GTA V

snowdog · 1 Apr 2015 at 19:31

I'd like to go on about the matter but for the sake of not derailing the topic I'll keep it to myself.

Otherwise, does anyone know anything yet about how it runs and what the demands are ? Or is everyone still in the dark?
I'm not to worried about the GPU bit, I have a gtx680 and got access to a 2nd one I can use in SLI if needed, however, I'm still on a first gen i7 cpu. I hope it'll not hold back performance by too much

.
Also, does anyone know if it supports MSAA ? Or will it, like gta 4, only support post processing AA like FXAA and thus be forced to run it supersampled to get rid of all the annoying aliasing ?

Game isn't out yet nobody has 100% save

Naïve much ? Or just stuck up/elitism ?

I have bought every game I appreciated, hell I haven't pirated a game in ages because Steam is more convenient. I have many games twice because I own both retail and the steam versions of it.

You are either trolling or if you really think people only pirate because they are cheap, then you're very naive.

Convenience is easily also one of the bigger reasons. Installing a pirate game costs less time and hassle than a retail game.

I mean, pirate a game > download game > poop for 5 mins > Install for 5 minutes > crack in 30 secs > play. ( or even easier if you have a good unattended installer).

Retail games is all above, plus going to the shop/ordering, using crappy cd's/dvd's/Brd's, typing over some bloody serial key, going through some activation crap, ugh, it makes me cringe just thinking about it. Good thing there's steam!

Another reason is the retarded release dates, games are often leaked before release date, or you have to deal with some morons who decided Europe gets something later than the yanks.

Also thirdly, like Skeeter said, it gives people the chance to try before buying. Just because they won't buy it immediately doesn't mean they won't buy it later, good games deserve some money. Before I discovered steam, I discovered new games by simply browsing torrent sites, sorting by most popular games, and trying them out...

Do you honestly think convenience is irrelevant ?

Ahh yes the "I buy after i pirate" line, must have heard that little gem a dozen times haha.

I couldn't careless what people do but makes me laugh with the poor attempts to justify it instead of being straight.

Anyway back GTA V...

Lol at the reasons for pirating.

Only one reason people pirate and it's because they are cheap, feel they are entitled to everything without actually earning it.

Indeed, I have never and will never read anything that justifies it.

Sega, stop derailing the thread with continuing piracy talk we stopped that a few posts back but you bring it up again.

You need very little game progress (probably into + 1 mission) to get access to the entire map.

And after that you should be hooked as the story is very good.

The entire map is open from the start.

Is the Nuveem way still working? I got my game last week but a mate is trying and he says Nuveem disables hola and tells him the game is region locked?

Oh right. I think in GTA IV you had to do a lot of missions to have the bridge road blocks removed.

Nice one

I'm more interested in messing around in the open world. I'll still do missions but very very slowly.

Make sure he has Brazil selected on Hola as when I added it, selected Brazil, went to the webpage it said the game was not for my region so then clicked on Hola selected Brazil then it let me buy it.

I don't understand how it works as I have not played anything like it online that is not an MMORPG. How will items such as cars and apartments be saved? Would you need to join the same server every time?

I used to enjoy sneaking over to where I wasn't allowed and then trying to get back then get me stars down

GTA V on the old gen consoles is an impressive achievement, if they make the effort (and the delays should attest that) I don't think we'll be disappointed.

A bit afraid for my 3.5gb 970s though.

Only an i7 processor? Definitely won't run on that system. You might get Vice City to run ok though.

snowdog · 1 Apr 2015 at 23:17

I am serious, you do know the first gen i7's are nowhere near as fast as Sandy/Ivy bridge let alone Haswell. I'm getting CPU lag in games like Cities Skylines ( above 130 k population), over 95% cpu usage... And GTA IV is still hardly easy on the cpu with traffic on 100 and getting frame drops to the high 20's!

What I'm wondering is if it's harder on the CPU in GTA V, or if they put more emphasis on the GPU...

Bought many a game via Hola with Nuveem, but Hola was a no go for GTAV, tried different browsers/vpn plugins and it always ended with the Nuveem forbidden(blue pacman) error, other titles, it'll let me purchase no probs, perhaps RS has requested them to stop selling half price out with their country and that's why others can get it to work with hola, idk.

So I used old faithful SoftEther(it's FREE) and it was bought.

Instead of giving you the direct link here(as you'll probably install the wrong one

), I'll send you to PC Gamer instead as it shows you exactly what to do, it is very simple(also runs region locked titles on Steam(but MP won't work).

Footyslayer, get your mate to try that.
