GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition: poor reviews and the 1.03 update
The news of the game getting delayed has certainly left fans saddened. There are a lot of people out there who were sincerely waiting to get their hands on the physical copies, and now they have to wait a while longer; their disappointment is understandable.
What adds to the disappointment is the game’s launch was far from ideal. In fact, it was filled with bugs and glitches. So much so that the game had to be made unavailable for sale. The game’s reviews were pretty poor too.
So with the delay on top of everything else, it makes sense for fans to be far from pleased.
