They want you to whine about it, so you fell into their trap, you failed at expectations.

It's just a delayed PC release. Be patient. We will get RDR by Xmas time or so.

and yet soo many great games come out only on the console *shock* you sound very ignorant

lol i really dont understand the point of this. you must have just heard about the game to not know its console only. I mean was your disbelief so bad you had to create a gamespot account to tell everyone here what we already know?

The same way some PC greats never go to Console..... Tbh, never enjoyed GTA IV on PC, found it more suited to Console so I'm not fussed.

Relevant because?...oh wait it isn't.

I'm not interested in the game at all but lame arguments like "OMG the first game wasn't released so it's impossible" are redundant.

I would like to reinforce daniel's post by also noting the miracle that is Fable 3. Although the first Fable was on PC the second was not, but as we all know the third is coming to PC.

I ahve read that it uses the same engine they used for GTAIV and if that is true I will run the other way if this game comes to pc and then poke it with a very long stick before I install it. GTAIV had some of the worst optimization for pc I've seen, ugly shadows and ok graphics in general so unless they really fix their code this wont come near my pc. Also even on Xbox I think GTA didnt look that great and wasnt as smooth as I'd like.

But my guess on why this isnt on the PC is bacause they are having problems with perormance.

Might or might not happen one thing is certain R* barely managed to make it alive and it was all thanks to GTA IV, they found out the hard way that they will not be able to keep their company if they don't expand their games offer and their platform coverage.

They need to make more games and they need to release them everywhere they might make money and they're doing just that (the more games part at least, we'll see IF the multiple platform part will happen too, sooner or later). If not, good luck to them and hopefully they'll make a lot of money and still remain in the game, I don't want one of the best series in the world to go down, I still want my GTA V :P.

how the hell do we get 30 threads about the same thing here on the pc forum. Its a console game, microsoft and sony have invested alot in rockstar so theyll get it first. its not the end of the world, consoles can get a good game that doesnt come to pc and the world will still turn. I know there are advertisements everywhere and this game has been marketed like a blockbuster movie but try not to get all worked up about it.

It's obviously because of rampant piracy on PC.

I really really wish someone would create some sort of non-intrusive DRM, wich would keep the pirates away. ):

weve been over this over and over. Its not on pc, because not every game always is. If the ps3 and xbox 360 weren't virtually the same platform it would only be on one or the other.

Number 11 of all time is quite overated, its still pretty good and the framerate is playable most of the time on ps3.

*minor spoiler, highlight to see*An example of severe framerate issues, I came into a town after finishing a mission, some gang of guys were shooting at the townfolk... the framerate dipped down below 20 fps until they left. Its playable, but Im not sure if I should continue. If it doesnt come to pc, well this is as good as it will get, if it comes to pc il be kicking myself for not waiting.
