being a pc gta fan is just paying later
I am already tired of the PC version and it does not even exist in my library.
Console gets the big first night. Everybody discovers the weird side missions together, uploads every radio joke, learns the ending, fills my feed with clips. PC players get to mute half the internet and pretend spoilers can be dodged for months.
Then when our version finally arrives we get to ask the sacred questions. Does it stutter when entering downtown? Does compiling shaders take longer than the opening cutscene? Does mouse input feel like a controller wearing a fake moustache?
And yes, some of us will buy it twice. That is the part companies understand perfectly.
I did it with GTA V. Bought it on console because my friends were there, then PC for higher frames and mods. I complained during both purchases like that made me less stupid.
PC is where GTA lives longest. FiveM, graphics mods, stupid vehicle packs, private servers, all of it. Still treated like the cousin who gets invited after dinner.
The worst part is people saying the extra wait means it will be polished. Brother I have launched enough PC ports to know a later date does not scare away shader stutter.
I just want day one with everyone else for once. Not the deluxe archaeological edition after every secret is already a thumbnail.
