Grand Theft Auto IV for PC?

[ColonelMcMeow]

I've been searching around and haven't been able to find a copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 for the PC. I bought one of eBay, but was wondering if anyone has heard any news about Rockstar halting the sale of GTA: IV for the PC. Like I said I was able to reserve a copy on eBay, but Target, Bestbuy, Newegg, Walmart, etc. Do not have to PC version of the game. Has anyone heard about any News about this?

The PC version was a horrably ported verson of the xbox so it had alot of bugs and a power machine choked on it no more then 25 fps max, many complained probly even set the dvd on fire lol

Stores usually don't hold old games that long, esp games for the PC.

Buying games in stores, lolwut?

It's on steam, that's all that matters. Only place i've bought games for a long time. Has every game you can think of, don't have to go searching for old games.

Pretty much what cut chemist said. I tried buying prototype in a store for pc and that came out in june 09 and the store said they stopped selling it. So just get it off of steam.



However Best Buy ( at least around here ) usually has a couple popular old games for sale. Might be able to try there if steam is not an option.

Its available on Steam. I picked it during the holiday sale for like $7 (now $30 though) and it runs great on my system (mid-high end system running vista x64). I definitely recommend getting a xbox360 controller for it though.

It will make even the most powerful rigs cry. However I think its a very good port if you have an Xbox 360 gamepad. Yeah, GFWL and the Social Club are annoying, but in all the hours I ran GTA4, it never crashed on me, not once. Pretty darn stable for me. Just wish it would run smoother. It really wants a very fast CPU, preferably a quad core.

Runs fine with my setup. Before I upgraded I had to play on medium textures, because you have to have a GPU larger than 512MB's to run on high, unless you use the norestrict command which can be very buggy.

View distance is always at 35. Turning it up any more will kill the frames.

Have you looked hard at Best Buy? The one here has it for $20 and Walmart has it for $30.

My guess is Rockster stopped producing vanilla GTA IV now since the episode from Liberty city is coming out for both PS 3 and PC at the end of March.

I bet they are making game of year edition, gold edition, or whatever that include all the addons.

yea i dont see why u would buy if off ebay when u can get it on steam.

Its $10 less on eBay.
