[QUOTE="DanielDust"] GTA IV is perfect if you can play it and you don't call a game bad just because of performance issues. SR2 yes, crap game and not just performance, everything is.DanielDust
no its not pefect, its the worst optimized porting result ever created. The way it handles resources is a mess and the way it connects them to build up the visuals is terrible.
Having recently played GTA SA, I don't agree with you.Performance is decent after the last patch because I did had some problems thanks to the previous patch (even tho the latest one should do nothing for performance), but I can't complain because I don't have a graphics card with 1.5 gb of RAM for all the textures...yes it does need that much, because it's the most complex game released so far, Crysis pales in comparison. Considering the requirements that are justified, I am pleased with performance and if you think GTA IV has texture problems, you should play GTA SA, which I'm pretty sure I have at least 4 times the PC to max it out and textures pop up quite frequently.
But no use arguing with you, it's obvious you don't judge games by quality, just polish, which I do not look after. If I were like you then Empire TW would have a 2 score because performance is horrible, but because it's a great game, it deserved way more and that's why I gave it as much as I did.
Well i never experiance a popin texture issue in san andreas. If i played for many, many hours at vice city, then some textures took a while to appear. Gta iv however, i even see objects poping all the time. In comparison with every other open world game or a demanding game, gta iv is the only one that it looks like that objects are bonded together in a very poor way. Thats why i say the way it handles graphics is terrible. Whatever the case the statment that i dont value quality is untrue, example gta sa was a much better game than gta iv, due to better, story missions, characters, bigger map with diffirent cities and more weapons and vehicles. Let alone the superior quality of the mission variety and the soundtrack. So how can i not value quality? Another example will be a very unpolished game like clear sky, story wise its meh, sound wise and voice acting is even worse, the gameplay is unbalanced and buggy with homing grenades, weird ai, poor combat balance and half arsed gameplay features. So what can i value? Another one will be cryostasis, nice game but how i am supose to enjoy it when it uses only one core on a quad core cpu and it lags like crazy. Those cases optimazation is necassary. An optimized and polished game like mass effect however.....well i didnt like it, i thought it lacked content, story quality and good gameplay (combat for example)
