I guess i'm just lucky as I have never had any of those problems with a Rockstar game. I'm sorry you did. Also Rockstar is the publisher not the developer so maybe you will have better luck with L.A. Noire.
Same here. Been a fan of GTA2/GTA3/Vice City/SA/GTA4, bought each one at Launch. Bought PSOne GTA2 and Dreamcast versions when they first came out...
Bully, didn't buy at launch but never had problems with it.
GTA4 I can't wait till a 5th comes out...
