The "I got GTA3 PC" thread

[Freeze]

Same.. My home PC is getting a bit long in the tooth, and I could get a console for less than the price of an upgrade.

But then again, with games like NWN coming out, I think i'll just spring for that parhelia...

This game is awesome.

It runs perfectly on my PC, even with anti-aliasing and 1280x920.

A bit too addictive though.

You think so...ever since I got the game, I haven't even had time to play Civ3 Or any other game for that matter...

The game is just awsome, it's just annoying that controlling the guy (when walking) is not the same as it used to (in GTA and GTA II), it's too difficult to control him, with the keyboard, you have to change to mouse

But I like this new map style, I just got to island two last night...

And the best thing of all, it uses the Graphic card most, so even as I have a P3 500Mhz I can still play the game in 1280x1024x32, just because I have a GeForce 3 TI200...thank God I bought that card a few months ago

Anyway, gotta go kill somebody

Yeah, one of my underlings has been talking about this game all week. He said that the PC controls are much better than the gamepad especially on sniping.

Anyone know if its coming out for the xbox? It was set to be released shortly after the pc game i think but it seems to have slipped off the release list

I got GTA3 PC

and it's GREAT...especially now that i got a new pc, amd 1800 xp, with gforce 4mx...it runs smoothly in 1024, haven't tried anything better yet...

But the things you can do are amazing...i've only finished 2 missions, but i've been playing for three hours straight...just finding out what i can do...

I got this game, and it plays pretty lousy on my PIII 1Ghz, 256MB, GeForce 2 Go (w/32MB RAM) machine. Is there anything I can do?

I have played much prettier games much faster than this game is playing. I strongly hope that there is a performance improving patch released, since I've already checked and I can't return it.


Or is there something I can do? I read about a Safedisc "patch" for Morrowind that improves performance by reducing the CD drive "paging" (or whatever), and GTA3 is always using my CD drive. Anything I can do like this fix?

try fiddling around with the video settings, a friend of mine has a amd 1600, and geforce 3, but the game was sluggish at start, after changing some settings (forgot which one) the game runned smoothly on 800x600

[Eli]

I'm getting it tommorow.

One way to increase perfomance is by setting trails to off in detail settings...

[Zopperoni]

Yup, that's what I had to do. I've had to set near all graphic things to a near minimum, but it still looks pretty good. I like the Taxi Driver thing

[Lemmy]

i like the prostitute thing

Yeah, it's cool Would be cool if they made a MP mission (When they make MP) were you had to get as much money as possible, and the only way to get money was by driving the custumers...Of course this requires that there shouldn't be people everywhere who needs a cab, but only one-two person in the city who needs a cab I believe that would be great in MP games

Try downloading a no-cd crack from www.gamecopyworld.com
Dunno if it will improve performance though

[Lemmy]

just did 20 cab fares in a row, what are your records in the special missions?
