OHHH!! now i see!, so ye console gamers can laugh and say how devs dont care about pc, and make fun when a game gets delayed on PC etc etc and then give each other pats on the back, but when its the other way around its not ok??.

What? I just don't like those "PC Elitists" who try to say consoles are shit just because so called "Ultra settings"make the game looks  better than the console version. I don't like it when PS fans do the same thing. Then I see crap online all the time saying consoles are holding back PC gaming etc.... just really annoys me when I see stupid comments like that.

"GTA5 PC delay was due to fear that console owners would not buy the inferior NON-moddable console versions. We want them to tripple-dip"

Thank you Rockstar for being honest :) Ill wait for the PC version then xD

Since I've read the entire thread I like how OP throws in the "Like i said "The Place to own Nextgen GTA5 IS PC!" and "Seems to me like the Early console release is just so they can beta test for us PC players to get a much more better version and Rockstar doesn't want to show the console players how Gimped their version will be compared to what PC players will be playing".

Totally isn't a setup for a flame baiting thread, no sir not at all.

I wonder if OP will generalize me and paint me as a "console fanboy/peasant" without knowing a thing about me at all and how he will claim I don't know a thing about him even though I can see everything including user history, I know exactly what to expect from OP after reading the history, I look forward to having my words twisted and claims of me "twisting words" even though the history speaks for itself.

Sigh...I don't even feel like getting banned over this.

Lets be real, PC sales of anything have rarely have any bearing over console sales which make up the bulk. Surely there is much less to optomize on consoles with standard hardware than on PCs, and if the consoles are where the money is then this isn't a real suprise.

To be fair it is true. It is also true that it has been happening so long that PC gamers should know that their $500 graphics card wont get to see the most used out of them for a while because they are a small part of the gaming market and making settings for their uber cards isnt worth their resources. Its probably frustrating seeing that PS4 and X1 have specs equal to a mid end PC when you are hoping that they would be closer to their uber PC.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Beta testing? I played it on PS3 and it was a 10/10. I'll play it on PS4 again and it will be even better. How can a beta be so good? Think you need to take your words back, more likely the PC was barely even considered worth a port lol.

No clearly you have it wrong it was only an 8/10 on ps3, it will be 9/10 on ps4 and 10/10 on PC lol

No one wants to hear your biased crap. GTA has always suited DS controllers far more than keyboard and mouse, that's more important than having slightly better graphics.

Anyways 8/10 on PS3, really? I can't take you seriously after this.

Still, I'll be getting this on PC down the road for the mods, but not worth getting at release on PC.

People who think like that really piss me off... PC gamers who think they're part of some so called master race because their games look a little prettier than console games.

PC gamers are (to be clear, not all, just those who are extreme fans) are the most vocal yet overall insignicant portion of a AAA titles. Yes, PC centric titles like RTS, MOBA, and Valve games can do very well but for huge games like GTA, Destiny, Watchdogs, etc. PC represents a fraction of consoles.

Then there's also that whole thought process of "wait for a sale". Hell, one of the big reasons people give for switching to PC is those sales. As a publisher, I'd likely care least for PC because they're also the hardest to please. So essentially, they contribute the least but expect the most. The worse kind of customer. 

Console gamers are (to be clear, not all, just those who are extreme fans) are the most vocal yet overall insignicant portion of a AAA titles. Yes, Console centric titles from companys like , EA, and Activision can do very well but for most other games not so much. Console represents a fraction of PC's multi genre users.

Then there's also that whole thought process of "Buy Used". Hell, one of the big reasons people give for switching to Console is those used games. As a publisher, I'd likely care least for Console because they're also the hardest to please. So essentially, they buy the same game over and over but expect the most, just cos some games get massive sales. The worse kind of customer.

Anyway see how that works both ways??

And Valve isnt big?? O_o maybe not on console but on PC their games are played by millions but then i guess most console users only see things from a console prospective and its only big if it fits their agenda .

actually, it doesnt work both ways because your snarky imitation isnt supported by facts and numbers. Consoles are generally the biggest source of income in the industry, its been that way for a long time

LoL, yeah that's why consoles had to have aim assist, because the DS controllers are just sooooo superior.  What's _hilarious_ is starting MP in GTAIV, turning off aim assist, and watching everyone cry...that shit is pure gold.



Dadrik on 16 September 2014

*sigh*... PC gamers always acting like they're superior...
Even worse than the PS fanboys vs Xbox fanboys "war".

Anyways, they better delay it as much as they want if it's needed to make a great port. We all remember GTA IV...
