Ну а что следовало ожидать от подразделения рокстаров , которые делали кривые и уёбищные порты на пс3 , иксбокс 360 и мобилы.. Как я рад , что успел отменить предзаказ. Но к сожалению, всё таки , с этим детищем я столкнулся у своего друга , который тоже жалеет о своей покупке..

Actually no, at least the bugs In Cyberpunk some of the bugs had me on the floor rolling in laughter. This is a huge waste of money and frankly I wish I bought Battlefield 2042.

    NO LAUNCHER EVER REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE A INTERNET CONNECTION FOR PLAYING SINGLE PLAYER TITLES. Well steam works. orgin works(orgin is made by EA and it WORKS)Epic games works(but has to enable offline login in settings). ubisoft connect works. BUT ROCK STAR LAUNCHER.

Sony made it surprisingly easy to refund when i told them i how often it crashes , which it does constantly and usually right as I'm finishing a mission meaning I will have to replay the whole mission. My main problem with this "definitive" edition is its not a remastered port of the classic GTA trilogy like we were told it was its a remaster of the incredibly dumbed down mobile phone port which is far easier and has none of the charm from the PS2 era games. I dont even mind it having ugly character models and poorly written badly spelt signs that worst part of it is how badly it runs even on a ps5 playing on the FPS mode it drops to single digit FPS whenever rival gang members open fire on you

    I've been extremely disappointed with Rockstar since the launch of GTA online and seeing how much micotransations it had and how they basically built the game and following updates around making you endlessly grind for money or buy in game money with real money but this is the final nail for me they would have to do a lot of work for me to re buy this "complete **** edition or even any games they make in the future

    The original style and aesthetics are completely lost. Game design and visual design are destroyed. You can compare frame-by-frame, and the original will be better, except for some technical points like textures resolution, drawing range, 60 FPS, etc. But it can't even be recorded as a plus, for the for the remaster released in 2021, it should be by default.

Este remasterizado é extremamente feio, cheio de erros e tem tantos problemas com modelos de personagens, etc. Eles não melhoraram quase nada. A IA está pior do que nunca, sem natação para 3 e Vice City, sem escadas de escalada para San Andreas, sem sistema de cobertura, nada de novo. Onde há melhorias na qualidade de vida e * muito mais * do que prometeram no artigo do NewsWire? E agora eles pedem 60 dólares por isso. Quem já trabalhou nisso tem pouca experiência em photoshop, é isso. Eles não têm ideia de como programar coisas novas. Este é o produto mais amador que uma empresa de bilhões de dólares já lançou. Eu absolutamente não me importo que a Rockstar North não tenha trabalhado nisso. Eles contrataram o estúdio, deram luz verde, eles estavam bem para lançá-lo em um estado como este. Está tudo por conta deles. Tudo. Agora que o Rockstar Launcher está fora do ar há mais de um dia, não consigo nem jogar Red Dead Redemption 2, porque ele me pede para me conectar à internet e não consigo fazer isso, porque o launcher está fora do ar. Isto é ridículo. Eles têm ordenhado GTA Online há mais de 8 anos e isso é tudo de que são capazes por agora. Sim, Red Dead 2 era ótimo, mas isso foi há 4-5 anos. Isso é muito tempo. Expand

Flying under the radar until a couple weeks before it's announcement, and then flopping onto the scene in the most chaotic way possible, its no wonder Rockstar didn't announce its existence until it was forced to. This pile of dung is so disheartening, that it literally overshadows the recent string of poor development and support from Rockstar on their RDR2 and GTAO woes.

    These games were built off the horrible mobile versions of the games by Grove Street Games and are so unpolished... well, tbh my mods that I made in 5 minutes for Skyrim have more QA to them. Glitches to the point you can't play, soft locks, the worst rain in over 30 years (hell, Perfect Dark on the N64 had better graphics when it came to rain drops)... I honestly can't express how betrayed, angry, disappointed, and sad this trilogy makes me. I feel like CJ's arm pits in 95% of the cutscenes in the new version- hollow and pathetically alone.

    The launch was an utter failure as they essentially uploaded the working drafts of the game and forced the entire PC community to be without for 4 days without so much as an "I'm sorry" for nearly 36 hours. When we did finally get an answer, it turned out they left the source code and unlicensed music- at least one gift to the best platform (PC, duh)... a chance for the community to actually fix all the massive problems.

    Those problems include, massive glitches, missions that would soft lock- preventing the game from ever being beatable/progressing from that point; the worst character models you could imagine, worst physics than what the originals ever had, and crystal clear draw distances (AKA you can see the entire damn map of SA from the tallest building without any obstruction... right up to the literal (yes they literally put a wall out there) infinity line of the horizon. The president of the Grove Street Games even has the audacity to sit on twitter and praise this stinking pile of garbage and mock unhappy customers- yes, us, the consumers who are currently feeling duped.

    There are some good things though... they managed to somehow reignite that nostalgia, although I think, honestly, it's due to the fact that the originals were that good. If this were any other brand, it would have been removed permanently and the companies would have folded. However, this is Take Two, Rockstar, and Grove Street Games at their current finest. They don't give a **** about quality anymore, they only care about the bottom dollar, and as long as we keep throwing money at their crap, they'll keep making it. Luckily, the incompetence of GSG has allowed for other, cheaper ways to get this.

    TLDR: Don't buy it, the quality issues alone will make your eyes bleed and give you more hours of frustration than enjoyment.

    Rockstar is starting to be just like Take Two, minding the money and nothing else. This game is not worth a full price, don't buy it.

    Too bad a classic like this has been lazily and carelessly remastered. Bugs everywhere, bad characters and NPCs, strange rain, no physics improvements, no free sights on vehicles, no sound remastering, recycled GTA SA icons and sounds, among other issues. The price charged doesn't make any sense for a game like this...

    Totally upsetting, especially Vice City. Menu sounds that been replaced with ones from SA, Tommy looks obese VS original game where he has slim and hot. They didn’t even re-rendered 3D parts from game’s intro, they just took the 2003 game footage and put stupid filter on it. Disgusting, I’m asking my money back.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is by far one of the most shameful and pointless compilations since the Silent Hill HD collection. Where to start?

    Well for one, most of the iconic music is missing, that by itself gives it a zero out of ten. The music is CRITICAL to the entire feel of those games and most of the best tracks are just gone. Its not really a "definitive edition" if its missing content now is it. The games just aren't the same without "You dropped the bomb on me" or "Billie Jean"

    But that's not all. They all run like **** most of the time too (especially on switch) despite the source material being decades old. There is no reason a PS2 game with some ****ty bloom and lighting effects smeared over it on the crappy unreal engine can't run on the switch. The switch can run breath of the wild but not GTA3. The PC, PS and Xbox versions aren't great ether. This isn't even a Spyro Reignited situation where the first game is pretty ok but the other two feel half finished. Every game here sufferers in some major way unforgivable way.

    Some of the changes ruin the atmosphere. San Andreas doesn't have fog anymore which is both unrealistic for the California setting but also makes the world feel empty and like a toy trainset when flying high up. The games are also full of misspellings, look at any random sign and I promise with a 99% chance the signs will be spelled wrong. All the games are way too dark and the rain looks white and thick like God **** on you specifically because the rain doesn't even look like its happening anywhere but directly on you and only you. Lots of little things where changed that just suck, like all the menus use San Andreas sound effects now for no reason. Hell, San Andreas isn't even based on the original, its the ****ty mobile version we got back on the PS3/360. Its full of glitches and technically issues not on the PS2 original.

    These games somehow look significantly worst then the PS2 versions. The character models are Lovecraftian monsters. Candy Suxxx, Denise and Ryder are particularly awful looking. Asuka is cross eyed and worst of all the three protagonist are butchered to comedic proportions. Tommy Vercetti looks like a greasy Seth MacFarlane and has weird fingernails. Claud Speed looks on the verge of depression all the time and CJ looks like **** Shrek. Sure, the Grand Theft Auto series has always struggled with humans. The games always looked a generation behind when it came to character models but these are by far the ugliest humans the series has produced so far.

    For a "Definitive edition" a whole lot of things are worse and there isn't much new. The new mechanics like third person aiming, checkpoints, GPS and the weapons wheel are weak new additions and could have been easily done with mods to the existing games (Oh, wait Take 2 hates those never mind) Now don't get me wrong they are neat inclusions but for a "Definite edition" you'd expect more. Like what if they added cut content like the skate board in San Andreas or some of the cut missions. Or better yet what if it had an extra campaign where Claud, Tommy and CJ team up to do a bank heist or something! But (To rant about remakes for a bit) that would require effort and be something cool that actually make the games even better then they are. No we are in the age of bull**** remakes that are JUST the original game running on Unreal with a graphics mod on it. This isn't a problem with just this game but all these remakes we keep getting in general.

    I'm sick of the Spyro Reignited type of remake that is just the original but with motion blur and ugly bloom everywhere running on a ****ty engine that should be retired already. A lot of people are suckered into this like "Wow look its that thing I liked as a kid but now its new again!" but honestly I find most of these insulting like "You don't have to play that ****ty old version this is the new shiny version! **** those people who worked hard back in the day with much less. We come and misunderstand the intention of the originals and updated it with modern memes and **** Ok well, the game industry keeps changing, what happens in three years from now when this new one is outdated too? Oh what, the new reinvigorated, refurnished version is old now too! Oh wow its almost like that was a waste of our time and you should have just made a new game! Did these games even need to be remade? They are slightly rough around the edges compared to games now but they are old. Everyone and everything gets old and that's fine. They are by no means unplayable just because "Gasp, there is no third person aiming in 3 and Vice city" same thing with Spyro "Oh god, the game is not in wide screen and L and R control the camera hide your children" Just get over it. Games out right now will suffer the same thing later anyway so just let them be old and enjoy it for what it is. Maybe focus on the next actual game instead of **** up games that where fine.

    Or in sort, this **** sucks don't play it!

    This is the worst remake/remaster of a game ever created. The GTA series is iconic and this is a stain on the reputation of the trilogy. The games should've never been remastered. Instead, how about this, Rockstar, announce GTA6...

    - map is empty (which is not acceptable at all)

    From the Definitive Edition of the iconic GTA titles emerged a technically unfinished remaster, which remained halfway. The content is and will always remain timeless, but the way to get to it and to enjoy it is simply not good.

    A textbook example of how not to remaster games from the PlayStation 2 era, these defective "definitive" releases are just desecration of three classic titles that deserve much better treatment.
