    Like those reviews mean anything …

    They are filled with unfunny meme reviews, review bombs because they feature a gay person, or reviews from people who don’t understand how computers are supposed to work.

    I’ll form my own opinion, thank you very much.

    Do you have any idea how excited I was for the GTA trilogy remake? I’ve been waiting for so long. Only to be slapped in the face.

    The worst part is that I know rockstar will never attempt to remake them again. I’ll never get that San Andreas remaster.

      The issue is that Rockstar never remade GTA.

      They outsourced that work to Grove Street Games who had already done the mobile ports and said have at it. Grove Street Games took their mobile ports (which were already compromised) and adapted them back to console & PC with a new engine. I assume everything was done on the cheap and to a deadline and what they produced is what they produced. For Rockstar it wasn’t a labour of love, it was money for old rope and if they had given a damn they wouldn’t have outsourced it or at least had stricter quality controls & acceptance on what someone made for them.

      Rockstar made a slightly better job with their RDR port in that they didn’t completely fuck it up but it was still outsourced and a minimal effort.

    Most of the reviews are because of bad performance, but a friend told me FPS massivly increases on medium settings. They just defaulted to high for some reason

      Well yes the Performance gets better on Medium. But the problem with this game is that it’s not optimized at all. The devs basically admitted it even before launch.

      Edit: someone did a deep analysis on the games rendering system.
