    Thanks for watching! I under estimated the size of San Andreas, so this was an exhausting video to record, script and edit. But I feel it was all worth it, and hope you guys enjoy it! Feel free to check out the rest of my videos here:

    I just realized how many times Cj commits treason in this game
    -Stole from a military storage unit and kills weekend soldiers
    -Broke into Area 51, killed soldiers and steals a 60-million-dollar jetpack because his hippie friend wants it
    -Use aforementioned stolen jetpack to attack a freight train transporting top secret government hardware and steal mysterious green jar of goo of possible extra-terrestrial origin, because again, your hippie friend wants it
    -Broke into a military ship and steals a goddamn fighter jet and uses it to destroy spy ships
    -Broke into a military compound in Las Venturas to steal a military helicopter, to steal an armored van so you can use it to steal from a casino
    I fucking love this game

    I think one of the things that grew on me so much in this game is the friendship between CJ and Cesar. I love how confrontational they are at first but then later it’s revealed Cesar is one of the few people that actually cares about the Johnson family and a lot of the people CJ thought were his friends actually weren’t. I loved all the missions with him in San Fierro.

Cancel the vehicle mission and go back to your business. I just beat SA on ps4 this summer again and it still works.

      … people get so close that Smoke shoots the train? And then complain about it? Is that serious or are you making it up?
      I never had problems with the mission. I liked chasing the train and tried different things. Like many (at least I assume I’m not one of the few) I just jumped on top with the bike and gunned them down myself. I really has to lose the train somehow to fail it.

Samuel L Jackson, Chris Penn, James Woods, Peter Fonda, Ice-T, Charlie Murphy, David Cross, William Fichtner, Axl Rose, Danny Dyer. I always knew that they had some big names in every title but as i went down the list proper i was blown away at some that i didnt even realize when i was 14-15 playing, like Axl Rose a radio host or Peter Fonda as The Truth.

    Honestly this game was the most complete GTA game/story ever made. Yeah, some of the subsequent games had great bells and whistles (fun gameplay features), but the vibe and spirit of this game was equal to Vice City. I'd argue the story was slightly better because it was more intricate and you really felt how hard CJ worked to truly take over and be both legit and a gangster. Even as a kid, I didn't feel the need to rush through the game and could take my time to enjoy it. And yes, WOOZIE was my favorite friend of CJ's.

    Nothing will ever ever top this masterpiece.
    The map, for me, is still perfect, not only in variety, but also in size.
    It still feels huge when cruising from Los Santos to Back'o'Beyond.
    Let's not forget all the mysteries surrounding this game; Yeti, UFO's, the ghost girl in the desert, Leatherface, the mysterious phone call near the aircraft graveyard, the ominous blue lights from the church where you steal the harvester...
    This was more than a game, it was a world of its own.
    I know the map better than my hometown lmao.
    The radio stations, the absurd number of side activities...
    The orange and purple sky that makes you feel like you're in California.
    While GTAIV has grown a lot on me after initially hating it, it lacks the wackiness and variety of San Andreas.
    Best game ever!!

As for the story, as far as I've seen on the Internet, everything that was cut due to lack of memory on one CD is nothing but a tragedy, and yet again whenever I play GTA SA everything gets better and I remember why I live and that life is cool sometimes.

    Damn, the feels are very strong here. I have beaten that game like 20-30 times, have done everything there is to do here(except those modes, cheats and other stuff that I just wasn´t able to do, because didn´t know them). But I have done everything there is to do in that game, even at 1 point created my own missions. Like going somewhere and then killing people or escaping from the cops/ driving from point A to B for some time and so on. At one point I even knew all of the map, every damn place. That´s how much I had played it. Have found all of the shells, tags and so on side missions(but it took a loooot of time to complete everything). I can´t even explain how much I love that game. And that´s the only GTA I have beaten. In Vice City I had struggles at one point and stopped playing around the middle of the story and also have played 3 and 5, but very little. Somehow they weren´t so interesting to me. But that game is just perfect. I think it wouldn´t be exaduration to say that I must have spend maybe like 10 000 hours in it, if not more. Had played it since I was around 10, till about few years ago(now I´m 29). Like a whole 2 decades and it never got boring. Well, sometimes it got boring, but that´s where I started doing my own missions and things and there was always something new to be done.
