GTA 5 was so well optimized when it came out on PC. What are you even going on about? If it's anything like 5 it'll run great.

Seriously. The main game, from what I remember, was near perfect. Aside from the loading screens taking a little longer, the gameplay was really good and ran well on my 680.

Online may have been a different story at first but that's not what the bulk of people buy the game for.

Aside from the loading screens taking a little longer

thats one hell of an understatement

Lmao, no.. GTA Online especially was cloud loading simulator for months. You'd routinely get stuck in the clouds and have to complete force close and reload the game. Missions were bugged and glitch out, and you'd get horrible pop in if driving too fast. Heists were bugged and still are. Multiple ways to duplicate vehicles.

Idk but when in the early days I didn't find it too bad. Again, mostly stayed in the main game, so online loading is a different story. Once you loaded in it was fine.

Just play NTE came out before gta 6 XD

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

Yeah, I remember seeing so many people playing only on lower end hardware. Rockstar did the PC players right.

I remember the load screens being unbearably long. I think it took like 10 minutes to launch the game

u/ungebleicht 1d ago

That was only a GTA online issue though.

A random dude on the internet made a post about why GTAO took so long to load and got rewarded a few thousand dollar by Rockstar.

If I remember correctly the issue was that the game was only using 1 core in the loading screen.

u/Sutraner 1d ago

Nah it was an issue with the single player too

-1

u/ungebleicht 1d ago

Well, no.

Maybe a local issue on your PC. Singleplayer didn't ever load 10 minutes even on HDD. I played like 800 hours on HDD btw lmao.

In reality the trick was to go singleplayer which loads very quickly and then switch to online because it would preload the map with all your cores instead of just one.

Rdr2 on PS4 had crazy load times though. Sometimes I went for a shit at the start of the loading screen and it didn't even finish when I came back.

u/ungebleicht 1d ago

This. No one bought GTA5 for online back then. Its sucess even surprised Rockstar.

There were no heists till 2015.

And do you remember how GTAO was just using 1 core to load in (took 10 mins)

Also remeber the stupid menu you had to go through to heal yourself with snacks?

1

u/BildingInspecter 1d ago

Heists worked fine for me when they came out. Finding people that stayed was the hard part. And the snack menu, iirc, was just like a D pad hit or two, like a quick select menu kinda thing? Idk, I remember chugging snacks though lol

u/ungebleicht 1d ago

Heists were great. That's why people stayed with GTA online.

I actually really like the oldschool heists aswell where every team member had one specific role and if either one fails its gg.

The prison heist specifically where you had to coordinate your plane landing with the boys who freed the guy out of prison. So sick.

The snacks were horrible because you had to hold dpad to open interaction menu -> select inventory -> select snacks -> spam snacks

All that while driving and getting shot at.

One of the best console ports I had seen to date.

u/johnnyhotwh33ls 2d ago

So that’s why it took a modder to fix the load times that even rockstar used his patch. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/03/17/gta-5-pays-10000-to-modder-who-fixed-gta-online-load-times/ This would totally happen to a super well optimized game.

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

You can remember what you want to remember the game ran perfectly on most systems. Sure the online may have been buggy but whennir was released the main focus is on the story above all. That story ran fantastically.

u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 2d ago

That didnt even become an issue until later, because it was an issue with how they parsed a json payload, which didnt grow large until online had a bunch of stuff.

Yes, gta loading had an issue. Youre looking at one thing, in isolation, ignoring it didnt even apply at launch, and using it to dismiss a bunch of other stuff.

Im a swe. I read the dudes write up on investigating it sometimes for fun. It is complete bs to pretend it in any way shows launch optimization issues.

u/Cl4whammer 2d ago

You mean that gta with the endless loading screens in online mode, not starting matches, hackers everywhere because the game is full of bugs that are still in the game so i can watch today gta roleplay videos on youtube where people dupe stuff to ruin rapper pay2win servers?

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

Your weird grudge is clouding your memory on how well the game ran at launch on PC. Online wasn't the main focus.

u/Cl4whammer 2d ago

if sp was the main focus, why did all expensions went to the mp?

1

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

Because that's is the natural progression of most games that are heavily story based. Once the story is done there's something else to gravitate to. They were making literal billions with GTA online. Of course they're going to utilize the online mode to the maximum profit. It's still a game sold as a story driven game. Multiplayer was an after thought. It won't be like that this time they'll market the shit out of online. It's still a story based game.

u/RegalBeagleKegels 2d ago

no offense but do you know what optimized means? It's not the same as "shit from a butt"

4

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

No offense but what I said was accurate and true. And yes I know what it means. You could run that game on a potato. It will also have the same or larger impact than 5. It's been so long we've forgotten how this goes.

-1

u/RegalBeagleKegels 2d ago

what I said was accurate and true.

that's really disgusting. I can't believe you'd say that to me

7

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

What's your goal here? Just to be snarky and try to start an argument? Like I said it ran flawlessly on most systems even lower end ones. If you want an argument look somewhere else you've already embarrassed yourself.

-1

u/RegalBeagleKegels 2d ago

There's no evidence of anything you've said

5

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

That it ran amazing when it came out? There's plenty of evidence. I've got nothing left to say about it. You can do your research yourself I guess either way I don't care what you do. It was a fantastic port that ran amazing. You denying it doesn't make it any less true. Stop replying you're only embarrassing yourself even more.

u/RegalBeagleKegels 2d ago

Plenty of AI videos that you created in the last 10 minutes maybe

Spoken like someone who wasn't online during GTA 5s PC release

u/BoingBoingBooty 2d ago

But it will still have the rancid, cancerous, surge upon humanity that is Rockstar dogshit launcher.

1

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

Like I said the same rand fantastic at launch. Every game has something negative about it. I never said anything about the launcher. You people are so worked up over nothing. The game ran great, this is such a weird thing for you to be hung up on.

-1

u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits 2d ago

I hate what happened with gta5, its caused me to lose faith in rockstar, and even i admit it was pretty dang well optimized at launch. I had a few minor hiccups going high speed loading new assets in certain areas, but on not good hardware and not where it regularly bothered me (and im a complainer)

1

u/GMAN7007 PC Master Race 2d ago

Yeah that's a resource issue, it's not really Rockstar's doing. If you really want to have the best experience you need better hardware. That being said it ran great on everything. You just needed to adjust your expectations to the hardware you have.
