Could somebody give me a little help please. I've (just) got the money to buy the games on PC but I am very unsure on weather or not to buy it as I would potentially have it on 3 platforms (PS3, PS4 and then PC). The graphics look fantastic but I feel that would be the only reason to pick up the game. My mates don't play GTA much and I feel I would be playing the game just by myself (like I did back on PS3). Any help would be fantastic (sorry for the long paragraph).

This is mostly a personal question, but he is what I would do. If you would be buying it just for offline playing, what is the rush of buying it today (release day)? I would wait and see what advantages you get from getting the PC version of the console ones, and how well it would run on your machine once benchmarks start to come out. During the time you wait, you can start to see if mod support is becoming more viable. If GTA V support mods like IV then that might be reason enough to get it again, but again, this is all personal preference. By waiting you will start to see all of these variables more clearly and be able to make a more informed decision.

TL;DR - If you are going to play it offline, and already have the game on console...

Thanks for the reply. I will take all of that into consideration. When GTA came out on PS4, I said I wouldn't buy it. But then three days later, I bought it. So I will try and not buy it until I feel the time is right and when the massive hype of the PC release has kinda disappeared (The same hype with the PS4 version that lead me to buy the game).
