      Damn right! San Andreas is just the best, hands down. I’ve never understood the love that Vice City gets. It just always felt so limited compared SA.

      Or maybe my memories are just tainted by those damn RC helicopter missions.

        It’s the

        AESTHETICS

        people love the 80s retro shit, especially back then, 20 years after the 80s.

        There’s really only 1 RC Helicopter mission in VC. And IMO the RC Plane mission is much harder. In general, there’s a lot of jank in VC, but the vibes are unbeatable. I agree, SA is the better game hands down, while VC is a better experience.

      When it was released, SA was also my favorite by far. But with time I noticed I replay VC more than SA, likely because of the vibes. But yes, SA is a correct answer, too.

      Nah, VC was much more fun long term than SA. SA had sooooo many more annoying features and set pieces imo

        The gang wars mechanic put me off SA, same as the friends in GTA IV that keep demanding you go bowling with them while you are in a car chase with the police. It felt forced and screwed with the flow of the game by forcing you to stop whatever you were enjoying at that moment or deal with the consequences.

        Vice City is also my favourite, great selection of music tracks, great 80’s vibes and it wouldn’t forcefully try to pull you out of your flow at random intervals.
