weaveribm Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I've had a little trouble with it (GFWL nightmare) but this game is so worth it, staggering to see such a large and very beautiful city simulation never mind the hugely immersive game and story set inside the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=OG4life= Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well,heres the stuff that I admire the most in IV: • The nice atmosphere during the day(especially during sunrises and sunsets) • The Euphoria engine and the realistic car damage(the games physics in general) • A lot of random stuff happening on the streets of Liberty City • A huge city • The game looks fine even on medium/low settings(please dont flame the sh*t outta me) • The new police system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannythyuhh Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 * For making pedestrians look different from each other...no twins or more look alike pedestrians like there where in Vice City and SA.

GTA_Godfather Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thank you, Rockstar! I don't think I fully appreciated how special and "classic" GTA III or Vice City was until GTA IV was released! You gave us nearly indestructible tanks, an apache helicopter (Vice City), unlimited ammo, no motion blur (or much reduced), no girlfriends/friends to take out, no emails to reply to, lots of fun side missions with cool rewards/cars... ...and thanks for allowing us to wash our cars and giving cops the ability to crouch in GTA IV. $100M well spent. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruXter Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thank you for Lazlow! I would love to see a gta spin off about lazlow that puts his side story together or the final gta to be lazlow as the planet's mob boss. his story is long. Thank you for Fernando Martinez. Thank you for keeping humor in the game. thank you for making the sand box a lil bit bigger Thank you for bringing almost all gta games to pc (would like cities though) Thank you for swimming and bikes. thank you for the 100s of Hours of game play Thank you for the 1000s of hours of modding and learning. Thanks for making a game that this forum is about so we can all chat. Oh yeah.. Um Thank you for GTACLANS.COM :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoCarlTommyFidoJohnson Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Hello, Rockstar's continued support surprises me day in and day out. After the fiasco with GTA-SA and the Hot Coffee Mod, I did not expect this game to make it's way to Windows. I was shocked once again. Rockstar, not only provided a good game, but it is a live world wit plenty of thing to do. Here's a run-down Over 200 cars 1000 of miles and areas to explore lots of songs and radio stations, not to mention Independence FM Pedestrians all look different. Watching Television in game. This was awesome when I first saw this. and many more.... I applaud Rockstar for taking time to support its work to Windows. This game as month, if not years of gameplay as in any of their recently published work. Also note that with torrent sites continuing to crack this release, I am even shocked that they still support this title. Great work Rockstar. I will support many titles in the future. Both Euphoria and Rage Engine has potential to provide realistic movement and great rendering. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vista Home Premium x64 ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus AMD X2 5200+ 2.71 Ghz 4 GB DDR2 PC 6400 Kingston over 700 GB HDD EVGA 8800 GTS 320MB 17' Dell E173FP Edited March 25, 2009 by NikoCarlTommyFidoJohnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulder84 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) I would say that save for the pc compatibility problems, GTA 4 has really been fantastic! Gameplay, realism (taxi rides, mobile phones, ped interactivity),game physics, etc... They really set the standard for today's pc/console games, and getting 10/10 in game reviews is an understatement... And the latest patch for the game was a real life-saver... Not only did R* prevented changes (and cheats) in mp gameplay, but it FINALLY stopped my game from crashing... So a GREAT THANK YOU for everyone in R* who has made this game a real success! edit: ...and also continuing the GTA franchise even after huge media controversies and lawsuits against them (hot coffee mod, etc.).

Dcrysis02 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Rockstar's continued support surprises me day in and day out. After the fiasco with GTA-SA and the Hot Coffee Mod, I did not expect this game to make it's way to Windows. I was shocked once again. The "Hot Coofee Mod" was available on PS2 too,a bit later.Simple tweaks and cheats can do it.If R* included "hidden" sex scenes in GTAIV(All versions...their all the same anyway...ports)both the PC and PS3 version could have been unlocked.At least i think so.

NikoCarlTommyFidoJohnson was surprised that Rockstar released GTA IV to PC, and not that there wasn’t some sort of hidden sex-game… he didn’t think that there would be a hidden sex-mini-game in GTA IV; he just thought that GTA IV would never be released for Windows because of Hot Coffee. I was a little surprised myself… Rockstar didn’t release any new PC games (after Hot Coffee was discovered) until Bully, which was released for PC on Oct. 20, 2008; that was 3 years, 4 months, and 13 days after the release of San Andreas v1.0, which was the last of Rockstar's PC releases prior to then (excluding the subsequent releases of v2.0 & v.3.0). I didn’t think they would ever release PC games ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point with that was that the PS2 version contained the mini games too,and they were unlocked like in the PC version.Did RockStar continued to make games for the PS2?This wasn't about the sex scandal,this was about money.Imagine if the mod originated on the PS2 version and a bit later the PC version.Do you think RockStar would have just abandoned the PS2 back then?No.They just had enough income from their console games to abandon the PC market for a while.They made more money this way.Pointing at the PC version doesn't make the "sex scenes" disappear from the PS version.

badguy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Rule No.1: Never release an unfinished game. Well didnt R* f*ck up pretty bad there.

stevvie Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'd personally like to thank Rockstar for GTA IV, Sure it has a few bugs but nothing compared to games like Empire: Total War. Also the VERY much under appreciated Bully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Obvis456 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks for a great game. I've been playing SP a lot, but I've been playing MP every day for a few months. And when the last patch came out all of a sudden the game was unplayable for me. Thank you Rockstar for having someone here to walk me through fixing it so I can play MP again!!!!

Goatman455 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I have to point out that in order to balance this thread it is necessary to realistically point out that all the fixes Rockstar have done to this point have been things that should have been with the retail release. In fact, my SLI is still slower than non-SLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DML Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I rate Grand Theft Auto IV as an ok game and addition to the series. Had it have been properly developed with the PC platform in mind, it could've been much, much better, but in this business money talks, and console manufacturers fork...good game developers up the ass. When you take into consideration the true potential which lies with these types of games on today's PC technology, and you remember the constant backseat the PC platform takes with Rockstar, and the delays we have to endure while our fellow PC gamers cave and become slaves to the console market, you too will realize that Rockstar deserve absolutely no appreciation from PC gamers (especially long-time ones). In conclusion, I'd like to thank the following entities for my experiences with Grand Theft Auto IV: - My money (and me for earning it) so that I can purchase the PC and the game - My Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 for standing up quite well in times of pressure - My Gigabyte 320MB 8800GTS for rendering the parts of the game that it was asked to render (until the patches, this usually didn't include what you'd expect SHOULD be visible on the screen) - My 24" LCD for obvious reasons - My keyboard and mouse for allowing the game to be played the way it was meant to be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbatron Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Got to agree with the sentiment. I honestly believe it is the best game I have ever played by some margin, and the programmers deserve a big thumbs up. It was buggy before the patches, but the only people who deserve a kicking for this are those who pushed for it to be released too early before it was properly completed (probably marketing and/or finance), to try and cash in at Christmas.

syrdax Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Before patch 1.03 I finished the game like 5 times and 2 of them were 100%, was playing on AMD dual core, about 2 weeks ago I stop playing because I was getting angry with the slow FPS when raining, last week I upgraded to Intel quad and man, the game is beautifull... I'm starting all over again, I never get tired of it. So many things to discover, so many funny conversations on the streets. Best game ever I played. Oh, and one important note and a BIG THANK YOU to GTA III, VC and SA only had 1 patch (I think that III and VC didn't even had one, this one has 3 now, meaning and showing that they DO care about PC gaming and they still want their game to run as better as possible.
