Is GTA 4 really that bad on pc?

I'm downloading my own "demo" of this game, it's free and I'm going to see how it goes. If I like it and it is able to play decently then I will buy it, if not then it gets deleted. If they are not going to produce an actual demo than I'm going to find a way to try the game out for free. I'm not telling you to steal anything here, but since you have the game in your hand, you should download the game somewhere and try it out before you open yours or bring it back, at least you'll know and won't be always thinking about if it would have ran okay or not.

trust me i would have already done so if my internet wasnt so slow, only got 1/2mb connection right now so it owuld take forever

Im not sure what your connection speed is but if that get finishes in the next few hours for you then let me know how it runs, probably gonna go take this one back around 5 est otherwise

I have another 3 days till it finishes, but I'll still post back when it's done. Or maybe I should not post back if it runs okay? You might get pissed that you returned it if it works alright.

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

Well you could just keep the gift, try it, and if it doesn't play well enough, keep it for the computer upgrade and play it then.

Invest in a shrink wrap blow dryer and some plastic baggies... any game can be a new unopened game.

GTA IV is really awesome game, but the technical issues such as graphics and performance are ruining the game. Except of these issues, there is another driving issue.. for some reasons I'm unable to take corners.. even the soft ones.
