* Majorly fun and interesting gameplay related to the hood, like gang wars for turf, recruiting gang members to follow you around, fight other gangs, doing drive bys on rivals. Stuff like this gave SA high replay value. GTA V had none of this for Franklin, not even in a diluted form.dbboxkaifan wrote:GTA SA is an openworld with little to do besides controlling vehicles or killing people whereas GTA V has online play with plenty of game modes that'll last for months if not years (1-2+) and in GTA V the gameplay actually functions properly.
Saying GTA SA is better than GTA V just doesn't make sense, of course you can say it in your opinion and your friends.
* Much better variety of side missions. Aside from the gang wars and recruiting gang members, you could burgle houses, hijack drug package shipments, gambling in the bookmakers and casinos, gym, boxing and more. In V, we get f**king yoga, tennis, triathlon and the very below-par Strangers and Freaks missions.
* Much longer main storyline. V was way too short for how big it was, SA had a very long storyline and it's got a smaller map.
* Element of danger was felt more in the streets of Los Santos. Explosive shootouts between rival gangs would just break out in the streets without the player igniting them.
* 3 different major cities. Added to variety of the map a great deal.
* Much more accessible interiors, including all the fast food joints like Cluckin' Bell and Burger Shot, nightclubs, bars, bookmakers, casinos, gym, barbershop, tattoo parlor, police stations, convenience stores, clothes stores, your own properties and businesses etc. Much more immersion and interaction in the environment than V.
* You could buy your own safehouse properties of YOUR own choice.
* Better clothing options, bigger range of clothing. You could buy lost of expensive jewelry like nice gold/diamond chains, watches, rings, not just minor diamond studs which Franklin could only buy in V.
Gameplay functions properly? If you mean cops going after you when they ram into you,the crappy payouts for most of the jobs in gta online,sometimes being stuck in the clouds, the cops somehow making their cars act like bricks, among other things, that gameplay?
Gta online is terrible IMO, after you hit level 120, you've basically completed it, and there's no point in playing further. R* first saying they weren't developing gta v for next gen, only to do exactly that doesn't help either
