I mean, that one I can excuse, as it's a design choice that many games have made, though many more have chosen to give the player the choice of first or third person perspectives, a choice I appreciate and much prefer, but I understand the first person choice. also there is a photomode where you can enjoy your avatar, but yeah, a baked in third person option would be welcomed for sure

 We'll see though, Could be a delay between console release and PC, there's also the fact PC will need more testing work etc if they wanna add RT or any other internal improvements.

 

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. The delay could be disguised by making HSW a timed exclusive content & eventually release it on PC alongside the summer DLC later this year. They did it with The Lab radio station back in 2015, it was a PC exclusive content for about 3 months.

yeah but a radio station isn't an auto shop, can you imagine if Benny's was exclusive to any platform? the length of the event week doesn't mean anything since we know consoles are getting new content in the middle of the event, I doubt PC gets a delay, we get the upgrades as a patch the same day they release on console, but as was mentioned, it'll have to be free and that's why they haven't promoted it, they're hoping it'll slip under the radar

The silver lining of Rockstar releasing an indistinguishable identical game with slightly better graphics that in passing ones wife won’t notice is you can buy it and keep playing GTA Online without her realising you spent money.

still no third person, no train, no flying vehicles, and cops don't chase you, all things GTA f*cking III had, well VC on for the flying vehicles

Cyberpunk and Far Cry both make me realize how good GTA actually is. Especially after driving in either.

Would be great, but it feels more and more like a cope. We probably will have to wait for months without any info about pc. That could be avoided by just f*cking tellin us they gonna release it on pc, release date an a price of it. But they probably gonna pretend pc doesn't exist, yet they did mentioned consoles getting pc graphics without acknowledgment of Hao's workshop and other improvements coming to pc, like they are trolling .

I'm a first person guy. I want to play Elden Ring in first person... 
But even I think 1st/3rd toggle should be an option for most games.

yeah, I play most games in first person, except Watch_Dogs, GTA and Red Dead oddly, I've been getting used to ESO in third person, and sort of Fallout, but I always loot in first person in those games, not sure why GTA and Red Dead are more comfortable in third person, I think it has something to do with the first person camera not being that good, which is also why I understand when games don't have the option, getting one right, especially first person, is hard enough, though Bethesda do seem to have a handle on both perspectives

what? how has PC been treated ANY differently at all since it's release? if anything we've had it better at times, i.e. The Lab being exclusive

no seriously, this is some gaslighting bs, how, EXACTLY HOW, has PC been treated ANY differently, let alone as peasants?

if you zoom in with a scope, the LOD actually changes as though you're closer, just like the audio XD

Not much and just in the near area. The background stays sh*t.

Not to mention that players models are still getting unloaded at a certain distance.

Wouldn’t work with my partner. Every time she sees me playing GTA V she asks ‘Is this a new one?’.

I'm just pointing out it happened before. I don't agree with it nor excuse it.

 

Frankly this whole thing could've been averted had they mentioned PC in the paragraph talking about HSW, I get they were trying to promote Don't-call-it-E&E, but c'mon.

 

R* & their love of mystery and drama, hope they shed some light on it & clear up the confusion in today's newswire (or tomorrow's).

 

Anyway, I agree with you, I doubt it'll be delayed on PC.

GPUPerfAPIDX11-x64.dll

NvPmApi.Core.win64.dll

 

These files were added/updated when the last DLC was released. Routine update or preparation for a graphical update of the game i.e GPU testing ?

We'll see at first glance on SteamDB if we're screwed (no vlk/dx12/dlss files being added on march 15th).

I would not be surprised to have an update on PC, but not graphic, just DLC.

Edited March 10, 2022 by Niii
It looks like files used by devs to do optimization and diagnosis.

I mean, sure they've been quiet about PC lately, but I could swear they said more was coming to PC, don't know why they would delay it, their silence speaks volumes, it means it's free day one on PC, at least that's how I see it

good GTA actually is.

 not in terms of cars behaving like bouncy things or snap oversteer

In WD2 I could push the Kigan suv as Fast as I want with nos and it'd only slide when I wanted it to

Podemos empezar a llorar ahora, porque el marketing de Take2 apesta. Incluso Cyberpunk 2077 se siente terminado, es un gran juego por cierto si tienes una PC buena o una consola de última generación. El único juego que se siente de próxima generación.

with all due respect the game for me is still a slop 
Do you think it's hard to forget what happened when it came out? 
I like the game for two things nothing more but the rest is 0 out of 10 xd that they classified it as the gta competition I decided to wait for its release
and indeed
I started to value rockstar more because that cyberpunk makes others feel sorry XD
until epic games don't give it away it will continue to be crap xd

Even the AI of gta 3 is smarter

You are just further reinforcing my point...

Cars are bouncy, cars can have snap oversteer. A floored SUV squirting Nos should not be easy to control. 
I get if you like super arcady driving. That's fine. It's like Baskin and Robbins, 31 flavors. 
But there is a line between arcady and realistic, and compared to most open world adventure games, GTA's driving is on the more realistic side. Not that it is realistic. But that it is more realistic THAN Far Cry, Wildlands, Dying Light, Cyberpunk, Saints Row, True Crime, APB Reloaded, etc. Mafia I & II are the only one that really stands up in comparison. And Maybe Driver, but I'm not sure if that counts as 2 is the only one where we could run around and shoot. 
You have to start looking at dedicated racing games for better driving physics than GTA.

that's my preference,  push it into a corner and no slide kinda deal

but the BF Club in V is too far, it doesn't even slide with a handbrake.  

[CaliMeatWagon]

Is The Contract Clothing not showing as discounted for anybody else? 

[ACR]

Ghost crates bug when sourcing air freight is still present? If i wanna grind hangar business i would have to empty those ghost animal crates in order to continue sourcing. If R* deemed that bug as a threat to shark cards they would had it fixed months ago, but i guess not enough players are grinding hangar. I'm still skeptical whether i should touch hangar business because of this, i wouldn't want to get flagged for explot because of something that is completely their mess.

Previously these failed to show they were discounted (No % sign) but did have the discounted prices. Not sure about this time though.

From today's newswire:

March 15 marks the arrival of GTAV and GTA Online on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. In addition to introducing new graphics modes and other technical advancements, look for a range of new vehicles and more to hit GTA Online

Not mention to PC 

If they just Say...it's coming or not...it's coming later... etc, how hard could that be...

If the situation would be inverse...like they saying Expanded and Enhanced coming to PC and Zero mentions to console, console players Will be salty and angry like we are right now.

Well over a year ago Rockstar changed the Nightclub Popularity Missions from ~10% to 25%. So you only need to do 4 missions now to fill the popularity. And each takes 5-8 minutes to do or less. So less than an hour to go from 0% to 100%. And it drains 5% every in game day, or once every 48 minutes. Meaning you only need to do a mission once every 5 in game days, or once every 4 hours.

 

For people who are grinding the Bunker, doing Nightclub popularity just after a Bunker supply/sale isn't a terrible idea. You'll get 3-4 deposits in the 2:20 it takes to use up a full bar of Bunker supplies. An easy 5-8 minute mission that'll pay $30k+ if you count both the mission pay and safe money. It's also an excuse to go into the Nightclub and check the stock levels so you can sell that on time.

Well, if it happens that E&E content become exclusive for a while b4 go to PC, kinda make it redundant saying that we got a exclusive radio station for 3 months. Like...we can't compare real content in terms of gameplay with some songs. x)

What i did was just selling those animals ghost crates and as soon i left the hangar i destroy those crates, so no profit. Also i record it, just in case i need to justificate some issue with R*.
