this game's entire vibe is encapsulated by it was a good day by ice cube and that's a fantastic thing.

if i had played this game when i was younger, the nostalgia would be off the charts. like, summer nights in 4th grade driving around whetstone and los santos i can just imagine it. something bout the whetstone/mountain area specifically just seems built for nostalagia.

one of the funniest games of all time. every scene with woozie, the guy who can't stop jerking off in the studio, killing og loc's prison lover, all of the radio stations, etc.

cozy af. rockstar makes good games in spite of their shite game design. drive to red circle, drive somewhere else. shootout. repeat. character interactions and the world carry it. seriously wasn't expecting this diverse of a game map: san fierro, the desert, las venturas. just so many good locations in this game.
