I just did!!!! ^-^
And a thick fat kudo for your effort in pointing it out for us!! +1 :-X :-X
Thanks Bin. Judging by how much you want a PC version, I know you did ;D
I think the petition will surpass 1 mill sigs in no time
Indeed. Everyone got to spread the word! ;)
I did - here's the direct link to the GTAV PC version change.org petition
http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/rockstar-release-gta-v-on-pc (http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/rockstar-release-gta-v-on-pc)
Thanks for pointing that petition out to us, durian :) And PZ, for easy access. :-()
Although I want, no, WANT that game to be released for the PC, I won't sign that petition. I don't hand out that sort of data they want me to fill in, anywhere on the net. I already stated that I expected a PC release anyway due to the huge success of the console release and come on, it's not that Rockstar completely forgot the fact that there are people playing games on their PCs -- and what do you think they developed that game on? :-D
just by the way, I think I found a nice
official "docking station" for us

I have been thinking about the delay. I believe Rockstar is actually being clever doing what they do for various reasons. You already know or can think of the usual stuff but I want to point out one that hasn't been focused on, the massive online gaming.
Rockstar already admitted that they're "buying servers" and all sorts of stuff to fix problems that are so obvious already even before they go online just to make sure it won't start with a massive disaster. Then they are prepared to keep fixing whatever may come up in order to give their customers a nice experience rather than a feeling of being ignored and abandoned. It is important to understand that we're talking about consoles only, right now. Imagine the potential mess they'd be in if they had to take care of both console and PC gaming independently.. console first, then PC or the other way round, they'd very likely start to annoy customers of the respectively other platform.
With that in mind, I think the PC players will profit from what Rockstar learned fixing the console world's problems so when the PC version comes out, we're likely to get a polished product and that only because Rockstar knows how to focus. Focus on console first, fix it until everything is running as smoothly as possible and only then start to focus on the PC release.
In other words, be patient, it will pay off :)
I wish it will be like that, but the PC release of GTA IV was different; unless the experience they had with consoles, the PC release was incredibly troublesome. Actually, when recently released ppl spoke so bad about the 'glitchy appearances' in both online as single player gaming, that it was becoming bad publicity for sure.
In the end they fixed all the wrong stuff, and they have been delivering steady online play without lag or other common problems as far as I know, with good and solid MP menus and no fucked up matchmaking issues, they made up for it big time. And they also kept fighting against cheating bastards (man there were so many) like disabling certain achievements when cheats were active, so they did care for their online gaming community. :-X :)
But the start was far from smooth ::)
I remember that, which was essentially what kept me from buying the game. You were the one who made me play it and by then all problems had been solved so I started out smoothly. What I think is, Rockstar is head and shoulders above the rest of the industry and they will have learned their lessons. Which means, either they come up with a nice PC version or.. none at all :-D But hey.. no need to be pessimistic.

I think so too - did anyone play online RDR? If so, how was that experience?
Couldn't tell PZ, it only came out on consoles 8-X
Spoiler
:'( :'(
Yep, that sucked. I could have really gotten into an open-world Western game for PC. I tried Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, but it was so bloody scripted and so bloody linear that I bloody well gave up on it.
I'd of liked to play RDR, too.

I did not know that. It's a good game and reminds me of GTA V
You guys may want to try Sleeping Dogs, it's a good game and PC version (vanilla) looks very impressive, especially at night during raining.
good idea :) You can read more about it here (http://www.openworldgames.org/owg/forums/index.php?topic=2790.0) ;)
I was looking forward to the game when it came out, but when it was there, I lost interest. Have read about the game like being a disappointment. :-\\
by the way, some people digging around in the code of GTAV found directX 11 snippets and other code snippets indicating a possible PC version. Just a rumor, I think it might just as well be a hint that they coded it on a PC. However, I don't think that Rockstar will let us down. They didn't with GTAIV and GTAV is an even bigger success.
Hello Michael ;D
The petition has just reached nearly 600,000 sigs
Hehe, so people do recognise my new avatar :-D
Cool, 600k is impressive.
Of course people do. I've noticed you're playing 2 games now: FC3 and "waiting for GTV V PC"
Anyways, there is some good news for you guys:
GTAV PC release date and tester leaked PC shots:

Thanks for the news :)
However, I don't believe in gossip or screenshots. How do you think I got my avatar? A screenshot of a video. I could easily open any program in windowed mode and take a screenshot of my desktop and then edit in a screenshot taken from a video on YouTube and then take another screenshot of the edited desktop so it will have consistency. Easy. However. Let's wait and see.. and hope. :)
I'm normally a "the glass is half empty" kind of guy, but with this PC release, I've switched to "the glass is half full"
half full of air or liquid? :-()
Equal, my friend - either is the same :-()
I like that type of logical logic :-D
:-D
I'm an engineer: The glass is neither half-empty or half-full, but is instead an inefficient utilization of storage space :-()
Thanks for the heads-up durian 8)

Did you check the icons on the guy's desktop? I could be mistaken, but if you check bottom left you see evidence of a Duke Nukem Forever instalment :-D

Thanks for the kudo durian :)

SD brought some things new to the table like the driving hijack and the armor trucks which just made their appearances in GTA V. :)
Sleeping Dogs Gameplay Video Vehicle Hijacking (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETGJgqHhiSI#ws)
I had to switch off the sound because I can't stand his favourite radio station's noise :-D Car-jacking looks dangerous.. and I never saw the drivers stop or heard them complain or saw them getting chucked out of their cars. Weird :) At least the player can steal cars and drive them. Over all, I'm not excited about sleeping dogs but I think GTAV is absolutely stunning, can't wait to get it on my PC ^-^
The armoured trucks are not new in GTAV, the same "Gruppe 6" money transports already existed in GTAIV and San Andreas (I don't know the predecessors) :)
I didn't know the armored trucks already appeared in previous games. I thought SD's devs created it first. My bad. The driving hijack in SD was easy to pull off and fun. The devs just announced they are developing the new game sets in the same universe called Triad Wars.
nothing to worry about, durian :)
Cool video :-X
I have not seen armored cars yet - I wonder if there is money that goes along with that theft.
all of the previously mentioned GTA games had those white-green trucks with money inside. In GTAV, you need to blow up the back doors, i.e. use sticky mines or some such.

I see - I'm nowhere near far enough to experiment like that yet, but another thing to look forward to. I just can't seem to find enough time to play these days - although I have plenty of free
moments, I like to have long contiguous times to play, which are unfortunately rare
I hope that you'll get some more time soon, PZ. Sometimes you just can't help it, I had those times, too, but it will change again eventually. :)
Thanks, AB - I'm sure it will get better, but not just yet! :-()
About the armoured trucks: They do carry value indeed. When you blow them up in GTA IV, the street gets green literally ^-^ You can collect over $2000,- with it :-X
I'll check the value of such an action in GTA San Andreas. I'm trying to remember about earlier versions of the money trucks, but a quick check on GTA wiki learns that indeed the "Securicar" was first introduced in GTA III already. And I do remember some of it, since both that truck and the ambulance were the types of vehicles that could stand the most damage before blowing up, while still having easy handling and fast speed ;D
This game continues to impress; there is so much open world potential, and I've really not even started many of the missions. Did my first heist last weekend
It's almost official ^-^ :-X
