However, there are still problems here and this is still very far from any sort of definitive experience. From the decade of big hair and pastel suits comes the story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. The single-player campaign is set in the fictional state of San Andreas, where the protagonists, including a retired bank robber, a gangster, and a drug dealer, attempt heists. Dominik's been writing about games for as long as he can remember and is sure he began doing so professionally in 2010 or thereabouts.

Modern controls have been added to improve driving and general gameplay, but shooting is still finicky. Game Rant has affiliate and sponsored partnerships, so we receive a share of the revenue from some of your purchases.The second major issue that we had at launch involved an awful draw distance combined with vehicles that would materialise out of nowhere, making driving feel like a real chore. Ex-Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé is well known for his showmanship and love for Nintendo games, but if a recent interview is anything to by, it seems he may have spent more of his time on the PlayStation 2 during the early 2000s rather than the GameCube. One of the most popular open-world titles of the 2010s, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 is an ambitious crime game featuring three protagonists. The game originally launched over twelve years ago on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and followed the exploits of ex-outlaw John Marston as he hunts down his former gang members. This particular Switch release, however, was an especially notable disappointment given the prestige and iconic status of these titles in video gaming canon.

The draw distance is better, the pop-in is nowhere near as bad, and the materialising cars, although still very much present, at least have the decency to appear out of nowhere slightly further down the road.

There is a moment in a young person's life — a brief window, around 13 years of age — when their internal maelstrom of hormones, peer pressure, and insecurity reaches its peak, turning the teen into soft, malleable putty, ready to be coaxed into a fandom by the next influential moment that comes along. And in all honestly, after spending more time with the games in the weeks that followed our initial assessment, we continued to find more and more issues with a package that was genuinely a complete and utter waste of your time and money. Rumors of a GTA 5 Switch port have been circulating the industry for nearly as long, since before Nintendo's hybrid console even hit the market in early 2017.

Reflecting on this find, RafaelSwi speculated that Rockstar might have initially left open the possibility of bringing the game to the Switch, but canceled those plans after it was announced that the Wii U successor would use the 64-bit ARM architecture.

It's also pretty much put me off going in on games on day one, knowing full well that there'll be patches and updates at least a couple of weeks after launch, and I feel like a dodged a pretty sizeable bullet.
