Recommended Posts

My guess is GTA V will be pirated for xbox 360 or playstation 3 in just a few days after release , so please..STOP SAYING IT IS BECAUSE OF PIRACY.

 

It's not just because of piracy. It's because of the amount of piracy.

...incorrect theory

 

GTA sale on console always surpass pc. if combined pc sale will be just about 20-37% of console sale.

 

console were mean for games , here .and pc , mean to replace typewritter , but can do way to much than typewritter moto_whistle.gif

 

why pc not release on same day ? obviously there will be leak (3-6 day before initial release - especially for big game like this ) on torrent(those bastards) . AND the war(like what happen to BF3) , where - they(EA) feed PC gamers EGO ... resulting a massive let down to console which hurt their sale(R* know this , PC version will be powerful than CONSOLE since unfair hardware things. but they dont feed those PC GAMER's). So by announcing that they are focusing their work on console + console footages trailer , it is really the right way to punish those PC GAMER. Will this hurt PC sales(if it available later )? LIKE HELL R* care? PC sale never been gooooooood to any R* product ... nevur. so they dont expect something from it AT ALL (like we-suddenly- are being alienated).

 

 

is R* really dont care about PC version . YES it is , see RDR - the demand was there , but... NOPE - CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE.

 

So now , we - no need to worry about PC version . There will(obviously) be available , if they not serious about pc version this time , they will just give us the crappy port(which i believe , R* will not do - their latest game ;MP3 is really good!).

 

Never be in their history(unless they want to made one) , their big GTA tittle unavailable for PC .

 

So here , R* dont want to over-praise the PC power (which is right way - since PC version will automatically be a lot more powerful) .

I'm so tired of this sht talk that I'm gonna be shorter this time.

 

For the damn idiots that still cry about PC piracy and saying how low their sales are:

 

1 - If games were released on PC and consoles by the same time and it was optimized for PC's and not a crap and lame port the console sales would be a lot less, and perhaps less by comparison, take Skyrim as an example.

 

2 - Everytime they give the sales number they NEVER count with steam sales or any other digital sales, they only count the physical sales that nowadays are less, I'm still one of those that like to go to a store and bring a DVD home, but many PC players buy them digitally.

 

3 - By releasing the game later for PC, most of the console players that have PC's actually pirate the game, and use the excuse that they already bought it once and only want it for the mods, and those are the ones that increase the numbers of illegal downloads.

 

4 - Consoles ruined the development and technology evolution for the gaming community, every time a new toy comes out the technology freezes in time because they reach a limit and they ruin it for everyone else and we the PC gamers are the ones getting screwed.

 

5 - Wii U was released 2 days ago in USA and just few hours after it was cracked and it's already running pirated games.

 

I could also mention what I've said so many times here that the PC industry is growing since 2008, that consoles are losing more then ever and also mention interviews of important people that say consoles won't last long with the upcoming generations, but there is no need for that, all I want is that the people happy with consoles that keep enjoying them and STOP TALKING ABOUT THINGS THEY HAVE NO CLUE and always haunting PC's with the piracy ghost, when your consoles are screwed as much and most of you are the ones to blame for pirating the games under the excuse of "I have it on console, my PC suck so I'm only testing it".

I think all of us at one time or another have pirated a game.  Sometimes it's because the game company doesn't release a demo and we never know if the game will even run on our PC.  But there are some game companies I will always buy from regardless of any demos and one of them is R*.  They have always delivered and I've felt I've always got my money's worth.  That's the key for me.  Did the money I spend equal or exceed the fun I had playing the game.  Even through GTA IV was a poorly optimized port, the multiplayer always had me coming back.  R* will always get my money.

people saying the only pirate certain games or don't pirate out of "respect" is like a thief saying they don't steal $100 bills because they respect ben franklin. notify.gif

Pirating is not stealing, it is copying something with copy rights.

Ugh. Why do you have "Sign the GTA V PC petition!" as your sig if you just want to pirate the game? You aren't helping anyone's cause and you're actually a really terrible person in general.

Right, but that has absolutely no effect on sales whatsoever. Do you think anyone really buys the game for consoles, then is willing to pay full price for a second copy of the exact same game, just for mods?

Incorrect again. Like I said, some games are even pirated way MORE than PC games so the PC pirated game straw man is getting a bit old.

Console games are pirated more than PC games? Is there a source on that or are you talking out of your ass?

they only release it on pc at all to be nice to the community. And testing purposes im sure so we should be thankful. I respect how they currently do things i think we all should, to me they are the number 1 innovaters in the world and have been since they move gta 2 to III. Making all our dreams come true, besides hitting some strange coochie lol

Try going on some private torrent or NZB site's and see idiot!

 

You may find out just HOW MANY titles there are for consoles.

 

Some of their sections for console games are bigger than the PC games sections.

 

And I am NOT going to put these sites up for you, because I could get banned for linking to pirated material.

 

Go find them yourself troll.

People saying console is ruining GTA is dead wrong. If it wasn't for console Rockstar wouldn't of spend $100 million dollars on GTA IV. Console gives the developer more money so they can make a better game. Don't think of games like Call of Duty that just want your money but good games.

Not good enough.

Obviously everything nowadays get pirated to a certain level but companies still manage to make a decent profit.

But with consoles it is much harder to pirate due to the strong multilayer ties xbox live.You cant just download a copy of halo 4 and put it into any old xbox and hey it works.It is much more frustrating to pirate a game on a consoles and the majority of people who do it live outside the states/Europe and a lot of countries where games arrive late or are just too expansive.

European and American gamers are what keep the console industry alive and healthy

I don't have access to any private torrent sites. I don't even know what an NZB is because I don't download pirated material.

Are you really telling me you're too lazy to even give me a source? If you even don't know where you got this information, how can you expect me to believe it's accurate?

 

I don't have access to private torrent sites, but you do. You know that I'm not going to pay money to get on a private torrent site I'll never use, so why can't you find another source? Besides, from what you've told me it seems that the only information you've gathered from these sites is that in some cases, console games sections outnumber PC games sections. That says absolutely nothing about how many people are downloading these games, not to mention that you've failed to take into account that there are a lot more console games in general nowadays than PC games.

Do you think The COD Devs have spent any money on their games?

So, based on your claim that doesn't have a source, you're saying that the PC market is tiny? If the consoles have - according to you - way more piracy that PCs, yet consoles dwarf the PC in terms of game sales, then that's the logical conclusion.

So I'm guessing you didn't read my post. I said not to mention them. There are some devs out there that just want your money and that's why Call of Duty will die. Just like Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero.

Funny thing, COD BO2 was released in simultaneous for Xbox360/PS3/PC and Wii U and in 24hrs made half a Billion. Do you think the Devs care with which was the platform that sold the most? They made tons of money thats all they care about, and even with the same formula, same graphics, same engine and a twist in the story they do it every year and they aren't selling themselves to the highest bidder crying for a Hit to sell more of their hardware.

 

I'm not a COD or BF fan and those games don't mean much too me, but if this is not being a marketing genius I don't know what else is.

COD will not die without having a fight

Call of Duty will die. When Next Gen comes out they'll still be using the samething with this tech on next. If they couldn't even get there games good on current tech than there is no hope for them next gen.

Hmm it is funny how xbox gets the dlc content first but then again the xbox version is the biggest selling platform.

It's sad to see a lot of you here argue and complain and slate each other over something that's bloody obvious, GTA V WILL come to PC, AFTER the console release, the same way it's always been. The one who keep bringing up RDR seem to ignore the fact that Rockstar brought L.A.Noire and Max Payne 3 to PC, and THAT type of PC gamers who just wants to brag about things, dude, go away, we all want this game, we will all get this game, everyone should just bloody calm down.

Well Xbox gets the best support.

 

PS3 = Bad Port

PC = Hackers

Wii = Hackers/Bad Graphics/ ( what I've heard a bad port )

 

So really the best console to buy Call of Duty is Xbox 360. Activision and Microsoft team up to get more people to buy the Xbox 360.

Ahahahhahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha lol.gif

 

Did Tony Hawk put up a fight? Did Guitar Hero put up a fight? No. People will just stop giving any f*cks and that will be it. There will be no "fight".

 

Nobody even gives Halo 4 two sh*ts anymore. And Halo wasn't popping out sequels at nearly the same rate as COD. Trust me, blops 2 is the last cod game anyone is ever going to care about.

Fallout was a PC franchise loooooong before it came to consoles. GTA has always been a console game. They're completely different games with completely different markets. You might as well be telling me that Sim City has a larger PC fanbase than consoles.

I think they will put in effort on their first next gen release,new formula and that or they will just try the battle field 3,halo 4 multilayer style.

Call of Duty sticks to their engine because they want to maintain a 60FPS ratio, even if it means sacrificing some visuals. I'm sure they'll be updating their engine next-gen.

 

 

Most of you hear do not know sh*t about the developers of these games.

Microsoft 'Halo 4' sales hit $220 million on launch day and is on its way to reaching $300m in global sales in its first week

 

Cod has a very successful multilayer formula and thus will keep generating sales and interest its like people complain but still play it regardless and as long as the same multiplayer element is still present, people will still flock out.
