I prefer consoles still

Nice. Never been a GTA fan. I thought all the GTAs from the past gen were really bad. But this one looks good.

Cheesus · July 24th, 2008

Release dates?

Samor · July 24th, 2008

cool! keeps me once again from buying another console.
but eh.... when?

makotech222 · July 24th, 2008

w00t +1 for Pc.

Samor · July 24th, 2008

yep, better ports than nothing at all.

Cheesus · July 24th, 2008

GTA IV on the PC should be incredible... Let's just hope they left the doors wide open for modders. IMO that's the biggest factor drawing people to the PC over the consoles in GTA's case.

Thanakil · July 24th, 2008

Yay! We'll be able to avoid the problems that the game had on consoles and instead have NEW problems specifically related to PCs

.

I'm happy to see it coming to PC, I hope they do a good job on the port. I'll finally see if all the hype was really worth it for myself.
(I always liked the GTA games. Not a HUGE fan like some people are, but always liked the game nevertheless)
