I was surfing the forums at GTAFORUMS.com and stumbled upon a thread about a review of Grand Theft Auto iv for pc. Here is the review.
The “writer” cries about applications that hog resources. As if they are a whole other operating system running in the background. Sorry dude, I have gamed every GTA game through Linux using wine ( with the exception of GTAIV, will do soon though.) and I know resource hogging programs when I see them.
The “writer” complains about Rockstar Social Club as if it leaves a huge foot print. Come on !!!!!!, it’s 28 mb at the most. Then the “writer” goes on crying that he had to create a login for MS Live. Oh come on dude. The game just won Game of the Year for the console versions. Really it’s ok to log in and see when your friends are on. No really, it will not hurt to see when people are ready to game with you.
The “writer” goes on to say that He will buy the xbox30 version instead, and rattles off something about pc gamers being treated like pirates. Sorry clowns, but people pirate games for XBOX360 at 10 times the rate PC does. Who are you fooling with this? Google it see for yourself.
My review of that review, concludes : Utter crap written by a moron who does not know how to tweak his own computer and no intentions of ever upgrading his hardware. On that note, bit-tech.net = fail useless website. Nice work asshats.
For the record, I play the game . On a budget PC. $311 budget to be precise. NO overclocking involved.
