Went through a bit of hell to get it. There were a few codes on the Steam Forum, that you can get it for 30% off instead of 20%, but they turned into codes that only the one that got it, could use it.
Plus, the 20% off code actually changed on me. It reminds me of that one part in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, of having this thing giving random codes every 30 seconds to get a chest open.
But now I finally have GTA V for PC, thanks to Green Man Gaming! I had considered waiting ’till my birthday to buy it (and Far Cry 4) from Steam. But seeing this one time deal on GMG that only lasted until the 20th instead of August 20th (my birthday), I went on and got it.
(Plus, I’m bored with Minecraft. I want something new to play!)
I can see why not a lot of people like the Rockstar Social Club. First of all, the system is so bad, it makes uPlay look good. Second… you’re required to stay logged in to play the game. This is the same BS that EA did for SimCity 5.
This doesn’t affect me, having a constant connection. But not everyone has an ISP that doesn’t punish you for abusing your bandwidth.
Anyway, waiting for the game to download to my computer. This is much better than the hell I went through to get it on my PS4, where it took HOURS to download. And I mean, 10+. This is taking… 3-4 hours (give or take a few hours, depending on how stable my connection is). A lot faster than it took there. Of course, everything’s better on PC. We got mods. We got better visuals. So yeah, I’m part of the ‘PC Master Race’.
Plus, unlike what happened on my PS4, it actually shows how long the download will take! It doesn’t show “ohh, it’s 40% complete now!”. This thing tells me what my current download speed is, how much has been downloaded to my computer, what’s remaining, and how long it’ll take (as I just said). It’s much better.
.
EDIT: Still waiting for the download to complete. It started around 5:14pm, and it’s currently 8:44pm as I type this. Been just over 3 hours. I’ll have an update later on.
EDIT2: 9:54pm now. It has 15 minutes remaining. I say the download will be done in possibly half the time it took for my PS4 (5 hours compared to 9), and without hearing the console overheating.
EDIT3: 10:15pm, “Grand Theft Auto 5 is now ready to play” showed on the launcher. So let’s see.. started from 5:14pm, ended at 10:15pm. That’s roughly 5 hours. Just half the time it took to download on my PS4.
Time to finally see if it’ll work on my computer!
