The new Taxi feature that they brought into the game really was disheartening for the fans. Especially because a fast travel option earlier was so limited and there were large demands for it for years. And now when it finally came, it’s time-bound and restricted to GTA +.
The Definitive Edition, which was infamous due to rampant bugs, was re-released on Steam with a huge discount. But, according to reports, they still are filled with bugs and Rockstar has not done anything to solve it.
