Mr.Vic20 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Good to hear, but I'll wait to see how the port is. I played about 30 hours of the Xbox One X version and its an odd game of high quality world building and functional drudgery. I wouldn't mind owning this one just to experience the world at its best fidelity, but if I'm being honest, I'll likely not finish it.

Dodger Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I tell myself one day I'll force myself to go back and finish this but spoilers, I'm pretty sure everyone but John Marston dies so it's not like I need to find out whatever is going to happen to everyone.

Xbob42 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Unless they redo the controls to make them less shitty and also make the game fun instead of trying to sell me on the "immersive cowboy" experience, I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 If they actually do proper M&KB support, it could be orders of magnitude better than the console version. Granted, they ought to have had much better controls for controller than they did, but I feel like it's harder to screw up M&KB. But hey, maybe they'll surprise me!

eggydoo Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 gta5 m/kb i thought was pretty bad except shooting....driving around was terrible, esp the races. I would switch to controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I mean, I wasn't the one who bought RDR2(thx wade), but I sure as shit won't own it on PC unless it is basically free at some point. Even if the controls are amazingly fixed and perfect, outside of the main story, the SP shit is kinda weak. Hunting is overall pointless. Not too many side activities that are worth the players time, only the stranger missions. And I can't see them making the gunplay good.

Mouse and keyboard has always been like this with GTA on PC. With San Andreas, motorcycles actually handled decently and you could manage to fly the plane, but it was nigh-impossible to drive a car without hitting anything and the helicopter was literally broken. I imagine a horse might control okay with WASD though. Depends on how many really sharp turns/etc are required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexterryu Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I'd consider double dipping for RD Online, which I have no idea if it's good or not. Not sure if I'd play through the SP again or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I play shooters on PC that also have vehicles, I often leave a controller next to me and just switch when I get in a vehicle. That said, you also have to shoot while on horse in this game, which would benefit from the KB&M! I suppose it's unclear how well it will end up and I probably won't be re-purchasing the game to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 There was a time when I'd have loved this. Now, I know it's unlikely they'll actually make the game fun. This game stands out as the biggest fall from hype I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make significantly more on the other storefronts (the storefronts take a lesser cut). So they know there’s a big chunk of people who will get it wherever it is day one, and it’s probably smart to then keep the gap between allowing it on steam pretty short so people who have the principled thing of they’ll never ever use the EGS don’t lose interest.

GTA5's shooting mechanics are still well below every other major third/first person game. But what other games have spoiled me on is the responsiveness of character movement. Breath of the Wild has spoiled the constrains of obstacles and barriers (like walls). Games like Apex, Titanfall, Just Cause, Akrham series, Middle-Earth, and etc have spoiled me on vertical-ity. Open world games without a quick way to maneuver around and/or OVER obstacles just feel so antiquated. Red Dead probably won't suffer as much from this because of it's overworld design and setting, but I find free roaming in GTA5 boring because of this.

Bacon Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 If this game ever hits 30, it is worth it just for the story, if you have never played the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 $30 is probably what I'd pay, given all that's been said here. Part of me just wants to wait buying it until I get a PC upgrade some while down the road, and I could max everything 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'm just gonna say it: Rockstar can build one hell of a world, but their games just aren't that fun to me personally. GTA 5 was the very first GTA game that I was able to stick with long enough to finish. I did sort of like the first Red Dead, but never finished it; if I ever get around to RDR2, I'm probably not finishing it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of preordering through the Rockstar Launcher -- given the way they are handling the pre-orders, it makes it hard for me to determine whether I would get a better deal thru GMG by waiting... Edit: More Details from PC Gamer Quote We'll need to do our own benchmarking before we decide what specs we recommend. Though Rockstar didn't specify, 'minimum' specs often target 1080p 30 fps, while 'recommended' specs tend to target 1080p 60 fps. Many of us enjoy games at 1440p and want to target 120 fps or higher, and we'll find out what you'll need for that kind of performance once we've got a build. No surprises, though: A 2018 console game shouldn't require a beast of a PC. That said, Rockstar's done some work on RDR2 since its console release. According to the developer, the PC version will include: Increased draw distance "Higher quality" global illumination and ambient occlusion "Improved" snow trails "Improved" reflections and higher resolution shadows Tessellated tree textures "Improved" grass and fur textures HDR support Unlocked resolution (4K and higher) Ultrawide aspect ratio and multi-monitor support Unlocked framerate The most important takeaways from our perspective are the unlocked resolution and the unlocked framerate, which PC Gamer confirmed with Rockstar separately from today's press release, which just promised "faster" framerates.
