I'm currently decrypting the game.I currently have the 360 version Pre-Order. I just wonder has any of the reviews said if the framerate holds? I heard some say PS3 performs a little better is their any truth to this?
If the 360 & PS3 is on par with one another or even close to one another, Their is no reason to switch to the PS3 Version.

Well, this is a breath of fresh air.
I know - it's GTA. But, it is so ridiculous, insane, and hilarious that I can't help but be impressed. Gaming has been quite stoic and serious over the last few years. A lot of gritty, snarling protagonists and their 'sexy' sidekicks, in 'realistic' settings. SR3 is just complete and total lunacy. Metatextual, postmodern (which is actually referenced in the dialogue), and for a change, a game that is genuinely witty. Also, while the color palette heavily favours purple, the game is a technicolor marvel.
The PC version runs fine. I've had no problems. In fact, it's quite a demanding game in DX10/11 - I am running it on medium, and I'm getting fairly consistent framerates, although there is a little bit of stuttering. Still, it's nothing like the abomination of SR2, and for a cross-platform title, has a reasonably advanced array of configuration options.
So, I like it. I've been enjoying Skyrim quite a bit (like everyone else), but I will definitely be putting some serious hours into this title.
If any of you were on the fence regarding format - the PC version is fine. Tread confidently, Gaf.

Unlike SR2 port ( ported by the Witcher guys) Volition made this one and it's not a port since it was developed simultaneously with the other version in-house.
RFA PC version was the definitive version ( still a bad game) and it look like it's the same with SR3 so 2/2 for Volition.
Gentlemen of the Row mod fixed that bad port, seriously.
I'm really glad to hear that the PC is running great for all of you. The PC team here put in a lot of work to make it run well across a variety of systems. Remember to update your video card drivers as well! Many people forget this and it's a quick thing to do that generally helps a ton.mxgt said:
Also, small heads up for those picking up the game tonight on 360. The codes will not actually go live until approximately 1AM PST / 4AM EST for the co-op code or Genki code. Once MS does their weekly update, all the codes will go live, and then you'll be able to play with your co-op partner and start shooting civilians everywhere with the manapult. Note that PC and PS3 codes should already be working.

who has the VPN info??
So far the only things that bum me out are being unable to switch which shoulder you fire from (to effectively fire around corners) and the driving is a bit too stiff and controlled. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but it doesn't seem like you can drift or powerslide through a turn.. It's either something where the backend momentum isn't part of the driving model or the e-brake is designed oddly.

OneLetter - it's great that you're here to answer questions from the community. I love the game. Two hours in, and it is amazingly fun. Probably rivaling Just Cause 2 for my favourite GTA-style sandbox of all time.
Just a couple of questions:
I'm getting a little bit of staggering in outdoors areas. My machine is an i7@2.93ghz, 8gig ram, and a 5970, running on a Velociraptor drive. Could this be an issue with AMD drivers, or should I simply be lowering my settings?
I'm actually quite blown away by how well your individually created character seamlessly enters cutscenes and the game world. Brilliant stuff.

Those of you listing your PC specs when discussing performance/framerates should also mention what resolution you're running it at. Often dropping down the res can make a big difference.
