BRING BACK THE OLD ORIGINAL TRILOGY!

[kotoscop]

The developers failed, and greatly disgraced themselves with the addition of a new definitive edition and the removal of the old original trilogy from steam!

The original trilogy is available on R* store, and if you had it here previously, you still have it.

But, their trilogy in steam was the best. By replacing the new trilogy with the old one, they ruined their reputation, which they cherished. The reviews in the steam speak for themselves.

GTA SA DE overall reviews are "mostly positive" though.

Anyone still paying attention to reviews instead of forming their own opinions deserves the experiences they get in games.

Ever since GamerGate there's a dedicated group of "anti-woke" people who review-bomb things they perceive as problematic. Reviews are also not removed/changed when a game patches or updates, so some problems in a game are corrected for years yet a review is still a "top" one.

Honestly... it isn't the "true" way to experience the game, and neither is it my favorite either, but that being said, I owned this since release and they put a whole lot more polish into it than it had initially. That and as much as I prefer the original version, graphically it does look nicer and runs at a higher framerate without issues, and in general, it's 10 times easier to setup too, you don't have to go through downgrading and installing a bunch of mods that may break the game, this one you just download and it works every time. Am I saying it's good? No, I'm saying it's convenient. I do wholeheartedly agree they should've left the original up too, but honestly, anyone looking for the original PC port either owns it already or have other means of getting it without even illegally downloading it (IE, the original disc).

I vaguely remember playing the 3 original games re-released on ps3 or 4 with trophies.
That is what I wish we had instead of this remake, original games with achievements support.

lets be honest, steam reviews for the most part are a pile of CRAP. Not useful at all. most reviews are just MEMES.

Everybody that played the OG games knows how big of a mess this trilogy is, even rockstar said sorry.

No, steam reviews are quite fair if there are lots of reviews and not like 5. On the contrary common hate usually results in review bombing and downs ratings but not raises them.

I remember lots of hate in forums of Half-Life: Alyx for it being VR-only but reviews were overwhelmingly positive because those who bought and played it rated it high. Dosen of haters can create overall bad impression while thousands of people actually playing are more fair.

review bombing is a an excuse for bad games or practices by awful company decisions. Like you could have a decent game, then ruin it by adding in a patch later like microtransactions that effect gameplay.

But its perfectly ok for a game to get a flood of positive reviews all the sudden, nobody says nout about it. Even if most of those reviews are jokes or memes.

You can call it excuse but review bombing is a real thing when games get sudden burst of negative reviews. I'm not talking about if it's right or wrong but the fact it happens. The reverse thing "positive review bombing" doesn't happen. Unless you believe Valve manually adjusts ratings.

Is the other way around: if you ignore all reviews about any product you consume, only you are to blame for relying in blind faith when the possibility to compare and make a better judgement existed.

true, but most review bombs are "positive review bombs" to support products that dont deserve it, by people who actually care little or anything about those games. that usually creates a bubble of deceptive publicity, which can actually help a bit to increase sales from misguided and deceived users that didnt cared to read enough and compare arguments and perspectives.

this issue is also common in other online stores like amazon, so it would be wise if you can learn to read more, rather than less, specially when you are considering using your money in something new.

more often than not, negative reviews do change to positive ones if the issues that lead to them become solved or officially addressed. that obv takes time. also, when it becomes known devs did fixed the issue that lead to "honest negative reviews", often positive ones confirm it and the game increases sales (ie no mans sky).

smart people read more, and judge after learning the facts, not before. be smarter.
