I am gonna wait till they fixed the major bugs...then get it off ebay cheaper.
I only support games that come out and being playable without a ton of bull programs etc you gotta install.
I don't wanna sign up to ANY of the "anti pirate" accounts they want me too so I will buy it in 4-5 months....then bypass that stuff.
il be honest with you i expected it to be REALY buggy when i first got it but its great no probs at all.
but yeah cant wait for a patch to hopefully tidy up whatever bugs have been found but i have not experienced any yet.
the anti piracy stuff isnt that bad,its there for a reason obviusly,the only problem ive had with it is is i try to laumch teh game drom the desktop it will ask me to put in the GTA disk....and its already in there lol but if you eject the disk and put it back in it launches fine.
just dropping by for a sec 
the game itself is spectacular. the only reason it has been catching a lot of flak on the internet is because of the performance issues people with slower systems have been experiencing, and the extra software needed to play it. having to install punkbuster to play a game is annoying enough. having to install both windows live, and rockstar social club, is ridiculous. integrate the software into the game itself, don't make me be FORCED to use software i am not interested in just to play your product.

You have to install all that JUST to play the game....poorly?

Where are you getting this 'poorly' word from?
I only had to install the Social Club, because I already had Live and PB installed.

maybe this is just me but i dont get the "feel" from GTA 4. i mean with previous games, especially vice city, there were certain feel to each game. with gta 4, it kinda seem like just another action game.
and yeah, the extra programs such as RSC or WL isnt that annoying. once you installed them, they dont really bother you.

I agree I refuse to install all that crap to play a game....thus why I will use other method to avoid all that when I buy the game later on.

I had those two things installed before GTA IV was released for the PC, so it's just you. And what's with your signature? I'm a very proud owner of an E8400, and am not experiencing any of these problems.. Have you tried the game for yourself? Or are you just a lemming?

Several friends have been pouting over it with theirs....also a lot of the GTA forums are cussing it out because of the poor coding for dual core. Glad yours is doing fine.
While I didn't get my quad for gaming....a lot of people feel the need to PM me why I should have got a E8400 instead. So this game brings me joy when I noticed those same people complaining ^-^
Not as many do as you think one of the top complaints is having to sign up to all that crap. I don't appreciate having to have that crap on my PC just to enjoy a video game.
Course I played it on my buddies rig...I don't plan to buy it till some patches come out. Though I am playing Lemmings 2 if that helps?
Went a head and changed the sig for you though.

Punkbuster is common nowadays, and Windows Live is an email, the only thing that was installed was the Social Club. And I still don't understand your signature. The game is running equal if not better, on my PC, than on the 360, performance and graphics wise.
