Abysmal Reviews of GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition; PC Version Finally Available

The PC version of GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is finally available to download, install and run. Maybe this will contribute to improving the game's average rating, which reaches only 0.5 out of 10.

GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition had a terrible launch. Especially the PC version, which was pulled from sale for over 80 hours. Criticism did not omit editions for other platforms as well.

Gamers complaining about poor character models and significantly worsening visibility, among other things, have shredded Rockstar's game - as I write these words, the average score from over 2700 users on Metacritic is 0.5/10.

One would like to recall the words of Strauss Zelnick, CEO of GTA's publisher Take-Two Interactive, who in February this year referred (probably) to the unsuccessful launch of Cyberpunk 2077, saying that CD Projekt RED's game did not meet the requirements set by the developers. He also pointed out that in his opinion:

"(...) you're always better served to wait for perfection if you can create perfection. And all of our labels are seeking perfection. And we don't always succeed, sometimes we fall short. But that's the goal.

(...) it's great that Rockstar Games continues to put out add-on content and additional content for GTA Online and Red Dead Online. But they've put out material that they really believe in that they're passionate about and that is of the highest possible quality. And that means we're not on a weekly cadence and we're not be in that means we don't necessarily know the xecat release date. But what we do know is that we will wait for it to be as close to perfect as anything can be."

"The pot and the kettle black", am I right? Fortunately for Rockstar the PC version of GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is currently being distributed exclusively through the company's launcher, so currently it returned to sale. As we learned yesterday, data files of the remastered games contained, among other things, the code for Hot Coffee, the (in)famous minigame from San Andreas, which enabled us to control CJ during sexual intercourse, creators' notes or missing songs that were only blocked by a script. If there's any of that left in the game, dataminers will certainly point it out to Rockstar.
