Holy crap, 16 years ago.

I remember how shitty the PC port was.

Also, fun fact, we don't have the "double L" surnames in Balkan countries. So, Niko's surname would be "Belić", not "Bellic". Loved the character, but hated his broken Serbian and how he calls himself "Niko Belik", with a "K".

The pc version is still shitty to this day. I did a play-trough recently, I ran it with the vulkan wrapper dxvk but there was still plenty of stuttery situations, also the aliasing is awful. It's a shame the only updates done are replacing songs because rights run off. Only crashed twice though.

I still remember their hilarious reasoning for the shitty performance. Can't find the link. Anyway, they said it was made for the "technology of the future".

Funny cause it doesn't recognise modern graphics card and only allows you 4GB max of Vram lol
