yes! san andreas is the best gta imo (although i haven't played them all), the map felt huge and had a ton of shit to do, my only gripe with it is the fact that at a certain wanted level it's impossible to have car chases because the cops assplode every vehicle in under 2 seconds (not to mention it's very dangerous to escape by bike since the cops can shoot you and even if they don't they very often shoot the tires making it uncontrollable)

when i played gtaV i was disappointed at the lack of things to do, couldn't eat, get tattoos, go to the gym, get fat... even a tiny detail like being able to drink/eat at vending machines would have been nice to see
once i finished the main story there was essentially NOTHING to do except going on killing sprees.
the thing i wanted san andreas to have was store robberies and V has them but the only stores that can be robbed are the same 4 or 5 7/11s copy pasted around the map.
recording yourself driving your custom car around is pretty much the only thing you can do

oh and one more thing: playing in first person is the worst possible experience because of that dreaded "realistic" movement
