San Andreas Definitive Edition Complaints & Criticisms Topic

Now this is a bug I can get behind lmao, samurai sword on a bike, I was disappointed I couldn't actually use it from the bike though, ngl, looks pretty cool

I like how we can see all these awesome skylines that Rockstar has created back in the day.

el problema de la trilogía aparte del rendimiento
es la falsa esperanza de la gente que esperaban un remake cuando desde la filtración de kotaku afirmaron que era un remaster
y la gente o youtubers clickbaters informaron erróneamente que tommy podía nadar que si cj podía subir las escaleras que si agregó contenido nuevo
Entonces la culpa no es ni de R ni de Grove Street
, son las personas mismas

Ya sabía que era el mismo juego pero en otro motor gráfico y para mí lo veo como aceptable
rockstar prometió lo que prometió
 

Ahora que tienen resentimiento con los modders,I do not care 

es
aún más completo 2021
y no conocen la diferencia entre remake y remaster

About the draw distance.
It is not just the fog itself. There is something called "Aerial perspective" or "Atmospheric perspective". When we look to the horizon, we don't see everything perfect because of the particles in our atmosphere. They just removed everything and looks unnatural.

My main complaints around what some members have already pointed out are the decisions behind pricing and not selling the titles separately. I don't see a point behind the price tag if there's inconsistency among the three titles. I would rather see them sell each title separately.

Perhaps the titles will be sell separately on Steam.

Yo it looks like CJ's about to land on a new cloud city on Bespin (from Star Wars for those of you who wonder) with a freaking hydra, I'm dead

I wish I had some real first hand experience to review from. 

But my Definitive Edition experience went like this:

 

The game was available at 3pm GMT(UK) I'm a PC player, so no preload. So I downloaded it which didn't take long at all in honesty, I went through all the settings and selected my graphical preferences, I was playing the very first mission, the game crashed on the way back to Grove Street, I rebooted, all my graphical preferences had reset themselves, so I had to do them all again, I got back in to the game and finished the first mission, this took me to around the 16:30pm mark and I had to leave to go out (went to see Ricky Gervais's "Supernature" at the London Palladium, was excellent) When I got home the R* games launcher was down, it stayed down all of Friday, and when it came back the Definitive Editions I'd paid for had been taken down. So to sum up, not my favourite experience.

 

It seems like one of them situations that will be snake bitten for me now. The entire thing has been a huge cluster f*ck and really killed my hype. 

Also, the way R* handled it and their communication with their customers is nothing short of appalling. I'm not one of these who takes to Twitter and rages at them with comments like "OmG ThIs ShOuLd Be FreE noW" But some form of genuine apology would have been a nice touch, not an automated Tweet explaining nothing.

 

This is a quote from the movie Fight Club: "On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." 

I'm not saying R* are dead and buried, but what I am saying is they are starting to hand out shovels to the very people who matter most, their customers.

Was super busy at work this past week and had plenty to catch up on.
I just found out a few hours ago that the games were cracked in the first few hours after release because of some R* F* up...

also that you couldn't buy them for PC and people were left with the only option to pirate the games.

Today's life lesson comes from R*:

Mods are detrimental to your business yet giving your game away to scene groups isn't !

I watch and learn.

Thanks Rockstar for the free games! I also need a free new keyboard now as the vomit ain't scrubbing off that easy.

The Metacritic reviews are way higher than I ever expected them to be at 0.7/10 with 40 positive and only 900 negative reviews.
Who knew there's 40 mods on GTAF.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the brilliant rain effects!
Just hours after the release the modding community already had fixes for a lot of the "shortcomings" of these "Definitive" editions... The irony!
So... anyone who didn't want to mod the original games and rather waited for the official remake now NEEDS to mod the games in order to not get seizures.

No, you still can't buy them. I mean, there is no legal access to these games on PC which is... umm.

[Cutter De Blanc]

Rockstars newest release gets a f*cking 0.5 out of 10

 

You love to see it 

 

Its not THAT bad, but the schadenfreude is nice

Everytime I saw those draw distances mods I called them unreliastic trash, when they change draw distance 10 times in DE everybody now calling them how unrealistic is it   so do you want them by downloading fan mods but hate it when publishers do that for you

I feel like this, along with all the source files with dev notes being released, is karma for Rockstar's lazy ass outsourcing this project lol.

There can never be enough karma for going after and even suing some of your most devoted fans who are the only reason your legacy lives on to this day.

[Peteryeeter]

would be really cool if gsg and rockstar shut the f*ck up, bunkered down and worked on fixing the game. They should prioritize the visual issues first in my opinion because thats the most jacked up parts of the games.

Actually there are exactly 5 left who fit this bill (and a lot more AA indie level devs not mentioned here)

 

1. Obsidian - Founding Fathers of the Fallout franchise (made Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas)

2. Hello Games - NMS. No need to laud their accomplishment as the accomplishments to date of this TWENTY SIX man dev speak for themselves.  Especially given how HG redeemed themselves with their insane comeback from Oblivion. Given the historically unforgettable  #EpicFail that was the 2016 NMS launch.

3. White Horse Studios - KCD. Yes, shortly after launch KCD suicidaly swan dived to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Faster than a chicken with the Titanic tied to its leg. But WHS redemption story has largely gone unsung in the mass media. The majority of all the chronic game breaking game play/graphics issues have been since addressed and fixed. And WHS STAYED ON SCHEDULE to release ALL of its promised DLC while doing this.

4. Giant Games - Farming Simulator franchise. Have yet to see any excessive trolling/#CancelCulturing etc etc. against this dev. Virtually all of their games released in this franchise to date have been overwhelmingly positive on PC and console end. And with Farming Sim 22 (out next week) THERE WILL BE CoOp CROSS PLAY ON ALL PLATFORMS. That one game breaking feature alone is a motherlode.

5. Hanger 13 - Mafia 1 Definitive Edition. Easily the most under sung underdog in the industry to date. The remaster of this game remained true to the classic but in a modern engine. Every mission (including the insane level of difficulty they had over a decade ago) was recreated with extreme attention to detail.  

 

For every one of the devs listed above, its all about ACCOUNTABILITY. And a sense of RESPONSIBILITY to their fan bases. Two characteristics which are largely non existent in the AAA dev/pub gaming sector to date....

Wouldn't have Hangar 13 as bad ones due to Mafia 1 DE but certainly not as saints either, Mafia 3 was basically a few excellent story missions sandwiched between the exact same repetitive sequence of gameplay 16 times over and the re-release of Mafia 2 had several bugs in it that were never there 10 years ago.

I do agree passion has gone in the industry though, and I hate to sound elitist here but that's what happens when enough casuals get involved in anything, gaming's grown so much now that the majority of potential customers for any company are people who have little more than a passing interest in games and certainly have little to no standards/expectations, us gamers that will discuss games on places like this, analyse what we're doing and going to do in a game, read up on lore + secrets + easter eggs and generally try and see every possible layer of a game are in the minority now.

It's just a shame so many companies are happy to exploit the fact that they can half arse a game nowadays without it noticeably affecting sales, any big company now knows they can hide behind the 'patches will be coming' excuse for being careless and lazy then have idiots defend + applaud them when they fix stuff that should never have been wrong in the first place.

Even by today's standards though this trilogy is pushing the boat out, I said in the C + C's thread before it was closed that I don't even think the notorious sh*tstains like EA and Activision would have allowed it to be this poor + disrespectful.

Everyone at Rockstar has clearly forgot this trilogy as good as made their company, I know they were there before GTA 3 and superb games like Manhunt + Midnight Club existed around the same time as the 3 games of course but these 3 games are responsible for everything their company has been able to do for the past 15+ years + 3 generations of consoles, to happily treat them like this shows an unbelievable level of arrogance and sheer ungratefulness towards their own success + loyal fanbase.

some people here should complain on "GOAT SIMULATOR" PC-game : it's bugg'ed SO IT's Fun!

Madd Dogg rhyes mission stealth is almost impossible. You can do it ut not the trophy.

Seriously. I have tried this for several hours now and no chance.

Is there a thread that details new patches and fixes?

Edited November 14, 2021 by rooroo88

[Predoquinh4]

I'm not even in the mood to play this version by "alternative ways" if you know what I'm saying.

 

How did they messed up everything AGAIN? And it looks even worse than the mobile port.

Ok, so I am not a complainer. In fact I am just happy that they have made a modernized retrofitted version of the greatest game ever… and I believe that this game (and it’s bugs) will be worked out in time through patches…

 

but… this one genuinely  me off. I hope you can still do the everything proof Infernus though. But I’m losing hope already :(

I'm gonna point out though that a majority of the team that made Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas aren't at Obsidian anymore. Not saying they still couldn't put out some awesome games but the Black Isle guys that formed a piece of it are mostly gone.

[Doggy_LS]

The most effective 10 seconds when explaining this game to people.

 

 

The expression of rain is horrifying, and there is a corpse of CJ who will remain forever in the future in the paint shop, and there is CJ who keeps burying in the ground.

Doubt it. They removed the original trilogy from Steam for a reason. They want to sell all their sh*t through their own Launcher exclusively.

[Jonumb1]

I'm really upset, San Andreas means so much to so many people, and so many people bought this game full price with love in there hearts,

 

only too find out they are taking part in a humiliation ritual, it's really that bad ! I'm convinced they did this on purpose !

 

And you got people saying it looks good ? Bro it looks like an apple covered in that shiny sh*t they put on it at the fare !  It hurts my eyes too look at it on YouTube !

 

Not too mention the apple gloss exposes how ancient the gameplay is ! You don't notice it nearly as much on traditional versions because it suits the vibe of the game !

Approximately 78% of the textures in one directory => Gameface/Content/SanAndreas/Textures/gta3/Misc , have been lazily upscaled or half-remade. Shame.
