That said, MS did pay 50-freaking-million dollars.

I guess 50/50

My guess is not that they payed for 360 exclusivity but rather just to keep it away from sony. I wouldn't be surprised if they were free to release the content on PC after they are all done releasing it on the 360 if they wanted to.

Given that sales on the PC gets Microsoft nothing... I doubt it'll be out on the PC any time soon. It might come in a year or two, like Mass Effect... but MS seem quite happy to catch PC Gaming in the crossfire of their console war with Sony and Nintendo.

Per the left nav.

GTA 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony - Carrying sex and violence to excess?

All right. That means it is going to be good.

has been just recently been released and again causes heated discussions about sex and violence in video games - at least in Germany.

Nevermind. False alarm. German game censors.

I've just got the double pack on the 360 now I've got one again, and am playing through The Lost and the Damned first, but TBoGT looks pretty good. Finally putting the fun back into it which is what everyone wanted from the start! :onethumb

I can't play the 360 version anymore... it just looks so muddy, blurry and washed out to me... the crazy filters they have rocking on that thing.

I'll pick up any new GTA game when it drops in price a lot. I was very underwhelmed by GTA4. Still think the high-point of the series was Vice City. Or GTA1.

A patch was released yesterday.

really ? as for myself I enjoyed GTA4 a lot, moreso when I bought my GTX285 which allowed me to pump gfx settings to near max
however I'd like more power (probably processing)... since 100% cars is a bit too slow when fighting. Still, the sheer sensation of being in a real town with a lot of traffic jam is pure awesomeness in my opinion

would also like to have AA but I fear that AA4x + all max gfx settings will need a computer that's still not out on the market to run decently :?

Didn't play 4 on the PC (didn't want the forced GfWL/R*SC/Activation) so my experience of it was on the PS3. It was OK, but it didn't hold my attention. At all. :)

each of those can be unofficially disabled and apart from activation (which brings nothing except to pirates) disabling the others actually improves performance by removing some CPU load :roll:

Also forgot to say my preferred GTA was probably GTA3
