If so, what are your computer specs? and how well or bad it runs?

    I played it twice on linux. It’s actually one of those games that run better than they do on windows thanks to the large amount of fixes and workarounds specific to this game that are in DXVK. You don’t even need to cap the framerate or limit the affinity to one core during the ending to prevent the helicopter bug. Personally, I would recommend playing a repack that already has all the community fixes for the game, but if you don’t know how to do it, just play it on steam and you’ll be fine.

      Is it worth it playing though? Asking as someone who played all the originals upto San Andreas, when I first checked out IV, it just felt like more of the same and I lost interest.

        Main game has a nice, more down to earth storyline compared to any of the other installments. Same with TLaD if I remember correctly. TBoGT was a lot of fun, but more in line with the other GTA games in that it gets a bit too out of hand, particularly with the Yusuf missions.

        Game mechanics are nothing special. Think GTA V with a lot less polish.

        Well, it looks like shit even for 2008, the gameplay hasn’t aged well, it’s incredibly annoying when you fail a mission, it’s full of bugs, but it has the best story in the series in my opinion, the characters feel very genuine, I don’t want to spoil it but it will make you think, plus the brutal critique of american society shines through as much as the other games if not more.
