with all the anti piracy shit they added, they lost a sale from me. I was just gonna go buy it since 14gigs is a bit to download, but f it, yet another game for PC im not paying money for thanks to a bunch of shitty copy protection.

Holy shit this is the most fucked up port I've seen in a long time... My rig is by no means "old" seeing as I get a smooth enough frame rate in Crysis at max, yet it plays GTA on Medium (Wont go any higher...) at about 10 FPS... Maybe if I didn't have to instal 57 seperate SpyWare apps at the start like GFW, R*SC and SR, it would run a bit better...

The ball... Its been dropped... And from a record height too...

Hell no. At least RE4 was playable. The only issue RE4 has was it was ugly as shit until they patched it up...

GTA4? They dont even let you select what graphics options you want to play in. It pretty much forces you...

Plus I dont recall RE4 having to install bloatware just to play it...

I got this for the xbox, but I got bored to tears with it, having only played through it 2%, or something.
Guess this kind of sand box thing...well...just isn't my thang, even if I'd be able to play it on pc with nicer graphics :(

Shadows decent? That's all that matters to me. And I don't believe a word your moronic fingers just typed.

No cocksneeze, They lost a sale because i have to log into 2 forms of logins, and install securerom. On top of that, I have to register some bogus key online, and when i uninstall it, i have to jump through hoops to "disable" They key to my name again. 50 bucks to fuck with that shit? No.
