That was it, thanks. Now waiting on it to process on youtube. It's nothing spectacular, just wanted to try the feature out. I'll post it later.
Once it is n the processing stage then it'll show up in your channel as processing.
 
I keep having problems with Epsilon missions. I'm doing Assuming The Truth where you steal the cars and bikes and found the Dinka Double T (using a map online) but it it hasn't come up as a vehicle they want when I get on it and the Epsilon logo doesn't appear at the garage you take them to. I've died and saved the game a few times but it still won't do anything.

Edit: Problem solved already delivered the bike but picked one up from the Lifeinvader building and was why it wasn't working.

Cute. After 16 solid hours of downloading I'd only done about 25GB!

There is a .part file in the main folder of the GTA V folder, which is only about 1kb in size. Close the downloader, delete the file and restart the downloader. At least in my case (did it about 3 times) it kept my actual download speed very high and improved or rather decreased the overall download time a bunch! Maybe it'll help :)
 
Left my PC on for 15 hours downloading the PC version yesterday. Woke up at 4am half asleep and noticed there was nothing open on my PC, so I assumed it had finished.

Went to run it today and its trying to download the last 10gb again!? Wtf! This ~60gb game has turned into more like a 90gb game.... (its downloaded the first few gb many times too)
 
GTA V on PS3: "This game looks good."

GTA V on PS3 after playing it on PS4: "This game looks like crap."
GTA V on PC after playing it on either of the above: Booya! :sly:

I'm not one of those "PC Master Race" types, don't hurt me. :P

Speaking of, purchased on Steam and preloading as we speak...

Did you get it from CD keys for steam for $40, or straight from Steam for $70? :lol:
 
Says someone who hasn't physically seen both of them in person.

Dood, I highly doubt they're going to make the game look nicer than the screenshots they've released. While true I haven't seen both running, the difference is stuff all. It doesn't give me hope for it to be amazingly better if the Sanchez which as had a pixilated livery since PS3/360 is still pixilated.

Well I'm going from PS3 to PC, which will still be a huge jump. Not to mention I'm mainly in it for the modding. (not going to play online, don't care about their bans) So win-win for me.

Graphically wise I highly doubt it.

I'd say it will be like having PS5 graphics when mods start coming out thick and fast, have you not see what people managed to do with GTA IV's drab graphics, such as with iCEnhancer and ENB?

I also think the 60fps frame rate and increased draw distance is going to make a lot of difference in motion and sense of realism. Then no doubt someone will mod in some Oculus Rift support and you'll have mind blowing glimpses and experiences of the technology of our near future, that has only really been a dream or seen in Hollywood movies so far.

I was judging this game at a face value, not with mods. Mods won't be in the game for awhile.

I'll give you draw distance though. 👍

I see, which is fair enough.

Any reason why you don't include them though when they are such a big part of the PC gaming culture? Most people don't think of something like Skyrim in it's stock form, I can't imagine most PC gamers played GTA IV in stock form, and some of the most popular games out now were born from community mods of other games (I believe Dayz, DOTA, CounterStrike, Team Fortress are some examples).

Draw distance and 60FPS alone by themselves are already a huge leap from the PS4 version. (Contrary to what the marketing departments of the publishers want us to believe, 30FPS for action games is definitely NOT acceptable).

And then there's the bigger textures, superior AA methods/DSR, improved foliage/weather/damage/traffic, etc. So yes, the difference between PS4 and PC will be huge.

But I guess we'll see the first movies/comparisons pop up in a few hours. :)

Because it comes in later life of the game. You can't say a game is a huge leap better than another when the only reason it is, is due to someone modifying the game. It's like saying a Civic is a better car than a Corolla after said Civic has had the entire car reworked.

Will they be that improved though? From what I've seen it's not exactly been any improvements in the foliage at all, it still looks blocky and not too good at all.

I'll guess we'll have to wait and see when the game actually comes out, I'm just not holding my breath.
 
Funny how quickly someones view of the PC release can change when they are told they can't have online mods.

My pre-load finished in about half a day, not bad considering I'm on internet that uses a phone line.

No difference in view. I was never looking forward to it for single player, but rather playing with mods with friends, but as I cannot do that (who knows) it's not a game I'm interested in any more. That doesn't change the fact that I highly doubt the graphics of the game at face value will be 'a massive improvement' compared to PS4.
 
Thankfully we no longer have that stupid R* watermark throughout the entire video. That thing ruined GTA IV machinimas.
 
Today felt like it was 72 hours long, but it's finally here!

Along with a 226.1MB update, Nvidia driver update (but I have to update GeForce Experience before I can download those) and other little things - Steam hasn't even preallocated the space it needs for this update yet!
