GTA4 on PC worth buying

Basically what im asking is, have they fixed the major glitches and performance issues that were in the game when it came out ? Ive already played the game on xbox 360 but fancy playing it again, but on PC since I like how the graphics look on it. I saw the complete edition on PC for like 18 quid and ive been tempted to get it.

I can assume my system will be able to run it as good or better than it does on the 360 right ? specs in sig ;)

Might be some low frame-rate spikes occasionally on GTA IV but in general it'll probably run maxed out, I say probably because I don't really know much about AMD performance, I personally have no problems maxing it now, on a Q6600, 4 gigs of RAM and the same a GTX570.

You shouldn't just want it for graphics tho ;) gtainside

hey i bought the whole package, GTA IV and the episodes for 8 bucks on steam.

So check steam.

You have a quad core so yes its worth it. The PC version is amazing I originally had it on 360 but pc is so much better.

Do exactly as I say though download patch 4 manually of a sharing site and install that and dont do any of the games auto updates. If you do the performance is broken from 5 on and if you get 5 it forces you to update to the latest or you wont be able to save your game ever. Patch 4 is the most playable and gives the best performance.

Don't buy it for PC! :cry:

Most of the current problems that the game has seem to be random so it's a install and see thing for the most part. I have seen people with C2D running it better than people C2Q and Quad Phenoms. In some systems it will have random frame hick ups for no apparent reason in apparently no stressful moments and stuff like that. If it works in your system it is the best version easily, if it doesn't you will be so annoyed that it will be the worst version easily.

At launch it wasn't but I believe it is worth getting now due to patches and if you have very good specs and its quite cheap.

No stick with your copy on the 360 the game is not optimized and runs horrible.

IMO no, its very overrated imo. It doesn't run well either and i didn't find the game to be that amazing either.

It has its problems but generally it worked fine for me albeit at only 20fps :( Still, it's a fantastic game and definitely worth playing on PC.

I would suggest you try it, there's a lotof fun mods, the visuals are much better than the console version, and the story and gameplay are very well done. Most issues were patched away since release. Haters either have bad luck or tried it on release and havent touched it since

I could tell you whether or not I think you should buy it, or I could show you.

This was after 3+ hours of trying to get the game to work properly. It burned real pretty.

works fine for me with the latest 1.7 patch, dont know what the crying is all about. Sometimes there can be a drop in fps, but thats rare. It looks great as well and the mods for this game are amazing, especially graphically.

Also if this helps you only need to install the 1.7 patch on its own, dont bother downloading them all and installing them in order :P
