Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[X Pac Heat]

That dude who did the Liberty City in GTA V video shows that the definitive edition graphics were already done.

They're going to have to do some really big gameplay changes and absolutely no soundtrack removal to make this even close to worth it for me. I guess I can understand why console kiddies would be so quick to consoom though I guess.

SAM was III's worst mission. As G-Spotlight was for Vice City and Wrong Side Of The Tracks was for San Andreas.

N.O.E. can fuck itself sideways. God did I hate that mission.

All of Zero's missions can go fly into a building. Wouldn't it be easier to just drive by the vans?

Alternate title: Why Are People Just Not Consooming?

The consoomer attitude is unreal. Morons. I wonder if Rich is excited for the next "Superhero Beats Villain" movie.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because it's being made by the same company that spit out that awful SA "remaster" from mobile to consoles? Or the character models look nothing like the originals?

It obviously isn't the fact that R*/T2 started taking down graphics mods in anticipation for this souped up remaster collection.

Yeah, why ARE people mad? Just shut up and buy it.

Maybe we should ask the expert MovieBob about that, depending on if he’ll devolve into making numerous Twitter threads on why saying superhero movies are tired and boring is code word for “fascism”.

Want to play the originals? Better hope you still have the native hardware and buy it secondhand.

Seriously, outright removing the originals from various storefronts for THIS is unacceptable. And companies wonder why people pirate and emulate games.

They couldn't even be bothered to optimize the trilogy for modern hardware. Mods did the heavy lifting. Cheap bastards.

"Why are people complaining!?"

Honestly, I don't know why I even take part in "gaming" anymore. Everyone is a fucking moron or shill. It's not just the fact they're "just remasters", it's the fact they removed the originals and forcibly took down mods for this.

Yeah, the games themselves look alright, but it wasn't worth what was lost.

GTA, a series about satirizing American culture, greed, capitalism, and crime flicks, has turned into its own mockery. A victim of its own "success" enabled by children and short sighted consumers.

Agreed (with the exception of the big showdown with Berkeley, that was actually quite fun), but the mission I was referring to was actually a Mike Toreno mission (the one where you have to make a long flight to Angel Pine and back while staying close to the ground, not easy to do when you're flying past forests and mountains). At least Zero's missions were optional, this one was required.

Oh, NOW I remember!

 

[The Valeyard]

EB Games Australia lists the rating for the collection as R18 for "Sexual activity related to incentives and rewards"


I assume that this is referring to the ability to pick up prostitutes for a health bonus, which was disabled in the original versions to accommodate an MA15 rating.

 

[The Last Stand]

San Andreas could not handle flying. Either because of the engine or the hardware. I believe GTA should have never incorporated flying.

N.O.E. can fuck itself sideways. God did I hate that mission.

It's not too bad if you can get over the sea and hug the coastline.

Reminds me of Dark Souls: Remastered. Bandai decided to soup up the graphics of DS1, then removed the original Prepare to Die edition and we're left with a gimped version of it with worse graphical fidelity and lack of QoL changes. It also murdered the online PVP playerbase and made lagstabbing more prevalent.

Oh, NOW I remember!

I love it when my Hydra suddenly dies because some random building is LS didn't load. Bullshit but it was hilarious.

I saw some fuckheads saying that people had plenty of time to buy the originals, which is a really stupid and shortsighted way at looking at things. That's not the issue. The issue is that they're removing the original releases in favor of a remaster, effectively erasing the original releases and barring anyone who was curious from getting them on PC. Not to mention, those original releases were cheaper than the $60 price tag they're slapping on this one, so if you want to play the classic 3D games you gotta pony up more cash. It's disgusting that people defend decisions that actively harm consumers.

"Why are people upset that this product they're paying money for looks like shit?!?!"

It's also NOT a remaster, it's a remake. A remaster is taking the original game and REMASTERING the art with the original code (Halo Master Chief Collection). This is a REMAKE because they're REMAKING it in a new engine (Unreal Engine). Even still, Rockstar is a multi billion dollar company, there's no reason for the game to look bad.

All of Zero's missions can go fly into a building. Wouldn't it be easier to just drive by the vans?

I'd just land the RC plane next to the truck, and drive it along the ground like a car while shooting.

What would be the difference between a port and a remaster? The Xbox versions were ports with updated textures.

It'd have to be a significant visual upgrade.
