If the only reason to get GTA4 for PC is the graphics, that seems like a bit of a waste of money. Apparently a lot of people aren't up to the recommended specs, and you'd get the same experience out of playing it on console. Either way, if you bought it on console or PC the day it came out, you'd still be out the same $60 for generically the same experience. They are just making visual upgrades to the game, not adding new features or new missions. I've bought nearly all of the GTA games on PC and haven't yet noticed any Rockstar-developed patches or mods to the games that make them any different than on console. If you just want Liberty City to look prettier, then by all means shell out the money for the PC version. Otherwise, play it on console and at least enjoy the game itself instead of wanting to see it with better detail. Were the graphics really that bad on console? I thought they looked perfectly great, but I guess I don't have the eye for detail some people do. It sounds like they are trying to improve on something that doesn't really need to be messed with, and are making a stable thing worse off than it needs to be. If it ain't broke, don't think you need to fix it.

I've been a fan of GTA since it started, but I came around to SR when it premired on the 360. I really enjoyed the openness to the violence, as well as the customization in the game, not only to the vehicle but also to the character. Buying new clothing or jewelery in SR actually MEANT something, unlike in GTA where it is either just a style change or mission-related. I've even read that the crib will be able to finally be customized, which is something you never saw in GTA. SR2 sounds like it will be at least as fun as the first, if not adding something with the new vehicle options. I don't play these games for the realistic quality, but for the fun of it! What ever happened to playing games for that factor?
