Im at a fork in the road here, and would appreciate if the community could offer me support onto which decision I should make, gta5 releases in 2 days and I am very excited for it although it's only coming out on consoles for now/ I was going to get it on ps3 but since starting to play on pc with beautiful graphics and 60fps I feel it's going to be a restrictive experience on consoles, so im not sure whether to buy it or wait later. Because there have been many leaks on other forums and videogame sites that a pc version is coming out eventually but rockstar is trying to sell the console version right now as much first for profit. And I remember how horrible gta 4 is consoles the gme would dip down to 25 fps alot of the time, and this game looks even crazier now. So Idk

Yeah, I was having trouble deciding too. I am a big GTA fan, but I really didn't want to buy it for my PS3 if the PC version was going to be out in a month or two.

I decided I couldn't wait months for it, and so now I've preordered it. I don't care too much about graphics. The main reason I prefer PC is mods, so yeah.

Personally, I would buy it on console at the moment.

The reason why I say this is mainly because of what happened with LA Noire on the PC, since PC requires more data for games LA noire file size was 60GB or so. But the big problem was that the game struggled because the HDD couldn't transfer data enough. I manage to get passed this issue with an SSD.

GTA V will be yet again a 60GBish game so I'm pretty nervous to see how this go's but one thing you might want to keep in mind is that GTA V also has a multiplayer.

So I would buy GTA V on your PS3 because at the moment we don't exactly know the file size but what we do know that its big! because the xbox version requires a big installation.

Hi. Your writing is so... Try to concentrate
PC version should come out after about 6-8 months, because GTA SA came out after 7 months after console release, GTA 4 came out after 8 months after console release.
I can't understand what you are asking for.
PC version of course will look nicer, smoother.
If you want to play on console buy it as soon as it come out. If you are looking for pc remember that it will be released much later and will be ultra only on high end expensive systems.

Thanks,

Sorry about the poor sentence structure, unfortunately I was typing this question quickly as I was in a rush and didnt have time for separating them.
I do have a high end-system that can easily handle gta 5 especially if it's better optimized than gta 4, my concern is whether or not to wait for a pc version or just get it now on console.
Thanks for the feedback you guys :)

True, wellp Im also just going to get it the day it comes out on ps3, and voiidwulf tell me your psn name because im probably going to actually game on my ps3 for a while now with all the gta 5 content. If it does eventually come out on pc, I'll just torrent it for pc like I did gta 4 ;P

My PSN is TehBamboozler, but I don't have a mic or anything. As I said, I mostly just played exclusives on console this generation.

And discussion of piracy is not allowed here. Pirating it would be challenging anyway, the game is going to be like 30GB+.
