Grand Theft Auto V

I kind of want to write a letter to Rockstar but they’ll probably just ignore it. I mean the initial trailer that mentioned PC said Fall 2014. There has to be something there.

I’d be a little upset if I had pre-ordered it but I can wait a little bit longer.

At this point in my life getting mad at these things is a waste of energy.

I mean, being mad won’t do anything but I still want to contact them in some way. They keep deleting my comments on their article. Not buying the game will accomplish jack shit and regardless of how well the PC version sells this is going to happen again with the next game. The PC version could sell 10x the console version and it wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference.

It’s a conspiracy, I tell ya.

It’s a mass market product sold by businessmen wanting to maximize profit as much as possible. As long as big companies keep producing and selling games, this won’t stop anytime soon.

Or maybe they don’t want to repeat GTA4’s failures and actually give it some real spit and shine.

Where did all this negativity even come from? I thought people were excited for the PC port.

It’s coming out later than the console release and that usually upsets people.

The negativity is from the fucking delay. Rockstar seriously broke my patience with their bullshit. I was excited, not excited anymore that on top of having to wait over a year for the PC version but an extra two months past the release date of the console updated version. I seriously don’t see how people can just shrug this off. They’re essentially telling people who play on PC to their face that they mean nothing and are just an afterthought. That’s a hell of a good reason to be negative.

I liked how the trailer even mentioned PC as an afterthough…

You seem incredibly bitter about this.

And doesn’t it make sense, besides? I assume it’d be easier to port the game to the next gen of consoles it’s already on than to an entirely different platform like PC, especially if they want it to be a really good port.

I will admit that this feels a bit like they’re teasing PC gamers but I believe they’ll deliver a good version on PC. GTA4 overall suffered from unpolished code even on consoles but since then they have overhauled the engine and it runs much better these days as evidenced by Max Payne 3 and GTA5. No way the latter would have pulled such an achievement on the last gen consoles without a ton of improvements.

It’s not even a port. Each version has been worked on separately. There are logs detailing their progress on the PC version well before the game was released on PS3 and 360. I just think these dates have to do with prioritizing schedules for each version and the truth is, the console versions sell better than on PC and at a higher price, so they prioritize their time on those versions over the PC.

The PC version is the base for the next gen version. It’s been in development since 2012. The delay is nothing related to development. Rockstar is plain and simple treating PC gamers like shit and I’m sick of it. There is no excuse for it. And then there are people wondering why I have a problem with this and trying to make excuses for Rockstar for some reason.

I really don’t care. I also believe the PC version will be good but that still doesn’t justify any of this to me. Especially after the initial trailer listed all three versions for Fall. Rockstar will never get another dime from me and I hope they are bought by Activision and gutted.

Yeah u mad.

It’s a luxury item, not food for third world countries. No need to get your sense of pride hurt over this.

Complaints aren’t suddenly worthless just because it’s a luxury item. If Rockstar wouldn’t censor any criticism on their site and probably ignore my emails I’d be complaining directly to them.

And they’d spin you a lie to make you feel better if they did respond.

I also wish the three versions were out on the same day but I’m done getting mad at videogames.

It’s a bit disappointing, but not really worth telling the company to go die, honestly.

Guys it’s Rockstar…just business nothing personal.

I was gonna buy it but since they did that I’m pirating it for sure, fuck rockstar. Nothing personal just business.

The hell is with the negativity? This is hardly unprecedented as far as release schedules go.

That was mostly sarcasm because since when do I buy games anyway?

It’s a little disappointing that we have to wait until January now, but isn’t Farcry IV coming in November?
