Got a bit fed up that this was delayed on PC again so tried to get my pre order refunded but wasn't allowed

Bought it for the PS4 to see what all the hype was about and I have to be honest I found it quite boring and turned it off! graphically I didn't think it was amazing either so likely gonna sell the PS4 version seeing as im gonna be stuck with the PC version
Did you redeem/send the GTA: San Andreas gift? That won't let you refund if you do that I believe.

I bought couple weeks ago on steam I have no intention of cancelling :D I expect them to deliver and happy that they have the guts to delay it..

Anyone else would just send it out and patch later.
 
Regarding DX12.. My 290 on the box says 11.2, so guessing it will support DX12? Sorry, I've no clue..

Nope your GPU is directx 12 enabled.

@agnes, If I knew I wouldn't have asked.

@Shankly, thank you.

Sorry, learning disability can be a pain. I do try my best but simple things are often the worst and even felt bad for asking because it should be simple but for, it isn't.
 
although the screenies do look kinda nice, but nothing breathtaking. I'm not interested in the press BS shots anyway, we see them all the time, it's easy to make a game look good in a still. Show me a video, maxed out 60fps and I'll be sold.
