GTA IV: To buy, or not to buy?

[Proog]

So yeah it's $19.99 on Steam, and I've been considering buying it, and what the hell, my birthday's in 3 days so I'll have some more spare cash on my hand.

DEBATE GOGOGO.

its some awesome stuff if it can run on your computer

[Chrono]

Don't buy it. It's boring as forget, online and offline.

I checked the System Requirements lab for a quick result, and it said minimal...
Because apparently a single core 3.0ghz is slower than a dual core 2.4ghz.

Though yeah I definitely can run it, I passed everything else for it.

[Chrono]

Yeah single cores aren't so great.

[Proog]

Yeah single cores aren't so great.

Yet I average 50 FPS with super quality TF2?

[Chrono]

Of course, if you're smart and don't run 20 programs at once, then single core is okay.

[Kevdude]

Of course, if you're smart and don't run 20 programs at once, then single core is okay.

What if he wants to play Blockland, make a map in Hammer, browse the forums, type a word document, listen to music, and play GTA IV at the same time?

I only had the forums and TF2 running.
Then again I can easily boost my FPS if I wasn't using the Meet The Team models.
But them mat_specular 0 wouldn't work and it would be about the same.

MP3 players are for music.
Pencils and paper are for writing.
Architects are for mapping.

And who plays 2 games at once?
Wait, Sleep is Death and TF2 Idling probably counts.

[Proog]

I'm buying it on Steam.
So does that mean it would come free?

EDIT: Nope, episodes is $30.00, forget that.
