Rockstar are terrible at optimising their games on PC

It wasn't Rockstar - all the games beforehand where fine. GTA 4 had new security protection and Microsoft social crap infected in it. It was also released early before fully tested. It actually ran a lot better and had less issues for the people who ripped and cracked it (I legally owned the game but ripped it myself). It also works like Microsoft Vista, it's a memory hogs - feed it more graphic card memory (or tweak) and it works much better. They attempted to put a lot of memory locks on it.

Honestly I only game on the PC because games can be obtained cheap (Steam sales and Humble Bundles), free (Steamgifts) and with non-money currency (Team Fortress 2 keys obtained via trading with no money investment). If I had the same options and more than a 4gb harddrive on my XBox 360, I'd much prefer to play on that. I like the controller, I like control schemes built for controllers (generally involves repeated but contextual use of the same button for multiple actions, for example I think it was Borderlands 2, where on the console X is reload AND activate but the PC version doesn't allow those two actions to be assigned to different keys), I give 0 shits about whether I can see characters' pores or not and I think modding is retarded.

Hey now, to be fair I said "I think modding is retarded" and I do. You're free to think whatever you want, but the way I see it is this.
By changing the game, you are no longer playing it the way it was meant to be played. It's like looking at the hard work of someone who is actually a professional game developer and saying "lol no I can do better". Mods also give people different game experiences from one another, reducing the ability for players to compare themselves to one another.
I just think that if you can't enjoy a game without mods, you should be finding a game you DO enjoy, not cutting it up and trying to find entertainment in the pieces.

Mods are made BY casual gamers, FOR casual gamers. I... I won't even take the time to give you a full reply. :P

i don't really care because Sleeping dogs and Saints row 3 turned out better than GTA4 so i'm expecting the same thing from GTA5 even though GTA4 wasn't a bad game at all and i'm sure GTA5 is also pretty cool, i just prefer something different :).

LOVED Sleeping Dogs, didn't care for Saints Row 3 and I liked GTA IV a lot. But GTA V kicks all of their asses.

Games developed for dumbkid-proof consoles, and then ported to PC will always turn out garbage. It's a good, fun game, but really simple, and just a typical console game. It really won't be such a good game on PC as most people already pictured it.
