10 Video Games So Disappointing You Rage Quit

10. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition

It's easy to chastise Rockstar for charging full price for a barely upscaled port of Red Dead Redemption (and you should do it), but in concept GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition was a more reasonable affair. Three classic PS2 games all released as one for $60 wasn't a dreadful deal. Until it became apparent that the company hadn't supplied review copies of the game to any outlets on the lead-up to release. The marketing was already slim as it was and people were worried why.

Of course, their concerns were justified. The game bombed on release thanks to its terrible textures, nightmare fuel character models, vision-obscuring weather effects and a new selection of glitches. Not enough attention was paid to crafting an HD experience of the originals and it instead all felt like it had been up-scaled by a mindless push of a button - which, considering it had partially used AI, wasn't totally untrue. There was missing music and cheats and, to make matters worse, Definitive Edition had been designed to replace the old versions that had been pulled from store-shelves.

It was horrible to see the games in this state. Considering that all three titles easily add to well over 60 hours of content, there's no way that the vast majority of players saw it through. You'd be much better off dragging the PlayStation 2 out of the attic.
