If the player is happy, then why break something and invent a wheel? And the developers should have preserved the integrity of the trilogy. So we got three whole cities, a lot of opportunities and little things, as well as another decade with new heroes.

Especially in comparison with the same Half Life 2.
It was during GTA: SA that modding became a widespread phenomenon, and scandals associated with the series and developers became regular.
