Only thing I hate about PC gaming is awkward controls on some games. (Mouse and keyboard)

And connecting a game pad is usually just a pain in the ass to configure. Just my opinion though. Oh no, here it comes!

Plus there is often problems configuring certain buttons to have multiple functions.

 

And on the note of the keyboard/mouse configuration; one of the major problems with games like San Andreas were the controls, most notably for aircraft. Piloting a helicopter with a keyboard was f*cking impossible with that game.

 

In any case, the PC fans who've been making a big deal about their superiority, and constantly bashing the consoles are making them selves look ridiculous, and honestly, no one cares about your computer's stats. People who post their system stats on their signatures are irritating everyone, and just mirrors your ignorant comments.

 

I'd rather just play games, and not configure my graphics card to the newest requirement every six months just to run the latest game on "epic high quality", meanwhile spending another $800+ just to meet the recommended requirements.

 

 

This is why consoles are more popular than PC's for gaming.

 

 

 

I know everyone will want to flame me for this, so please voice your objections.

Now sorry, but I do NOT agree with you on that comment about San Andreas. Simply because if you know how to handle vehicles with the cursor buttons, you wouldn't say anything like that. My configurations were pretty good, since I've controlled my helis using the numpad 4, 5, 6, 9 buttons. I know Num 5 isn't available if you use a vanilla version, but the 1.01 update fixes this problem.

 

But maybe that's because I'm right-handed and can't be arsed to learn using WASD.... dozingoff.gif

The blur is very annoying, but it sort of makes GTA IV look more cartoony/artistic and sort of mixes in with the cover art. Without the blur, it looks very clear, but makes the horrible jaggies more visible, everything in the distance is also more visible, but that's what Rockstar used the blur for, to make it hard to notice the game loading in front of you which is pretty distracting

 

I'm using a "blur" mod that fixes all that. Also for controller i'm using my 360 controller and i didnt have to touch a setting smile.gif (and also the game runs on high settings with a quad core and ol' 8800gtx very smooth) AND also the mods makes the game fun to play again! No wonder i can't go back to the 360 sly.gif

Don't worry,i'm left-handed and i hate WASD.Can't stand it.If i have to act quickly i always push the wrong button,usually the ones surrounding the WASD keys.The arrows are the most comfortable for me by far.And if a game comes out that has a bit harder handling,or is unplayable on keyboard,i just plug in my Xbox360 controller.Devil May Cry 4 and Dead Space are really better with it.And i need it so i can bowl in GTAIV.

I didn't even knew that this game existed.I searched it and as i see,it has won awards,and was very well received.That's supposed to be an insult to us?That we had a great strategy game in 2004?I'll never understand this....we had Unreal 2004,Far Cry,Doom 3,MOH:Pacific Assault,The Chronicles of Riddick:EFBB....lol we had it better in 2004 than any console gamer....i wish those times would come back.At least they could have done this with WOW...if that was out back than...

Yeah you are obviously very savvy you had to buy several different devices that all do the same thing just so you have access to "exclusives". I must say that is a real master stroke on your part tounge.gif . There is a reason why I don't own a console anymore you know. To date there were only TWO games I was interested in that are not on the PC, that was Force Unleashed and GTA 4.

 

Well I know have GTA 4 on the PC and naturally it is much better on the PC than it was on the sh*tbox and as for force unleashed from what I hear about the game it is typical console kiddie crap and nothing like the great Jedi Knight series so I will live without I think.

 

The fact that you guys celebrate companies locking you into buying a certain console makes me laugh. Nearly every game that comes out could be so much better with PC tech yet instead of acknowledging that you actually praise MS and Sony for screwing you over. I personally don't think you should be bragging you are a "multi system owner" to me that is like saying "I like it up the arse so much I am going to keep crowing about it" but hey each to their own I guess.

agreed. i really can't see why people don't realize how much consoles end up costing them (just because they think pc's are a hassle/too expensive). i enjoy not paying 5 dollars a month in addition to my $40 a month high-speed internet as well as not being nickel and dimed for mappacks and updates. i enjoy not paying an extra $10 in royalties for games to companies that do God knows what with that cash. and i certainly enjoy realistically priced accessories (which are optional thank God) as well as the ability to upgrade my GFX card instead of camping out at gamestop for the latest and greatest console release.

 

i almost forgot about the reliability of pc's. it agonizing to wait for a month for microsoft to fix your precious 360 that has broken for the third time due to piss poor cooling. at least with pc's all you do is send one part back that returns in a week or so.

 

dunno about console games. but pc games often have massive staying power. look at the original half-life. 10 years and still alive thanks to a kickass modding community. i am willing to bet GTA IV will last far longer on the pc than it will on the console. (even with their precious lost and the damned "exclusive" )

 

and now i will gather AA guns for the inevitable paratrooper console trolls that will rain down upon my post. get an umbrella charlie...

Everytime a console boy loses his trust,Charming Charlie dances to "Another one bites the dust" biggrin.gif

We have come along way from the "will it come to the PC ?" thread. I remember we would get console cretins invading daily to laugh at PC owners and tell us how our PC's wouldn't be able to run a game as advanced as GTA 4. There is no getting away from the fact that GTA 4 could have been even better on the PC if they had put a bit more effort into it. However even the PC version as it stands it still blows the damn console version out of the water biggrin.gif .

 

It's also great to see a few console users making the switch to the PC and so far from what I have seen they haven't be disappointed either tounge.gif . So whenever we hear of a console user switching we should do the "another one bites the dust" dance, because it's one more of us and one less of them lol.gif

yeah? I played on console originally and tried the PC version on my capable machine and have to say it just doesn't run well enough to enjoy like I did on the consoles. My components are Q6600 @ 3.0ghz/6gb ram/ATI 2900PRO 512mb and I run Crysis at 1920x1080/Very high at 20fps, or 40fps at 720p. The game is just that poorly optimised that I have to disagree (In general, I get 10-20fps at whatever settings by the way...). This all said I'm no fanboy to consoles, I know they limit the technical evolutions in videogames as most developers will design their product with the largest audience in mind. If a 4870x2 or nvidias latest card is the only cards that provide a significant performance improvement on the console versions I must say I don't think GTA4 is very successful at all on the PC cry.gif

That's funny because my Quad and 8800gts (3 year old technology) begs to differ with you, I am getting framerates around 30 - 40fps and higher settings than the console mercie_blink.gif and at a res of 1440 x 900. If you are only getting 20fps out of your PC then there is something very wrong with your PC, even my duo2core and 8600gt can manage 20-25fps on similar settings to the console.

I can get around 20 FPS with a pentium D.

That doesn't even meet minimum requirements.

I've never tried this game at console settings (1280x720 and all the other sliders).

Yeah, thanks.

 

However, I think that buying a system only for it's exclusive content is pretty stupid. Each system has it's good sides which the other lacks. For example the only way to avoid the inconvenience of having awkward controls with the PC is to buy a game console.

Erm yeah that is the only way to avoid the "awkward" controls of the PC version is to buy a console !!!!!!!!!! Not that I find the controls in the PC version awkward. I find the controls on the consoles awkward and unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that if I have a console. If I have a PC and for some bizarre reason I find the mouse and keyboard awkward then I can do something about it biggrin.gif I can just plug a joypad into my PC, no need to go out and buy a console just because you don't like the mouse and keyboard lol.

No,seriously,the only "awkward" control i found is by bowling.I just plug in my Xbox360 controller and bowl a turkey.Driving,walking,fighting,i found the controls pretty neat.You have to adapt the first time,but that's because the Euphoria Engine is doing it's thing and the new movements need some getting used too.But lol at the "only way to avoid the inconvenience of having awkward controls with the PC is to buy a game console."excuse.

Well, first of all I said it was an example. (If you really want me to list a bunch of the inconveniences in PC gaming, I will do.)

Clearly you aren't even reading my posts before you start arguing back.

 

Second, it's all opinions. I do use a game pad for my PC sometimes (my wired 360 game pad, actually) and it does work on some games too (such as Crysis and GTA IV) However, on most games it's not supported. Now I'm sure you may disagree, but in my opinion that is just a pain in the arse.

 

Sure on some games, mouse and keyboard are also better to use as well (such as first person shooters) but as for other games such as driving/racing games for example, I much prefer using a game pad.

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention what a nuisance it is to actually get a game pad working on PC. (downloading drivers and sh*t... actually I think that's another annoying inconvenience with PC gaming in general, the constant requirement of updating drivers is just a pain in the ass)

 

I also find it pretty hilarious mr "moderator" is fueling a fan boy war by being a fan boy himself. Hahah lol.gif

Oh wait, I'll just fire up the awesome, added maps, moddable, higher res version...Guess which one it is.

Updating drivers is easy and I always await the effects, sometimes they can improve game performance.

So according to YOU the only way to avoid the awkwardness of the PC controls is to buy a console ?? That is word for word what you said. As you can see I do read your posts and you DID say it was the only way to avoid the awkwardness of the PC controls.

 

 

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention what a nuisance it is to actually get a game pad working on PC. (downloading drivers and sh*t... actually I think that's another annoying inconvenience with PC gaming in general, the constant requirement of updating drivers is just a pain in the ass)

Yeah because you don't get anything like that on the consoles do you ????? oh wait what version is the PS3 firmware now ? How many updates to the 360 firmware have there been ? At the end of the day consoles have just as many headaches as PC's yet I doubt you will accept that. Oh and I should add a driver update on the PC has absolutely ZERO chance of bricking the PC. Not something that could be said for your lovely consoles, I have seen plenty of stories about consoles being made completely worthless thanks to botched firmware updates.

 

 

I also find it pretty hilarious mr "moderator" is fueling a fan boy war by being a fan boy himself. Hahah  lol.gif

Ran out of arguments eh ? so you had to wheel out the "boo hoo you are a moderator boo hoo you shouldn't do this". You are a troll you come into the PC section to purposely cause trouble. This was a topic where PC gamers could show how the PC version excells over the console version but in you trotted spouting your typical console bullsh*t. Now please take your trolling elsewhere you clearly have no interest in GTA 4 on the PC so why would you even be in the PC section ?

Updating on a console is far easier and far less frequent then on a PC, there's no need to uninstall anything as well. It's all automatic and simple.

If you are trying to imply that consoles need to update all in the same way as PC's do, I fail to understand your logic.

So you are just going to ignore all the posts here from people clearly saying there is no problem with using joypads ? I have used PC's for decades and never had a single problem with using any peripherals with the PC. I have used joypads, joysticks, steering wheels, Yokes and flight sticks with the PC. Yet here you are saying "the only way to get away from the awkward controls of the PC is to buy a console". I am sorry but that plain cobblers and you know it but you won't admit it.

Updating a console is not far easier or less frequent, the PS3 has had dozens of firmware updates, I think so far it has been something like 1 update a month, they even had to release an update to the update at one stage because the firmware screwed up people's consoles. A firmware update is every bit like a driver update many games will refuse to function if you don't have the latest firmware where as with a driver update on the PC games won't refuse to run if you don't have the latest graphics driver.

I have been at this for 20 years and I have seen people like you constantly talking bull like "the only way get past the awkward control of the PC is to buy a console". There have been several posts on here from former console gamers that are quite happy to say why the PC version excells. You seem to be the only one here that wants to rain on everyone's parade which makes me seriously doubt you even have the PC version and says to me you are nothing but a troll, the kind we use to see all the time when when we had a single PC topic to post in.

Updating a console is not far easier or less frequent, the PS3 has had dozens of firmware updates, I think so far it has been something like 1 update a month, they even had to release an update to the update at one stage because the firmware screwed up people's consoles. A firmware update is every bit like a driver update many games will refuse to function if you don't have the latest firmware where as with a driver update on the PC games won't refuse to run if you don't have the latest graphics driver.

 

Updating firmware on the PS3 is simple and ususally takes less than a minute since the updates are small. (unlike driver downloads for graphics cards)

Also there's no hassal of uninstalling previous drivers or anything.

 

 

Hahah, that's pretty funny. First of all, no I haven't run out of arguments, however it seems YOU have since now you are making up complete bullsh*t about my apparent trolling and lack of interest in GTA 4 on the PC. I have a lot of interest in the game, I love it far more then the console version. I am happy PC gamer too, sure I dislike some games because of their crappy controls which is far more common in PC gaming then it is on console gaming, but that doesn't mean I dislike PC gaming all together.

I have been at this for 20 years and I have seen people like you constantly talking bull like "the only way get past the awkward control of the PC is to buy a console". There have been several posts on here from former console gamers that are quite happy to say why the PC version excells. You seem to be the only one here that wants to rain on everyone's parade which makes me seriously doubt you even have the PC version and says to me you are nothing but a troll, the kind we use to see all the time when when we had a single PC topic to post in.

 

I've already said in this very topic that I prefer the PC version over the console version, but there you go again failing to read what I said.

 

I honestly don't care whether or not you believe I have the game. You are basically telling me that because I'm not here joining in on some GTA IV PC fanboy club, I apparently don't even own the game.

If you know a PC game pad that works with all PC games, please, tell me it.

Well I have never had a problem with the xbox 360 controller and any games on the PC. However I don't use it that much because I find a joypad to be restrictive and a childish way to play games. The only reason why I have a controller at all is because I was stupid enough to buy a 360 for GTA 4.

Yeah it's easy peasy on the PS3 isn't it :-

 

 

Firmware 2.0 was supposed to make enhancements to PS3 functionality, but since its arrival, many users have complained of experiencing slowed system performance, crashing and, in some cases, complete system failure.

If you want I could dig up lots of other horror stories that seem to happen everytime a new firmware comes out. But ehy it is all hunky dory apparently according to you.

Tell you what why don't you show us where in this thread you said the PC version is better, because I have checked all your posts and NOT ONCE did you say anything positive about the PC or the PC version of GTA 4. Infact your first post in this topic was just one "oh yeah what I don't like about the PC is blah de bloody blah blah" and you knew that was going to get a reaction because you said :-

 

Oh no, here it comes!

Now that is pretty blatant trolling to me. Not once in this thread have you said anything positive about the PC, it isn't about being part of a PC fan club, if you enjoy the PC version then great tell us why you like it better than the console version. If you find some aspects about the PC version then great tell us about them. However in your case all you did was bitch about the PC in every post.

Hahaha I love the use "childish" Oh yes, keyboard and mouse is serious business for real men, isn't it? ^^

Hmm, I guess you got me there. All I can say is I've never had any problems such as that and I'm sure that over the apparent decades in which you've used a PC, I'm sure you've encountered a few technical issues yourself.

If I did get those problems which you quoted, I'd just play on my 360 instead anyway. icon14.gif

I've said before that I like the PC version over the console version. To be honest I don't usually make a big deal out of as you do, because it will just annoy console owners. So just because I didn't comment again and again about the PC version being the far more superior version doesn't mean I hate the game or don't own it.

 

I think you are just jumping to conclusions a little too quickly.

 

Well since you dug up one of my old posts let me do the same:

 

Here's a segment from your first post:

 

 

However even the PC version as it stands it still blows the damn console version out of the water  biggrin.gif .

 

Now, I'm not sure about you, but I think common sense says that a post like that will spark a conflict and most probably piss off console gamers.

Whatever the case, I'm pretty sure that's some forum trolling done on your part.
