They haven’t done enough to bring it up
To
Date - the gun play was always wank - there’s a
Mission early on in SA which is essentially a drive by shoot out tutorial but if you drive slow enough to shoot them they almost annihilate your cars health and of course you have to do it three times so essentially the same as the original games your best bet is to
Run over as many people as you can before engaging in gunplay

I still have Bushido Blade in a box somewhere.  Best tactic was to leave it in the box in the attic for the rest of time .

Fixed

Note the originals aren't going back on Steam.

And so About five hours into SA (I'd forgotten just how fucking slow the opening is ) and we get to the real meat of why it's aged so badly.

Three mission markers. One Can't be accessed until a certain time, Fair enough but there's no way of knowing until you get there. One needs a low rider car which is also fine but again no way of knowing until you get there.. so onto mission three.

Watch cut scene. Get on bike with AI chase other dude on bike. Absolutely no feed back from the shooting that there's anything going on.. I he taking damage? Don't know. Chase goes on for ever and the route is really bad, numerous thin lanes and right angle turns.. everything your bike touches makes it spin out of control AI guy falls off.. gotta get back on get him back on find the AI again.. it's fairly forgiving as the AI seems to stop quite often. Anyway eventually that ends with a shoot out. Do that. Can't get a car to stop to make my get away police turn up I get shot and killed and find there's no post chase checkpoint and I've got to do it all again.

It's just not much fun and I doubt I'll bother any further.

There is too much better stuff to play right now to bother with that crap.

So glad it came to Game Pass so I didn't spend money on it. Fixing the bugs will not make it a game worth my time.

Can't remember which GTA I played. Might have been Vice City. I gave up at a bit where I was getting attacked by a group of cooks with cleavers. I just wasn't having fun but it was never going to be my thing. Thought it was worth giving it a go. Driving around was enjoyable but the shine came off it very quick.

I appreciate the games for what they are. They just aren't my thing. That remaster looks like a bit of a mess though - saw a video demoing how bad the new rain effect was implemented.

I was in the final stages of working on The Italian Job for PSOne when GTA III came out.  I was very proud of our game, but when i saw GTA III I felt like our game was a dinosaur already, before it was even released.

Actually it hasn't.

Surely only moot could be this wrong.

Biggest grossing media product ever probably has some appeal tbh.

Certainly does look like a GTA.

Will be interesting to see if they take the detail of RDR2 into this. The detail of the world really suited the quiet of that game, not sure it will the constant noise of a GTA.

Insane that this guy is basically holding R* to ransom if the "we're negotiatng a deal" is legit. Considering the online monetisation they'll have in mind, you can bet they're terrified of more source code getting out
