I'm playing it on 1680X1050,max. resolution my monitor supports,Texture detail is set to medium,why can't I set it higher? Render detail is set to highest,shadows to 16 and rest are 20,45,45. Max FPS 40,min FPS 15 and what I'm getting normally is 25-35. The game is poorly optimized. I'm eagerly waiting for the 1.1 patch.
Gameplay is awesome. I never liked any of the GTA games but I'm damn addicted to it. Played it out 4 hours straight:D
Graphics are good but poor porting is a shame. Hope they fix it up through updates.
Story is very immersive so far. Reached till where Niko gets a call from unknown person to meet at some bar.

Overall- Value for money. Rs.500 is too little for this game and those who are downloading/buying pirated DVDs are pirates to the core! Buying origianl games feels good. I'm getting this feeling coz I've bought a 'good' original game after quite a while. Bought Alone in the dark 2-3 days back. It's dipsh1t.

@Ayush,They didn't have GTA San Andreas for PS2 at the shop but they said that they'll get it if you want to buy.

@Ethan_hunt,I played this game on Xbox 360 but I just don't like gaming on consoles. I buy only console exclusive games like DBZ series,MGS4,GT5 etc. No use wasting 2.5 K on a game which you can get for 'free':D

Screenies coming:D

Played GTA 4 just now.The problem is that iam not able to change the display settings.Not even the resolution.It is at 800X600 and the game is displayed in small window towards one side(top left side) of the monitor.Any solutions?

BTW even at the LOWESt settings the game doesnt look bad.

yeah i know.. :D .. lol !!! then who is RiKo :p
No one. Not in this game at least. The last Rico I know is Rico Rodriguez from Just Cause. :D

I have just arrived on 'The Snow Storm' mission provided by Elizebeta. Got my butt whooped by over a gazillion cops flooding the building. Might have to take another shot at it. I have increased my rating for the game to a 9/10 from an earlier 8/10. Now if the patch can work some miracles then it's possible 10/10. :)

EDIT: GTA IV V 1.0.1.0 PATCH now available. Start downloading it from your GFW updater. Good luck. :)

Take this file & add it in the GTA IV installed directory & run the game. It will then allow you to change the texture detail to High.

I just bailed on it at the end moment. Just head over to GTA forums. First it was all the flak this game received after it's release & now it's getting crucified for the first patch. People have ran into issues which they didn't have earlier. Like Camera sticking towards the ceiling, Niko running around in circles, no sound, stuttering & stuff like that. A few folks also reported frame drop issues while others said it increased for them. Very confusing & very disappointing. I'll just sit back & wait till the dust settles. I'm not having any major issues as such so won't bother screwing up my exiting install. :D

Ok got it installed it installed the patch too but couldn't play it. It quits at the startup and when it doesn't quit, it keeps on looping in that loading sequence where it shows characters from the game against the city backdrop. It keeps looping even after the music dies. If this is because of my gfx card, to hell with Cockstar, ffs, I have run every game till now even at very low settings, even Crysis, and played them all at nice frames.

I'm selling it to a friend of mine. I will never bye another game from Cockstar ever again.

Going back to my trusted CoD5 multiplayer and the brilliant Fallout 3.
