    "There's no question that the three games in this GTA Trilogy are all-time classics, but they've unfortunately been remastered with a ham-hand instead of a Love Fist. New features are slight and only partially implemented, visuals are mixed, performance is inconsistent at best, some content is missing, and bugs and glitches abound. In its existing state, this collection of three classic GTA games is far from being considered definitive; it's defective, disappointing, and surprisingly disrespectful to both the legacy of the games themselves and their many legions of fans."

    The biggest positive about this release is how Rockstar themselves accidentally leaked the script source, text sources, internal tools for every game in the trilogy. Which means that the original trilogy and the definitive editions are accidentally fully moddable. Rockstar might go after modders again but with kind of resources, we can make the best versions of both the originals and the definitive editions ourselves

    Rockstar comfortably resides in the upper most Pantheon of game developers, and this release further highlights a growing problem.
    Rockstar knew the game wasn't in a finished state, and they chose to release it anyway, likely to turn a profit during the busy holiday shopping season. "Shoot first and ask for forgiveness later" is becoming mantra of the industry.
    It's unacceptable.
    As games get bigger and more advanced, the development cycles of yesterday are no longer sustainable. Expectations need to be managed on both sides.
    As consumers, we have access to more information than ever. With the cost of games increasing, we must perform due diligence prior to buying. Stop purchasing unfInished games. It's the only way to hold publishers accountable.

    After seeing the GTAV “enhanced” version trailer I’m not surprised by this. Rick Star really needs to hire a group of people who know how to do graphics as their games are always a generation behind

    The insane price wasn't mentioned either. That's a big factor in this for 20 year old games which are buggy

    • @alex.starostin

      yeah. if it was priced at $30 for the trilogy it would've got a less damning response

    Don’t forget: this is the studio that made Red Dead Redemption 2…
    (And *yes* - I’m aware Rockstar outsourced the development to Grove Street Games for this Definitive Edition game, but still they must have cleared it)

      Apparently Rockstar Games did not give this to the Quality Assurance team to give it the get-go to release this garbage.

    San andreas is my favorite game of all time, wanted to buy this trilogy but not anymore. Cant understand how they can mess things so badly

    Every year there should be a big buggy launch like Cyberpunk, GTA DE to remind the gamers never to preorder any game before launch!

    Microsoft, Playstation Sony, Steam companies should also be at fault and criticized for always releasing these unfinished games on their store.

    5 is way to high for this dumbster fire.

    • @wwedbzguy
      @wwedbzguy Před 2 lety +4

      Not really. The score implies that there’s still some fun to be had despite its glaring issues. Based on that, a 5 feels spot on IMO.

    • @AppleInTheDesert
      @AppleInTheDesert Před 2 lety +1

      Not really. I’ve never played gta Vice city because of the outdated controls and now I’m in love with this game

      True

  • @elcapitan008

    Score should have been much lower, the disrespect alone makes this a 2.

    A 5 is way too high. You should've given it a 3 based on all the footage shown.

    Don't worry GTA 6 won't disappoint us. This remaster was done by Grove street games ( the same company that ported android versions of the trilogies).

  • @adampellett4917
    @adampellett4917 Před 2 lety +2

    We got those games from the old PlayStation 2 days before THAT happened already. When that game trilogy came to reinvent it's source material, everything's not fine. Lots of issues to make GTA fans upset. I'm one of them now. Triple shame on you, Rockstar.

    I’m glad to see somebody finally talking about this game in a slightly more positive light. This man’s just summed up the game in a very accurate way.

    • @6ixlxrd
      @6ixlxrd Před 2 lety +17

      Positive light? All I’ve seen is people/reviewers talking about this game positively and trying to look on the bright side. I’m glad someone *finally* got brutally honest about the absolute technical disaster these remasters are instead of trying to play the fence.

  • @sexydanny21awesome

    They should call it Grand Theft Auto Cyber Punk release because this is some Cyber Punk glitches going on here.
