The Metro UI, most especially the start screen, was quite awkward to use on a keyboard-and-mouse interface. I can get away with that by using a Start Menu addon, but at least some apps won't work on Windows 8 - on the beta, that is.
The multiple playable characters concept sounds like a 'swell idea to me. And I like the fact that they went for the parallel storylines direction, just as what American Girl did with Cécile and Marie-Grace.
The only demo they released so far was for the first GTA games. From the scope and design of the later titles it would be highly unlikely for R* to do a free demo, let alone a beta which some imbeciles claim to offer.
And calm down with the CAPS LOCK, it makes it seem like you're being desperate or something.
It's either that you have a defective or damaged installer, or you got the game off a torrent site. If the latter's your case, then I'm sorry but we won't provide you with any support as we do not in any way condone piracy here.
In other words, it's possible, but not worth the crap considering that it's more than worth it to mod the PC version, and due to legal issues concerning modchips and hacked consoles.
On a newer series Nvidia, anything with the second digit that's higher than 4 is a mid-range to high-end card, i.e. GT440 or something like that. And yeah, the GTX designation gives way.
Agreed, as they prefer to spend time perfecting their work rather than annualizing their games just like what Activi$ion does on their Call of Duty IPs.
