Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Ah ♥♥♥♥, here we go again. Rockstar Games removed this version from Steam, only to replace it with a steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥ known as the "Definitive" Edition. More like Defective edition. What a joke. I'm lucky to have bought this years back before the eventual purge, nothing beats the atmosphere of the OG San Andreas, from the ambience of the fog and sunsets, to the graphics. Yeah they're old compared to today's graphics but they mesh well with the environment. The new game looks uncanny with their updated models, combined with outdated textures it makes for a disorienting experience, and I play games like DOOM and Star Wars so the fact that all the flashing lights in those games don't disturb me, but the defective edition does just speaks for itself. Do yourself a favour and skip the "upgraded" edition entirely, trust me. Graphics aren't what make a game special, it's the content that matters. The characters, storyline and gameplay, and this game will always hold a place in my heart for being one of the best in the GTA series, as well as IV. Honestly even Vice City is good but I rank these two higher. But that's just personal preference, anyway if you did make it to the end of my comment, I would like to personally congratulate you on not falling asleep throughout the duration of reading my review. Well done!

Classic, I wish i got to experience this on a CRT during the time the original XBOX was still the current gen console. Overall, a shame this was delisted for the new "enhanced" edition, i've tried it and it just doesnt compare to the original.
