I say yes cause of all the mods you can get for it.

Edit: For SLI you need to change the default one from Nvidia because its absolute crap.

I bought it when it was $20 and I had plenty of fun playing online with friends and modding it and I think it was worth every dollar :D If you like the GTA Series I would really recommend it :)

 

 

PS: With dual 980's (Or even a single 980 if you need to disable SLI) you will easily be able to max it out with mods at over 60FPS.

My Current Build: 

Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.11V, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, Asus GTX 760 DCII Overclocked, Corsair CX600M

It didn't look great but it didn't lag on a HD7750.

 

It's a fun game just for the sandbox mods.

Not great performance.

 

 

Steam version sucks ass.

this is unrelated to the topic, but should i buy dark souls 2 now, or wait. do you think it will get cheaper?

Its a fun game, but I recommend getting the Episodes from Liberty City instead. The story mode of the regular GTA IV was kind of boring IMO and the Episodes offer a lot more content(despite them being "additions"). They are both poor console ports, but with the hardware now they should run fine. If you are into modding then I would say definitely go for it, because this game is real fun to screw with. :)

 

Edit: Also I am 99.9% sure that the online mode is broken due to Games For Windows Live shutting down(there might be a 3rd party mod though, but even still not many people play it).

Really? I remember the week before GFWL shut everybody was playing it, and then the week after there was "no players available". Do you know if Social Club is hosting it now?
