Have they even shown the god damn PC version yet? Have a really bad feeling about that one.

Might pick this up some times later this year, if the PC version is good. But I do not have my hopes up at all.

Shown at PAX , to the media and that event for Max Payne games not too long ago. PC version is great according to those who played it.

They have. Just as much as the console versions as far as I know.

I'm not sure why it's delayed, but I haven't heard anything bad about it so far, so fingers crossed.

Well Genreally Their are several reason why developers release the consoles first.

I think their was a huge thread when Arkham City was delayed.

Genreally i guess R* wants to get most of the sales from consoles since many consoles users genreally are more used to buying games @ 60$ then PC users who after 2 month will get the game for cheap or on sales. R* games always sell great numbers on consoles as well.


Everyone here saying they'll buy x console version is the reason for the delays. They'd rather force people to get a console version than risk pirates for PC. That's the only reason they delay this PC stuff and apparently it's working since people here are willing to get an inferior version instead of waiting.

Diablo 3 can also be a reason but genreally R* always delays the PC version. TBH since its a pc franchise thats the reason why the game is 15 days late. Had it been GTA or RDR, 6 months would had been guaranteed pretty much.

Hope no pc users get offended but thats what i feel why pc version are generally delayed

Interesting. Well I hope for my PC bros that it's great. Could be encouraging that it isn't being done by a different studio months after the fact like with GTA IV.

Only a few shots of the PC have been released, from what I have seen. They doesn't look anything special either. And all of the trailers have been console footage. It's almost that they doesn't want it to be found.

Really bad when a PC series gets mostly ignored on the platform. But I guess a piracy excuse will arrive sooner or later.

F'n sweet, I have like three days off next week, totally ready for Max Payne 3 baby! It's been such a long time, I really hope they get the story right.

Still not a fan of the brazil setting but ok let's not beat that old horse to death, at least there are NYC segments in the game.

But any time it's been playable for press or somewhere like PAX, the PC version has been available to play. Even the fan site event they held recently had the PC version present.

Nice OP!

Not often a fan of Rockstar Games but this sounds too good to pass up. A linear experience so that Rage and Euphoria can be pumped up to max.

HNNNNNNNGGGG!

I've didn't like the shooting in GTAV or RDR but it looks like they gave it a lot of work for this game. I hope it feels as good as it looks.

Exactly, PC version is not being ignored.. baseless accusations.

IF you plan on renting it on 360, beware of the 2 discs singleplayer.

Nah if I rent it'll be on ps3 but I'm thinking of waiting for a PC price drop because I'm sure the game doesn't look as good as those gifs do on ps3. It would definitely be the best looking rockstar game on the platform if it did.

Great OT. I love the little community we've had going in the prerelease threads so hopefully that'll carry over to this thread.

So, umm, how does the two disc thing work on the 360? Does it just ask you to change halfway through the game or is the multiplayer on the other disc?

Four banners in the |OT|, really?

I'm not going to buy into the Rockstar hype again, is a demo planed?

I have to say, i don't like it at all. Shit looks just stupid and not funny ...not one bit. Should have sticked with Simo's banner.

I still can't forget GTA IV.

The only hype train that let me down a bit was LA Noire, and Rockstar just published that title.

both were a HUGE letdown for me. Thinking about it, the only R* game i really really enjoyed was RDR (one of my favorite games this gen). Don't know why but i couldn't get into the GTA series.

But how closed is the environment that its tested on? Lets wait and see what the consumer impressions are in real world testing.

I believe you could go into the graphics options menu in the preview build, which featured a good number of options not indicative of a poor port. But I could be remembering another game.

I rented RDR, and I played the game just for the gameplay (skipping all the cut-scenes, etc.) - turns out that RDR is an endless "padding" of "samey" quests and just really boring.
But i guess it's not intended to be played like that, so i can't really call it a letdown without giving it a fair chance.

Same; I play it still ;)
HA!

Piracy is a pretty fucking good excuse.

A primarily single player PC game? Come on, now, it's going to be pirated to hell and back. That's not to say there wouldn't be legitimate buyers as well, but it could definitely help.

I'm pretty disappointed in the delay myself, however, as I would much prefer getting my hands on the PC version next week.
