PC Version of GTA V Discussion

[Euan]

To call people ' noobs ' for preferring consoles is just pathetic. It's down to personal opinion - you ranting with your fellow PC lovers will not make anyone change their mind.

[brian.]

Let's just get caught up in one detail - I was a noob once, so for me, it's totally legit and it's how I see it - but let's get caught up in that one detail and not notice the respect for kids and shared gaming and stuff, so no one messes up your PC and other good reasons like family time and stuff. Let's just ignore that I imply not everyone is a noob and it's just more sense to share a console than share a PC if it's your PC and you need to make sure kids or others don't mess with it.

 

Boring. You'll be singing my tune within 5 years anyway.

I agree! 5 more years on their shoulders!

I do not have the biggest beast of a PC, but I can't go wrong with this..it pretty much tackles any task thrown at it...exclusively GTA gaming, minor video editing, browsing>multi tasking and online poker! lol

 

mother board; MSI Z77A-G43

 

CPU: Intel i5-3570

 

video: Palit GEFORCE GTX 650 (OC Edition) 1024MB GDDR5

 

SSD: Plextor M5S 128GB SATA 6Gb/s | (will get a Seagate 2TB HHD soonish)

 

Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB x 2 (16GB)

 

Power Supply: Aero Cool StrikeX 500w 80plus

 

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit

 

Controller: XBOX360 wired controller for Windows

 

 

 

But I'd definitely take this over any next gen console any day... back in the day I was a PS2 fanboy and ignorant about PC's. The console market is mostly for "convenience" that being play on the television in the living room..most consumers are clueless that they could hook up their LCD or LED television to their PC and experience the orgasmic graphics and power of PC....

 

Knowing what i do now about computers......I'LL NEVER EVER BUY A CONSOLE AGAIN LOOOOOL It's amazing how powerful and versatil PC's are!!! <3 my PC

 

great post btw!

 

You will be fine, but don't hook up your TV to it, input lag is big. Buy dedicated monitor, you can get big and really good one for 300$/€, maybe even less in US.

oh i see, wow i will have a blast playing GTA V for pc when it's finally release and once i get to play that game.

[Edward-Is-A-Flunky45]

 

 

I understand. It's all personal preference, really. It just seems so odd to me specifically because i'm like a caveman when it comes to consoles.

 

 

I actually never play racing games. Ever, lol. Fighting games, though. The last one i touched was MK9, and it was great, to be honest. I enjoyed it even with my keyboard. Took a while to get used to for sure.

 

Well, I was exaggerating a little. Keyboards can work for fighting games, but the main problem is that you often have to press so many buttons so fast, and in several combinations, that most keyboards except dedicated gaming ones tend to flub up stuff. The motions are very precise. There are quite a few "keyboard warriors" in the fighting game scene but they take a lot of skill to use correctly.

 

The best controller for fighting games would be an arcade stick with an actual 8-way joystick and 4-6 buttons, but those cost a lot of money.

As a Starcraft player I don't see a problem pressing buttons so fast (especially when I play Zerg) on PC.

oh linux.. Just imagine if software and hardware devs would drop windows and started working on linux..! Does anyone realize that if Linux support was greater the games would run even better on it.? It is my long lasting dream to get more linux support from hardware manufacturers with better driver support, harware support, software that was getting a bit more love for linux.. damn... PC gaming would shine if everybody stepped up and harvested the true power of linux..
Lets hope that steambox will get more stuff shifted to better linux support..

FYI Big linux fan but the support sucks for it.. Great community tho..

[napoleonic]

no lol, Open GL is a mess when it come to being a standardized API... there's a reason why outside Carmack, nobody create commercial game engine with Open GL anymore, sad truth is, PC games are depending from Microsoft at it.

Holy sh*t this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1my5e5/remember_the_gta_v_xml_file_from_the_xbox_360/

emember the GTA V .XML file from the Xbox 360 version that contained references to a PC version? The same file from the PS3 version also has a lot of beta changelogs and detailed bug reports left over, including reports tied to PC, DX11 and x64.

Some interesting lines:

• •**PC users please do not grab this build (yet)** oPC build has ran into some late issues that seems to prevent it from loading.
• •PC build not tested today.
• [PT] [PC] Player is asked to be signed in on the PC when loading or saving games, this causes issues on PC as there is nothing to sign into yet

 

and it just keeps going on and on and on..

ANYWHORE PC comrades relax, take it slow and ...... NOOOOOOOOOO WANT IT TOMORROW !

And it says since 2009, and it seems like the PS3 XML is more detailed than the 360 and I think this means that PS3 is developed earlier than 360? So basically the PC version has been developed alongside the PS3 versions.

[FrostKiller1]

 

 

Grew up with a PC and GTA, myself.

 

I mean the very first ones, too. Top-down style. Ah, i miss those times.

 

As someone who has been using a keyboard and mouse for everything and anything PC related since i was around 6, i can say that i could not wrap my head around a controller and why anyone (Even casual gamers) would pick it over a simple WASD keyboard.

 

I have an Xbox 360 and i bought it for Red Dead Redemption. I don't know if i should be ashamed to admit that i just couldn't play at all, at the start. I literally could not focus at all on the actual game with my concentration being completely occupied by attempting to comprehend the needless idiocy of such an imprecise device in my hands.

 

I sound quite ignorant and stubborn, i know. But it's just the way it is, lol.

 

EDIT: Above post! It's happening!

 

DOUBLE EDIT: Nevermind. Hopes and dreams crushed.

 

There are some genres which keyboards are terrible for: Racing and Fighting games being the two biggest culprits. Personally, I prefer controllers for all genres except shooters and RTS's, but I don't play those genres that much anyway. Also my opinion is biased by the two genres I play the most being the two mentioned above...

 

For the sake of an example, I cannot imagine anyone doing this on a keyboard:

 

 

 

 

 

 

If we can do this:

 

 

 

Why cannot we do that?...

 

There are controllers for PC too.

[Basical25]

I personally play GTA IV on PC with my PS3 controller, just because the driving is more fun with the sticks. Shooting isn't as fun on a controller though.

[nikobellic91]

This shows that PC has been in development since June 2012... probably before.

[zarate]

Just imagine the possibilities at modding!

 

Adding San Fierro + Las Venturas + countryside from SA to the map of GTA V. That would be f*ckin' awesome!

Well PC was being developed at least since 2012-06-11 where they mention PC for the first time

Well that reddit topic is worrying, what with the pointing to microtransactions in the multiplayer. Well, it was to be expected.

 

But it's also good, seeing as this is a beta testing log and it mentions a PC version multiple times.

I'm not an intem purchasing person, but I might accept it for really good stuff or dlc content in GTAO like weapon pack, interesting properties (this specially I could divide the price with some friends, buying a property as a HQ place for my crew)... but buying money? I'm not going to do that ever

 

I'll be a broke, hobo player, but I'll keep my dignity.
