Is it true that if you want to use a joypad you can only use an MS controller? If so, its as if MS and Rockstar want to be sued for anti-competitive behaviour.

hmmm so consoles which have 7800gtx and x1900xtx as their gc are better than pc's which have 8800gtx and quad core ?they're bitching because their computers aren't powerful enough.
sucks, but it's the truth.
and, because of that, there will be 10000 threads about how it is "poorly optimized"
just like crysis.
but this time, they'll blame it on being a "port" too.... not just "poorly coded"
sigh.

No.
The resolution, as well most of the other graphics settings, are far higher and demanding on the PC.
This is why PCs are so bad ass. We PC gamers play games that make console games look like shit. It just costs a lot more money to do it.
edit: lol he beat me to it.
I think that system is "powerful enough"
maybe not at a ridiculously high resolution.....
I dunno... I've seen people playing games at ridiculous resolutions of 1900xwhatever and 2000something x whatever...
that shit isn't normal.
games are going to have to come out and push the systems back down to reality. if this game is just a crappy port... as people seem to keep saying.... fine.
but I seem to remember people having the same problems with GTA 3 when it came to PC. Hell, people whined and complained about Doom 3. I played it on my 9700pro, and people were bitching about that. I ran it at a lower resolution than the whiners, and just had fun with the game - which is the point of a GAME lol.
I'm just going to play the game. I have purposely not upgraded the size of my LCD, because not having a CRT sucks.
1280x1024 lets you get way more life out of your system - no matter what the game.
either get a smaller LCD, just get a CRT, or bump the resolution down on the monitor you have.
or, don't play the game I guess....
no amount of "patching" or any other bullshit is going to change much here... it never does with these games.
it may fix some small glitches, but nobody is gonna be running crazy resolutions with full details yet. not with today's hardware...
oh, and I was just playing multiplayer -
32 players on a map. fucking awesome.

No, but even if it was true (which makes no sense for Microsoft or Rockstar), it still wouldn't be anti-competitive behavior.
Only the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows works with the game!

Is it a perfect port? Hell no. Nothing ever is. But if you get over the "I should be able to run it on my C2D and 2 8800's at 60FPS or it is crap" is silly. Let the hardware catch up. It did with Crysis in only 8 months time and Warhead is even better.
Just play the GAME.
Actually just found this, supported gamepads. Big deal, my Rumblepad is useless still

Just looks like a jaggy low textured mess to me.
Your computer must be exponentially more powerful than 3 year old console technology, to get a dramatic improvement in graphics, i.e. high textures and far view distance.
I cant tell whether you are being sarcastic or serious.
People that try to do an apples to apples comparison of PC and console hardware make my head hurt.
TheGooch:
that sucks man. perhaps you can turn down settings (maybe not resolution, unless you have a CRT and you don't have to fuck with stupid LCD native resolution bullshit).
LCDs are the worst thing to happen to gaming lol
It used to be that if a game was too demanding, you just turned down the resolution, and it was still good looking (for the most part).
Stupid LCDs and their native resolutions....
I always used to think anything above 1024x768 in a game was "high resolution."
I still feel spoiled playing at 1280x1024.
1600x1200 used to be the holy grail lol
And for some reason, I can't even run this game at 1920x1200, it won't let me select it. 1680x1050 is the highest I can go! And lowering the resolution only seems to make the performance work.
That still doesn't mean the game should NEED a quad core to run decently.
The are way, way too many variables for anyone to make a definitive statement like that. OS overhead is only the beginning.
obvious financial and business reasons that sometimes force a game out the door, but this is terrible.
Rockstar Toronto did the PC conversion. Same outfit that ported Bully. We know how that turned out as well.
Just one core of a penryn is more powerful than a console CPU.

Heresy!!!! Heresy I say!!!
People got used to their 8800's being able to tear through anything that came out. Then Crysis came along and upped the ante. Now they are pissed IMO.
GTAIV runs fine at good resolution and detail settings that make an X360 or PS3 look even shittier than they already do. Huge textures, farther view distance. That means mroe on screen to draw, which means more pixels to push and more complexity.

Shame Rockstar North didn't do this port. I reckon it would have turned out far better.
Christ, if an i7 can't handle it, it is either a crappy port, or just TOO much for current hardware to handle, a la Oblivion.
I didn't say anything past 1280x1024 was ridiculous.
I said that resolutions of 1900xwhatever, 2600xwhatever are ridiculous. Perhaps I worded it wrong, and the meaning was lost. Let me rephrase:
Expecting over 60fps no matter what, at resolutions like those, is sometimes expecting too much. The whole "LCD revolution" fucked PC gamers in the ass. Trust me, when everyone had CRTs, there was much less bitching.
Yeah, good job with the joke about my "forum" name. Haven't heard that one before. You should be proud of yourself- you're funny. Sorry you are upset that you can't play a game. I can, however. You can say I'm in the "stone age" all you like. However, I'm playing the game, and you aren't.
