DBK And people say PC Gaming is better, sike...


It is better and it doesn't really have anything to do with consoles or PCs the main problem is Rockstar always delaying release dates first it started of for the heists and now this! It's ridiculous for a big company like Rockstar.


Wait? You're saying you'd rather have a half completed game earlier than a full game later? Come on, how stupid are you? People would have been moaning that the PC version isn't complete - and the console games are better. It's all opinion, just like your fashion sense. If we all agreed on one company, then there would only be one company that made everything! We wouldn't get a choice, we'd be wearing the same clothes, living in the same houses, eating nothing but the same food for our whole lives. This planet is diverse, I swear some of you people don't even deserve the Oxygen that our amazing planet provides for us. It's like I'm one of the only people that speaks after thinking, and actually knows what I'm talking about.

At first you were talking about the game then how I don't deserve oxygen? grow up mate.

I was talking about the way Rockstar delay things for example the heists for consoles they must have delayed that at least 3 times.

The-MonstrosityPosted:

cant understand this, they have set so many realease dates... will it actually ever come out/?? ffs

BrigandPosted:

Can understand why they delayed the release for PC. Rather have a completed and substantial game rather than a game with multiple problems that could potentially ruin the game.

RockstarGamesPosted:

DeluxeHazard The PC version of GTAV will probably be out before Heists. Anyways, the mods on the PC version of GTAV will be amazing.



"Online Heists for consoles will be launching in the coming weeks ahead of the PC launch."

CartierPosted:

Really cool game but my guess is they're going to move it again after this. They continue to do so.

LiaPosted:

I am not to sad about the date being moved, but i really can't wait to play it!
