Had they given a million bucks to hardcore fans to do the job it would have come out so much better. You can see people who worked on this have no love for the games, it was just one more job.

If you pay 60 bucks for a game at launch, without even reading reviews or impressions, then you deserve what you get. Stop buying buggy launch games sight unseen.

Fans were doing a better job for free, all they had to do was wait. Probably the saddest part of all of this is that re3, the excellent reverse engineering project, died for this. Of course if they had left well enough alone then poor Take Two wouldn't be able to pay its starving developers.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

This thing needs more than a month. Sad to see Rockstar give so little care to the old titles.

 

[tusharngf]

Seriously WTF Rockstar???

 

[sertopico]

That's embarassing.

 

[MikeM]

And you can no longer play it even though you've paid for it.

I mean, you couldn't anyway for the past ~30 hours because their launcher was down, but now those games were removed from libraries.

“Digital is the future!”

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Lol why does the “definitive” version look like some derpy Xenoblade npc

 

[Silver Wattle]

Even if there were zero bugs The whole collection is utter trash.
This is a multi billion dollar franchise, of which the have not released in new game in 10 years, this should have been a complete remake.

It keeps getting better haha

GTA Trilogy chaos continues as ‘Hot coffee sex mini-game files’ reportedly uncovered | VGC

Rockstar confirmed it’s pulled Definitive Edition on PC to remove “unintentionally included” files…

You'll probably be able to crack it before even having the chance to buy it lulz

 

[Wunray]

Thank you for saving me time, Rockstar. I will keep playing smt v and listening to this banger.

This sounds like a persona track, but without the soul.

 

[Fake]

It's already cracked.

Examples of notes from Rockstar North staff from that era:

Pure gold. Was worth it just for these notes.

 

[KormaChameleon]

I've raised a refund request. While I have no problem with the game itself. However, when Rockstar/TakeTwo have physically removed the game from my library that I LEGALLY paid for. They can fuck off. Remove the game from me, I remove money from them.

Edit: Got my refund. Do it through Xsolla (Rockstar's payment provider for RGL)

Refund my digital purchase

[nkarafo]

Holy shit, they turned GTA into The Sims?

 

[Celcius]

Oof, not touching this game with a ten foot pole even though I never had a chance to play San Andreas

 

[Flutta]

Blame yourself for giving pubs your money then afterwards complain about the lack of effort put on said product.

Red flags was all over this so called
”remaster” yet people went out and bought it. Throw your money and hope for the best is a ”culture” gamers have created themselves. Don’t act surprised when pubs/studios keep selling you garbage over and over.

 

[Starhowl]

Sad that they didn't re-license the music; hopefully there will be a modification later to re-activate it.

The saddest part is that plenty of us saw it coming and pointed out the glaring elephant in the room weeks ago, but few people wanted to listen. It's the Cyberpunk situation all over again, I saw that coming a good year before release, after they refused to show off more gameplay, and what they did show had been heavily edited, did anyone want to listen? No. Look how that turned out. There's a lesson somewhere in these experiences...people really need to start learning from them.

Hey, that's disrespectful towards Xenoblade NPCs.

 

[Fare thee well]

And people wonder why I'm so wary of remakes, remasters, and reboots. Sometimes just let a good thing rest and let new ideas reign.

 

[HermitSperg691]

Going by the general reaction this remake trilogy is getting it really is going to be Immortals Feynx Rising during the sales this month or the next month.

 

[Star-Lord]

I spent half-hour playing San Andreas today, and that was twenty-nine minutes too long. I uninstalled that shit. What a waste of money.

A man who won't listen can't hear. People don't want to hear bad things about someone or things they love thus they think they don't exist. Corpo worship is a real sickness that is widespread among gamers. Every time a company releases a broken game you would think that most people who got tricked, fooled, played like a fiddle would be more cautious next time but NOPE here we go again.

And people want a streaming future.

IMO, they used AI tech to upscale textures and even meshes. But, they did not cared about to test them all.

Why should they? Game will sell even with the flaws just because of the GTA name.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I own the trilogy on multiple platforms so I'm not too bothered, even if I didn't, on PC:"That which is dead, never really dies" regardless of a publishers intentions.

That said. I fucking love how awful this whole remaster scenario has played out, it looks completely atrocious and it's plain fascinating to see some of the insane design choices and plain lack of care given. I'm SURE the port devs never meant for it to play out this way, I'm sure of that. The fact that it did is hilarious. Not mad in the slightest and I look forward to seeing how much further this rabbit hole goes.

 

[CapnAmaricrunch]

im playing gta trilogy as we speak, its a great remake. The game is old tho, simple as that, I like how literal the remake is a lot of the time.

 

[RoadHazard]

Seriously WTF Rockstar???

Is San Andreas actually that tiny? Felt huge back in the day.

 

[JayK47]

This is worse than Cyberpunk 2077. Way worse. Cyberpunk was a new game that actually looked decent on the high end systems. This game looks like ass on all systems and shits all over the originals. I would be surprised if they are able to fix this and will likely abandon it after a few patches leaving it to modders to do the rest, if they let them.

 

[BigBooper]

So since there's so many unencrypted files, this should be easy as pie to mod, right? I guess you'd have to find a version before they pulled it somehow...

GTA6 hype. "This time it will be different”.

 

[Halo is Back]

glad I never payed money for this

 

[Barakov]

Seriously WTF Rockstar???

This is the SIlent Hill collection all over again.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

R* should have just paid the modders for this update. I've been using modded gta's for so long now, never seen the point for an "upgrade" when it was already out there..for years

 

[newtypepilot]

Why spend money on competent devs to make a quality product when an inexperienced underqualified one making a broken product will bring in just as much money???

 

[nush]

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

When you think there can't be a bigger insult to legacy gaming than Switch Online Expansion Pass's N64 emulation, Rockstar says "hold my beer" and puts out a HD collection that makes SIlent Hill's look almost competent.

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Rockstar the new CDPR. How the mighty have fallen, when you can do the bare minimum and know you’ll probably still sell millions.

 

[VolticArchangel]

There must be a video of this comparison.

That last modded OG model shits on this "DeFiNiTiVe" edition.
