I like how it looked. And to me it was and is game with perfect sized map and story lenght.
Nothing feels like its too far to travel at any time, but the map is large enough to feel like city. But small enough that you can learn it.
With SA i always feel like im over the game when i get to the last island, but in vice city the story pacing feels so good and it never outlasts its welcome.
I feel like newer rock star games are just too large to complete fully and keep your intrests, but Vice City hit the sweet spot where you could complete the game without getting tired of it and after short break you could start a new playtrough. I loved gta 5, but after playing seemingly all content it had it took years and few rereleases for me to pick it up again, but VC was a game i played trough twice or trice a year for a long time.
There’s really only 1 RC Helicopter mission in VC. And IMO the RC Plane mission is much harder. In general, there’s a lot of jank in VC, but the vibes are unbeatable. I agree, SA is the better game hands down, while VC is a better experience.
When it was released, SA was also my favorite by far. But with time I noticed I replay VC more than SA, likely because of the vibes. But yes, SA is a correct answer, too.
The gang wars mechanic put me off SA, same as the friends in GTA IV that keep demanding you go bowling with them while you are in a car chase with the police. It felt forced and screwed with the flow of the game by forcing you to stop whatever you were enjoying at that moment or deal with the consequences.
Vice City is also my favourite, great selection of music tracks, great 80’s vibes and it wouldn’t forcefully try to pull you out of your flow at random intervals.
I started with GTA, but the best one is San Andreas
Damn right! San Andreas is just the best, hands down. I’ve never understood the love that Vice City gets. It just always felt so limited compared SA.
Or maybe my memories are just tainted by those damn RC helicopter missions.

people love the 80s retro shit, especially back then, 20 years after the 80s.

Nah, VC was much more fun long term than SA. SA had sooooo many more annoying features and set pieces imo
