**Why *Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition* Is a Lot Better Now and Should Be on GOG**
When *Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition* first launched in 2021, it was met with disappointment from longtime fans. Bugs, odd visual choices, and performance issues clouded what should’ve been a triumphant return to one of the most iconic open-world games of all time. But fast forward to now—after several substantial updates and patches—the game has been greatly improved and deserves a second look.
The lighting has been refined, giving Vice City's neon-soaked nights and sunlit streets more atmosphere. Character models have been touched up, animations feel smoother, and key bugs that once broke immersion have been addressed. Gameplay tweaks like better aiming, smoother driving mechanics, and modernized controls bring quality-of-life improvements without compromising the original feel of the game.
Putting this updated version on **GOG** would be a perfect match. GOG is all about DRM-free preservation, and Vice City is a vital part of gaming history. A polished, fixed version on GOG ensures long-term access, better modding support, and a platform for new players to experience the magic of 1980s Miami-inspired chaos—without the issues that plagued the launch.
*Vice City – The Definitive Edition* now plays like a proper love letter to the original, with better visuals, performance, and accessibility. It’s time to give it the spotlight it deserves—especially on a platform that values quality and preservation like GOG.
HereticThree brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their powerful magic to possess seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets and corrupt their armies. The Sidhe elves resist the Serpent Riders' magic. The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them. The Sidhe are forced to take a drastic measure to sever the natural power of the kings destroying them and their armies, but at the cost of weakening the elves' power, giving the Serpent riders an advantage to slay the elders. While the Sidhe retreat, one elf, sets off on a quest of vengeance against the weakest of the three Serpent Riders, D'Sparil. He travels through the "City of the Damned", the ruined capital of the Sidhe, then past Hell's Maw and finally the Dome of D'Sparil.Fantasy Historical

WolfensteinWolfenstein is the direct sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein RPG. It featured a "re-imagined" disguised dark-haired B.J. Blazkowicz, retaining the unshaven look seen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and dressed in civilian clothes rather than his usual military uniform.
The game mainly consists of the player shooting his way through hordes of different types of Nazis, ranging from normal soldier to ninjas. To deal with the large amount of enemies, the player has access to many typical WWII-weapons like the German MP40 or K98 rifle. In addition, during the course of the game he finds the medallion and learns four powers. While at first entering the Veil only allows him so see enemies more clearly and use strange flying creatures as bombs, he is later able to slow down time, surround himself with a protective shield or make himself stronger. However, the medallion's powers drain its energy, which needs to be refilled at power-spots that are nearly invisible in the real world.Open world Action Fantasy Historical Science fiction Stealth

The battle between the Corporations has re-emerged and continues unabated.

The other Corporations obviously will not sit back and let that stand, so they set up contracts with Ravens through Raven's Ark. Of course, Navis is employing the use of the Ravens as well, and a full-scale conflict seems apparent on the horizon.
