Is GTA 4 really that bad on pc?

Anyway 1GB is still not enough for gta iv.

To be honest I don't really know, from what i've heard GTA 4 is supposed to be a good game (though strangely I don't feel compelled to go and buy it at all) - but the point is that if you really want Fallout 3 instead, then just get that game instead!

I would keep the seal on gta though, otherwise they probably wont let you swap it...

If you want o keep seal on gta better way will be to download it xD

this is the situation most people face where a small game demo answers the question. If there was a game demo you could download to see how it runs you would know what to do. But nowadays it is rare to get a demo.

I agree I always like to try a demo, for consumers its much better, of course for the developer/publisher its not so good an effect on sales if the game is sh*t...

..but if they are so confident that the game is good (like Rockstar is) then why not... for them though, its a gamble i guess.

yea i was hoping there was a demo but was dissapointed to find none.

Like i said, this rig hasnt faild me yet, ive run everything on it maxed out, except crysis was a little laggy but i didnt bother playing it. Actually ive had games where the installation tells me i dont have a good enough system to play it and i can play it totally maxed out, so they can take their requierments and stick em up their ***

But i really dont think this game will run well if so many people are having problems, i think i should just wait a few months, hoping to build a new rig within the next few months *fingers crossed* so maybe then

Your rig is not going to handle the game, period. It's not even a matter of if the game is a good game or not. My rig is similar to yours and I know I have no chance to run this game. Trade the game in for something your PC can actually use.

blindartist · December 17th, 2008, 05:20 PM

its stupid though cuz the graphics arent that good, i can run anything maxed out, s.t.a.l.k.e.r, gears of war, bioshock, assasins creed, you name it i can max it out, asside from crysis, must be a very bad port

man i wish they had a demo for this game, effin assholes

the bigges thing holding you back is that hd2400, you cant really comapir it to the x1950, your rig would do alright with a better vid card

I think we can get away with both of our GPU'S, (but yes, your X1950 is a lot better) but the game needs two good CPU cores to get anywhere. One core is just not going to cut it.

blindartist · December 17th, 2008, 05:39 PM

see ive had games tell me that before and i still was able to max them out with about 25 fps avrage(which is acceptable to me)

but yea with what everone is saying I think this game is just too poorly ported and optimized, its a shame because i really wanted to play it and i really hate returning gifts cuz i just feel like a dirt bag lol
