Grand Theft Auto 4 PC - $7.50 on Steam - Sale is over

I don't know why people hate secrurom so much. I've had a few games that used it now and they havn't affected my games or anything else at all. I don't even know they are there really.

I did pick up GTA 4 today, now I'm hoping I can get the 2 DLC for about $5 today as well.

However I got work from 4-10 so I'm probably going to miss it....
 
The hate for some DRM I can understand, but Securom is pretty uninvasive. I've never had problems with Securom.

I think alot of the preconceived hate for Securom is from that rootkit debacle a few years back.
 
Not bad, but I think I might just go in on Rockstar pack. Been wanting to play Episodes for quite some time, not a terrible deal for that and a dozen other games.
 
[quote name='mtxbass1']How improved is this over GTAIV on 360? I'm about 30% of the way through that one, but I'm tempted to buy this one.[/QUOTE]

Just play it through on the 360. The end of the game will annoy you regardless.
 
Anyone know if it will run ok on a single core CPU (P4 3ghz)?

Really need to cut back on buying guns and games so I can finally upgrade from a single core AGP carded PC to a multicore.
:lol:

No. This game requires a good CPU over even the GPU. It has troubles on most dual core systems. Yours wouldn't handle it on low.

Thanks for the post OP. Caught this just before heading out to one of my final exams. Purchased it and started the download. Just the game to really test my i5 :D
 
Thanks guys.

One of these days when all the crazy sales end, I'll sit down and glue together a new PC.
 
If you have an ATX case you could glue together an el cheapo.

New power supply, cheap AM3 motherboard, phenom II, DDR3 ram and something like an HD5770.

Or when the next gen ATI cards come around an HD5850 or something should be a good price.
 
Made a list of parts some time ago for a new PC, came out to around $550-$650 with tax and shipping. This was around early January, so it might even be cheaper now until I update it with better parts.

Now I just gotta find that piece of paper.

I'm thinking this will be the best way to get Episodes. I don't see them marking that off all that much.
 
[quote name='docvinh']Any guess on how much the episodes will end up being on sale?[/QUOTE]

I doubt they will be on sale, to be honest.

It would be a huge slap in the face to the people who bought them last week (or two weeks ago?) when they first came out at full price. It would also send the message that "Hey, don't buy anything when it releases, look at GTA Episodes" and no publisher or Valve wants that.

I question whether or not they'll offer a deal at all, since Episodes was just released. Nevertheless, they seem to be offering two deals a day (For me, it seems there's one deal starting at 2 PM EST and another at 11 PM EST.)

If they did offer a deal, I wouldn't expect more than $5-10 off. Plus, I'd expect them to offer it during the second deal of the day, when it'll only last 90 minutes instead of three hours.

Though I haven't missed a deal I wanted [yet], I do hope Steam doesn't think timing a deal for less than 24 hours is a good thing.
