@coop36 @SuperDutchy @TxtBin Indeed. They never released Red Dead Revolver for PC either, but they would certainly be breaking with tradition if they didn't release GTA5 on PC; as every single GTA has been released on PC, albeit with a considerable delay since GTA3. I'd certainly expect a delay of at least a year, and a PC announcement after the console versions are out.

@yankeefanboy13 Waiting for EA games to go cheaper and then wanting to play them online is a contradiction in terms. If the game is cheaper, it's because sales are low. If sales are low, it's a given that EA will be switching off the servers anyway.

"The impact of a nuclear attack doesn't just destroy life and mangle buildings; such a profound expulsion of energy also disturbs the forces of nature, creating pockets in space with their own gravitational fields."

What do you do, throw bolts into them? Doesn't sound all that original to me.

I'm now wondering if D3 was as bad as it was because of Activision's interference or because it lost some of its most important creative talent from the first two games, leaving a bunch of immature, overgrown kids to develop it.

I'm hardly a fan of Apple's lockdown policies, overpriced hardware or excessive litigiousness, but if there's one thing they cannot be justly criticised for, it's the annual model updates. Why should a company be criticised for improving its hardware and software?

The problem is with the compulsive upgraders. I mean, why the hell do you people feel the need to have the absolute latest iPhone or iPad? The older ones are perfectly adequate for the job at hand. The sense that having anything but the latest Apple iDevice only lends credence to the idea that Apple's products are more a fashion statement than a practical tool.

If you have a problem with the highly frequent upgrade cycles, here's a tip - wait two or three iterations before you buy your next one.

@Trickymaster You mean like GTA 4 didn't run on anyone's PC for several years? ;-)

RIP Psygnosis.

May have a round of Shadow of the Beast later on to remember them by.

My 12-year-old nephew says otherwise - his entire games collection is on disc.

@KamuiFei PCs *are* leaps and bounds ahead of consoles, but there are very few games that actually make use of this tech nowadays. Most of the best stuff on the PC at present is very lo-fi, and my 2008-era PC with a Radeon HD4890 card and Phenom X4 is still more than capable of playing the vast majortiy of current stuff at full details and resolution. In fact, my poor 6-year-old laptop can play most of it.

I love my PC and it is still my primary platform whenever I can avoid Steam and DRM, but the fact that it is no longer about the tech is something that the more elitist PC gamers are in denial about. They scream DirectX 10 and 11, higher resolutions, more detailed textures and so on and so forth, and I say: try and seriously show me a significant difference when you're actually playing the game and not studying every minute detail of a screenshot.

@im2cool123 Just as long as the turtle eats the hamster.
