    If you mod it enough, sure. Out of the box it’s dismal.

  • Nah, I played it 2-3 years ago and it was totally fine. The only bug I recall was at the end with the helicopter sequence, and it was really frustrating. Basically, I had to set a framerate cap to 30 FPS to progress the game (60 might work too, but I needed a cap).

    There's one impactful decision soon after and then a cutscene that's based on that decision, but otherwise that's the end. So if you run into the bug and don't want to fix it, just watch the ending on YouTube or something.

    Rockstar patched out a bunch of radio music they had time-limited licenses for. I don't think you would notice that, though there are mods to bring them back. Performance-wise it only had problems with integrated graphic cards under Windows in my expirience. Haven't tried it on Linux.
