Your wagina when?
GTA 4 MP still works on consoles and are populated.
on PC you can also get online up and running with a bit of work but there's only like 30 people online at a time during peak hours
IIRC you need a key to play through GWFL, alternatively you could just use the GTA connected client but that's kind of ass from what I've heard. Consoles are still your best bet, series x runs at 60fps but I'm not sure about xbone or playstation.
NIKO MY COUSIN LET'S GO BOWLING
that's a very unplayable port op
I still prefer playing this game on PS3 and 360 over PC. Even with all the performance issues and the bad quality (not for me because i have a small TV but it's definitely noticeable on current TVs), it has a charm to it that I can't really appreciate with the PC version.
Like what exactly? I know the soundtrack is intact in the PS3 version and various visual effects were preserved but is there anything else?
Not much at all really, it's just my personal experience with it. I got a good PC and did play the entire game on there, but I just wasn't feeling the same way. The best option isn't necessarily gonna be everyone's favorite, and I guess this is mine.
The PS3 controller was not great, and is complete trash compared to a 360 controller, but there's something incredibly cozy about GTA's targeting on it.
Shooting is better with kb/m
Driving and everything else is better with controller
the shooting is lock on based? so what's the problem?
any shooter is better with kbm, in the case of gta 4 you don't have to use the gears of war cover system at all and just use placement to take cover, makes it much better to play
replayed on PC recently. tried using controller to drive, it sucks. keyboard is perfectly fine for both shooting and driving. did all the content 100% completion no issue, exact same as i've done with all GTA games. only console babbies gimp themselves with a controller on PC.
having replayed all the 3d gta about a year ago I think you can absolutely use keyboard for driving, especially older ones, but from IV and on controller is best
you just have to get used to the "tank controls", but once you get the hang of it (and a decent car) it's an absolute joy to drive, just switch between controller and kbm
I hear Rockstar games are fricked on PC.
GTA5 was fine, and the 3d era is obviously superior to ps2.
(it's basically GTA4 and stuff from that era they completely fricked up)
Why did microsoft completely bungle games for windows live? They'd been doing xbox for nearly a decade at that point, they knew games.
GTA 4 specifically is pretty screwed if you don't mod it, but yeah, all of their ports are of questionable to passable quality
only the og gta4. pic related version of gta4, gta5 and rdr2 all run like greased lightning on my 550 dollar prebuilt gtx1650 piece of shit
Nice. I should look into that torrent if i wanna hit GTA4 again.
do you fix or keep in the dumb car handling?
the only people who can't handle the heavy cars of gta4 are people who don't drive irl
PC gaming is soulless
PC as a whole feels lonely compared to console. The PC populous is spread out between so many different games that most games I enjoyed are completely dead now compared to console. Steam profiles are all hidden by default now so even if you go to add someone you meet you don't know what kind of fricking weirdo they are until you add them and their 20sec scroll furry profile shows itself. Back in the day on PSN you only seen an avatar, their achievements, and a short comment. You really didn't get to dox yourself for free on your profile like it's facebook. It was all game related.
I don't want to know what your fetishes are, I want to know what games you play and thats it.
remember to hang out with the best rasta
I take him to Cluckin Bell
just emulate it in RPCS3. unless you really need 100% emulation accuracy.
Does it even emulate well?
no idea, but i'm just saying that a lot of people cant into emulation because it's not literally perfect emulation.
Just lock the framerate to a cinematic 24 fps for the true console experience
the game on ps3/360 has a completely different aesthetic to PC, same as SA does.
R* tend to go heavy on post processing on consoles and dial it down for PC. the colour filters, timecyc, depth of field, motion blur etc are different on PC. PC has better textures, higher framerate and further draw distance, sharper shadows and traffic density, and these things are what tank the performance because the game isn't multithreaded to cope with that.
you can turn the settings down to console equivalent and get high framerates easily but PC gamers insist on setting the draw distance to 100 (which is roughly 15/100 on console) and then wondering why the single threaded engine cant cope with it
playing single threaded is like insisting on redlining in 1st gear in your car, so even if you have a shitbox or a testarossa you are gonna have shit performance compared to what you'd normally have?
yeah exactly
How much work would it be to convert it to a multithreaded game engine, just curious? would it be literally remaking the game from the ground up or is there any way to convert it?
it would take a lot of work is all i can say, there hasn't really been any case of a game as recent as GTA4 being rewritten from the ground up or heavily modified like that
rockstar will probably do it themselves, i really hope once GTA6 comes out they can do their remake projects instead of shitting them out to no name devs.
On PC you can set the option "Defintion" to Off and it will give you the same smeary blur look as well as motion blur when you drive fast.
>it will give you the same smeary blur look as well as motion blur when you drive fast.
No, it won't.
It gives you motion blur and depth of field and a vaseline filter, but they are not the same as what is present on console.
It sucks but its true. GTA IV looks very different on PC and while certain things are definitely improved, other things frick with the aesthetic of the game which makes it feel different.
Deal ending or revenge Ganker?
revenge, because I was just so fricking seethe with dimitri fricking with me the whole game I wouldn't do a deal with him. and even at 13 i could put two and two together it would be a scam.
i never beat it
The good ending is the one where your girlfriend dies. You barely knew her after she friendzoned you for the entire campaign compared to Roman who literally helps you through the worst difficulties. Bros before hos.
Bowling doesn't solve all of life's problems.
I know. That's what strippers are for.
>ps3
the ps3 was de-souled i tell ya
you can tell it all went to shit the instant they ditched the cool spiderman font and the neat disc boot jingle
I had that one. still do, but it overheats so its basically bricked.
the pc version is fine as long as you don't frick with the graphic settings, played through it many times, kn/m works well even for the driving
>Always wanted to play through GTA4, but something always happens (Disc breaks, save lose, ect) so I never finished it
>Got the GTA Definitive edition for free and 100% all of those games, so now I am finally going to go through GTA4
>My disc drive on my Series X isn't working properly
>Oh well, I already have the game digital anyway
>BUT THEN I REMEMBER I HAVE THE DLC IN DISC FORM SO THAT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY THEM AGAIN DIGITALLY
This game is fricked cursed
Can you not put the DLC disc in and download it?
his disc drive isn't working
man i really wish Sony would get their shit together with backwards compatibility, nobody wants to pay $180 A YEAR when PS+ is $50 a year for streaming backwards compatibility. That's like the one thing you guys got that we don't.
Isn't on ps3 like 640p with no AA?. homie play it on PC at 4K 60FPS, it's essentially a new game.
ps3 was 720p. they kept that resolution no matter what at the cost of frame rate.
It was 720p on Xbox 360. For PS3, they had to reduce it to 640p, add in a custom smear to cover the aliasing, and it still didn't perform well. Take off the nostalgia goggles.
How hard are the gta 4 online trophies?
PC via emulation is the only way to play GTA III, VC, SA and IV.
Just use DXVK you moron.
all these games are native on pc why would you even play them with a controller is beyond me
only one which is a pain to play is SA as it has some issues with modern computers, depends on how lucky you are and how much troubleshooting you're willing to go for it
controllers are comfier. I know how to use a kb/m but a controller just feels right.
meh, lock on is pretty bad on the 3 trilogy
oh, sorry, no. I thought you meant GTA4. San andreas and before did not have a good lock-on.
