I feel as if the 3D era of GTA was the best, I wish they continued with it. The characters and stories were great and the cities aswell. For example San Andreas had a huge map with 3 cities whereas the HD version only has 1. I also think SAMP is better than GTA: Online. I also felt that the missions were better aswell and I just simply don't like the newer characters. Tommy, Claude, Vic, Carl, and Tony were all cool protagonists. The new GTA V map is technically bigger but it's a lot of empty space and I don't like the characters. GTA 4 was alright though, the new engine was pretty cool.
