[QUOTE]Many users are clearly eager to get their hands on Grand Theft Auto V, even more so when it comes to the PC. So much so, that thousands of players are willing to download a huge 18GB file that promised to be the game, then install it, then wonder why their computers are pillaged by viruses.
Are these people idiots? No doubt about it! Downloading a torrent of a game that hasn’t even been announced for PC, let alone released is madness. Yet for all their foolishness, these fools were fooled by the best as the torrent in question not only looked like a legit file, but also acted like one. It was verified, has a high SEO ranking (comes out near the top on Google search) and the installer looked legit right up until the last moment when it asks you to fill out your private details on a website in return for a serial key.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Of course when you complete your 18GB download, hand over your private data and allow what I can only assume to be 18GB of spyware to run loose on your system, you still don’t get to play GTA V PC… why am I not surprised. I also suspect Rockstar might not be in such a rush to pull this one from download sites, it’s the ultimate honey pot and I’m amazed people fell for it.
Lesson of the day: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.[/QUOTE]

the desperation is growing
18GB of spyware.
could you imagine eighteen BBDs in your computer? because that's basically what it'd be.
What idiots would possibility think the PC version of GTA V would be 18GB?
Why the dumbs? GTA V is 17 gigs on the console, you expect the PC version to be 18 gigs?

Nobody even checked Steam? Or R*'s site?
How can you be this stupid?
It's not like GTA V is some obscure indie game.
It was actually legit so the jokes on you guys.I'm playing right now. Everyone here should try it!

GTA IV is a tiny game compared to GTA V. MP3 was 30 gigs.
[QUOTE=mark6789;42603172]GTA4 is 12. Its not that big of a stretch.[/QUOTE]
GTA 4 is 16GB. on console it is 14GB (iirc).
GTA 5 on PC would probably be something like 25 GB or maybe even 30 if the PC version had super high res textures
It's actually the full released game. Users who have been playing it are spreading these rumors around so nobody will be able to experience it. Duh.

they was a pretty unnecessary 30 gigs
It's alright, I have anti-virus software. WinPro Blocker 3000 [TRIAL EDITION] should protect me from all possible threats. A pop-up told me to download it, so I did.
Now I kind of want to see it run in a VM.
.......I don't even have anything witty/asshole'ish/etc to comment on this. It's just baffling that so many people just blindly downloaded it.
Man, imagine the possibilities. Create a fake GTAV archive and then password protect it. The only way to get the password is through some survey bullshit site. Argh, I missed my chance!
At least it wasn't lostboy.exe or 18gb of dolphin porn.
[QUOTE=I AM THE LAW;42603494]they was a pretty unnecessary 30 gigs[/QUOTE]
Yes, because super high quality uncompressed textures, sound/music/voice recordings are unnecessary. Guess what? games are getting bigger and bigger because the technology and distribution methods easily allow it.
I'd really like to know exactly what they were downloading 18 gigabytes of. Kiddie porn? Pixar movies? 18 gigs of just 1's?

Not sure why this would be considered dumb. GTA V is a massive, highly detailed game. Rockstar is clearly intended to go all out with the design of the game. Super High Res textures and high quality sound formats are HUGE. GTA V is 17 gigs on the console, do you seriously expect the PC version to 1 gig more than the current gen version?

<I'm a fucking idiot>
[QUOTE=Terminutter;42604024]You missed the point massively.
It would be [b]over[/b] 18 GB. Max Payne 3 was 35 GB or so on PC, so we can likely expect similar for GTA5.[/QUOTE]
I didn't miss any point, that's the exact point I was making.

Oh god, my bad. I fucked up assumptions at part. Sorry mate.

Highly likely just 18gb of nothing.
loooooooooooooooooooooool, what morons.

They want to keep people off of the glorious online to lessen the burden on the servers.
