    Unfortunately the game is also delayed until March 24, but a delay for bugfixing/general polish is never a bad thing. The recommended specs are really really low and forgiving, so I'm guessing it really is well optimised this time around.

    Just happy that I can run it.

    It's incredible on how Rockstar keeps delaying things again and again. Maybe it's true that the want to polish up things, but for me, they just want to sold more copies of GTA for consoles.

    The console copies will still sell well after the PC version is out. They still could've sold a ton of copies on the consoles if the game was coming out on its original date of Jan 27th, so I doubt that's the reason for the delay. If there's one developer who you can believe when they say it's to make the game better, it's Rockstar.

    nice.

    i can wait for longer, no problem. but, the longer i have to wait for this game, the higher my expectations are gonna be. at this point, if it's not super wonderful and as non-gtaiv porty as possible, then i might give them my money. (i'm still playing regardless)

    I'm ok with waiting, if the game improves...

    But rockstars communication just sucks tbh.

    Announced release dates:
    Fall 2014
    7.1.2015
    24.3.2015

    I'm starting to not looking forward to it anymore... it's almost 1 1/2 years old, we've seen everything...

    interesting, my laptop (specs below) should be able to run it then (if windows can find the 1.5gb of graphics). I know GTA IV runs decent...

    A 660 is a mid-end GPU that's already outdated. Get a 760. Or wait for the 960.

    Yeah get a 760! I just built my new PC with a EVGA GTX760 2GB Superclocked and this badboy performs. Can run any of the latest games on Highest\Max settings. Only cost me about $250 from newegg when on sale.
    Definitely will be buying another to SLI!





    Specs: i5 750 OC 3.4ghz, GTX 760 2GB Superclocked, ASUS P7P55D, 8GB RAM, CX 600W, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Sadly no, the game will use the Social Club and will need permanent internet connection to be played, even in single player

    social club is fine IMO

    however rockstar never said ANYTHING about a PERMANENT internet connection, they said PERIODIC

    now i don't know how it is in europe, but here in america periodic does NOT mean permanent

    Your CPU is slightly above the minimum requirements, and your GPU is quite a bit above the minimum requirements, so you can probably play it on low settings.
