That looks like absolute bollocks. It doesn't take approximately four times as long to drive from top to bottom of GTA V compared to San Andreas. There is no way that Mount Chiliad alone is as big as San Andreas. The airport isn't the size of a single city, and other ridiculous size-related suggestions.El Warbok said:To all of you guys saying that San Andreas' map is bigger than Los Santos, have a look at this:

If you are too lazy to see, the site shows a map comparison between GTA V and GTA: San Andreas. San Andreas' map fits in the city of Los Santos alone, even excluding the coast and the airport.
It smacks of laziness, that's why. They build a good sized city and smack a large back yard on it, filled with trees, hills and mountains. Sure, it's pretty to drive through but it's a gta game and not playing a sight seeing tour.shootthebandit said:snip
Sure the San Andreas map may be smaller than the GTA V map, but roughly 6 to 8 times smaller? Completely ridiculous.MichiganMuscle77 said:San Andreas felt big once upon a time, but go back and play it - it's small. Hell, buy it on Steam and increase the draw distance - you can see Las Venturas and San Fierro from Los Santos. It's not as far away as it felt when we originally played it on PS2.
I have no trouble believing GTA V's San Andreas is bigger - it might not take as long to travel, likely because the cars are faster and the traffic easier to maneuver through.
The city has plenty big buildings and landmarks that could be used as a heist. There was also so many opertunities to parody other heist movies. Why not have a pawn shop that martins gang had hid 1mil in. You then have a getaway through the los santos viaduct (a parody of drive). They couldve had a heist inside the chicken factory, it is very similar to that of the chicken factory in breaking bad. They couldve had some fun with that.omega 616 said:It smacks of laziness, that's why. They build a good sized city and smack a large back yard on it, filled with trees, hills and mountains.

The only person who takes any advantage of the rolling hills and forest is Trevor, with his hunting side business.
You then complain about there only being 69 missions? Maybe if there was more city than sight seeing opportunities there would be more missions.
