i bet none of the people supporting this have even played gta5, probably watched an r rated crime movie before though

MajorAly4232d ago (Edited 4232d ago )

More over, pirated copies were being sold by these people. Even if GTAV was banned there, these people should've been arrested for piracy alone.

ala_7674232d ago (Edited 4232d ago )

True but still people will find a way to play this game in Saudi Arabia! Though the one they arrested they were selling pirated copies!

THamm4232d ago

They look like bootleg copies anyhow

chikane4232d ago

why would gamers in the Middle East need gta5 for .. i mean theirs enough death and violence right in there own back yard

Grap4232d ago

it Show how much ignorant you are. Statics saudi Arabia has less crimes and killing than USA.learn the facts not fox bullsh!t

Muadiib4232d ago

It's amazing what you can accomplish in a totalitarian society huh.

oIITSBIIo4232d ago

Seriously where do you get all this stupid ideas about us from ? Your media is really full of shit .

RioKing4232d ago

And yours isn't? Please, give me a break. Middle eastern "media" is 90% propaganda, whereas Americas is 85% :)

Salooh4232d ago (Edited 4232d ago )

We have the same life as you but there are some circumstances where you see death / unjust and it's a little complicated to explain . In a short way , Terrorists are the Wahabia . Bahrain / saudia rulers are one of them but they act depend on their limit. If you talk with them you will see them like hitler but they still don't have power because they are afraid of their interests so they show their muscles on the people of their countries but try to shine/hide their acts from you.

However , the wahabia in iraq / syria / Afghanistan are the true complete face of their thinking. suni + shia = real muslims , they are not involved in these acts because their believes forbid the acts the wahabia do .

Other then that , we are like you but with different believes . As Grap said , saudia people respect what you call human rights more then any people. Crime are very low compared to your countries because of our believes , people do it them selfs , government doesn't have to do with it at all because they are the ones that steal and kill ..

Salooh4232d ago

Note : There are different views so i don't expect agrees. Just take my opinion of how i lived and looked at the situation here in middle east :) .

That's a bit too much for him to understand, don't you think?
I mean he could hardly read half of it, but then what do you expect, he probably has a reading age and a reading span of a 7 year old.

shahab914232d ago (Edited 4232d ago )

Stfu that crap. Nonsense. Shias are real Muslims?. Oh give me a break. Shias and barelvis are born out of innovation. First go study then come here. Quit spouting that nonsense of yours here where people won't understand you.

You must be a Shia babbling this gibberish here in a gaming site. I remember you calling Wahhabis as kafirs. Just who the heck do you think you are?. Come out of your delusional retarted mindset.

Terrorist are the Wahhabis? Yeah I suppose this Assad of yours will also be a wahabi then? This piece of shit shia is big terrorist just like his father. Grow a pair and speak against him.

Salooh4232d ago (Edited 4232d ago )

@shahab91 don't start that again ^^ . Aren't you tired of these same stupid arguments ?. ALLAH created us all equally , shia say SHAHADTAIN / PRAY like you / go to HAG with you / do Ramadan..etc So who are you to say they are not muslims ?. No one in earth can decide that , only GOD judge in faith. As for act , shia don't harm sunna , So why don't we get over this ?. That's the reason we are behind and weak , because we fight about stupid small things .

Wahabia bomb them selfs , that's just one simple reason to why they are not muslims , i can give you tens of solid reasons , but most people agree that wahabia are terrorists. So if you want the truth about them you will find it easily . Just apply quran on them and you will see what i mean..

As for Asad , i don't care if he's gone or stayed . As long the killing stop , so both sides are to be blamed. The opposition at first was right but after the killing started it lost it's purpose . No future with the opposition to the people . I for one have a feeling that asad will be killed(Not that the opposition is strong , they will get help) but that won't make things better , opposition will fight each other and that will show you how the opposition only care about their interests not the people.

shahab914231d ago

Wow. Amazing huh. Giving me a lecture to stop judging people while you yourself called Wahhabis as kafirs. Who gave you the right to call them kafirs. I don't even understand why you and people like you call them wahabi. They just prefer the viewpoint of Abdul Wahab. Point me where is he wrong. All of his works were against idolatory in Islam. I respect him for that. But you people ridicule the name of Allah "WAHHAB". If you have any problem with them can't you properly state where they are wrong instead of ridiculing name of Allah. I can give a ton of their beliefs that are totally in accordance of Quran and Sunnah. They are Muslims just like you. Yes there are bad people amongst them. But so is the case with every community and religion. Where does so called WAHHABIs say kill kill kill. I admit there are some extremist but not all of them. Yes, you are absolutely right Allah will judge amongst us. I have met many salafi scholars in my life which unlike your belief are not extremist and they are very nice people. I have met some Shias, in fact I have Shia friends but they don't ridicule salafis. If Wahhabis have done something wrong Allah will judge them. But don't go calling them kafir or terrorist ( whole community) yet.
What breaks my heart is that instead of stopping that foolish chikane from posting nonsense, you are showing these western people on this site how Muslims are divided and how we hate each other. I think this article shouldn't have been posted at all. These kind of articles become a laughing stock for some of these western people to mock our Muslim countries. You can look down in the thread and you can find a person with a username having such derogatory remark against Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Report him like I did.
In the end I would like to apologize for my attitude I sounded a bit harsh. I am sorry my brother if I offended you. And I am sorry that I spoke bad about Shia, actually that was in rage, I totally lost My mind when I saw your post. Lastly, I just have one request. Don't call any Muslim a kafir. I am not calling Shias as kafir. And you shouldn't call Salafis as kafirs. Lets show these western people that we are brothers.

Salooh4231d ago (Edited 4231d ago )

I agree on many points you said, But i'm not afraid of saying the truth , if we are weak then we have to face it not hide it. These people also need to know the truth. Yes , i believe that in some bad family's there are good people. That's applied to Wahabia ( that's the only way to call them , they call them selfs sunna but they have other believes then them so i can't call them sunna ) . But most of the wahabia i saw are extremists. They hate anyone who disagree with them , they bomb them selfs which is against sunna / shia believes which came from quran . You see what they are doing in iraq / Afghanistan / syria ?. These acts are against islam that's why i call these people kafir and i think you agree with me on that. These are the roots of wahabia , they even destroy graves like if they are doing a heroic thing.

I know that there are good people among them but they support these acts , they are silent about it , so they are part of it unless they started to defend their believes.

There are racists in sunni and shia but they never go to that level . Respect for you ^^ , the more we open our mind the more we learn about the truth . So these arguments are not bad if it's like this :) . I never harmed a wahaby . I try to apply quran to all people , sunni / kafir / shia / wahabi ..etc , that way , we all live the right way. As long we don't harm each other we are good , fighting with mind , believes are good . Argument =/= fitna .

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos9d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto9d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba9d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz8d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

My problem with the game is they want to install a Kernel level driver before I can even boot the game in sngle player mode I don't care about GTA online

I flat out refuse to allow any game kernal level it's a huge risk I don't need to take

It's not the only game that has done this. Ut it's absolutely shutting the dorr completely on PC gaming for me kernal level drivers are ineffective at preventing cheaters but publishers insist on continued use

My big issue is how long it takes to transition between open world and interiors in Online.

It looks great, got everything running on ultra, have long shadows set to max and it's running silky smooth.

The ray tracing and lighting makes the game look amazing.

CrimsonIdol56d ago

The reflections are a noisy mess, particularly with DLSS. Shame they didn't have ray reconstruction, seems to work wonders for cyberpunk

MrDead56d ago

The reflections are like a mirror, I have no noise at all. Are you sure you have it set correctly?

CrimsonIdol56d ago

I've everything maxed out. the reflections DO have a lot of noise in them in motion. When you stop for a second to look at them they look okay but when you're driving around there's a definite blur and sparkle to them that you often get from RT. Again, exactly the same as you get in Cyberpunk without ray reconstruction but is much reduced with.

MrDead56d ago

I really don't have that, what you see here is what I have in motion even online vids have it completely clear. I'm running of a 5090 with everything set to the highest.

https://m.youtube.com/watch...

CrimsonIdol55d ago

Ah I see. Well if you have a 5090 then I'm guessing are you're probably getting quite a high frame rate (I'm guessing hitting that 120 fps max), which will make a difference too, since the RT samples in the reflections accumulate temporally. I'm on a 3080 so I'm keeping my frame rate around 60-75 at 4K, and the low sample/high noise of the RT is definitely apparent… particularly on moving cars at night time I've noticed the most (makes sense given highest contrast between light and dark) DLSS amplifies the noise too, it's the big thing that sticks out as low fidelity when the rest resolves nicely

CrimsonIdol55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Just had a chance to watch this on my 4K monitor now. Do you not see the blurriness of the reflections in relation to everything else in motion? Like it's definitely better and less noisy than it is for me at 60fps with quality DLSS but it's still pretty bad compared to how crisp the screen space/cubemap ones were when driving about. fine when you stop for a second but driving around you're rarely stopped so it's near constant muddy reflections.
