Looks interesting. I still need to finish GTA V first.

---

I am giving up on trying to collect my thoughts on this
Some scenes look good, others look like crap
I will just try it myself and see

---

They revealed what was removed from the soundtrack right before release and it's just embarrassing. They obviously withheld as long as they possibly could before the game came out to minimize the impact it would have, being able to get in front of anyone complaining about it by claiming that they told them ahead of time.

---

They didn't release a gameplay trailer either
It's all very fishy but let's wait for the reviews

---

Wait...
It's not on Steam?

Come on stop fucking this up
It's not like I have anything to play this weekend either, don't want to start something new before BDSP next week. Wasting time on this would have been perfect

At least some of the withheld songs from pre-release track listings have been found/heard in game, so nobody knows whats actually going on there.

Downloaded the launcher
Can't see the store tab
Chat support tells me to relaunch it (which I did like 10 times)
Yeah ok I feel like god wants me to save my money on this garbage so that's it

---

I'm gonna wait for reviews and probably a sale if interested.

The fact that they didn't hype it at all makes me think they wanted to avoid negative press covfefe and just have people buy the games blindly. But I'm not dumb enough to do that.

I'd heard it's all the same songs that were removed from other rereleases; is that not the case? Or is it just that for something called "Definitive" they should've gone to the effort to get those back?

---

"Definitive" edition is a marketing term and not actually indicative of any content or quality

---

I think that's the case, but there are a lot of people that don't know they did that since they didn't pick up the regular releases.

Hell, when this was first announced I brought it up and there were several users here who didn't know, and one who claimed I was incorrect.

---

Didn't the MJ songs get removed from Vice City after the original PS2 run? I remember they weren't around for long.

---

Car stereo songs really don't matter compared to QoL improvements.

---

---

The game is still not available on PC lol

---

They took it off the store for PC suddenly for some reason

Yeah looks like it was absolutely the music they forgot to take out.

Played up to the second island of GTA3. Did cars always explode this easily? Like seriously, everything is exploding all the time.

Otherwise a fun time, although I forgot how painfully dull the plot of GTA3 is. Literally 'hey, go do crimes' randomly until they either introduce you to someone else you can do crimes for or they betray you.

I have to say though, a lot of the complaints I've heard about this game are physics glitches and poor traffic and npc behavior and I'm like... did these people not realize the original games were like this? I saw a post blaming a random plane crashing into the ground as one of the Definitive Edition's flaws but stuff like that would happen to me like once a week when I played San Andreas as a kid.

lol really?
The GTA III trilogy are the the most bugged games I have ever played. I was sure everyone knows that.
I remember that once I hi-jacked a car and then the driver, instead of falling down to the floor, actually flew to the sky. I am sure Youtube is full of bugs like that

I remember in GTA3 I was still in the first area of the city driving in the subway tunnel. A train hit me and knocked me through the level geometry and I ended up falling into the third area. There were no NPCs or anything there bc I guess it only triggers those when you unlock the area normally. After I got bored of exploring the ghost town, I stole the jump plane from the airport and made it back to the first area and saved the plane in my garage so I could get back to the other sections again. Dumb glitches make GTA more fun.

Games played by a lot of people like GTA III/VC/SA are bound to have a lot of glitches found

Whoops

---

Between that, the fucked up character models, and some cases Ive seen where slightly blurry text (that was still obvious with context) got some wrong letters in the remaster, its obvious most of the work on this was done by AI upscaling with no human oversight

---

Just another Western dev getting too big for their britches.

---

Can't wait for GTA to get anti-voted even more in the next contest because of this

---

This is what happens when you let the AI do the remastering

Hahahahahhahahahaha what

I still don't know what is up with the "Top Bun" vs "Top Fun" thing
Was it fake? because I read contradicting reports
Some say it's fake, others says it was fixed, others says that it was partially fixed

https://kotaku.com/rockstar-apologizes-for-busted-gta-trilogy-offers-free-1848090482

Rockstar is making the original versions of the game available again, and giving them free to anyone who bought the Definitive Edition.

That offer will be for anyone who buys the game until next June. They also say they're working on improving the DE, and I'm sure it will drop in price a lot by then, so I think it'll be worth picking up around that time.

I played GTA3 again last night post-patch and the rain looks better at least.
