GTA V Release date for PC

[QUOTE="Cyberdot"]

PC gamers are better off waiting for it. Console version would be unbearable for their standards.

I remember a PC gamer saying that he bought a 360 just for GTA 5, and he was disgusted by how terrible it looks and the terribly low resolution feels like his eyes are gone. Now he regrets the purchase.

I do agree with him though. Consoles are made for fools with low standards.

Yeah, too many people are obsessed with graphics, but PC fanboys are pretty ridiculous about it. Complaining that a game looks slightly less pretty on a 720p resolution and 30fps because your computer that cost 5 times more can make it look prettier is just dumb. It's like spitting in the face of games that try to focus on gameplay or other features instead of pretty lighting and graphics, and is just flat out snobbish when you're talking about a massive game like GTA V that runs spectacular on 8 year old hardware.

As someone who mainly plays games on PC, usually around Very high- Ultra settings, I don't care if I can run a game at 1080p 60fps, I just care that it's a good game, or else I'd never touch amazing older games or indie games because of such elitism and a requirement for Crysis 3 level graphics.

There's a very big difference between 720p at 30 FPS and 1080p at 60 FPS. And PC gamers not settling for the former is not elitism at all. Why wouldn't you want better performance for what is meant to be an immersive experience? Elitism would be looking down on people who are console gamers or don't mind the lesser graphics.

As long as they code it better than GTA4 i'll be happy.

Ignore him. Dude acted the same way about the Playstation brand for the longest time till he "came to reason." Granted he does fit right in with some of the other snobs I've seen.

[QUOTE="Lost-to-Apathy"] Oh, yeah. This is why everyone hates PC gamers. Shit, I've been a PC gamer for like 15 years, and I'm starting to hate them, too. Not myself, of course. RevanBITW

The problem is that people are going so far as to refer to the difference as being an entirely different game. It's nonsense, as nice as a better resolution and higher frames are, it's insulting to look down on people because they enjoy games for gameplay, not for prettier graphics.

With that attitude, it's a wonder indie games are so touted by PC lovers when they're usually budget titles made with retro graphics that a toaster (or a NES) could run, and just insulting to developers that want to make great games for everyone, but get insulted becase some elitists would rather they limit their market to only a select few with incredibly powerful systems instead of making a well optimized game for more setups and multiple consoles.

Are you saying this cited pc gamer is overexaggerating and actually did NOT get their eyeballs scooped out of their skull after merely glancing at a console game?  Impossible! ;)

Seriously though, PC all the way.  I don't get this day-one/pre-order/full-price stuff.  Shoot, I'm still dinkin' around in Saints Row 3 here and there.  I can more than wait for GTA V to come out on PC.  I welcome the announcement, however.  Don't pull a Red Dead Redemption on us. 

Oh, and you know what else was an injustice?  INJUSTICE.
