What kind of problems did you have?
The controls (console) are fucking awful primarily, and cannot be changed to a more modern scheme. Scrolling thru weapons sucks, etc. Primarily gameplay is outdated on console on the originals. The graphics look better enough on the new one to satisfy me. I knew it wouldn't be like GTA 5, like people seemed to think, so I wasn't disappointed.

If you're using Steam, you can change the controls to a very in-depth degree via the built-in controller options. I'm sure there are tons of preconfigured settings that'll implement what you want.

What? It's the same game

I don't remember reading anyone anticipating that
 
Well at least Jack Thompson got his wish of seeing GTA banned in the form of it being unplayable. I wonder if he gave take to some sabotage money for them to "remaster" these old games so that way nobody would want to play on them ever again.

Explains why they took off the originals so it would make it impossible to purchase them in working order.
Jack Thompson got his wish in general, games are toned down as shit these days, long gone are the days of "murder simulators", no sexual content, no edgy humor, maybe some violence but it's still overall not like it was.

How old is she? She dresses like a teenager but looks like she's pushing 40 or in her 40s.

Also I'm not surprised, but why is Full Sail supposed to be bad?

I had a conversation with my coworkers about this over the weekend, and the sentiment I have about this comes from them, and people like them. Essentially, they each bought the remaster for $60 after I told them how they could emulate the original games for free, and lose literally nothing since the remastered versions look like ass anyway. Their reasoning was that purchasing the remaster was simpler than getting PCSX2 to work properly. They also told me about the array of technical issues that the remasters have and are hoping for bug fixes soon.

I just don't understand how people think like this and waste their money for products that are unequivocal garbage. People are so privileged, comfortable, and lazy that they'd rather pay $60 for a non-functional version of a product that was released going on two decades ago, when they could easily get the functional version for free. It's an utterly bizarre mindset and I don't know what's causing it to be so prevalent. This shit is why gaming is so bad, every game launch from Triple A is plagued with technical issues and microtransaction bullshit. The same people who complain about it go right around and buy products from companies they bitch about ad nauseum. I haven't bought a Triple A game at launch since Fallout 4, and if From Software fucks up Elden Ring and joins the shit Triple A club I doubt I'll ever do so again.
