    Personally so far I havent encountered any bugs and at least it's something to play until rockstars next release but I can see why many including me are disappointed. The price tag set on this game is way too high and graphics arent even that good.

    There is definitely an overwhelming amount of hate for this “definitive edition” trilogy and I’m really not understanding why. The three games are exactly as they were advertised. 1. The graphics are definitely improved over their PS2 originals. 2. The games have the GTA V weapon wheel and weapon mechanics. 3. The games have a much improved frame rate over the originals as they should.There is definitely an overwhelming amount of hate for this “definitive edition” trilogy and I’m really not understanding why.

The games have a much improved frame rate over the originals as they should. What else were people expecting? A full remake? I think this is a classic case of people not keeping their expectations in check and not really understanding what it is that they are buying. Rockstar said it was the three games with improved graphics, mechanics, and frame rate; and that’s exactly what you get. Not sure what else people were really expecting. Downsides 1. I’ve run into a few mission bugs, such as needing to take a car to a pay and spray and the door not opening. Outside of that I haven’t noticed anything. If you played and loved the originals like I did, and you want to experience those same games with better visuals, car/gun mechanics and better frame rate, then I say buy it. If you’re expecting something groundbreaking like a full “remake” then you should avoid because you don’t have realistic expectations.… Expand

    We finally got something from Rockstar Games other than GTA V & GTA Online #NoMoreGTAV #NoMoreGTAOnline.

    It absolutely worth a try, but it doesn’t worth 60$. To be honest, they had to work more on it, they had to add more features, they had to change the gameplay. But overall, it’s good and worth a try.

    the game is just beautiful with some bugs that are funny and make you smile, but on ps4 slim and base it has annoying stutters, I would really appreciate it if you could optimize it better on this platform

    this game is not nearly as bad as people say it is. sure, it's not perfect, but i've got nearly 20 hours total in the game, with about ~14 of those in vice city alone. sure there are problems and the graphics look a bit off at times, but i really dont get the huge backlash. these games are exactly what was advertised. some ppl may not like that and thats fine, but its exactly the remasterthis game is not nearly as bad as people say it is. sure, it's not perfect, but i've got nearly 20 hours total in the game, with about ~14 of those in vice city alone. sure there are problems and the graphics look a bit off at times, but i really dont get the huge backlash. these games are exactly what was advertised. some ppl may not like that and thats fine, but its exactly the remaster the trailers implied… Expand

Il gioco presenta diversi bug della IA,GRAFICA,MECCANICHE DI BASE,CRASH DELLA PLAYSTATION 5, peró se non li avete finiti fino in fondo sono belli da giocare e platinare, per cui io dico che si dovrebbe riprendere con diverse patch successive, se Rockstar games sia già al lavoro per risolvere tutte le componenti disastrose che il gioco presenta. Grove Street Games è una compagnia che è stata ingaggiata da Take-Two per reworkare i 3 titoli della serie su Ps2, ma chiedendo di farlo con componenti che potesse supportare il mobile,quindi lao studio ha creato con l’UNREAL ENGINE 4 la stessa grafica per ogni piattaforma di gioco.… Expand

    Look, I get it there are some issues but let’s give real criticism instead of review bombs. I’m having fun with these games and if they were 10/10 back then, then I’d say they are a solid 7 right now due to the various bugs and glitches, though none of them are game changing. I think lack of some of the licensed tracks takes it down a little as well.

    I played Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - Definitive Edition in 2022 and thought it was a good collection of games that I liked.

    The definitive edition makes me question if these games were good in the first place.

    Frankly, I wouldn't expect this from a company like Rockstar. The graphics look nice, but no details have been added in terms of gameplay. there is no swimming in the water, what else can you say?

    What I like is the Autosave take and the details of the grass and trees. The grass looks very good. Details such as Pressure Marking are nice. Vice City was my favorite among them.

    The reason i bought the definitive edition is because i wanted to replay Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. But also because i never ever played Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It isn't bad but it also isn't good. The game could be much better and Grove Street Games has a chance for it but no, their too lazy with their mobile ports or something.

    While it has its rough edges, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is a worthwhile remaster of three classic titles. Its visual overhaul prevents these games from feeling overly dated, and the quality-of-life improvements modernize the experience in a way that meets today’s standards. Sure, its new art style and character models won’t mesh well with everyone, but it may grow on gamers as time goes by. And sure, while these aren’t the “definitive” editions we expected, this is an admirable attempt to introduce three groundbreaking games to a new generation, and I’m glad it exists.
