Probably worried that everyone would remember that San Andreas was more fun to play in almost every way. "We'll soon fix that!" - Rockstar

AlmightyBob posted:There are people on the steam forums that are saying they'd backed up the old version and are doing exactly that, don't know if it works. Looks like I didn't catch it in time, it completely erased itself to start the update.

Here I was laughing with friend at Blizzard for having no better idea than to copy Team Fortress 2 in which I have no interest. Now after watching the two trailers I can't wait to actually try Overwatch. drat.AlmightyBob posted:No hope they'll ever revert the San Andreas patch probably. Not only did they remove songs, they took out the 1080p option (worked fine before) and also old saves don't work. People are saying the controls are hosed too. AlmightyBob posted:It also apparently changed the driving physics. Really looking forward to GTA5 now  Guess I won't be replaying San Andreas anytime soon

Okay, seriously, why would Rockstar go back to gently caress up a 10 year old port of a game? All changes are for the worst and they were all intended. Like, what the heck.

They're basically backporting the iOS version to PC, like they did with the 360 version, but while the graphics are marginally better, everything else is a step back. At this point, the best version for my money is still the Xbox Original version, which now you can't even buy anymore. The PS2 classic, Xbox Original, and PC original versions are all gone now.

SelenicMartian posted:They also pulled the PS2 classics version from PSN store, and are apparently planning to replace it with an HD release of the mobile port. At least I get to keep the old version intact in my downloads list. looks like it's still there on NA psn. just added it to my cart and it went through

Did Rockstar's entire PC division have a simultaneous stroke or something?

SelenicMartian posted:More likely the music licenses ran out, and the mobile port already had cuts made to the soundtrack to avoid these issues. But why would they also a) remove graphic options that worked fine before b) change the driving physics c) remove the game from the store if it were only a music licensing issue? Like, the haven't switched to the ios one, they've just spent money and effort crippling the pc one.

The only reason I haven't 100 percented LEGO Marvel Heroes is because acceleration is weird on my machine. I don't know if it's because I'm using a 360 pad or something's just goofy on my end, but movement and turning start out comfortably slow, then kick into high-gear/hairpins after a handful of seconds. It makes the optional racing sequences really annoying, to say the least. Besides that, it's a bundle of fun. You can even play as Howard the Duck and float around in the Magnetomobile!

Especially 12 classes with radically different powers and level design that focuses on verticality and quick movement. Their gameplay trailer was difficult to follow when dudes with jetpacks and teleport powers are flying all over the place.

It's still balanced though and Blizzard had to deal with a bunch more other game fixes before they could get to class fixes.

Welp, I own San Andreas in multiple formats (played the gently caress out of it on the PS2 and my steam version is sort of languishing) I now feel perfectly justified in getting it from other sources. I imagine people who want the non-hosed version will do the same. Great job, Rockstar!

The definitely want the PC version which patches the awful RC plane mission that literally gives you inadequate fuel to complete it unless the targets spawn at the right places.

I still get nightmares about Supply Lines. I think the PC version was the one that was hosed up, though? I didn't have any 'this is literally impossible' parts in the PS2 version, only 'why the gently caress did they include this' problems. Does someone at Rockstar really love RC vehicles or something because there's usually a couple in every GTA game and they're universally terrible.

Ddraig posted:I still get nightmares about Supply Lines. Nah, the launch PS2 version definitely had an issue with the mission Supply Lines. The PC (and maybe Xbox) versions gave you so much fuel to compensate that you could probably circle the entire map. This may have also been fixed in the PS2 relaunch after the hot coffee incident.

Arkham: Origins was the one with a game breaking bug that the developers openly stated they gave no fucks about and won't ever fix, right?

Origins was buggy at launch but I'm pretty sure it was quickly patched. Personally, I only encountered one or two minor bugs when I played through it a good few months after it came out. Don't know anything about dumb developer statements though.

I don't think it's game breaking but there is a fast travel spot you can't reach without an obscure exploit and the devs shrugged their shoulders at it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-DtI0AQFW4
