A Rockstar account is required to play this game. The Rockstar account launcher is broken. I've already bought the game and now some DRM ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is preventing me from playing it. GFYM

Really fun game, and it's insane how well the faces hold up even now. Great story and characters, really feels like playing an old detective movie or serial. Definitely has some questionable design choices, like the open world and gunplay, but it doesn't hurt the overall experience too much. Glad I finally checked it out.

Needing to connect to Rockstars Games Launcher every time is ridiculous for a single player offline game that shouldn't/doesn't require internet access to play the actual game. Everything should/could be done in offline, but this game won't allow you to bypass the launcher at all. There are versions of this game online without the need to connect, but I'm not interested in going through the high sea's to get a version that works (that's also free).

So besides the whole "always online part", this port is absolutely terrible. Locked to 30fps, terrible driving, janky/crashes constantly. You have to download mods/patches to be able to actually get a frame rate that isn't garbage. The story is the only good part about this game, and frankly if you want the story; it's not worth the hassle of the entire game being a POS.

I wouldn't recommend this game at all due to Rockstar's greediness of everything needing to be online and it being a terrible port you need to "fix" in order to even play properly.
