    This is a disgrace it's a buggy mess and to think they removed good mods for this excuse if a game the character models are awful theres less content than in the original games no one would've cared if they left it for a few more months so it could be properly developed but this is a tragedy Read Dead 2 was really the end of an era for rockstar games

    The map, vegetation and textures are fine, but the rest of the game is a complete disgrace.

    When you think of Rockstar Games, you think of quality content. When you think of GTA, you think of the best game ever made.

It's a best-selling game that broke a lot of records and R* deserved it.... But that was almost 10 years ago. The mindset has changed a lot and the result can be seen today in GTA: The Trilogy: Definitive Edition. The goal of this remaster was to bring the classic titles to modern consoles and allow new players to enjoy the game as we did 20 years ago. But only in theory. What you get is actually not what you would expect from a GTA game, but the complete opposite. The graphics of the game seem new and beautiful for the first few minutes, but then you realize that the game hasn't been maintained at all. It's like "let's use Unreal because it has nice graphics, and just slap it on GTA III/VC/San Andreas" that's it. Sure, you can't just use a completely different engine, that requires some work.. Right? No, that's excatly how it looks like. All 3 games have the same bugs that you'd find in the original version of GTA. The remaster also introduced a lot of new bugs that just ruin the gameplay. The controls are really weird (especially in VC where it feels like you're playing the game on Stadia, Nvidia NOW, etc, but with a really bad internet connection). Some of the new textures are simply taken from GTA V, you can now see billboards with GTA: Online characters on them. A widescreen TV from the mid-2000s can now be found in GTA VC in Diaz mansion (the game is set in 1986).

    And much more. That's just the tip of the iceberg, there's a lot more to tell, but I think most of it can easily be found on social media.

    Would I recommend anyone to buy this game? No! If you really want to enjoy classic GTAs: find a PS2 and a copy of GTA Trilogy and enjoy the real masterpiece that R* created back in the good old days.    … Expand

    Id like to preface that I only played San-Andreas so far. I got about 7-8 hours in.

    This was a great opportunity to make these games "friendlier" and without stupid design decisions. Spent 20k dollars on weapons, grenades and car upgrades? Well once you die/get arrested, you can say bye to all of that. Parked a car before a cut-scene? Well say bye to that too.

    Parked a car before a cut-scene? Well say bye to that too.
    Left a car one street away? bye, bye!
    Seriously, there is so many issues with these games that people just overlooked because they were revolutionary for their times. In new or remastered games you at least expect some nice quality of life features.
    So the car upgrades are still useless because you're gonna lose your car before the mission.
    In some spots you can clearly see AI upscaled textures that look like impressionist paintings.

    Some of the improvements are not really improvements at all, when you buy new clothes in san andreas you get sort of a really bad preview of the item, like badly drawn shirts and shoes that don't show anything how the item actually looks. For example a green shoe is drawn like a white shoe.

    Not to mention the clipping of your clothes trough your character like chains and watches and hats.
    Just lots of bad things left over that was not fixed, certainly not a "definite" edition. More like lazy, lets use an AI from github that will upscale all the textures, draw a few of our own textures and thats it.

    Another "improvement" is glow around enemies, which is basically like some sort of hunter vision in other games, very ugly and immersion breaking.
    Some things got worse, the lifting minigame in the gym is pretty much broken and not a challenge at all.
    With the weakest CJ , you can lift the heaviest weights by just mashing e.

    Controls are bad and mouse support is pretty much non existent in the menus.
    This is a game where by default "T" key is cancel/go back operation in menus.
    What? I have a feeling the devs didn't play their game.

    I was playing on a rx480 and ryzen 3600 and the game ran at around 60fps at high. Not great for a game that looks like this. For example battlefield 4 I run at 144fps at high.

    Very disappointing, don't waste your money. I am giving 1/10 because now at least you can instantly restart a failed mission.    … Expand

    Rockstar is officially dead. Resting on their laurels of an overaged game library. Like all great civilizations that eventually fall, so goes Rockstar. This pathetic money grab of a port that a third grader playing with code would have done better. It's no longer "shame on Rockstar"—the house has simply fallen.

    Literally the WORST remaster of a much loved trilogy, and look, I've played that crap Silent Hill remaster.

    For starters, I'm Brazilian and I bought the game on Rockstar's official website, both for PC and consoles for the price of R$600, equivalent to U$109.91 (direct conversion).

    Okay, since I've already shown my indignation. Here are the problems of this ''game''.

    Horrible polish.

    Characters border on the absurd of the ugly.

    Lack of details.

    The rain from the game looks like water squirted from a shower.

    The same audios as the original games

    The same bugs as the original games
    (As an example, I can cite the car bug below the Monster Truck tire, which is still in the game).

    The MASSIVE amount of graphical bugs and among other types.

    (But what about the strengths?).

    The graphics, scenery and cars are very beautiful. And nothing else.

    (But this is a remaster, not a remake).

    That's no excuse for a large Rockstar company to sell 20 to 15 year old games with nice graphics for a price of a new AAA.

    Remaster examples that annihilate GTA Trilogy:
    Resident Evil 1 HD Remaster

    Although it is a nice touch to re-release this games with various enhancements, it isn't worth 60$ by any means. It really feels like they threw some cheap shaders, models and texture mods, and that's all about it. It also has severe performance issues, bugs and glitches. Do not buy.

    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.
