Grand Theft Auto IV

Why did they release this on PC without testing it? Or did they test it and ignore all the problems?

Anyone playing this game is sure to come across the graphics issues. The shadows flicker and are completely annoying. I'm running a dual-quad core Xeon with Radeon HD 4800 and the game flows great, but textures are missing on certain angles and the shadows are like dark strobe lights!

I will say the story line is cool, and really enjoy the gameplay, but I'm sorry to say the graphics issues really just make this a non-playable game! Depending on the angle of my view, some obstacles do not show up and my car crashes into them. It's like my car crashed into nothing until I adjust the angle of the view and then I see it was a legit object.

How can they release this and not hang their heads in shame? I sure hope they release a patch to fix these problems... and quickly! Waste of $49.99. Developers - please just wait to release a quality product instead of rushing crap out to meet holiday season.
