    That's the worst thing Rockstar could do to GTA fans
    This definitive edition is straight up trash.

    Our expectations were low but holy f*ck. This is wrong on so many levels but knowing Rockstar no issue will be resolved. Imagine having trouble hitting 60 fps in a 20 years old game.

    What a disappointment. Constant framerate drops, the visuals sucks & music missing. This is definitely not the definitive version.

    Foi uma longa espera pelo retorno da série GTA aos consoles da nintendo, e o resultado nao poderia ser mais decepcionante. Frame Rate caindo a quase zero, em um jogo de 2005! Num console de 2014! Em san andreas nao tem nem como usar cheats. Foram capazes de piorar a experiencia que é jogoar os classicos ao extremo. Meus parabens pelo trabalho porco Rockstar.

    This game was over-hyped and was released being very buggy. I've experienced issues ranging from graphical issues to severe frame rate drops(especially in GTA III). Do not buy and if you did, call Nintendo for a refund saying how bad this game is.

    I don't normally write reviews for games that I buy but this is really disappointing. Even ignoring all the graphical glitches and changes, it runs very poorly on the switch. The frame rate instability makes it borderline unplayable, especially when a lot goes on onscreen. This coupled with graphical pop-in and non-precise controls makes it just not fun to play.

    Man, this game was on my GOTY list even before it released! But what a mess. Not optimized at all, the stuttering is hideous. The graphics on the old version were even better! Just release the OG versions and throw this away.

    What is even up with the gunplay??? Gonna try to ask my money back.

Worst part is Rockstar knows it's garbage, there is a reason there was and still is a lack of communication regarding the title.… Expand

    The GTA Trilogy are amazing and cult classics. But this port is just unacceptable.
    And the problem it's not on the hardware. The other and only game that Rockstar has released on the plattform is L.A. Noire, a portable version of the 2017 remaster that runs surprisingly smoothin comparison to this.

    I was very happy that they decided to include Nintendo in this release, but it's personally frustrating that the first time that these titles arrive like this: graphics are what I expected, nothing special but good nontheless for the system.
    But the performance is horrible (unstable 30 fps, blurry gameplay, crashes...). It makes me wonder how much time did they spent on this version...

    Seeing the results makes me wish they just released the originals in HD. Wait for the physical release and let's see if there's a patch by then, because rn it's a mess...    … Expand

    If you expected a half-assed port, then you’re pretty on the mark. There’s a lot of strange issues that crop up across all three games. Texture pop-ins are pretty standard. I honestly wish they’d just ported the gen 5 versions than let another studio “remaster” them.

    И ради этого стали угрожать разработчикам модов судами? Наняли бы их хотя бы,раз у самих руки из жопы растут. Это бы и то больше оправдывало цену,чем то,что получилось.

    Absolutely unplayable piece of crap. I’ve expected some mixed experience, but this goes beyond any expectations. The game is slow, buggy and and graphics is even worse that it was on PS2 back in a day. Even my old iPhone runs the mobile version better.

    I do prefer the original ones being ported, that's how bad this trilogy is...

    Buggy, slow frame rate, overall **** port. I can't believe rockstar let this happen. $60 to top it off. I was super stoked for san Andreas I haven't played it in years. What a let down. I'd rather play it on mobile

    Rockstar Games has become so indifferent to the players that they decided to make a remaster of the original trilogy without any effort.

After watching the trailer and the gameplay that was merged the day before the release, I realized that I would not even go into the Definitive Edition, and what to go there, everything is already clear from the trailers and gameplay.

    If T2 and Rockstar Games didn't need the money, they would have made a good remaster, but the reality is upsetting.

    GTA The Trilogy: The Definitive Edition is a collection of 3 great titles that left their mark in history. However, the so-called Definitive Edition came out without the deserved treatment.

    These are all great games, some of the most influential AAA sandbox games of all time. I cannot in good conscience recommend you play this version, especially if you wanted to check out the Nintendo Switch version. It’s quite ironic that unnecessary and ugly visual overhauls make these ports of PS2 games almost unplayable on this system. I hate to be cynical, but I don’t think you could salvage these things without redesigning everything from the ground up. Grand Theft Auto deserved better, and you deserve better than to waste your money on this.

    In its current state, the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is only worth getting if you can get it at a large discount and assuming you’re willing to put up with many technical issues on Switch. While a lot of the major bugs I ran into have been addressed in patches, this is still nowhere near as good as it should be given how important these three games are to gaming in general. It also doesn’t help that the Switch patches are delayed compared to other platforms.
