PC piracy and gta4

Maybe we just need another Hot Coffee mod for this game.  Controversial mods generally sit pretty well with PC gamers.

 

Digitized nipples FTW biggrin.gif

 

I mean sh*t if R* does that I'll buy another copy of this game... even though I already own it.  Just to support the nipple industry. tounge.gif

YUCK! barf8bd.gif . No more games for PC? Oh No................... I hate console! cryani.gif

I hate consoles too.

 

Makes me feel like I am on a MAC.. so controlled. It isn't your machine you cannot control the machine. No fun.

I like PCs for the speed and the overclocking. PC hardware has already beaten consoles.. but the software on consoles if far better when it comes to being clean and fast.

 

Shame to see giants like Nvidia and Intel to fall. sad.gif

Stop being melodramatic.

 

Intel are going nowhere, their processors will still be used in office/home desktops and laptops and Macs.

 

Nvidia are going nowhere, their GPU is being used in the PS3, that provides high volume sales, with a better RoI than a PC gfx card.

 

20 years ago the PC (as in IBM PC clone) was a joke when it came to gaming, 10 years ago it was at or near its peak, today software houses and hardware manufacturers seem hell bent on making it become a joke again.

Hey man the pictures show I'll pay for good games, no piracy!

The small CPU, it's awesome and stylish too

Are you kidding? Because a lot of my friends fall for that too. No they're Xbox 360's under those monitors.

The CPU is not as crucial as the GPU now days. Dual core computers can run most games very well... if they have a good GPU. Quad core computers are great; but there are not that many people who afford that sort of stuff... just for a minimal performance increase. But this isn't talking about the piracy issue... nor is it talking about titties.

It depends on the game, GTA 4 runs much better on a quad. colgate.gif

Well I did paint them black, I think white is an awful color when it comes to technology products. There is a lot more going on in the room. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures. The middle machine is my monster. It can control all 4 monitors. And my speakers are all around, the sub woofer might not be showing in any of the pictures, can't remember?

 

When I'm codding, I can play a game from the Xbox, or computer, or watch movies from another screen. cool.gif

GTA4 runs great on my dual core... I'm happy with it... when a game comes out that demands quad core technology I'll prolly buy it. But for now I'm happy. Games for PC's today are based mainly on the GPU though.

It runs fine on my system man... I don't have to upgrade yet.

 

But this thread is not about systems... it's about the effect or inferred effect of piracy on PC gamers.

 

But I don't think that there is going to be much more input into this issue; I think that maybe this thread should be locked.

 

Does anyone have any new input into why devs treat PC gamers as pirates?

Performed worse on my [email protected] than my [email protected]

Some guys can get their quads to 4GHz+, now that is worth the upgrade from a dualcore, any less than 4GHz and your far better off with the E8' series dualcores for gaming, as any fule kno...

 

To claim, as you repeatedly have, that the game fully utilises all 4 cores is rather dishonest, some would say bullsh*t.

It would never use any more than 60% of total cpu power across all 4 cores and on an i7, a true 4 core chip, it only uses around 30% of combined power.

So that pretty much shoots your typically disingenuous claims there out the water.

 

It is a pretty poor example or advertisment for people to get a quadcore to say GTAIV uses it, GTAIV is one of the most badly ported games I've ever had the misfortune of, wait until many good games get to utilise 4 cores before considering wasting a few hundred notes on what is essentially an underused technology that is only really fully realised in specialist apps and video encoding.

 

Talk of piracy as some kind of evil demonic terrorism-sponsoring crime is quite comical really, the irony of the entire GTA series is about complete disregard for law and order and is all about subversism, yet they fulfill the prophecy themselves by releasing such a poorly coded pile of sh*t that I can only ever consider pirating the next release, as a result of their complete disregard to their PC fanbase, if only to get my money back for this failure.

 

I wont dwell too much about my conscience over that.

No GTAIV is second, SR2 is the first bad ported. My friend bought it, and lol that game su*k big time. Hope this thread not locked, sometimes we had to get off topic.

man I think that you'd be happy with the game if they come out with a few more patches. I think that most people would too.

Products for the PC are rarely optimized the first time around. Get used to it because you are a member of an Elite Beta Testing Crew. Well... that's the way it feels anyways confused.gif

Youre completely wrong m8, it does use all four cores, i use a G15 + Everest Ultimate monitoring the use of each core. It stays near 70%, up to 90%.

I used affinity to disable two cores and run GTA 4, GTA 4 runs like sh*t, i lost like 17 FPS and the two cores get a 96 - 100% use.

DRM has been around for ages now and it's done nothing to stop people getting the game through illegal means.

 

in general though pc gaming just isn't a popular with the masses it's not one single thing killing it its a combination of all different factors.

I totally agree. SecurRom and DRM gave me the most problems. I have the original game, managed to load it after disable virual devices and a bluetoth dongle I have, wrote for them in another thread,

and yes I admit, I download and played a piracy copy wich is bypass DRM and securRom and all the online things I need to sign in before I play the game.

and game load without problems.

 

So now tell me why I bother next time to buy a \game wich give to me various problems?

 

So PIRACY I don't think it kill PC gaming. Look at the titles that already out and already developed for PC. And you see that quallity titles can sell quite well.

 

SPORE,SIMS, FALLOUT3,CRYSIS SAN ANDREAS, VICE CITY, too mention just few titles from present and past that went well on sales.

 

Conclusion, if a game is written and developed from PC to PC it will sell well, no matter the piracy.

Yeah true. I did try to link people to a thread about piracy and the PC gaming industry but a lot of people don't care. Still I will advertise this thread till you guys are all sad face.

mate... titties are just as important an issue as PC gaming piracy or F*cking world peace... don't try to downgrade the issue.

But you know I'm just joking with you... I really don't care about the titty thing... just for the record.

The point is none of the cores run at 100% with GTAIV.

The programs I use at work that fully utilise all 4 cores are video rendering programs and SQL, they will max out all 4 cores the instant the apps are run, there are a good few others out there and GTAIV is not one that I'd class as fully utilising all 4 cores, look at how the i7 CPU scores 30% on average, only uses 78% on my [email protected] , 100% when clocked down to 3.3GHz.

 

To reiterate my initial point, it doesn't need 4 cores, 2 highly clocked will do more than it can use and doesn't max out a single core when on a quad, that is clear.

 

To only use 78% of my cpu shows there is something clearly rotten in Denmark with this port, though it once used up to 95% in a benchmark on my Vista64 system, usually 80-85% on Vista64, though that's more than likely the other sh*t that Vista lays on you, regardless of what you disable in services.

Wrong again, get a quad, oc it to 4Ghz, run the game - check the performance.

Then disable two cores, using the same clock and GFX settings, run again - youll face the truth.

GTA 4 has a great mutli core optimization, itll use all four cores.

There is no way out of this - whitout a quad you have a sh*t game experience playing this game.

I agree with you on the virtual boobs debate - there are many games i have only persisted with (like Tomb Raider) because of the quality of the pixelated honkers. If only Rockstar had not wasted 200k on the gheyness that is securom and instead invested the money on nipple development, we would not have to put up with big black electricians tape over the strippers boobs.
