    While it isn’t without merits, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive Edition is also plagued by many technical problems. You might relive some nostalgia if you’re a fan of the classics, but new players should wait for Rockstar to release some patches before diving in.

    Even if the charm of the originals reveals itself every now and then - these masterpieces deserve a better remake.

    It's hard to shake off the feeling that someone wanted to get money from nostalgic fans. GTA Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is an interesting but painful journey. I liked revisiting Vice City the most - new graphics suit this game more than the other two.

    Two of the three games are still pretty great, but this is one of the most brazenly offensive cash grab releases I've seen in recent memory.

    Overall, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was set up to be one of the best things for GTA fans and it failed to hit that mark. It will now be remembered as a failure to launch title but I am sure Rockstar will step in and continue to fix some items within their game world.

    The more important question is whether these Definitive Editions are the ideal way to experience the trilogy, and that is a resounding "Hell no." No matter how the vaunted feature list looks, there are scant few creative decisions implemented for these ports that make themselves at all superior to the other versions released over the years. It's hard not to think about the games that this trilogy would inspire--stuff like Mafia, Saints Row, Yakuza, Sleeping Dogs--and how well each of those series have been preserved and updated. The fact that the Godfather of open-world crime sagas has been outclassed so thoroughly in that regard is infuriating enough to push fans into a rampage. Thankfully, it's raining outside.

    Rockstar dropped the ball on this remaster. The cars and other moving models look like plastic toys and the cities look like polished excrement. The contrast between the environment and the models is horrible and the list of bugs is long and obnoxious. Quality of life changes are the only redeeming part of this remaster that does no favours for fans or newcomers. Skip it until they either fix it or let the moders do their job.

Poor optimisation, lot of bugs, and glitches. Due to the age of the game, it would have been appropriate to bring a minimum of 30 continuous fps on each platform. There was no gameplay preview at all. That could have been a warning sign.… Expand

    Zero-effort cash grab.

    Rock* knew this would be a turd, so in anticipation, instead of releasing a quality remake, they simply banned the    Zero-effort cash grab.

    Rock* knew this would be a turd, so in anticipation, instead of releasing a quality remake, they simply banned the existing pc ports on steam, DMCA'd as many of the mods that improved those games as they could, and then squeezed this steaming pile of buggy, blurry garbage out on the world.

    These games are so bad. When it rains you literally can't see. Crashes left and right and I'm not talking about vehicles. You have to use Rock*'s own absolute shi**er launcher instead of Steam. Completely un-optimized. It barely runs on a 3080 RTX. The atmosphere of the games has been totally trashed.

    Until now, Blizzard had claimed the throne as the ultimate greedy, cashgrab king with zero-effort remakes. Warcraft 3 Reforged was the brown-standard in how to f*ck over your loyal fans in an effort to squeeze ever last dollar out of a franchise. In what can be described as a herculean effort to avoid any effort at all, Rock* has done the impossible and released the lowest-quality remake of game possible.

    GG Rock*, your legacy is forever tarnished.    … Expand
