So I played this again over the past few days and my mind was blown. For one thing, revisiting my childhood was an awesome experience but what truly amazed me is how well San Andreas stands up against newer games. It was more enjoyable than Mass Effect 3 (in my opinion, of course) and I was surprised at how fun it was, not to mention how huge the game's world is. Everything, every single aspect of this game, was well thought out and it's intricacy and deepness is something not many games have achieved.
One of the things that makes this game so special is the radio stations, it introduced me to so many different kinds of music. Radio X, Radio Los Santos and my personal favourite BY FAR, K-Rose, presented by the stereotypical hillbilly Mary Beth Maybell! Apart from being hilarious, the songs on there are great, driving around in the countryside listening to K-Rose will be one of my favourite gaming moments ever. Here's one of my favourites, especially when it was raining in-game (and maybe irl too) :

This thread is to discuss San Andreas, and how some aspects of it may be revisited in GTA V. And as a closing note to this post... replaying this game made GTA IV look like a joke, and I actually liked IV.
