will you guys be playing via keyboard and mouse or controller?

If GTA IV, Just Cause 2 and Watch Dogs are anything to go by, I'll be using keyboard and mouse when on foot and controller when in vehicles.

I was quite happy using a 360 controller for everything on gta v

Edit: I meant gta iv

I'm not sure what to use to be honest. When using first person view KB & Mouse would be the best thing but for general movement and the fact you're always in and out of cars/bikes/other transport a controller would be a lot handier.

People have told me the auto-aim is a little over the top, on consoles anyway. In fact I've seen plenty of videos where they just press a button and it goes straight to a target and locks on while they're aimed nowhere near, which to me is just as much of a cheat as the bonus money. Will definitely be using k & m here

yeah Auto aim sucked on the consoles, will be switching that off on PC version

Sold the console versions I had

Does anyone know when PC reviews will start to be released, or are Rockstar going to do a Ubisoft and stop all reviews until after the game has released?

IMO a lot of people have already played it and reviews for the consoles will likely be the same for PC

The game is essentially the same but with overhauled visuals, the XONE and PS4 both did the first person view, so that's not new either

most of my games I use a controller .. more for comfort so I can knock back the chair feet rest on desk and chill while gaming

Rather then hunching over a Mouse and keyboard, id feel like im at work

PhysicsMan94 · 30 Mar 2015 at 15:50

I'll use a steering wheel

KB&M for everything!

I like driving with KB - find it easy for fine adjustments, unlike controller where one tiny adjustment has the vehicle going way off course.

TonyTurbo78 · 30 Mar 2015 at 16:02

more than likely keyboard and mouse but with the controller plugged in for driving. Plus, my sofa and lounge TV isnt a 1440p 144hz panel like the one at my desk, so If I gotta be at my desk, might as well use the pro leet setup of KB+M

I have pre-ordered the steam key from CJS but now after reading a few more reviews I'm not so sure I can rely on them sending me a key before release!

Tempted to ask for a refund and just get it through Steam.

Finally got a reply from CJS and apparently they don't issue refunds till after release

Got the day off for release so I just have to hope I get the key in time and Steam accept it! Otherwise I'm in for a boring day

Indeed. KB and mouse here. Controllers are for noobs.

Controllers are for console scrubs.

Hear hear.

Played GTA IV solely with keyboard and mouse. Not sure why you would want to use a controller.

+1.

Best combo as I hate driving vehicles with kb/m and hate aiming with a controller, best of both, ah the beauty of PC gaming.

Would you see much of a performance increase throwing this on a SSD over a HDD? Need to make some room on my SSD if thats the case.

TonyTurbo78 · 30 Mar 2015 at 17:53

only load times I imagine Spenj
