Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Which rockstar game had a bad release?

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The GTA trilogy "definitive edition". Complete disaster lol. I haven't kept up to see if they've gotten better but it was really bad on release

[–] kem0rg@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

They didn’t fix it, it’s still bad and not worth it.

[–] JulyTheMonth@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Ah forgot about that one. Kind of ereased it from memory.

They just took a crappy 3rd-party mobile remaster and made it runnable on PC.

Oh no. They gave the task of remastering 3 big games running on old ass software full of hacked together code, within like 2-3 years, to a tiny studio of like 20 people that only ever made mobile games before. It was set up to fail. It's like asking your crackhead cousin to redo your bathroom and you come home to find he's ripped out all the copper pipes for beer money.

At least they've seen to have learned their lesson. The much smaller task of doing a basic port for RDR1 for Playstation and Switch was given to an actually decent sized development studio (Double Eleven). Lot of people got mad it wasn't a remaster or something, but it is a perfectly fine port and you get the full RDR1 experience on a Switch

Oh crap, that's even worse!
