GTA Trilogy: Things to Look For Before Buying

Appearance GTA Trilogy marked the outbreak of the remaster "fever" which also hit Rockstar as a developer.

It is undeniable, their Grand Theft Auto franchise is already so legendary that it is considered worthy of getting the definitive edition.

Of course, all this is inseparable from the reputation that has been built so far through their three big titles: GTA III (2001), GTA: Vice City (2002), and the most successful, GTA: San Andreas (2004).

Unmitigated, Rockstar simultaneously remastered the three titles and bundled them into one.

This is good news for gamers, especially those who have been actively playing in the early 2000s. This bundling gives them a chance to reminisce: reminiscent of the days when PlayStation 1 and 2 rentals were still the entertainment trend in Indonesia.

It turns out that the developer also understands that this sentimental aspect can generate profit. Because of that, in the end they "blindly" tried to bring this edition back on various platforms.

Now, you can play it in digital download from anywhere, be it PC (Windows), mobile (iOS and Android), PlayStation (4 and 5), Xbox (One, Series S & X), to Nintendo Switch.

Before Deciding to Purchase

As explained above, GTA Trilogy contains a compilation of three GTA series titles that have been remastered.

This means that by buying only one, you can get all three at once.

Not only that, Rockstar also provides improvements in terms of graphics, controls, character models, and some minor additions to in-game content.

However, VCGamers News also warns that, along with this increase, there are also things that need attention, including:

Cheats

GTA is so legendary because the existence of cheats is designed as a crucial aspect and can affect gameplay. GTA without cheats, like taking a shower without using soap.

Unfortunately, in this edition, especially San Andreas, there are some missing legendary cheats. Not a few of which are fun cheats, such as: Jetpack, flying and transparent cars, eternal blood, changing the npc theme around, and many more.

Quoted from the page gamerant.com, this happens due to an incompatibility between the engine used in GTA Trilogy and the various cheats.

Songs on the Radio

Imagine the last time you did the Snail Trail mission in GTA: San Andreas. The mission when you have to follow a reporter who is traveling by train with only Sanchez's "trail" motorbike.

Of course, as long as you control CJ moving on the rails, the songs on the radio will also sing along with your journey to the last stop at Market Station, Los Santos.

Songs on the radio have become an important part in accompanying the nostalgia of the missions carried out. But unfortunately, there are several songs that are omitted in this bundling edition.

For example, Michael Jackson's Billie Jean that can be found in GTA: Vice City is no longer possible to include in this edition. Whereas in GTA San Andreas, one of the hits from K-DST radio: Joe Cocker – Woman to Woman, also suffered the same fate.

It was stated that the removal of these songs was mostly due to licensing and royalty issues, either due to expiration or various other technical matters of the recording studio.

Lots of Bugs

At the time of its release in November 2021 itself, GTA Trilogy experienced many problems. Particularly for the Windows platform, its launch has even been delayed.

Existing reports state that this is happening because there is some data that should no longer be available.

However, due to a miscommunication that occurred within the internal developer, the data was already pinned and had to be pulled back in the last seconds of the launch.

Rockstar itself finally apologized for the technical problems. As of the February 2022 update, more than 100 bugs have been fixed.

Some of the points above are just a few things that become obstacles related to the definitive edition. Naturally, the reception he got became so bad.
