@SuperDicq >It has an insane map size and stuff to do

Insanely boring and unappealing map with barely anything to do. It also forcibly relocates you to even more boring part of the map at some point.

>limited by PS2 hardware. It is actually a super impressive technical feat.

they compressed the game to run on PS2, woohoo I guess. Never known nor cared about PS2 version, only PC. When you think of PC version all of that "technically impressive" stuff instantly evaporates.

>I also think GTA SA also has the most memorable cast of characters and the most quotable lines

I only remember big smoke because he's a meme and "aw shit here we go again" which is also a meme. I remember some other lines but only "badly translated to russian" versions of them.

Meanwhile I remember a lot of characters from VC: Tommy himself is such a character, Lance Vance, that jewish Attorney, cowboy proprietor with big hat, some military general dude, the cuban NPCs who never stop talking about cojones.

>On top of that the GTA SA modding scene for PC is absolutely insane and is still going strong even today.

Well yeah, it's the most latest and most advanced version of the same game engine.

SA has the most boring story, further worsened by game taking itself way too seriously which somehow became a staple of series, compared to somewhat bombastic and semi-serious vice city and 3 as well 2. gta 4 had some promise maybe there'd be some slav antics or something but it gets back to being boring and serious quickly. And five... five has boring nigga, boring cracker, funny schizo; an improvement for sure.
