My Review: GTA4 for PC sucks. Also has bad reviews on Amazon.
UPDATE: Vote in our poll “Which is worse COD5 or GTA4?”
———————————
GTA4 for PC sucks. I just bought it from direct2drive and after downloading and installing I quickly uninstalled and asked for my money back. I’m hearing that I’m not the only one who requested a refund from Direct2Drive and apparently they are being less than helpful about refunds. I’ll give them a couple days and do a charge back.
The reviews on Amazon for GTA4 are horrible:

People are giving GTA4 bad reviews because it comes infected with SecuROM. That’s not even my biggest beef with them. My beef is the bullshit they make you go through to be able to play. First you have to install some BS called “social club” and then you have to create a Windows Live ID and link that account with this social club account. If that wasn’t bad enough, everytime I tried to link the account it told me that there was some internal error and to try again or create a new Live account. I simply don’t have time for this shit, I spend 4 or 5 hours downloading, and :45+ min installing and trying to get the game to work.
The best part came while I was uninstalling this pile of crap and got a popup from SecuROM. I suppose if you had read the 10 pages of legal junk the SecuROM notice would have been in there. Just the entire thing is ridiculous. I hope Direct2Drive refuses to refund my money so I can do a charge back on them.
Apparently the graphics are sort of crap too and there isn’t even any anti-aliasing, what kind of BS is that?
I definitely DO NOT recommend this game.
