How is it possible that GTA San Andreas is STILL the best open world game of all time? This game will never be topped. In fact, GTA SA is so good that all GTA games afterwards have been shit in comparison

I'm going to come off as combative but I fucking hate SA. Everything about it is great except for the gameplay.
The acting, music selection, graphics (at the time) and world building are all fantastic. However, have you ever tried to play this piece of shit without cheats?
I've come across so many game breaking bugs trying to beat this fucker that I genuinely think God doesn't want me to beat it. When you have to get the code from the girl for the heist and CJ says he has to date her... FUCK that. I killed her instead and the game acknowledged it. Woozy calls me on the cell phone and is like "Well, I guess you killed her, go get the code." Wouldn't let me into her house.
The PC port of the game is also glitchy as fuck and the shooting is god awful. The game is impossible to play without cheats because every time you die you lose EVERYTHING. Literally the only reason we played this stupid fucking game when we were kids is to cheat. After I beat GTA 4 without cheats I wanted to do the same with SA after mistakenly thinking that a non-cheat run would be realistic and immersive, which is what I kind of value in games.

The open world tied into the missions spectacularly, the activities were varied and tied into CJ's stats, every section of the map felt large, detailed and different, basically it actually used the space to its advantage which virtually no open world games do anymore.

I'm literally doing that now. It's not that difficult. Yeah there was a few bullshit missions but you can actually succeed easily without cheats.

SA has too much bloat and filler. The RPG elements added nothing to the game, half the main story missions sucked, and it couldn't keep a consistent tone. The game's ambitious, don't get me wrong, but it's pretty messy as well.

Maybe the PS3 version is just janky as fuck then. You probably already beated with (with cheats) so you know all the steps and you're probably using mouse and keyboard.
Using health and armor cheat still fucking counts, I know everyone does that.

Also, how did you get the money to buy the airstrip in the desert without cheats? That part pissed me the fuck off.
What do you do when you die and lose all your fucking guns? Do you just farm weapons from gangsters around the city?
The cheats are a band-aid to fix the terrible gameplay.
