Maybe I just don't like exploring. Feels like a big waste of time for me. Maybe that's why I don't like open world games... Feels like there's no point in doing anything... No reward in cause and effect.. And I hate driving. It gets tedious.. I rather just go to the next level and play. I.E. in GTA 5, i just call the cab. Driving is too tedious.
can you change the FOV?

Even after (if) they patch it your system is way below the minimum requirements.

Crazy. Only 5 years ago I built my PC and I already can't play current games.

Dude, a new video card comes out every MONTH!
Why do you think consoles are so popular with parents?
$1300 for gaming rig at Christmas or a $400 PS4 or Xbox1...?
And I'm a PC GAMER!

Well your system was not top of the line then either. But really to stay on top of PC gaming, you should want a card every 3 or so years. Although my 3.5 year old HD7950 still runs every game out there respectably.

Well... 5 years ago you built a low/mid-range machine and now it's even lower. I built a PC 5 years ago too and it has an i5-2500k and GTX570, and even that was only mid-range at the time. You went with a dual-core processor when 4-cores were already typical, it happens. It's the classic conflict between spending more up front and hopefully remain relevant longer, or spend less more often to remain up to date. I can't say either one has a great advantage.

I built my i5-3570K back in June 2012 with a GTX 670 and 16GB of RAM. It's been doing perfectly fine for me, BF4, Crysis 3, Farcry 4 etc
I upgraded the 670 to a 970 last month. Now it plays everything wonderfully. I really wouldn't use this game as a benchmark guys, Rocksteady will fix this.
Also don't tell the console kiddies too much about PC gaming, let them think it's hard and expensive etc, trust me I have a PS4 and I had a XB360. Man those kids are terrible to play with (Even worse than MOBA clowns). Keep em all on consoles.

Yeah based on my income at the time, all I could do was a lower end rig, and it happened to run some of the good titles since then at a decent rate.
I've managed to only get into games that didn't require much power, but I kind of want to get this game after seeing my cousin play on Xbox. Buddy of mine also raves about GTA V, so I figure it's worth a try, too.

There's just as many annoying whiny PC gamers as there are annoying console gamers. There's also perfectly normal users on both ends, so lumping either group into a certain category is pretty silly.

Yep. I have a pretty good group of friends on psn and Xbox live but admittedly almost nobody on PC lol

Chances are you already have a PC, so it's more just the cost for the video card (maybe a power supply too). If I wasn't a gamer I'd still have a nice PC, just not the gamer video card.

Most people have a laptop from the local big box store. They can't play these games.

Five years in the PC gaming world is a LONG time.
Five years ago I had a GTX-295 and i7 950 with the Dell P2405W (1200P) monitor. 😀
Also, weren't you the guy w/ 3x 30" monitors on the wall mounts? Or was that someone else? ...

I know in the PC gaming world it's a long time... I guess it was more of a revelation of how fast the electronics/gaming world progresses.
No that was not me, sorry.

In the last five years I have gone through GTX 470>GTX 670> 670 SLI>GTX 970.

It's actually slowed down quite a bit too. As stated my CPU/Mobo/RAM are perfectly fine for what I play and I had to do 1 GPU upgrade.
Back in the days of 386-486-pentium-P2 you were pretty much obsolete in 1 year. The leap between Pentium 90/120/133 and the Pentium2/Celeron/CeleronA was massive and the leap from Voodoo 1 to Voodoo 2 then Riva to TnT/TnT2/Geforce was three fold and they came quickly.

It's not that crazy anymore. I basically have the same computer from 5 years ago. Only changed my 5780 to a R9 290.
Think about how much more you would have had to spend on a machine to build one that would still be high end today.
Now imagine what you can build today with that difference.

yeah I went from a 8800GTX, to a GTX480, to a GTX780. Probably gonna skip the 980 series, as it does everything fine so far.
Q6600 -> i7-930 -> i7-4770K
8GB -> 12GB -> 16GB
Veloraptor -> 160GB G2 Intel SSD ->1TB 840 EVO
X-Fi -> SBZ
Klipsch 5.1 Ultra -> Edifier S550 -> Edifier S760D hooked up to my PS4 😛
