4. "Have Fun Playing The Best Open World Game On A Toaster."
Source:LunaticOutpost"Its not comming out on Pc = its crap. GTA on a console without any mods and the shitty graphic limitation of an XBOX 360 just sucks ass. If you buy it on a 360,you are an idiot. Its more expensive,looks worse,has no mods and you play it with a controler."
An extrapolation of the PC complaint, and a fairly humorous one at that, to be perfectly honest: the above comment follows in the same thread as the opening criticism above.
Did They Play? Not a chance.
Diagnosis Not simply content with bemoaning the lack of a PC release date, this particular forum member (Arch Phoenix) takes the criticism to the next logical step, by attempting to cast aspersions on the entire console gaming world. It's this sort of entitlement that puts people off PC gamers. We all know a PC can offer infinitely more power, and more opportunities to mod, but suggesting the lack of exploitation in console gaming comes from the same kind of mentality that makes fans of a sports team convinced that they should be in charge of the team. It is arrogance to think that you can outdo Rockstar, or that your God-like exploits should be the norm for everyone, because it fundamentally sticks two fingers up at the original creators. And if Frankenstein taught us anything, it's that it's remarkably dangerous to mess with intended designs on a grand scale. Oh, and despite some reports of glitching, the wide-spread experience seems to be that the toaster-like XBox 360 is more than living up to the necessary strains of the game. So, perhaps we should be congratulating Rockstar for successfully adapting to the limitations of the current gen, and still releasing a phenomenally entertaining game. And just imagine, for one minute, what would have happened if Rockstar had only gone with a PC and Next Gen release. We're talking Mad Max-style levels of chaos, cats marrying dogs, and people openly disliking Breaking Bad.
