    A totally different game while keeping the nostalgia of before, nice reworked graphics, beautiful lighting effects. Only downside, the faces are .. different.

    game much criticized, because users expected more a remake than a remastered. of course the developers could actually work harder although it is a remastered but the game is still well done and they don't deserve this **** storm.

    I liked going through this remaster, as it helped me to plunge into nostalgia and feel the mechanics of the very games that came out 20, 19 and 17 years ago. Initially, when the game was announced on UE4, I thought that another **** would come out that it would be impossible to play normally, but it turned out quite the opposite.

    This is not a bad remaster. Yes, some characters look bad and have weird animations (especially in San Andreas), rain looks terrible at night, fps keeps dropping and there are some bugs.

    An all time classic remastered and it looks and plays great. Proper nostalgia given a BIG uplift. What a game!
    I think the only reason the "User Score" is so low is because of 1 of 3 things:
    1) Players haven't actually played it but are jumping on the bandwagon of haters as the haters don't understand that this game is 17 Years Old and therefore will not play like a 2021 game.

Its Insane Good, The Story of each game has something Special about it because you got: The Dark New York, Scarface and Miami Vice, American Gang Wars and Exploring The Casinos and Secrets at the Scary jungle and dreams! The enhance of these remasters from graphical thing is so good.Vice City Looks Dope! The Sunshine of Los Santos and the nights of Gta3 is insane i cannot talk more! What i did not like is that the driving mechanics are little the same but at least the vehicles are more heavy and gives the feel of GTAIV.

    I literally don't understand the fuss. reworked sound, serious work on light(new engine) and everybody just "no-no"? mb it's the part of gta they choose, but gta 3 only looks good and nice. no soundtracks deleted too.

    Exactly what I expected, I don't understand the negative reviews, it was clearly said that it's not a remake and just a remaster. Yeah, optimization is horrible, but it's the problem of Unreal Englne mostly, all the games based on this Engine are like that, furthermore I'm sure It's going to be optimized in the future. It has some bugs but they're insignificant, they don't break the game.Exactly what I expected, I don't understand the negative reviews, it was clearly said that it's not a remake and just a remaster.

    he game's targeting system has also been adjusted. Using triggers and both analog sticks (a la "Manhunt"), players take more complete control of C.J., and can have him run and strafe, change targets, and shoot in almost any direction, even while moving in another.

    It's baffling how or why this package came out in the state that it's in. There are some blatant oversights or flat out mistakes whether it's NPC clothes where there are bump/normal maps that don't math the texture map (like a # 9 jersey with a visible 7), but there are some even more confusing texture changes that make it seem like the original game assets were put through an AI upscalingIt's baffling how or why this package came out in the state that it's in.

    The game's being review bombed for a ton of reasons - mostly ignorant nonsense - but it definitely has its issues. The modern aiming mechanics are bad, some of the weather effects are overemphasized, the soundtracks have obviously been altered due to licensing issues, and the game runs a bit jankily considering there's no reason for 20 year old games to run anything but flawlessly, even on a new engine.

    I wouldn't really recommend this. It's not the catastrophe the review bombing indicates, but it's definitely sub-par.    … Expand

    По сути это вполне нормальный ремастер оригинальных GTA. Местами имеются баги, но некоторая часть из них осталась из оригинальных игр (лол), разработчикам явно необходимо было обратить внимание на графические баги и внешний вид некоторых персонажей. Не понимаю на самом деле откуда столько хейта в сторону этого ремастера.По сути это вполне нормальный ремастер оригинальных GTA.

    Game is totally fine, there are some bugs and issues but i haven't experienced any game breaking bugs, and i have completed the game 3 times already 1 for trophies, 1 completion with cheats, and 1 for fun. Rockstar and the developers will fix all of the problems no doubt about that. Real fans keep faith.

    I found this game to be very good and it revived old memories in me, i didn't even remember the storyline so it was like a first time to me, i consider this to be must play if you played the original ones 10+ years ago (obv get it pirated for now because it is very expensive). I didn't get any glitches so maybe i'm losing some of the rage here, i'd give it a 9 for what i got at 0 bucks.I found this game to be very good and it revived old memories in me, i didn't even remember the storyline so it was like a first time to me, i consider this to be must play if you played the original ones 10+ years ago (obv get it pirated for now because it is very expensive).

    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.
