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

[Vault Boy]

All I know is that I feel vindicated that I purchased the PS2 Classics version for PS5 back in August.

Uh, there's no way Rockstar can cut off my access to playing them, right?

No, I don't believe so. That's yours as long as you have access to your license on your account.

Don't give them ideas!

Technically not true. Konami showed the world that they can have Sony completely block a user from downloading content users have a license for.

One can hope they'll be merciful enough to not completely scrub them from accounts.

I downloaded San Andreas on GamePass before the game launched (I didn't pay Rockstar a single cent, this would've been me taking advantage of the service, sue me), and I've yet to start it. At first it was because I felt it was too soon since I finished the PS2 Classic version in September, but now knowing how buggy it is and seeing some of the character models...

I hope WarDrum/GSS and Rockstar's studios gets flooded by a faulty fire alarm sprinkler and their hard drives get drenched beyond repair. Watching the video of the rain gave me a migraine. Not even worth getting a cracked free version until they fix the ugly and headache inducing visuals.

Some of the poor fools who bought it already on PC are finding it's been removed from their library without their permission, even if the launcher isn't acting janky. As if their source code hasn't already been leaked and disabled hot coffee features weren't enough to learn from.

Good thing I have the OG XBox versions somewhere...

AFAIK, GTA V's PC launch was great.

Yes, because they had Popdog studios/R* Vancouver handle the port after the praise they got for Max Payne 3 on PC.
And yet it's North who think of themselves as the best, despite San Diego, Leeds, and Vancouver all proving North to be nothing but all talk and no walk since 2009.

R* saying "every studio comes together to make our games now" is seemingly less the fact that their games have gotten too big/ambitious and moreso that North has become overriden with nepotistic hires and morons who need to be tard wrangled and bailed out by their sister studios.

I've got it on PC, PS2, and Xbox physical. Fuck you Rockstar.

But do you have an OG Xbox to play them? III & VC never became backwards compatible on Xbox 360 or Xbox One, and Rockstar changed San Andreas to download the butchered 360 "remaster" (is the "Definitive" Edition based on that version?) if you put the OG Xbox disc in either console.

They are BC on Xbox 360, but not Xbox One.

I bought that version when it came out for $5. Still a shitty port.

Nice. You have a good forgotten console.
Did you have any unique titles, like Project Gotham Racing or Halo?

The only GTA VI that is gonna be worth getting is if someone else comes out with a spiritual successor and then you gotta pray it is not gonna be a Mighty No. 9.

I actually have a PS2, still have games like Black, CoD3, Urban Chaos, MGS3 (I admit I was a dumbass kid that got turned off by the controls and died drowning in mud back in the day), and of course, GTA:SA.

Now the question(s) is: is there a mod for PC that restores the cut features from the PS2 version? (i.e moving tv screens in the Dragon's Casino cutscenes or orange Californian blur) and how do you repair an old console like the PS2?

Black, PGR2. Technically, I don't like Halo.

 

[Unattended Baby]

It really sucks that GTAVI couldn't have released before they all bailed, it just feels wrong because we got 3 GTAs during the PS2 era, but never got a third one to round out an HD era trilogy.



I don't think they'll bother with a single player storyline either, all the creative talent on that front is gone.

I have an even worse thought, the entire storyline and side content will be there, but you'll have to do it all in free roam. Some missions require other players and you can get griefed during missions too.

SkyGFX should ideally give you the Orange atmosphere you're craving

Following up on my previous Pajeet post....

Gee....I wonder why.

 

[Asdfgunman81]

They had one job to remaster their own games, and yet they fucked up in a way that is inexcusable that its a laughing stock. I'm not holding my breathe on this getting patched up.

At this point, R* and GTA are the same as Bethesda and TES. Both have been stuck on the fifth entry for God knows how long, and the 6th is practically nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, we either get re-releases of the latest game or crap like this "definitive" edition
