GTA V for PC Petition

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

What they wanted, and what is expected is a game that is at least function.

The drama queening was part of the problem.

For Dark Souls to be functional on PC (btw, this coming from someone who fucking loves Dark Souls) you need at least 1, possibly several community made edits, probably some alternate control method, like a gamepad, and a somewhat up to date PC seeing as there's no graphics settings that even matter performance wise.

So for a game designed around a controller, you needed a controller?

Let me alert the presses. And while we're at it, I bet those bastards at Harmonix expect you to have a microphone to sing along with their games!

The community edits stuff is hyperbole. People were playing it fine without them. PC gamers are just so spoiled they write anything below 60 FPS unplayable. People complained it was inferior to the PS3 version, which was false. People complained that it didn't meet their expectations, when their expectations were ridiculous.

They begged for the game. They threw a tantrum every single step of the way. Then they got it and they threw another tantrum. Surprise.

And you know what? It sold phenomenally anyway.

Sometimes you don't get what you want, but you usually get what you deserve. And Dark Souls is more or less why PC gamers get shitty ports.

GTAV will sell phenomenally, too. Even if it runs at 5 FPS, doesn't support fullscreen mode, and requires two gamepads, a VR headset, and a spiked chastity belt. Spiked inward, for the record.

If you're a PC gamer, allow me to ask you why you do this to yourself. Not just Dark Souls, but let's start there. Why beg and scream for a game intended for filthy console peasants, then complain it plays like a console game? Why did so many people buy GTAV at launch? Why does anyone expect different from what they get when they engender that EXACT system?

Decent resolution support and a control system that employs even a little consideration aren't exactly lofty expectations. When you consider the wealth of games that function just fine on both consoles and PC, it's obvious that making M+K and a gamepad both viable options is completely doable, they just didn't do it. The resolution fix was cranked out by a fan in no time flat... so I call bullshit on that.

If they can put zero effort into ports and still have them sell "phenomenally", and have a community of fans who will fix their sloppy work for them... then they have no right to complain. Infact, they should be very happy about it. It's a sweet deal. What's the downside? That some people wrote unflattering things about their shoddy port in some stupid internet forum that they can easily ignore? I'm sure the money talks louder.

Who cares?

Saints row the third is already better than GTA V will ever be.

And Max Payne 2 is the greatest game ever made, so we have no need of anything new ever again.

Think of the money we'll save!!

Yea...Rockstar calls you a fucking idiot for buying GTA IV within the manual. Fuck them.

 

[Rattler5150]

I have an alternate point of view,

I propose an Anti-petition. Frankly I am tired of Rockstar's nonsense treating pc gamers as the unwanted red headed stepchildren of the gaming world. We have been forced to wait, and to deal with titles being released on consoles with no pc release (liberty city stories for instance)

In light of this further insult to pc gamers, I am never going to buy another rockstar title,,,ever.

sorry rockstar, you lost a longtime customer.

I hope not, I was really bored reading gaming forums when GTA4 launched, because every second thread was "halp gta4 lags" and "omg gta4 sux lagging pos"...

After the state of GTA4 ... no spankyou.

Yeah if only they released several performance enhancing and stability patches for... oh wait a minute they did.

I was, almost, tempted with Far Cry 3 but then the whole Steam debacle reminded me why I avoid Ubisoft like i'd avoid masturbating with a right hand riddled with leprosy.

Yeah it really bugged me, I was gagging at the bit to buy Far Cry 3, to have it attached to a service that is slow, buggy, riddled with nonsense and goes tits up when ever their is a hint of a sale. I really feel like a dick for downloading Uplay, buying it direct from their store and then having to run the game through a service that loads in seconds and actually seems to work. I really wanted that opportunity to have to run Steam that chance to wait a minute and a half while it logs on, the opportunity to wait while it runs it's back ground server checks, the opportunity to wait while it decides if my games are available to play just now and then for it then run Uplay as well but I just had to opt for running Uplay by itself damn me for choosing a fast, loads in seconds and does the job service when Steam was just sitting right there as an alternative.... damn I feel awful!

Well i'm a month late but the above numpty quoted me without actually quoting me so I didn't get chance to reply.

Plus it was necro'd already so I don't feel bad.

Those were cute comments .. really they were.

"Performance enhancing, stability fixing patches" that didn't get rid of a lot of the bugs.

So I had to wait for them to get round to fixing an absolutely terrible port but they didn't fix a lot of the problems.

Yep, that would be well worth the money .... oh wait, no it wouldn't.

As for Uplay and your gushing over it.

Yes it loads in seconds .... if it can connect to the servers .... which it has a terrible habit of not being able to.

Servers constantly go offline, constantly crash and are about as stable as Greece's economy. Of course, as I said already, that's if you can connect to the servers. Considering the complaints all over the internet and amongst everyone I know who bought Far Cry 3 and Assassins Creed 3 is they can't connect to the Uplay servers at all. Your attempt at sarcasm not only falls flat but makes me point and laugh in your general direction.

Also, it wasn't because it wasn't being sold on Steam that put me off (i've said it time and time again I don't buy new games on Steam) it was the fact they put it off in an attempt to make people buy it from Uplay instead of giving folk a varied choice.

But, good job on your comeback. It really put me in my place .... honest.

It has been like that since GTA 3. They don't announce it right away but end up releasing a PC port some time after the console release. I don't know why they do that, but I'm not in a hurry to get it anyway. I'll save my money for Saint's Row 4.

 

[Eddy-16]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
A majority will piss and moan when they get an average port and then claim its the worse thing ever. Then people will come here and piss and moan and the superior glorious master pc race will complain that the dirty console scrub version it both better and inferior at the same time. It'll be like Dark Souls all over again, lets not do this again.

 

[Laughing Man]

Well i'm a month late but the above numpty quoted me without actuall... snip

Yeah it really wasn't worth the wait, believe me.
