>Wasn't there a rumor recently that Rockstar was remastering IV? Or was that bullshit?
No it was true. But GSG killed that when they bogged the trilogy remasters. They got such bad press from that shit that Rockstar themselves had to go in and clean the shit up and I think after that whole shit show they just cancelled it because of that. Honestly wished we got it because then that means we would've been more likely to get a Bully or Warriors remaster. But if they were just gonna outsource it to someone else just for them to fuck it up it's probably best that we didn't get it at all.

90% of heist "planning" missions are bad, as is the beach episode where Michael fucks off to the desert. For a game supposedly about heists you spend most of the game fucking around with glowie letter agencies planning spec ops missions over bank robberies, with all three of the protagonists severely undercooked
>v is more fun to replay
In what fucking universe? V started the overtly scripted mission game overs of modern R*. IV gives you an actual sandbox, tells you "kill X" and leaves the how up to you. Whenever V doesn't feature corridors and stupidly long driving sections at the beginning of every mission, it features companion AIs that constantly tell you how to do things and how to not move 5 metres to the right else you leave the mission area and your companion is scripted to immediately die because of it. It's godawful, and all put together is the reason why quite literally nobody remembers nor ever brings up V's main storyline meanwhile nobody ever shuts the fuck up about Niko or IV's narrative

might be because of a CPU bottleneck. iirc this was one of those games that run single-threaded so it runs similarly poorly on a lot of older CPUs (which were single-core and beastly) and modern CPUs (multi core but not much more powerful per each core)

no one really understands CPU bottlenecks in PC gaming because that requires understanding how games are actually programmed and they just stare at the framerate number instead of observing frametimes and shit

there is a nigger thrown in but it's in a segment where lenny talks to this confederate guard that you're supposed to snipe right off the bat so it's missable if you don't take the time to listen to the guards entire spiel. and the way nigger was said was really forced. it had way too much emphasis instead of it actually being spoken by a human being. like they wanted to RAPE the player or whatever.

If it runs bad for you turn off clip capture and night shadows if you don't want to use fusionfix and/or vulkan.
Clip capture causes stuttering regardless.
The game runs smooth as butter even without any mods on FX-8350. Many people claim that is a slow cpu.
>>
>>727777923
That did it. It's only running at a stable 60, but that's much better than before.

I genuinely miss how much you could destroy vehicles in that game. GTAV had a lite version that got worse thanks to the fact that you could upgrade the armor on your cars which made people forget there was destruction physics for vehicles in the first place. Being able to turn cars into cubes in GTAIV was absolutely incredible. Everything felt so much heavier which felt way more real and yet simultaneously goofy and believable at the same time. V feels like everything kind of just floats and skates.

Actually the PS4 version of GTA5 was literally a DOWNGRADE in vehicle deformation compared to the PS3 version lol. I mean the original release was already a step back from GTA4, but for the next gen versions they made the entire cabin on every car take no damage so it wouldnt interfere with the shitty first person mode. Not many people remember this

The ps4/xb1 cpu is as fast as pentium 4 3.2GHz, which is the cpu equivalent of a warmed up beer

If you don't have it on steam probably.
Maybe you can add the cd key to rockstar launcher?

The steam version makes you use the rockstar launcher anyways. Last time I tried I could get to the rockstar launcher but the game would never start, wouldn't even give me any error just nothing.

I got a 360 for Dead Rising and The Orange Box, but I was happy to be able to play a GTA game on my own console for the first time - rather than feeling like I was hogging my friend's PS2 to play SA.

I know that IV was a major departure from III, VC, and even SA, but I still think it's probably the most interesting GTA. The atmosphere of early 00s New York City is one thing, but I think its best qualities are its physics, attention to detail, and, strangely, the sincerity of its story and characters. IV's characters do have a lot of comic moments, but much of their appeal comes from a balanced juxtaposition the tragic and comic; exceptions like Brucie are some of the worst characters in the game, and I think that Brucie specifically anticipated how a lot of V's characters were written, as heavy-handed, two-dimensional satire.
tl;dr >>727777291 is right.

That's objectively incorrect. Several veteran developers quit the company because of what investors were demanding for monetization after the success of GTA Online. The lead gameplay developer of GTA V quit during GTA Online's final development stages because of that same pressure.

GTA Online's egregiously anti-player design was not planned at all and the things done to it are entirely the fault of Take-Two and the remaining incompetent yes-men left at Rockstar.

>>727793175

>>727768267
GTA IV hasn't been remastered because none of it's original developers are left and the new ones are too incompetent to port it.
It's also an absolute fucking mess under the hood so even talented developers would need too much time and resources for Take-Two to agree to it.

It means the novelty of mowing people down in video games wanes down the older you get. If anything, not hitting people with your vehicle by accident and not having stray bullets hit pedestrians takes more effort which makes it more fun for me, in a weird boomer way.

If I'm being honest, I was like 95% being serious. Even speeding in these games I think to myself "Man that cop would have totally pulled my ass over if I actually did that"

Actually if you kill people at random a lot of Niko's lines sounds like he's having a psychotic breakdown from war trauma so it's not really that far-fetched.
Too many people miss the point that Niko is genuinely insane and only does what he does because he literally cannot help himself.

V's missions would be a 9 out of 10 if half of the boring irrelevant "Get a job, loser. Here I'll make you do it" sections were removed.
There really is way too much animosity towards autistic neet retards in V. They deserve to be hated but it seems to be a core theme of the game and it lead to dumb shit like this.

Nah. Most of the missions are "Go do menial tasks so we can do a bank heist"

If they could get RDR2 working the way it did, GTAV should've been 8th-gen+PC exclusive.

Stick to it so you can more deeply appreciate the improvements made with the sequels. It helps to try and observe it as a time capsule of what was considered a truly revolutionary technical marvel when it came out. If you do your best to ponder every nuance of the world building and what someone might be thinking while making it without any reference on how something like GTA should work in 3D, it simply becomes more impressive.

Try to care about the dynamics happening with the factions outside of cutscenes and it may grow on you as well. There are many references to many characters from 3 as the franchise went forward and you will appreciate them more if you immerse yourself in the plot of 3, however barebones it may be.

Niko hates betrayal and arrogance far too much for that to make sense. Niko sees a lot of himself in Dwayne and doesn't want him to be so depressed. There are some interesting conversations they can have about being robbed of your hope by a sick world.
