They do make it very hard to be a fan of Rockstar as an organisation. The contempt for fans would be amusing if it wasn’t so frustrating.

Lets start with Heists – billed as part of the game in the pre-launch hype we all purchased it back in October 2013 only to find there were no Heists, but they were ‘coming soon’. So Rockstar then continually tease the people who purchased this game with ‘coming soon’ and now it’s a year and 3 months on and still no sign of this part of the game that was originally billed as being part of the release of the game. The handling of that was massively frustrating.

Then we have the PC launch. I’m sorry but there is absolutely no way you can realise 2 weeks before the global launch of a product like this that oh actually it’s not going to be finished and is infact going to take a further 8 weeks. For the game to have ever stood a chance of being on shelves worldwide on 27th January it would have been finished, signed off and sealed weeks and weeks ago. They’ve known they were not going to make the release window for ages but instead of announcing it back when it was fairly likely there might be a delay we get led on with rubbish like ‘There are no changes to the release date at this time’.

Then once we reach what any reasonable person would deem the point of no return – 2 weeks to the day before release – oh btw guyz, LOLLLLLLLL, try end of March.

It would be hilariously funny if the firm didn’t rely on the goodwill and hard earned money of those they consistently toy with in this fashion.

I just don’t get it. Why?

To those of you who think this is a good thing because it’ll mean we get a perfect polished game – good luck. Don’t be so naïve. I’ll be amazed if it still doesn’t need a Day 1 patch once it finally comes out in March. The PC version isn’t 18 months behind the console version for reasons of polish and amazingness.

The whole thing is a farce. If I wasn’t such a massive GTA fan and I wasn’t so desperate to play this game properly on PC I’d be inclined not to bother. But Rockstar knows it has fans like us and therefore they know they can treat them with relative contempt and we’ll still pay up.

Sigh.

Fail logic, but nice try.

There's not a chance the game would have had the budget it did without the draw of console sales.



It does but coming from someone who told me to get off my high horse the other day you don't seem to listen to your own advice.

you know exactly the reason I stated that, you just trying to be clever with that other post. Didn't at that point know anything about you being a console player/pc gamer or whatever, that's completely off topic. And like I said back there, now proven right.

This.

The wording is contemptible as well. "we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth "

Few weeks?? Try months Rockstar.

Not a logic fail by any stretch, they just know which market will produce the most revenue. Sub par console stuff wouldn't be released on PC because they would know how badly it would look/play on a PC therefore they wouldn't get the revenue.

Lets not mess around, the PC will always be more powerfull etc etc I used to game on a console, the fact that PC players get mugged off with "polish" comments from devs just goes to show how much little effort they put into console releases.
 
Tbf I can be doing with the wait so I can play Destiny properly before I get this :p

Although it's now at the start of exam period :(
 
Slightly worried about the recommended specs!

CPU and GPU smash their requirements but I've only got 8GB of ram, playing at 1440p as well. Will have to see how it goes!

No I'm not, you've proven to yourself to be a hypocrite, that is all :)

Your PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements unfortunately. I can offer you £50 to purchase these old parts from you? It'll help towards a new build.
 
Inb4 the people who really believe they have delayed it to add more polish :rolleyes:.

Meh, gives me time to sort a sofa out so I can play it in comfort. If it gets delayed again after that i'll leave it and get a ps4.
