@SuperDicq why definite edition bad?
@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com They ruined the games completely. Everything has a stupid plastic Unreal Engine filter on it. They also removed many songs that were iconic in the originals.
Introduced many new bugs. And yes it is literally based on the mobile port. It plays like garbage because of input issues too.
The original game as a PS2 game, which was ported to PC with the keyboard emulated a PS2 controller which was already a bit janky, then they ported that version to mobile so they added touch controls and then they ported that mobile version back to PC as the "definitive edition" where they keyboard emulates touch controls which emulates a keyboard which emulated a PS2 controller...
@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com Also they upscaled all the textures and models using AI which causes many horrors and the stupid Unreal Engine filter completely disrespects the original game's artstyle.
It is also very clear that they only playtested like the first two hours of the game and the further you get into the story the worse it gets.
@SuperDicq It was also possible to 100% the game in six minutes due to a scripting bug not present in the original.

@thatbrickster@cawfee.club @kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com Not true. You can any% the game in about 15 minutes (it requires some setup), you can't 100% it like that.
But recently an arbitrary script execution glitch has been found in the original PC game port as well. Allowing you any% the game in about 40 minutes, it requires a lot more complicated setup than Definitive Edition.
But those are just insanely crazy speedrunner tricks that do not impact a casual enjoyer of the game. In general the original version is much more stable and much lower on the average bugs encountered during gameplay than Definitive.
@SuperDicq I am talking about Definitive Edition, not original. Perhaps it was patched out, speedrunners have done it faster since then.

@thatbrickster@cawfee.club @kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com That's not Definitive Edition. That's Remastered.
That version is even worse than Definitive, but nobody has ever played it because it was exclusive to the Windows Store. So people just pretend it doesn't exist.
@thatbrickster@cawfee.club @kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com I have Pannenkoek2012 levels of knowledge about GTA Sanandreas.
Literally played this game since release, probably completed it hundreds of times. Know every line of dialogue by heart. Spend years modding the game as well. I still come back to it sometimes.
Maybe I should stream a GTA SA playtrough at some point?

1@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com @thatbrickster@cawfee.club I already make enough YouTube slop at the moment. Definitely don't want to do video game essays, that segment is already very saturated.
