Mine just turned up today, and after all the faff of that Social Club nonsense, Games for Windows etc., it auto-calculated that 800×600 would be the optimal resolution. In fact it sulks if I try and push it any higher than 1024×768, and I don’t think my system’s that bad (8800GTS, Athlon 64 X2 etc.) Needs some tinkering, I guess…

As does the quality of their reviews.

Simon: To be fair, EG comments thread punches above a lot of videogame website comment threads.

9! NINE OUT TEN!! What the hell is the matter with you Gillen!?, clearly you should have given an 11/10.

Screw the rules!!!

Man, I thought I’d never see the day where a 9 and 10 are the difference between ruin and paradise.

Yeah, those Eurogamer comments are a pretty depressing insight into a certain portion of humanity. Odd, too, given that they’re wildly out of sync with the style and attitude of the Eurogamer website itself. Usually the host site dicatates at least some of the direction of the accompanying comments…although perhaps there’s a certain critical mass a website reaches at which point comments threads will inevitably dissolve into AIM conventions?

Anyway…had this on Steam pre-order since it was announced. I’ve loved the originals plus Vice City and San Andreas, especially once I discovered the joy of SA on PC when it appeared on Steam. Made me swear to never buy a GTA game on console again – playing with decent controls and a stable framerate was a joy compared to playing them on my PS2 back in the day.

Having said that, it sounds like my computer could have a bit of a battle on its hands with GTA4…maybe time for a GPU update. Eep.

KG if we have the 360 version already, is this worth shelling out for? I hate the DRM aspect of it but I want to play multi player with a mouse, also 32 players sounds good. Also any news to if the DLC will come to the PC ?

Also does it have LAN options? if it does how many people to a disk?

Thanks,

Is it really that much better on the PC?

Tempting…..I just want a mod that makes people fuck off and not bother me. the only thing that stopped me playing on the PS3.

I ask again since no one answered in the doormen-thread; is there going to be cd-keys and anti-cheats in the PC version? I don’t see how multiplayer could work in practice without it.
