AlexJonesConspiracy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I don't get why WD should have any impact on R* at all? R* is exactly that: Rockstars. They do not give a sh*t. WD looks better, imo. GTA will be great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA will be great though. Gather around, here we have the classic graphic fanboy, as you can see he says it looks better. No mention to how the game will feel or play he will adore the game for just the pretty looks alone.

CTCCoco Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 They already know once they release it on PC it will outsell any other game in it's genre so they don't really care unfortunately. Plus, like it or not, consoles are where the most money is. There are way more pirated copies on PC than there are on consoles, and PC crown (a lot of them, not everyone) are graphic whores who wouldn't buy GTA on account of average graphics (in PC possibilities it is average). So they'd rather please their audience that will surely bring in the big money, and PC version will be ported sometimes later. All we can hope for is a proper port, unlike IV which was unplayable until patches started coming in. GTA IV, even with all patches, still sucks so much. I hope they fixed this and they give us a quality PC version like Max Payne 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyslady Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Is to get Rockstar to treat fans of a possible PC version for GTA V differently than a red headed stepchild! Maybe it will force them to realize that there is more fans of this game than just xbox or playstation. They may take PC players more seriously now that there is a "new kid on the block". Hey, Watchdogs is going to be released for wiiU also. I really do hope that Watchdogs makes them at LEAST sit up and take notice of people like me, who will NOT play a GTA game on a console! I play mine strictly on a PC. Why? Because of the absolutely fantastic MODS that you can not get on a console! So if they keep choosing to be releasing the PC version 6 months later, at least now I have something else to play. I am sure GTA V will be a great game, but it irks me that they choose to treat PC players the way that they have and then this new company comes along and releases their game on ALL PLATFORMS! It won't come out for PC. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it didn't live up to your expectations "AKA San Andreas 2" doesn't mean you have to hate a game like IV so blatantly. It's still a good game for what it is.. And if people like you just gave it a chance instead of hating it because it didn't have what you dreamed it would, you'd most likely enjoy it. Sorry, I am just sick of IV hate.. It's not a bad game, it's a really good game that only caters to people who are willing to give it a shot/have good taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"true GTA fans"? What if you can't have a console or play it properly, then you are not a true GTA fan? I will have to wait. Also, true GTA fans would never pirate the game, if you say they would pirate it then they are not GTA fans, they just want the game and they don't give a f*ck about give money to Rockstar to support the development of more games.

r34ld34l Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 They put lots of effort into the PC version of Max Payne 3 and it barely sold.

KudKid Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Oh, now there's two terms. Jesus, you're so stupid it's not even going to be fun insulting your sorry ass. And your opinion doesn't mean sh*t when it's riddled with so much idiocy. Little fanboy got hurt? The truth hurts kiddo? The fact that Rockstar does milk their series but NOT IN THE SAME WAY like the other companies? And my opinion means more than sh*t. Some will agree with me some will not. You're so stupid, Gosh, I can't believe people like you walk on this earth. Butt-hurt fangirl. Edit: Sometimes I wonder why do I waste my time posting things against Rockstar which are not even that "harsh" so to say. No wonder I'll get jumped on by fangirls like you. Pathetic, really, pathetic. f*ck you talking about? I wasn't fanboying Rockstar. I'm pointing out, along with other users I might add, that it's not the same f*cking thing as milking. Do you know the meaning of milking something? You do not know jack sh*t about what you're talking about and that's why your opinion doesn't matter. It's quite evident that you're mad about the different editions. But don't spew bullsh*t just because you're unhappy. Now, if you can't make a point, please feel free to call me or anyone else a fanboy to justify that sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAfan786 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 At the end of the day, they HAVE to release it on consoles first since the gaming market is much bigger than the PC gaming market. That is how a business runs in the gaming industry, and SOME of you PC knobs don't understand this, either because you are too immature or an ignorant person in general. It will obviously come to PC, no more than 6 months later IMO. Stop f*cking worrying and making kiddy threads like these. Oh and Happyness, they've done it with RDR and a lot of people STILL haven't noticed. This isn't going to affect V in anyway, it's a good business for Rockstar for money making and isn't a big deal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thc_404 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Complaining at R* for not making a PC version is like complaining to Toyota for not selling you a Nissan. Think about it.

Graphics are a huge part of any game, and I don´t want to enjoy GTA V in 720p at 30fps. I want to experience it in 1080p at 60fps with high res textures and a ton of optional effects that wont be available in the console versions. If you´re fine with the console graphics, then fine, go for it. But don´t go around calling people who want better graphics "graphics whores". And look up the word "whore" while you´re at it; you obviously don´t know what it means. f*ck you buddy. f*ck you in the ass. Yes, you are a graphic whore, otherwise you wouldn't find yourself so offended by my post. Excuse me for appreciating a good gameplay and story and being able to accept that GTA can have graphics that are nowhere near Crysis, Metro or any candy game and still be a better game than all of them. It's one thing for it to have really bad graphics, but IV had good enough graphics that I wouldn't mind playing V with the same level of detail as in IV and would enjoy without ever thinking ''MOM, WHY THEY NO MAKE MORE GRAPHIC'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how they are doing that, and how do you know exactly if they will release all there "exclusives" later as DLC? And will you stop saying there different ways of milking stuff? "super-milking, regular milking and outside the norm milking" It's basically milk or not. And before you say RDR and MP3, there are still items standing exclusive and not sold as DLC. Again, I just fail to see your point. This DLC sh*t is honestly just like near every game you will ever buy, it's becoming the norm, hell it is the norm! Why you or anyone would complain about it is beyond me. It's sure as sh*t not hindering ANY gameplay you will experience, just bonus. For the record, where I'm from it'll be too late to get any of the editions so I'm getting the regular one. Not even a pre-order mind you. I see this types of argument happen at almost every damn game and it's just annoying plain and simple. Bitch, bitch and some more bitching. I'm done with this as this is a waste of your time and infinitely worse, mine. See you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3ex2 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) This time last year no one knew Watch Dogs existed and now so many people are obsessed with it. Sometimes even going as far to say it is a GTA killer. don't make me laugh. ubisoft can't touch Rockstar when it comes to open world games. Loads of their games are hyped up and buggy or boring as hell. Lets say Watch Dogs is actually gonna be a really popular game. Look forward to Watch Dogs 2 next year then WD3/4/5/6 before the NEXT GTA (VI) even appears. Ubisoft will whore it out and drive it into the ground. Also if you Rockstar is turning into EA because of their DLC enjoy the even worse DLC for WD and the stupid 60 minute exclusive gameplay sh*t.

Gilly1987 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If it does end up coming out for the PC it will be like a year like last go round. They do it because they know a large majority of people with gaming PC's will buy it for console and the PC. Moral of the story they're just money grabbing c*nts like every other business. People saying about they're are sick of hearing about PC gamers moaning, could you imagine if they said it was coming out for PS3 but they left an uncertainty over whether it would come out on the 360 or vies versa. Jesus Christ. I'm sick of idiots keep saying PC gamers are just graphic whores. If I buy a game I'd prefer to play at a high resolution with high FpS for smooth gameplay. If that makes me a "graphic whore" then so be it. The same people that throw that stupid insult will be the first to compare the console version on which has the best graphics where the difference is like some minuscule difference and declare their version better.

wwinterj Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It'll be out on PC several months after consoles. Consoles have the biggest customer base so that version comes first.

The point being is they are treating the PC market as a second though while Watchdogs will be releasing alongside the consoles like every other game does except f*cking GTA. First of all there's no crying so stfu Secondly you think it's ok we have to wait? How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot and you had to wait, would you be so blasé about it then?
