    You'd have a better time playing one of the GTA rip off mobile games. Atleast you wouldn't see three beloved classics butchered by an indifferent studio and incompetent management.

    If you have the possibility to play the original games, play them. It's a waste of money, there are so many bugs. The one point just of nostalgy reasons. All you had to do was making a good remaster, Rockstar!

    Honestly the only good thing about this trilogy is some of the textures look a bit better. But the bad things feels endless. The longer I play the more things I find. Rockstar claims they are working to fix these issues but I haven't seen any improvements since its release. This game is literally just a way to scam people out their money.

    Honestly the only good thing about this trilogy is some of the textures look a bit better. But the bad things feels endless. The longer I play the more things I find. Rockstar claims they are working to fix these issues but I haven't seen any improvements since its release. This game is literally just a way to scam people out their money. Little to no effort was put into making this product good.
    The part I hate most about this game isn't even the game itself. They removed peoples mods that they worked harder to make than what rockstar did making this trilogy. They also removed the original games so people are forced to buy this over priced junk. You cant even buy the individual games! So if you only wanted to buy 1 of them, you have to buy all 3. Another way in rinsing you for more cash, charging you for something you're probably never gonna use. After Rockstar pulled this stunt I actually despise the company and I hope someone buys them out so they can stop ripping off their customers.
    This trilogy was not play tested at all. As long as it started up then it hit the shelves. I miss the days when devs would hand their game out to a few people so they could give them feedback. That way a we would get a working game. I stopped pre ordering games so I could read reviews on the product. I played this through PS Now and gamepass. If I paid for it I would have demanded a refund. I have not tested vice city but I can imagine the same issues are there if they are in both III and SA.

    Anyway here is some of the bad things I have found. (These are problems with all 3 games unless said otherwise)
    You can only change weapon using 1 button or you can hold it down to bring up a GTA V style weapon wheel. If you were like me and switched back and forth to reload then you're out of luck.
    Some of the textures haven't been updated making them look stupid.
    Character modals look stupid. This badly shows in San Andreas where its people with a darker skin colour. They look kind of red aswell.
    The gun play is this game sucks. Switching between targets is no longer instant but instead you have to hold the analog left or right for about 2 seconds before it switches to the next target.
    The aiming target stays green rather than corresponding to the health of the NPC.
    The game is based from the mobile version so its way easier than the original games.
    Certain textures have been resized like leafs and stuff. Because of this they now overlap in certain areas so you'll have loads of leaves randomly floating off the side of a hill.
    There is no longer fog. This is definitely 1 of the worst issues. You can now look into the distance and see the games render distance and stuff.
    The audio files are a really low quality, likely ripped from the original games. So you have a HD game with what sounds like 100kbps audio files.
    Not sure if its just me but GTA III at night is way to dark. I turned the brightness up and then during the day time its way to bright.
    No longer does stuff blow in the wind making the game feel more bland. (In the original games you would have trash and leafs blowing around)
    The game is extremely over priced. Its $50 when it should be $30 for all 3 or $15 each.

    I just don't understand how you can remaster a game and make it have less features and play worse than the original games? The worst part is that they aren't even working to improve it and make it just as good. You could have a better experience by paying for the original game on PC (Don't worry it should run or more or less any PC that can run windows 10).
    Use the GTA SA downgrade tool. This will allow any mods to work. If you have the disc version you will no longer need a disc inserted either.
    Then install the texture update mods. I am sure people would have reuploaded them after the scum bags known as rockstar removed them. With the texture mods you will have a game that looks better and plays better than this pathetic excuse for a game. This is an insult to the original games and its an insult to those who paid for it. There needs a be laws on what qualifies as a finished product in order to charge for it. This definitely is not what I call finished.    … Expand

    Pathetic and embarassing puritanical woke and PC crap! Everything GTA has always been against! Don't support woke/PC and puritan products and companies, especially if those products were originally conceived in a different way and with a different target, certainly non NPC SJWs and neo-puritans! So this is also book burning! Remember, "Get WOKE, go BROKE"!

    Do not buy this game, I repeat: Do NOT buy this game. It is a shame to see that greed for money in its purest form led to such a shameful product, staining the formerly good reputation of Rockstar. One of the most hideous and absurd aspects about all this is that this product is called "The Definitive Edition". It should be taken off all stores immediately.

    men orginalen var ubrekelig i widescreen og måtte ha skalere og vise 4:3 som 16:9 og sikte var anderledes i widesscreen og ubrukelig posisjon på hud. 3gta haddet vertfall grei mus etter justering. i orginalen i menyen. som vice city haddet problemer prøvd directx wrappere fra 8 til 9 for navigere i menyene og mods ditt og datt for kontrollere brukt tastatur og definitivbe versionen har bedre kontroll å fly som oppdrag i vice city og sånt. og syns revc var vanskelig for de skjøt meg ned med en gang og haddet ingen sjangs både i vc og 3. så vist du er lei gamle bugs og venter bedre version uten å fikse ditt og datt er nok definitive versionen bedre    … Expand

    On PS5 the performance is worse than on the PS2 version.

    All the bad to those effective managers and endlessly greedy leadership. There is no negativity towards the developers, they showed that they were crooked and untalented even when they were making a mobile port and did what the bosses wanted from them.
    But it was possible to make remakes on the GTA 5 engine, then finish the remasters in GTA online and swim in money for years to come ....

    Remember this is made by a billion-dollar company, graphics are horrible the facial expressions are gone what little there was. Some of the Cheat codes are gone, some of the music is gone.
    they didn't bother to use new sound effects, rain in this game look like a filter, character models look like crap.

    GTA Trilogy was always the favorite of GTA fans, but with GTA Trilogy The Definitive Edition, it seems like Rockstar Games just haven't paid enough attention to bugs and glitches, also many characters have not been taken good care of. Although Rockstar's other games may be good, this remaster will leave a black spot on Rockstar's reputation forever.

    Absolute trash, which was placed only in the home store, where you cannot write a review, and are sold at full price and there are no regional ones. There is practically no development work here. Everything was done by neural networks, and was not even tested. In addition, the developers began to harass mod creators to remove them. Worst release of 2021.

    Instead of making a new and exciting game, Rockstar decided they wanted to cash grab and had a singular person work for 2 hours "improving" the old games. Absolutely disgusting of a business practice and every single executive at Rockstar should be fired and banned from working on anything gaming related ever again. They dont care about gamers, only lining their greedy pockets.

    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.

    I cannot currently recommend Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition on the PC, and a lot has to happen until I do. The truth is that I've had a decent amount of fun with this remaster; part of it is based on nostalgia, and part of it is based on some ridiculous, unavoidable bugs that weren't as frequent as I'd feared. Given all of these issues and the abysmal performance of the three games on the PC, I'd stay away from the trilogy until several major updates have been released. Even then, this remaster may not be for everyone.

    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.
