A post on Reddit shows the ridiculous nature of the rain effects that are present inGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition. As seen in the video, the rain makes it extremely difficult to see what is going on the screen. In this case, the user can barely see the road in front of them, and narrowly misses an oncoming car. Thanks to the thunder and lightning, the player can get a small glimpse of the ground, but they ultimately decide that it is just not worth the effort to ride a bicycle in these conditions.
Another video shows that the rain effects in theGTA Trilogyare most probably bugged. While the rain looks fine at first glance, the problem is that the character is standing indoors. As the camera pans upwards, players can see that the user is inside a garage, and the rain is somehow coming through the ceiling.
