GTA 5 PC Questions

[Mr_Venbeer]

Hi,
I have a few questions to ask about Grand Theft Auto V PC version.

1. Should I buy the Digital copy or Physical disk of the game? (Steam or Eb Games)
2. What should I play first? The Singleplayer or the Multiplayer? (I want to play both)
3. How well will my system perform when I throw this game at it?

Game on Steam $59.99 ~ $72 AUD
Disk on Eb Games/JB-HI-FI $89.99 AUD

Specs:
FX-8320 @ 3.8Ghz
MSI Radeon 7950 3GB GDDR5 (880 core, 1250 mem)
(2x4GB) 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600

Thanks.

1. The game is essentially the same whether you install it from a disc or download via interwebz - so whatever rocks your boat. The physical copy probably has a good map with the entire area on it though.

2. don't know - the campaign is usually quite good in GTA games.

3. If the game is as bad a port as GTV IV was, then you might get 20 fps with every setting set to low. If they spend just a little effort to optimize the pc-version, you should be fine.

But I was able to run GTA 4 on High settings (not maxed) at 30+ FPS with my old CPU that bottlenecked my graphics card.

They had all the time in the world. It better be a good f**king port, because I waited over a damn year for this game to be released on PC. And if it turns out to be just like Watch Dogs and AC Unity then I'm done with Rockstar Games.

Thanks for the reply

2) Having completed the game on Ps3 , I will say do story missions first. There are quite a lot (70 i think). I did those and some other side missions and got 80% completion. Doing story mission will keep you from getting bored(side missions are.. well repetitive as you may expect) and main missions will get you a lot of cash for buying cool cars and weapons that will speed up the rest of the side missions . (in case you want to platinum/100%)

Multiplayer is quite fun and will keep you coming back to get extra bang for the buck but story missions the best part IMO.

I just hope studio that ported Max Payne 3 to PC will get the job for porting GTA V (Rockstar North I think). That was a good port.
And I hope that studio responsible for GTA IV will not do the porting...

But I don't get this part (where is it even from):

Rockstar =/= Ubisoft

That's nothing lol. I have completed San Andreas like 4 times and it's like 104 missions. I'll definitely play the singleplayer first.

By that I meant getting terrible FPS with a decent PC with not even maxed settings (low-medium). I just want to be able to play at 60+. I don't care if it means play on low.
