About this Game:
  • Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and Luis Lopez all have one thing in common – they live in the worst city in America. Liberty City worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.
  • Niko is looking to escape his past and make a new life for himself in the land of opportunity. Johnny, a veteran member of The Lost biker gang, is caught in the middle of a vicious turf war with rival gangs for control of the city. Luis, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (a.k.a. "Gay Tony"), is struggling with the competing loyalties of family and friends in a world in which everyone has a price.
  • Their lives cross paths with devastating consequences as they fight to survive in a city torn apart by violence and corruption.
  • The Complete Edition includes:
    • Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes – The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony.

No longer uses the gfwl service, does require a rockstar games account.

Game must be locked to 60fps to avoid physics glitches

Multiplayer was removed at some point during GTA 5's lifespan

Game is still a lot of fun and can be more immersive than gta 5 imo.

Dumb question— how is this able to be ported to PC, but PS5 is a huge task?

The PlayStation version was made for the PS3 Cell processor. It's an entire thing that's too much to explain properly here. Look up "PS3 Cell processor porting issues" and you'll see why.

I got that— but why can't they port the PC version to the PS5?

PC's don't have cell architecture.

Again, pardon my ignorance.

Rockstar doesn't like to hire more than 3 people for ports of their older games, did you see what happened with the GTA 3, VC and SA collection?

Quote from drl136us :
Yes. Easily the strongest story of the set. Niko has more character development than a lot of the other protagonists. Some will argue Tommy Vercetti or Carl Johnson are better, but Niko has the most well-rounded personality. Even Michael De Santa with all we see of his family and personal life and the therapy sessions doesn't develop as three-dimensionally as Niko.

Cool I'll give it a shot. There wasn't much of a story to GTA 3 was there? Was so long ago, but I loved that game.

I only really know the GTA5 characters. Trevor is a hoot lol

I think I'd eventually like to go back and play Vice City and San Andreas. I probably have them on PS2 in a box somewhere.

For $6, it's three classics that we played from back in the day.

Fair enough. I bought it. GTA 3 was one of my favorite games back then. I wish I had finished the other 2. GTA 6 motivated me to grab 5 recently. I think I eventually want to get caught up on all of them. I don't think I ever played 4.

My thoughts on this is that it's a massive game, and has aged a bit. If they re-release as is, it'll be panned as a bad re-release, but potential sales probably aren't viable for a the cost of a full remaster. Even the GTA HD remaster was created with ai texture remastering.

I beat GTA 3 back when it first released. I played a little of the sequels: San Andreas, Vice City, etc. but never finished them.

Just recently beat GTA 5. Should I jump into this?

Just be aware the car handling is god awful. Maybe my input method sucked, and of course I was awful skill wise. But it played more like Mafia level car handling than anything like GTA 5. It may frustrate the hell out of you. Def why I quit playing it.

Lol, I forgot about that, this is the one where when your cell phone rings in the car the radio makes a buzz buzz buzz as your phone rings. So accurate for that time.

One of my favorite things from this game was the tv shows and in particular "the men's room" with Bas Rutten. XD
