Any reason they specifically mentioned only xbone and ps4 for the 30 player gta online?
Ever played GTA 4 on PC?
Those comments always come over so weird, those can't possible come from a person that has experience these versions first hand and not years later when everything got a community fix or the hardware was able to brute-force the shit.
I wouldn't even call Max Payne 3 a truly polished product on pc, plenty of things were fucked and it took a while for R* to even give a shit and patch it.
Edit: Biggest issue that i have with this second delay is the lack of an answer from R*, the best we'll get is some R* support drone promising a quality product and that'll be the end of it, i wanna know who made this decision and why and if their very loyal fanbase was ever taken into account.
Obviously, I can't speak for everyone else, but it was running brilliantly at the time on a Dell something or other with GeForce 3 ti 200. Definitely had no issues at all
Max Payne 3 was a PS3/360 non-open-world game. Of course it's going to run well. It's not particularly demanding outside of a few PC-only features. I wouldn't consider that a "good port". Just an average one.
GTA V PC's performance is going to be largely depend on how it runs on PS4/XB1. If it already runs pretty well on those console you can expect it to run well on PC. Likewise for the opposite scenario. This is just a trend I see across most current-gen multi-plats (WD, DR3, etc.). Hopefully they go for something clean and stable on consoles and not another janky mess like the original version.

The only children I see here are the console gamers who are getting lured into double or even triple dipping the same game.
Perfect timing on PC for me. After finals and Xmas travel break, doesn't coincide with other titles that will be wanting my time. I played this obsessively and thoroughly on PS3. I'll wait happily, not because I think it'll be massively superior but because it's my preferred platform for a variety of reasons. I'd get it on XB or PS if I really needed to.
This "war" is just people announcing how much, in increments of $500 or so, they've spent or are willing to spend on hardware. Who gives a shit. Enjoy what you've got. Most PC gamers have at least one console.

Lured? What are we, fish? I make my own decisions, no one "lures" me into shit.
Why does spending my money on what I want make me a child?

Any chance Sony gets a bundle deal? I mean this will be a huge seller if either of them gets the bundle. It will move units for sure.

It's just 2 months, I don't get the complaining. As long as they don't deliver a turd port like GTA4.
Goddamn :lol this thread is flying off the rails.
I see Rockstar hasn't changed their attitude toward PC. If past GTA games are any indication, I expect there to be plenty of technical issues even with the delay.
God I hope we can disable or mod this out.
R* has been pretty good with options in Gta IV and MP3, i'll give em that so i doubt it's gonna get forced on pc gamers.
Console gamers though, probably shit outta luck, shame cause it's a shitty effect.

The exact same three games I'm getting for PS4 this year and that's all I'm getting.
LOL, this is great.

i plan to triple dip the with the pc version but until i get a better pc... unless a mod comes first using Archer
one of the MC is archer and the other 2 make it Lana and cyril. best mod of all time

True, MP3 had some pretty big issues with the mouse controls and MSAA was borked at launch.
Yo why the fuck R* hates PC as a platform? They either delay the release or don't release at all. Has there ever been a time when they released the game on PC same time as on consoles? No matter how much I love their games on consoles, but they are still a scumbag when it comes to PC. Not to say, they give shittiest ports despite being a top developer.
shhhhh!!! Quiet you, it's only two months, stop acting like a child!

I'm gonna pass on this.
I played it on PS3 and once was enough for me.

Think about it financially and developer wise. It maximises sales and leaves enough time to polish up the game that has had an iffy outing on PC last time it launched.
As much as I hate it myself it makes some sense when you think about it. They don't "hate" the PC crowd

The PC delay is expected. PC will never be a priority for Rockstar over consoles. Especially next gen console buyers that are dying to have some good content. As long as they give a good and polished product all will be forgiven.

PC date does not upset me. I am sure they did for quality control. I'll have other stuff to play this holiday anyway
AC Unity, Dragon Age and... okay so maybe it sucks a bit, but fuck it. FUCKKKK ITTT. ITS COMING. WE know its coming!!

I got it for 360 and sold it and the system awhile back and have been missing Vinewood ever since. Was going to get on PC but man I feel impatient, plus my PC is aging and I'm pretty sure I'd have a better guaranteed experience on PS4. Granted I don't have one yet, here's hoping for a bundle! I feel like I'm at a crossroads again where I'm gonna go back to consoles for a bit and still use PC for indies and the occasional, ever so rare exclusive with a moderate budget. I didn't think a last gen game that I already played a fuckton of was what would be the motivating factor for me hopping on the current gen wagon but damn, R* knows how to pull me in like few other devs can.
How much polish did they do on Bully, GTA4, LA Noire or Max Payne 3?
All ran like shit when they were released. MP3 too had tons of problems despite being a PC franchise.
I am betting one reason they didn't prioritize the PC version is piracy and steam sales. I would wonder how much money they make off the PC version between those two things vs. the console versions?
It may just be sucks to be PC users but it could just be they just don't make as much money on the PC version. And sorry, you can't blame them for prioritizing the platform they make the least profit on last. In fact, I'm betting it's something like that since the PC version shouldn't be too hard after the PS4/xbox one versions being similar. And they may just not had enough developers to split amongst three versions at once so they shorted the PC team.

Those of you who keep saying "there is no reason PC version shouldn't come out same day" are flat out wrong.
There are two exact platforms to worry about with current gen releases, where as PC release has to take into account tens of thousands of possible computer builds, multiple GPU and CPU types, scaling for RAM availability, resolution changes, and additional PC only tweaks.

Well, they've made sure it's gonna get pirated to hell now and don't forget the folks that will now just wait for that summer sale, all in all gj with this move R*.
Without blowing your load over this game being the biggest and best ever, explain to me why this isn't an issue for other developers?

Steam sales? That's up to the developer/publisher, not Valve. They don't lose money from the sales either. If anything, devs flourish because of them.

Really hope they redo the rain effect. It was so great in GTA4 and really bad in 5.
True, but PCs were also present when GTAV first launched in 2013, well before the release of the Xbox One and PS4. When viewed from this perspective, the PC version's delay is longer than just a couple of months.
EDIT: Well, maybe the release wasn't exactly "well before" the new consoles, but the start of development certainly was.

hnnnnng hype. New editions sound awesome.
I really hope the framerate is solid

You are trying to make it look like as if it's a bunch of newbies making the game on kickstarter.
We are talking about a top tier developer like R* which has huge amount of resources and talent. Also it's not like they are doing this firs time. To me, it seems they don't really get much profit from PC. But then again, if they disrespect the community like this, then you can't expect good sales. Seems a shitty situation to me.
What are the chances of a GTA V PS4 bundle? I'm itching to pick up one up now, but I'm wondering if I should wait for a possible announcement of that.
I would argue that the Houser brothers' 3D series that we have today started as a PS2 exclusive.
