This is the most buggy and unfinished
DF Edition ever made.
Why Rockstar why

They might have stood a chance if they didn't go for making the trilogy right off the bat. 3 games at $25 each, then trilogy pack with bonus GTA 1+2 included at $60 when it's all finished.

 

[Iced Arcade]

could have just posted in 1 of the other threads instead of doing a remaster

 

[eyesabitdull]

I should have definitely re-bought the trilogy before it went defunct.

Lmao I actually thought that the remaster won't be so bad, so there isnt a need to feel pressured to buy.

Boy am I wrong. Hard.

 

[oldergamer]

The older games were crazy buggy. This does feel like a cash grab. Its been too long since a new gta and i dont think any remasters fill the gap

[MikeM]

I wouldn’t pay for anybody these games in their current states. Only playing SA because of GamePass.

 

[Business]

I mean they know better than anyone what is best for them but I wish they would give a little love to single player content. A remake of RDR on RDR2 engine, RDR2 single player DLC or now a remake of San Andreas to at least GTAV-ish level graphics (like we got a remake for Mafia1) would have been out of this world cool. Instead we get shit and when now we got something it's outrageously bad and half assed. A shame really.

 

[Portugeezer]

I don't get it, what's new in this thread?

 

[AV]

 

[Valedix]

Rockstar who was once praised for their games are now the laughing stock.

 

[Darlingcognito]

Jfc I wasn't expecting it to be so half assed.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Not me. I haven't preordered this shit.

 

[Woodchipper]

We must also never forget that GTA V, which they’re remastering for a second(!) time is delayed.

They are simply the laziest greediest most incompetent fucks in the business right now.

 

[Impotaku]

Instead of calling it the definitive edition they should have called it the cd project style edition, lets you know in a glace at what you'd be getting.

[CircusOfValues]

Was about to correct the spelling of 'Grab' until I realised it's a satire on the multiple spelling mistakes within the games.

 

[MeatSafeMurderer]

They have their bugs, sure...but nothing like the Grand Cash Grab Tragedy Definite Exorcisms.

 

[RoadHazard]

They are only in it for maximum profits these days. All the people who actually cared about this series and had a passion for it have long since left.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Already got a thread up

The Silent Hill remasters are better actually which is amazing

 

[Derktron]

Already got a thread up

Okay Police

Okay Police

 

[CitizenZ]

Well, as I said in another thread, if they only had the money to do a proper release. Thats what GAF always says makes a game better.

 

[Derktron]

That's my face all the time in the stupidity people put on this website. Like who cares? Are you the Police of this website do you get paid to say that?

[nemiroff]

I'm just astound by the fact that one of the largest names in the industry seems to have sleepwalked into this mess voluntarily. A reputation can easily be tarnished with just one stumble, so what the fuck happened with the obvious need for strict subcontractor project oversight.

Edit: I just saw this, LOL:




Sorry if already posted a million times..

[Dr.Morris79]

Not me. I haven't preordered this shit.

I did, lets laugh together

 

[Dr.D00p]

A company who's CEO's are only interested in stock options, 2nd or 3rd luxury home, 5th exotic sports car and 2nd boat for the lakes...living the GTA dream.

That's fucking awful. I hope everybody who paid money for this has demanded a refund.

 

[Mobilemofo]

i'm obviously not buying it, but this is the first time i've ever seen a de-remaster, or re-demaster

 

[Zok310]

Did R* outsource this remaster?

Also, a lot of senior talent left R* years ago, they are not the same studio anymore or the one we have come to love over the past 20 years as a result. It’s starting to show in the products they are now delivering.

 

[RAIDEN1]

To GroveStreet Games:

WTF happened?

 

[Tschumi]

The insta-rage is real here, Rockstar have big, swinging, gold plated balls of excellence when it comes to games, this half assed port by a third party is suddenly nuking their rep? Fuck that.

Do i like the game?

Hell no.

Do i feel the same about Rockstar YET as i do blizzard, bioware, Bethesda? Hell. No.

 

[Shakka43]

Jfc I wasn't expecting it to be so half assed.

The trilogy or this thread?

This has been said a lot, with a good amount of franchises. LIke, who is actually working at these companies now? Did they ever play the series they're working on? Do they even play video games in general? From the outside it looks as though there is no enthusiasm or interest in the games they're working on. It's just a job that needs to get done by a certain time.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

That’s definitely a cash crab.

 

[GametimeUK]

Could try getting the trilogy on CD Keys if you're on PC.

 

[Superwave]

Yawn.

Is the user metacritic justification for this shit post?

 

[DaGwaphics]

What's a cash crab? Not familiar with the phrase.

[AlteredForms]

People are talking about this being as bad as Silent Hill HD Remaster and that couldn't be far from the truth. Yes it was overpriced and there are multiple graphical issues and bugs, but those can be ironed out through patches and tweaks. The mechanics that were included on the whole were competent, the execution was somewhat lacking on Grove Street Games' part.

It's all of the above really. The actual passion for the product went when the suits moved in.
