GoGamer.com has the Grand Theft Auto IV for PC priced at $35 + $3 shipping = $38 shipped. This edition of GTA features the standard single player mode and a multiplayer mode that allows you to explore Liberty City in its entirety. [Review]
The PC version has SecuRom AND is a completely broken game (full of bugs and installation errors). The Rockstar forums are full of players who can't even play this game due to crashing.
Rated like 1.5/5 on AMazon as well. Everyone who bought this is pissed.
You have been warned.
whats the deal with secureROM?
I got it off Steam. Luckily, I had access to a normal cable modem to DL at 1.5MBs than my school's network capped at 150kBs else it would have taken like a week to DL al 16gigs.
I do have some issues with it crashing every once in a while after hours of playing. Also sometimes the graphics fail to render when I run it and I have to close it and run it again.
Def. need a patch from both nVidia and Rockstar!!!
I play it at 1280x1024 with high details etc. and get a decent frame rate of highs 30s low 40s in action. Rarely goes below that. It is certainly playable on my system, but I have heard horror stories. Also, some beta drivers updated JUST for GTA4 are out by nVidia and supposedly they up the FPS a lot. I am waiting for them to go gold before DLing.
System:
C2D 2.66ghz, 8800GT, 2gig ram, Win Xp
update: yes I am have 2 gigs of ram as I use 32bit Win XP. Will get another 2 gigs when I am forced to move to Vista or Win7 at 64bit OS. chill out
Graphics look rather nice on the PS3/Xbox versions, judging from YouTube videos I've seen. I just don't understand why they bother porting with such a high specs requirement. Assassin's Creed is barely tolerable on my system. Then again, I didn't exactly get a gaming laptop...
Does anyone know if SecuROM (in general) makes using cracks a no-no?
