    This game is absolute trash. I'm so pissed that I bought this... What a waste of money. Who tf do they think they are to sell something this bad to long time fans of the series? It's insulting af.

Online services that purposely make the game so much of a painful grind just to drive you to "micro" transactions.

    Rockstar has become a joke of a company. Like one of those terrible jokes that makes people immediately break eye contact and start looking for the nearest window to jump out of.    … Expand

    Don’t expect it to look anywhere close to the amazing work modders once did for these titles. The quality of work of the game and it’s UI is laughable and quite disrespectful tbh, and whoever worked on this should be ashamed of themselves. The game truly plays and looks like trash on the ps5.

Characters looked so bad and rushed, the windows of buildings that were supposed to look so much better is seriously laughable, the cars don’t look nearly as good as mods and the fps is a disaster on performance and fidelity mode.

    Do yourself a favour and don’t let rockstar and take 2 disrespect you as well. Do not buy, even if this trash is on sale. I’m done encouraging them to release pure garbage due to the passion I once had for these titles.

    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.

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

    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.

    The 3 games look awful now, like a mixture of the old games and newer ones from like 2009 so it just doesn't work and the faces are terrible. There a ton of bugs and the game is poorly optimised. I expected much more than this rubbish :( DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON IT!!!

    I can not believe how little love that rockstar has for the franchise that helped it to be among the best and deliver this lack of respect to its fans, poor development, source codes that were still there and not to mention how it began to claim copyright to modders, really, if this is what I get, I'll stick with the old versions with mods

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Trash. Upto and Upon receiving my disc in the post I was honestly so gassed to get stuck in and re-live these three absolute classics in all their new reskinned beauty… That, Unfortunately, is where the fun stopped. Shortly after I loaded up, it became apparent that rockstar had released a shoddy abomination of the classics in question. Furthermore, I discovered that playing this half ar*ed game felt a lot like the time I took a rather nasty tumble down a very large hill. The hill in question starts with a light slope at the top, but gets steeper and rockier the closer you get to the base. I slipped at the top and made it to the bottom…. The only difference between the two experiences was that I paid rockstar for the privilege of having it the second time. Never been so dissatisfied with a rockstar game let alone a gta title.… Expand

    Played all three games and I'm having a great time. There are things to be fixed but 99 percent of the time the game will run smoothly and look amazing. People should talk after trying it. You don't like it? Refund.

    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.
