  • If I wanted to play GTA, and I could get the "Definitive Edition" for free... I'd pirate the old PC versions and use some fan-made mods instead, because that was a disaster of a remaster.

  • Not gonna lie when I first read the headline, I thought "oh look they're making a GTA series for shit-flix", but nah they are just releasing the defective editions. I was lucky enough to buy the original versions on steam before they got taken down, they work great with just a few community patches. Shame about what the definitive edition could have been...
