I didn't hate V, but nothing has touched San Andreas' magic for me.
I had to mention both, because I like them for different reasons.
Initially I didn't even like Vice City, because it was just an epigon of GTA3 with more lens flare, but the story and not least the music won me over. I know it's a blatant mockery of Scarface, but that's what makes it so great and funny.
San Andreas is probably the masterpiece of them all. Maybe it got a little too serious in comparison to previous games, but it managed to portrait a great feeling of freedom and doing whatever in-between the main missions.
GTA V is more like: Follow the arrow through this generic oversized map.
San Andreas just felt like it captured the 90s perfectly. I could almost lump it in as a 90s memory.
