    Then you're enjoying it for the wrong reason, i.e. playing a multiplat that's also available on PC on a lesser platform.

    I already played through it once on 360 at 30fps. No way I'm going that again :p

    This. I hear it's not a port as such and that the PC is in fact the definitive version to have. It's supposed to have extras like higher density wildlife, traffic, detailed damage and some other crap I can't remember.

    I took a shower after I finished the game :p

    Luckily PS4/Xbone gamers will have a chance to play it at 30 at *drumroll* 1080p!
    PC players as well, because there's a strong chance it's gonna be a crap port. Although MP3 was good, or so I'm told.

    That's like, your opinion, man...

    But yeah, SR2 (and to lesser extent SR3) and SD were kinda shweet. But I still prefer GTA games over any of those and am waiting for GTA V (and praying for my ye olde PC to at least be able to run at low...)

    i'm hoping to clear out as much as i can on the PS4 version before getting the PC version, though i would like to see TB do a video on the port quality.

    I am so pumped for this game to finally arrive for PC. I played half of the campaign on my PS3 but I stopped playing once I heard a PC version was in the works. I'm hoping my expectations are met.

    However he does make few good points from time to time.

    I hear you man. The PS4 version is so much fun, it's amazing how FP adds a whole dynamic to the game. Assuming its well optimized, I can't wait for it come out on PC.

    Why not? GTA IV was the sole reason to start upgrading my 5920G, of course I like to tweak and tinker, but that's another story. Also I always liked GTA series better than its clones. I never played more than couple of hours of Saints Row and Sleeping Dogs. To each his own, but I think it's perfectly fine that he wants to play it on a PC which is a laptop and likes the game better than anything else.

    Similar to how you feel, the GTA series is the ONLY reason that makes me want dedicated graphics.

    I will be happy if I can get at least >25FPS at 1080p medium settings with a single 750M. I guess it entirely depends how optimized it will be.

    I think I'll just try the "demo" first to see how well it runs, unless they actualy release a real demo. That would be nice. And even if it runs well, I've been waiting so long I can easily wait another couple of months for the Steam sales to pick this one up for 25% off. The fact that the MP3 team is behind the GTA V PC port gives me tons of hope though, because MP3 PC was rock solid.

    It would be amazing if GTA V really runs on GT240M like killkenny1 hopes, not that I believe it will. Oh, and not revealing system requirements so close to release is ridiculous.
