    the game does not match the 2021 remaster. Rockstar is not a poor studio to be able to afford full-fledged remakes of these games. just 60 bucks rubbish.

    Zero effort went into this trilogy so zero is the score it will get. How this game was released is beyond me. Oh wait, it's greedy devolves. A quick Google search will lead you to unlimited meme worthy in game images. It's obvious that Rockstar has given up and is just going to milk Shark Cards. Sad to see. If I could give it a negative 10 I would.

    A trash remaster made by some low Asian studios, Rockstar just took the credits. They don't even used their own engine, they remastered the game in Unreal Engine, how silly, but they know how to take your money.

    What have you done Rockstar? Literally what have you done all these years? You put 20 yo old game with same damn gameplay mechanics just changed some lighting and trying to sell same old game.

    This is no definitive edition. A hideous remaster that changes things for the worse, has terrible performance and is full of graphics errors.

    Terrible rushed cash grab. The games look bad, which I can forgive, but there's also lots of bugs and glitches. Just get a copy of the originals.

    If less than 0 was an option it would be used here.

    These games have been ruined, luckily I still have the originals on PS2 or I would never be able to play these again. Unfinished junk, wouldn't pay more than $10 for these **** so called "remasters"

    A simple cash-grab from rockstar games, which does not live to the expectation. Sadly, this games deserved more effort.

    Rockstar Launcher has been down over 24 hours, i cannot play any of their games, because it wants me to connect to internet. This is not okay. Awful remaster by the way. Just awful.

    Anyone who's worked in an office environment knows what happens when you lose the original copy of a document and have to make copies from an existing copy. Eventually you're making copies off of third or fourth level copies and the quality is severely degraded. Text is hard to read, margins are wavy, lines are crooked, there are marks on the page from copier issues. To get a decent copy,Anyone who's worked in an office environment knows what happens when you lose the original copy of a document and have to make copies from an existing copy. Eventually you're making copies off of third or fourth level copies and the quality is severely degraded. Text is hard to read, margins are wavy, lines are crooked, there are marks on the page from copier issues. To get a decent copy, eventually you have to cut up the *least worst* portions of existing deformed copies and tape them to a piece of paper before running it through the copier again.

    That's what this Definitive Edition is. A third or fourth generation copy of the originals that they took parts from other versions and taped together before releasing it. In this case, the CORE of the game are the already bungled mobile ports from several years ago, NOT the original versions. They lifted pieces from the X360 and PS3 ports, the first Windows port, and the original version and cobbled them together with old tape and spit. And the shoddy quality shows.

    Deformed NPCs, missing textures, texture glitches everywhere, idiotic rain textures, removal of elements like fog, no optimization for consoles or PC with scaled down NPCs and foliage making the world feel dead, audio cutouts and pops, frame rate stutters and drops, and, of course, a good third of the soundtrack missing.

    This is a bolted together glorified mobile game they slapped on 4K next gen consoles with a handful of minor graphical modifications they didn't properly QA and yet they have issues properly running on all platforms including beefy top end PC's. There's no excuse for that beyond being a cash grab.

    Asking $60 for this is an absolute joke. Grove Street Games can say they're enjoying all the negative feedback and are listening as much as they want -- the game should have NEVER launched in this state, and I doubt a few patches will fix it. All three need MAJOR overhauls and no amount of patching will change the fact that the core of these games are ports of the mobile versions, not the originals themselves.

    I'm very disappointed to see what's become of Rockstar over the last decade. They went from a studio with multiple beloved IPs ranging from niche to widely popular to being able to only put out two actual games (GTA5, RDR2), and coast for 10 years by milking whales with GTAO Shark Cards and constant ports of GTA5 to 'new' consoles. We lost franchises like Bully, Midnight Club, Max Payne, and Manhunt for this version of Rockstar Games. Remember the days when Rockstar was like, "Screw it, we're going to test our new in-house graphics and physics engines by making and selling a Table Tennis game!"? Those were the days.

    Do not reward them with your money for this. I'm generously giving it a 2 because a 0 feels too much like hyperbole and the addition of the radio wheel was decent, at least...    … Expand

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.

    Absolutely disgusting remaster. Cyberpunk looks like polished art compared to this trilogy. Full of bugs, terrible looking characters, bad graphic and performance. You can't buy legally classic editions of thoose game becouse of this cash grab. Shame on you Rockstar. San Andreas Definitive Edition is not worth to play even on gamepass. 0/10

    Should have invested al those laywer fees into the games instead. It's unbelievable that "amateurs" are able to come up with better remasters than a multi million company. All lower scores aside but one search on youtube comes up with dozens of versions that looks better and that from people that not have the same resources, there is simply no excuse.

Like wow this is bad, and I went in with low expectations wanting to like it. After playing for a few hours I just can't and the only thing holding me in is nostalgia. The rain is horrendously blinding. I noticed after completing taxi fares and unlocking nitro/hydraulics in them that they'll randomly jump in the air after reversing then accelerating after. When I was trying to get the social club achievement to get arrested 50 times, some cops would just pull me out of the car and attack me instead of arrest. Songs on the radio will skip, dialogue during cutscenes will cut off randomly. Lip movements are out of sync, and I noticed tattoos floating like an inch off my body. Swimming on the ocean floor lets you pass through the sand and solid rocks like they're invisible. Old Reece lost about 50 years of age, Denise looks awful. They somehow made the aiming worse. They removed the fog so you can now see the entire map if you fly up high which just destorys any sense of immersion. If this is the so called definitive edition I at least expect what was originally there. I was fine with the missing songs (of which there is a ridiculous total of 36) but I'm not fine with the missing multiplayer mode or cheats. The fact that these are ports of the MOBILE VERSIONS should be enough that they aren't priced any higher than those versions were, but no they want full price. They couldn't even play test this? I've lost all faith in and respect for Rockstar after this. I'm just glad I still have my old original PS2 copies.… Expand

    GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition brings all the fun of the classic games of the series that has always seen its career rise. However, it shows a hard fall with this remaster due to a lack of work in its execution.

    This comeback of the three GTA classics feels superficial and poorly optimized, although some improvements are clearly visible. It's not the remaster we were hoping for, but these are still immortal classics that can still entertain and sometimes even amaze. And sometimes that's all we need.
