CLASSICAL GAME
Im playing this far after the release. It was nostalgic and the upgrades make it enjoyable
My Situation I bought the GTA Definitive Edition Trilogy because of the upcoming release of GTA 6. I wanted to play through all the GTA games before GTA 6 drops, so that is why I am starting with the first game in the 3D era, GTA 3. Gameplay For the gameplay, I have to say this is probably the most annoying game I have ever played in my life. Of course, for the time it came out, I am sure it was a revelation and way ahead of its time, but playing it nowadays is just terrible. Driving Physics: The driving physics are horrible. All the cars feel like plastic boats. To make matters worse, they explode after taking just two bullets. The cars explode so much, and I failed so many missions because of that. Mission Design: The layout is so bad. You do not get any clues on what exactly to do. Most of the time, you just roam around the map trying to find out what to do. The worst part is that some missions are fairly long, and when you die, you always have to do every single step over again. There are absolutely no checkpoints. You have to start from the beginning. You can clearly see what I am talking about in the very last mission: you get zero instructions on what to do or where exactly to go, and when you fail at a late stage, you have to start the whole thing over. Health & Police Systems: These systems are total trash. The only way to get health is by picking up health pads scattered randomly around the map, which is incredibly inconvenient if you have not memorized the map beforehand. As for the police, you cannot get rid of them just by hiding. You literally have to pick up the police badges on the ground to reduce your stars, or you have to get your car resprayed. There is no other way to lose them, which is so dumb. Combat: The gun gameplay, of course, is not great either. Story The story is very bad. First of all, we have a protagonist who does not speak, which is the first major downside. But the story itself is basically us being a snitch. We work for three different gangs and constantly betray our own bosses. The entire loop is just: go to this boss, do what they say, and at the end, someone says, "Yeah, kill your boss," and then we kill him. There is no real story here. This game was clearly just made to showcase an open-world game, how it plays out, and what it looks like to have absolute freedom where you can just kill pedestrians and stuff. The story is honestly irrelevant. Performance I read a few reviews claiming that the Definitive Edition has very bad optimization and performance. For me personally, I did not have any problems with stability, lag, or anything like that. On that front, I cannot really say anything bad. The performance on this edition was good, and the graphics look good in 4K as well. Conclusion Finally, I can say I am so proud I never have to play this game again in my entire life because it is such an annoying game, and I hope the other titles are going to be much improved on.
completed the main story in 9 hours and can say it was worth every minute of it
Decoy görevi senden tüm kalbimle nefret ediyorum... VI çıkmadan oynayalım dedik pişman etti. Bu oyundan içtenlikle nefret ediyorum. Sırf oynadım diyebilmek için 14 saat kıymetli vaktimden harcadım, neyse ki artık oynadım diyebilirim
What a trashy R-star game, ruins childhood memories. Just port it over and call it the "Final Edition" - it's not even as good as the original. Don't recommend it at all
самое худшее во что мне удалось поиграть, доделали бы игру сначала, а то играется очень плохо. кусок бага с убогой физикой машин и стрельбой. 0/10, не советую к этому даже притрагиваться.
Классика, ностальгия и в приятной графике, балдеж
Mesmo com as "melhorias" o game é terrível, é um teste de paciência em forma de jogo.
dont waste your money buying definitive edition this has to be one of the biggest fails in gaming history. It feels like half of it was made by AI SAN ANDREAS has infinity amount of bugs if you play long enough or do all the different activites, GTA 3, im trying to finish a race and its impossible, npcs crash into you on every corner, gang members are shooting your vehicles and by the time you switch is already over its a mess i was excited to play these games again but it was not as fun as it should be bring back the original parts. But hey games stopped being about players a long time now devs dont care at all.
