Is GTA IV a TERRIBLE console port!?

[ttg_Avenged]

I'm not asking if ya' like the game, I'm asking if it simple is a bad console port. Did they (R*) really care about PC gamers in IV?

The reason I care soooo much is because I have a i5 2550k @ 3.4GHz and an EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 680 @ stock. I only get 30-50fps. Sigh.

Lastly is this all a lie, and is my FPS normal, just that GTA IV is a system, HOG!?

i was able to play mw3 on my 9200 integrated at 30-45fps on the lowest,
L.A. Noire is also very bad,
ive heard that rockstar will make gta v for ps3 first and then they will port it to pc,
at least if they use physicx with it instead of the game engine used in gta iv (i dont remember),
i'm wondering if max payne 3 also has an bad pc port,
at least max payne 3 was released with the pc and console version at the same time,

I pray to god that you are wrong about GTA V however sadly your probably right. I'm really looking forward to GTA V just dreading the performance issues.
Ahh well.

To OP: Depending how you define terrible determines how bad it is, in comparison to Halo 2: Vista it is a much better port for example.

Hey Halo 2 Vista was a much better port! At least you didn't need beast hardware and as long as you kept V-sync on, 90% of the game was solid.
