Which GTA game do you prefer?
San Andreas wins over GTA V any day of the week, month year etc.
GTA V is still good but yeah San Andreas wins for me!
If they could reskin GTA:V to San Andreas it would be tops!

shareEverything in GTAV seems counter-productive. Missions don't net you much money at all, and breaking the law or getting killed can wind up costing more than you gain. I would spend money on guns, ammo, and body armour, and then get busted or die, losing everything along with a big chunk of money and not even get any reward out of it. I would wind up worse off than when I started. I find Red Dead Redemption to be the same.
In comparison, San Andreas has some great game play loops where every activity you do can be fun and profitable, regardless of whether you get busted or die. The vigilante missions in particular can net you a lot of money and guns while you're just having fun playing the game. I think they forgot how to reward you for in game activities and ignore the fact that they're supposed to encourage you to do criminal behaviour.
Do the Shark Cards give you money in the single player component? I have always though that's why they reduced the amount of money you got from missions.
San Andreas for the nostalgia.
GTA V for the online multiplayer
