I give as much a damn about Rockstar and Ubisoft as they do about PC gaming. If they want to sell garbage for 7 year old hardware, to heck with them. Saints Row 3 is orders of magnitude more enjoyable than any GTA game, possibly excepting Vice City.

I'd much rather a PC version than an inferior console variant, seems I have no choice but to plump for one now. Better to get something almost as good instead of not at all.

Which is the lead platform by the way?
And why is the console version inferior, if I may ask?

I much prefer GTA on consoles, it's where it belongs.

Depends on the player.. i thought aswell until i actually tried GTA4 on PC.. and just thought the controls were so right! :) but comes down to the person ^^

and i can quickly answer the inferior question... Processing power and graphical power.. huge difference... but wont go down that road more than that ^^

Good day to you good sir!

i just dont hope they dont do a Red Dead Redemption.. no PC version at all :( still.. got a tiny hope it will someday find its way to PC.. still a good game though, will also get GTAV on PS3 if it doesnt hit PC.. but it will eventually 6-12 months after ofcourse x)

Resolution, textures, draw distances, frame rates, mods... need I go on? PC hardware is much more advanced than consoles, objectively speaking I don't see how you can claim the consoles have superiority here.

Despite GTA being released on PC before the Playstation port? Until GTA III arrived I think many considered the series PC games moreso than anything else, especially considering the multiplayer + networking. DMA Design were always Amiga/PC developers before being later bought out.

Smoke and daggers?

Heh. I think you got your phrases mixed up there. It's either "cloak and dagger" or "smoke and mirrors".

Although I suppose "smoke and daggers" could be appropriate if ninjas are involved.
Heh, I was half asleep.

Being GTA though, if ninjas aren't involved, i'd be surprised.

No, it's quite accurate. They employ both tricks and false statements, then stab you.

They always play coy and it always eventually turns up. Annoying and obnoxious, yes. Petition worthy? Not really.

Honestly, let's try not to turn this into a stupid ass console/pc war. Since I can afford it I have both a decent PC that can run games well and a PS3 so that when something like GTA V, Red Dead, Little Big Planet, or Heavy Rain I can play them. Also in the way of PC without it I could not play my games like Binding of Isaac, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., KotOR, FTL, or Thief. So let's just be friends.

Or maybe we SHOULD turn it into a flame war. Seems likely to attract more comments, bumping the thread further, and giving the petition more exposure. Therefore -> Success.

PS: I am a master of diabolical plans (muahahaha?)

Huh.

Well, the GTA4 port was abysmal, wasn't it? And L.A. Noire on PC got a lot of criticism. Maybe they're waiting for it to be a proper port and then announcing it.
It's being "considered," which means it will come out with near certainty.

Meanwhile, PC gamers will demand a port, then complain about what they're given.

To be fair, if GTAV on PC is the same quality as IV or Dark Souls, anyone who plays games has every right to complain.

The PC community doesn't deserve a port. They moan and whine and ***** about not getting a port at the start. Then when it turns out their is a port they whine and ***** about weather it will be better than the console one and then when it finally does come out they whine and botch because they got their better than the console version port but it doesn't run butter smooth on their system, so the developer patches the game fixes the flaws and after a year or so the game works, looks better and is actually better than the console version so what do the PC crowd do? Whine and ***** and moan about any and every little thing any new patches changes and then when it is finally time for the sequel the PC community whines and bitches and moans because the developer hasn't said their will even be a PC release, is it any fucking wonder?

Really you're comparing the port qualities of Dark Souls and GTA4?

GTA4 may have had a shoddy initial port but that was down to squeezing a multi threaded game engine on to the at the time very weak PC CPUs. Rockstar still delivered in the long run a game that looks better, plays better and runs better than the one that is on the console where as Dark Souls from day one was nothing more than a direct console port, no addons, not even the basics resolution options for the PC version

How about you people sign the petition anyway even if you have faith that they will release it eventually.
This. Stop debating whether they'll maybe do it in 6-12 months and let them know that you want them to do it. As Rockstar said, they'll do it if there's a market for it. This is how you let them know that the market exists. If you want the game, spend 2 minutes to do it.

All recent ports were abysmal, the DRM sucked, and I utterly hated Max Payne 3.

I could care less about Rockstar games at this point. I have a decent number of Kickstarter backed games that will probably launch at around the same time than the port would hit the PC anyway.

How dare people want a game that's a part of a series they enjoy to be released on their platform of choice. How dare they want their $60 games to work as advertised, rather than having bugs littered throughout. How dare they want the game to run on their hardware, when it easily runs on less powerful hardware.

Really, did you even think this through?
