Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Definitive Edition is a good way to (re)discover three legendary titles of the PS2 era. They’re the same and yet very different in terms of visuals. But it’s not really 100% good and even on PS5, it struggles to deliver a totally smooth experience. Not to mention that they feel a bit old if you talk about gameplay. Still effective, but be prepared.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive …
I remember creating a thread about GTA Definitive Editions not getting released on Steam. People supported it, but a bunch of people also took the “launchers doesn’t matter route”. Now it seems like the launcher is offline due to this messed up launch, and apparently their launcher doesn’t support offline mode or a decent refund system. But hey, launchers don’t matter. Meanwhile pirates can access their games, while we can’t enjoy decades old games we paid money for.
I understand putting out like 10 versions of Skyrim. It sells. And I understand why there is just the release of GTAV because it makes money on the online service. That’s fair in a business POV even if it sucks for people that want a new game.
BUT! What Rockstar has pulled off is absolutely insane. I bought the new edition of the trilogy as a gift for my dad, and for me to enjoy going back on. They locked me out for 24hrs, and then just pulled it from my records? I paid $60 fucking bucks for this and this is what I get to have?? It disappeared from my games that I own, but my money is still hanging out in their bank account.
I’ll never buy another Rockstar game again. This is not a matter of “oh no, I don’t like the graphics!!!1!” They stole money from me and it’s absolutely wrong. Fuck Rockstar, do not ever buy any game they put out ever again.
They reached a new level of assholery, people cant play any rockstar game because they decided to just shut their whole forced drm launcher down, because they couldnt be bothered to quality control their new release. If this is the future of pc gaming whenever a company fucks up, im out.
Edit; launcher back up, point still stands
Double edit; rockstar just tweeted out that the unlicensed music and dev notes included in the defenitive trilogy where definitively the reason why you couldnt play any rockstar game for the past days..
Thanks for all the rewards, but im just stating the obvious.
See you around mateys arrhhh
Launched last Friday on Steam / Epic and has sold 32k copies, but only 1% of those were on Epic, leaving 99% on Steam. Mike Rose from the pub studio also talked about more sales data on Twitter and even suggested that it might not even be worth maintaining non-steam versions of games with such low sales.
I suppose this is an example of what a sales split between platforms could look like without an exclusivity deal in place.
Well as some of you might be in the same boat as me and have purchased GTA:TDE for the PC and are unable to download and play. Rockstar doesn’t provide a way to refund without the launcher but if you like me have purchased it with a Credit Card you can charge Back/Reverse the charges. We have paid for something that was supposed to have been “delivered” on November 11th at 7am PST it is now more then 24 hours past the delivery date. If you call your Credit Card company and explain to them that you wish to reverse the charges as you have not received the product you paid for and the vendor is not offering you another way to refund the charges. some credit cards will offer charge back support through their websites and maybe a faster route then calling the credit card company. i would suggest to anyone who has paid GTA:TDE through a credit card and wish to get a refund to contact their Credit Card company and reverse the charges.
Some Resources/How To’s: …
Firstly I have to say, I find the gameplay itself a little underwhelming. But the campaign? Man what a breath of fresh air.
The campaign gameplay itself is quite generic (so far 1.5 campaigns in) but the sheer amount of effort they’ve gone to for the historical aspect is nuts!
Before each mission is a sizeable recorded video utilising current day footage with much of it placing animated units over the top to show how it might have appeared back then.
Each of these is superbly shot and of the very highest quality.
After missions you can unlock further videos, teaching things such as how crossbows were made and used, chain armour, castle building and more.
These are honestly worth the price of admission alone. They’re entertaining, consistently high quality and add serous context to each mission (which IMO elevates the experience).
As a fan of history, I love this addition to them game. Kudos!
