I love the GTA series, played GTA IV on X-Box 360 and I simply love it :d Just like the rest of them
Thx though
Some screenshots:First of all, the visuals. Running at a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600, the game's PC port offers all sorts of visual enhancements over its console counterparts, from a further draw distance to up-rezzed textures.
Then there's the replay mode. The game always records the last 30 seconds of whatever you do, and at any moment you can tap a button on the keyboard to capture a video clip. You're then able to edit together these clips in a montage editor and export your own home videos to Rockstar's Social Club website.
Perhaps best of all, though, are the multiplayer enhancements. Though Rockstar has teased about these in the past, it stated that the PC version will support more than the 16 players that the console versions had -- exactly how many more we don't yet know. Rockstar also mentioned that GTA IV on PC will offer improved searching and filtering to find the type of multiplayer games you're most interested in joining.
From what we saw and heard, GTA IV on PC is definitely worth getting excited over. Here's hoping we'll get to find out more about the multiplayer soon.

Well, you'll have to make an account, but GFW is free.Mutantsteak wrote:

Once you get in-game, you'll make an account which will carry over to all future/other GFW games...you have to if you want to play online.Mutantsteak wrote:

You can also use it if you ever get an Xbox 360 as well.
They dropped it. One of the best moves MS has ever done, imo.Mutantsteak wrote:

Hmm. SA had plenty of hilarious characters like The Truth. Peter Fonda was amazing in that role The wild goose chase in San Fierro was ridiculously fun although nothing happened The cast was 10+++ in that game.Mint Sauce wrote:
Finished playing ages ago, didn't complete it. Was one of the biggest let downs ever, it has ZERO replay value, every mission is the same thing over and over; go somewhere and kill someone, just in a variety of ways.
I still maintain that Rockstar should stay away from realism, that isn't what GTA is about, so I say that Vice City > All.
Hmm. Googled a bit on the DLC part. I'm now in wait-mode with GTA. ThxPoseidon wrote:

Yeah that pretty much sums up GTA 4. Except I did get to the end. But yes the missions are a drag. The same thing over and over again. Nothing to do in the city once you've finished. Rubbish multiplayer. Huge lack of varied scenery. Awful awful combat.Mint Sauce wrote:

I'd assume so...if Achievements are and it's GFW - Live, I'd say it's pretty safe bet that DLC will come to the PC version too.Spidery_Yoda wrote:
