Rockstars downfall from making great gta games to now scummy cash grabs is heartbreaking. It's good to see some members of the community calling them out for it.

Rockstar: Please don't threaten our staff
Also Rockstar: Threatens modders trying to fix their own game with lawsuits

Denise’ face is hilarious every time. Her face went from semi photo-realistic with highlights in the right places, to a freaky clay model

The funny thing is that not only does this video have more care and thought gone into it than the "definitive" edition, but every single one of this guy's videos probably took more time and effort than this abomination. It's depressing seeing how much the greatest video game developer ever has went down the road of EA :(

Seriously, removing cinematic mode was the icing on the shit cake for me. When I first played GTA3 as a kid it was my favorite feature. It made the game look like a movie, it was the coolest shit ever. Clearly it was a very important aspect of these games to Rockstar because it’s been included and improved upon in every GTA game since and even made more robust in RDR2. To have left that out of the definitive edition really is just a fat middle finger wearing a fools gold ring of laziness. This had to be the easiest feature possible to include

The problem isn't even about grove street games. The problem is rockstar turning into the company it parodied 7-15 years ago. They turned the most sold pc game and entertainment entity ever a cash cow. They gave up on the principles that made them different.

It breaks my heart to see Rockstar turn into another Corporate giant that ignores the bases it was founded on

"Wargaming doesn't insult gamers" is something that only someone who doesn't play their game would say.

I'm starting to think that all 4000 developers working for Rockstar are simply there to somehow make the Social Club Launcher work.

Rockstar has become the very monster of modern capitalism and consumerism that the series has been mocking for years...

[bannedbycommieyoutubetime]

The silly thing is, they could have done each game individually, taken their time, hired a better third party and charged $60 for each of the three games. Fans would have payed it for a good remake and been satisfied.

If mods are a necessary part of the game that is when it is done poorly. If mods are an optional thing to enhance the experience but the original experience can be played perfectly that is a game well done.

This game doesn't deserve a so well edited review like this

"Imagine releasing a New version, that is so bad, you have to rerelease the original Versions to minimize the Damage"
This is brillantly said xD

If this doesn't make Rockstar feel a little shame about their stance on the world, I don't know what will.
Even I feel ashamed for the community as part of the community.

[slyaspie]

They could've saved so much time, money, credibility and respect if instead of threatening and destroying the mods and modding community, they worked with and used their talent, everything that's been modernised has already been done better by modders. I hope this costs them for how they've been treating the community as a whole for so long

This is a company who had integrity, and really cared for what they put out. What happened? How depressing.

"You know who doesn't insult their customers with broken products? Wargaming"

Funniest joke of the century.

fun fact: in san andreas, if you drink enough soda cans, you can corrupt your save because the soda cans don't despawn and there's a hard limit to the amount of objects in the map
