It takes a special kind of racist contrarian incel to hate this game
It delivered on the open-world promise GTA3 made
There was tons of shit to see and do, the series flirted with RPG mechanics for the first time, and it was singled out by politicians as "everything bad with videogames" before during and after the Hot Coffee scandal made it one of the only games in the US ever rated AO by the ESRB
It also happened to be the first introduction to hiphop and rap for many people so the soundtrack is legendary
>car customization
WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA MY CAR IS A DIFFERENT COLOR AND FOR 3 CARS I CAN ALSO CHANGE SPOILER TYPE WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
GTAV is superior
proper characters
everyone remembers big smoke and ryder, later on the mexibro and the changs
Being fun, unlike Tech Demo Auto IV
chock full of fun gameplay, both in missions and emergent, facilitated by diverse environments.
The Dust
Terrible opinion
I think every aspect of it was really good, the missions, radio, setting, different biomes, characters and all the mini games and side missons. I was 15 when it came out and it was really fun to play and I remember thinking it was the 'perfect' game. I don't think so anymore, but it still made a massive impact on gaming

Also, all the mysterious parts of the game helped create a deep lore that made it feel lile it was a real world. Not like V where the developers have fried to recreate this and have created bigfoot missions, chiliad mystery, aliens or serial killer threads which completely miss the point. The SA mysteries where organic and happened due to glitches or other weird stuff left over in the game
Alas, Hot Coffee ended easter eggs as a general thing in the industry
Now unvetted code is a potential liability

but sure that yoga sure is something, huh
It was a good game that came out in one of the last years before the world turned to shit
STILL
The freedom it gives you with all the customizations I guess.
The story IMO is not its strongest point. Story wise GTA IV wins hands down. But SA does let you have more fun. It's like V but on steroids
