    Worst remaster ever, and it costs 60 full dollars! What a scam! Too many glitches and performance issues, not to mention not being able to play the games on PC due to the exclusivity to the Rockstar's bad launcher instead of making the game available on better launchers like Steam!

    I gave the game a week of gameplay before throwing in the towel. So many bugs and I felt very misled by “gameplay” videos before the release. While I did not expect the same performance that you might find on the PS5 or Xbox series S or X, the Nintendo Switch version was worse than playing San Andreas on my Xbox one without the “remaster”. I requested a refund and will chalk this one up asI gave the game a week of gameplay before throwing in the towel. So many bugs and I felt very misled by “gameplay” videos before the release.

    Don't buy, what a disappointment and lack of respect for the series' fans. Bad audio, square characters, meaningless effects, gameplay issues, endless bugs….

    I believe that this game could have been amazing if it weren’t for rockstar hiring the same people who had butchered the 10th anniversary HD remaster.

Rockstars response to fans has been quite cold, considering that we’re the ones that has gotten them to where they are today. If they had have hired modders instead of suing and DMCAing people who just wanted to preserve their childhood favourite games and keep the fire burning for us who love nostalgia, this might have turned out differently. Taking the new games off the Rockstar Games Launcher and forcing diehard fans to wait, or illegally crack a game that they had paid hard earned money for is just downright criminal. May never play a Rockstar game again if they continue being the money hungry greedy corporation they’ve grown into. It used to be that video games were a labour of love, now they’re just cash grabs for money hungry CEOs. For a billion dollar company to not think about their fans is just sad really. Dan Houser is probably cringing so hard at how much his games have been butchered.… Expand

    Rockstar уже не та. Все ожидали графику как в ремастере того же Diablo 2. Или ремейка Mafia. Но брать деньги за то что они сделали нельзя. Теперь понятно почему они не выпустили игру в Steam. Там люди могут писать отзывы и делать рефанд там куда проще.Rockstar уже не та. Все ожидали графику как в ремастере того же Diablo 2. Или ремейка Mafia. Но брать деньги за то что они сделали нельзя.

It's essentially Rockstar throwing a bone to us until they ever decide to release GTA 6. I finished the "definitive" editions of both GTA 3 and Vice City and man they were terrible. The only nice thing objectively would be that some surfaces like the floors, some tunnel walls, etc. do look very HD but the rest of the game looks very off-putting. The art style they chose for the characters looks very unnatural and cartoonish and look even worse than their ps2 counterparts since a lot of detail is lost in the transition. Sure the cars have a bit of a shine to them also but that doesn't really amount to much. The missions and the story remains the same but they tried to modernize it aka put GTA 5 interface (weapon and radio wheels) and apparent shooting but it feels very rough and clunky. The PS5 versions are a joke since both the fidelity and the performance options looked the same to me but the former has an embarrassing 30fps while the latter tries to target 60 frames but spikes a lot under the 40s when there are a lot of things happening. I played SA until the the last set of Las Venturas missions and just couldn't move on and left it there. The three games crashed dozens of times especially since both Vice City and San Andreas crashed in certain missions if you don't put the game on performance mode. Besides some HD environmental graphics the game features an auto-saving system that comes in handy but actually can be detrimental. In both VC and SA the character would sometimes just gets stuck randomly in the middle of a mission and freeze. I had to input cheats to allow the character to get unstuck. To be honest, I was kind of hoping this definitive editions would at least be consistent but they are very mediocre. These remasters are even worse than the subpar remasters of Arkham Collection and Dishonored 1. Even if they do decide to patch these games, I am not planning to ever play them again.… Expand

    Халтура. Оцените как Resident Evil сделали ремастеринг, вот там все очень хорошо. Тут просто, решили заработать денег на продажи старой легендарной игры и даже не постарались перевести игру на новый движок, такой как GTA 5

    The fact they are shuting down mods that fix the game just goes to show they don´t care about the games that put them on the map. Just a cashgrab, can´t even get a refund. They are breaking the consumer protection laws on multiple countrys

    É inacreditável o que fizeram com este três jogos, foi um total desrespeito com os fãs! Nós jamais esperariam algo tão ruim de uma empresa que por muitos anos desenvolveu e criou jogos excelentes, que mudaram a indústria. É ainda mais triste venderem por um preço ABUSIVO de R$ 300,00.

    Warts-and-all remasters that accept the failings of the original games and make amends where possible, but ultimately too flawed to live up to the name. [Issue#9, p.82]

    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.
