Players Furious Over Buggy GTA IV PC Release
Jupix writes "It took Rockstar most of a year to port Grand Theft Auto IV to the PC, and while they claim this was because they wanted polish and quality with their PC release, it appears the result has been less than satisfactory. Players all over the internet are furious over numerous bugs in the release, ranging from nonfunctional internet registration and graphics glitches to completely inoperative installations. One of the game's largest retailers, Steam, has reportedly gone so far as to start handing out refunds to hordes of unsatisfied (and no doubt uncomfortably noisy) customers."
Do you know what I tell people? "Don't play commercial big publisher/big dev house games on PC's, it's a sucker's game. You're better off going console. If you want to play some obscure indie game or some old Flight sim of the type the Clancy-istas or Dale Brown-ites go gaga over, or Nethack, fine. But don't play off the shelf games on PC's."
