"Yeah! I liked the GTA series when I was younger. They're bringing 3, Vice City, and San Andreas back? Great! What do you mean no one likes them? 49 on Metacritic? I'll be the judge of that. They can't be that bad."

"Can't be that bad" seems to be the phrase you say before something really bad happens. Like "Hold my beer" or "Relax, I saw this on TV once." But really, the bare minimum I have for these three games is 1) Run decently 2) Be better than the mobile ports. Look, I just want to be in the middle of a major American city playing these games as well as I did at a friend's house on the PS2 in 2002. This is precisely what I intend to find out.

And my conclusion shocked me.

Starting off with GTA 3.
