I wasn't able to play the original as a kid but I'm really enjoying my time with these games. The story and game play is wonderful. Unfortunately, I am a little upset that they release these games with so many bugs. I've had a lot of issues with visibility during rain, running into invisible walls, pink squares in alleyways, and character models glitching. Honestly it's really disappointing since I've heard there's so many modders who have already made these games looking much better than what this company has done. Also rock star is going after modders who moded the old versions of these games. In my opinion this is much worse than the cyberpunk fiasco because Grand theft Auto we're already great games and it seems like they made them worse. They should have listened to their player-based and maybe had the modders help them fix up the game. Also we were kind of wanting a mafia style of a remake but instead get a junkyard version. Hope these games get some patches and maybe they'll listen to the fan base.
