    I remember being 12 when San Andreas came out, and being excited for how many more features the game had than vice city, and how much bigger the map was, and the 12 year old white boys in my class being entirely butthurt about the protagonist being black (but they wouldn't put it that way, of course, because they didn't want to get their ass beat, so instead they talked about how much cooler of a time period 80s Miami was, and how much more badass Tommy Vercetti is.)

    🤨 I was like motherfucker we can finally swim in this one, and there's fighter jets, and there's 3 different cities Tommy vercetti dies if he falls off a boat. What kind of florida man protagonist is that???

      Extra strange since nowadays people hold San Andreas up as the best classic GTA and I seldom hear anyone talk shit about it.
