I really enjoyed all the cities in the state of San andreas even the small towns. In real life I've lived in Las Vegas,Los Angeles but never lived in San Francisco but I have lived in Seattle and San Fierro reminded me just of the Emerald City with is gloomy and raining weather and thick Fogg and no sunshine. Las Venturas definitely reminded me of Las Vegas with its desert atmosphere and beautiful sunsets and palm trees and the bright lights and it's only a short drive to Los Santos. Los Santos mimicked Los Angeles so much it's crazy. From the gang turfs to the gang graffiti to different gang members hitting you up asking where you from. The beautiful ocean sunshine and landscaping the city has to offer. Las Venturas my favorite city.

I did enjoy the West Side of San Fierro the Ocean Flats area it's so beautiful 

Ocean Flats in San Fierro is such a beautiful neighbourhood. Every time I go to SF, I always take a drive through Ocean Flats and stop by the beach there. However I've turned it into a war zone in my game because I've made it Balla territory with Families also there too ha ha !

[TheSantader25 6,161]

All of it. San Andreas' map is still the best video game map I've seen to date. And it's because of the variety it offers. None of the areas alone would mean anything.

Lol cool me too hahaha most of the Flats are nothing but Ballas in my game with a small set of Vagos south and a small set of Families north. Also Palisades and Paradiso are also beautiful neighborhoods but it's pretty rough with the Ballas and Rifas in those two neighboring districts.

Definitely agree with you there. I have not seen a better map in any other free-roam open world game since SA. The only map that comes close is Red Dead Redemption (I have not played 2 yet).

Yeah in my game, Ocean Flats is Ballas dominated. I also got the Vagos in nearby Garcia and Kings and they are beefin' with the Rifas there. Hashbury is Families territory. I placed some Da Nang boys in Chinatown to beef with the Triads.

I loved Los Santos. I think it's a way better city in SA than V's LS. I probably spent the most time in Los Santos while freeroaming in SA. The entire map was amazing and very well done, but LS stands out as my favorite.

[Son of Zeus 3,016]

All of them are good with their own distinct feel,  but favourite would be LS. You start the game there and some of the best missions take place there. The run down ghettos, wild police chases and gang shootouts.. still the only gta city that actually feels dangerous.  

[Rafae S 6,814]

Venturas.

Agreed 100 %

 

Even when playing SA now, I'm always on edge when travelling around Los Santos, I'm always ready to draw my gun or run away if I can't handle the gunplay, love that feel lol. Some people complain that being shot at a lot by rival gang members in SA is annoying, but I like it. You don't always have to trade gunfire with rival gangs when they shoot at you, you just run away or drive away, that also adds to the challenge and thrill of surviving. 

[iiCriminnaaL 49 3,135]

Las Venturas.

[Ballas King 500]

As I see LV is kinda over rated, its just casinos and hotel suits mostly. LS has all the actions, the four awesome gangs and the place for the best actions including gang wars in the game. SF has three ok gangs and a beautiful place, awesome Woozie missions and all. But yeah different people have different opinions ....

Counting gangs and events, I prefer Los Santos. But the city itself, Las Venturas.

Just finished playing there now. Can't get enough of that city, it's so beautiful. Having said that, I got gang warfare erupting all over the southern half of SF, the LS gangs came into town lol.

If you have SA on the PC and modded, you should use the "More Details in San Fierro" it's really good, it adds more nice little touches to the city, and also use the Cranberry Station mod. 

[LCLegend 521]

Las Venturas. Beautiful city, with beautiful cars and I like the nice purple glow that’s given off in the night sky.

[WaluigiSpear 6]

I would choose RTLS if there were separate options for RTLS and LS. I don't like the first LS but RTLS is great, so I choose LV.

[Leone_Son 128]

I voted Liberty City (of course). But Las Venturas is my favorite city in San Andreas.

Love driving through San Fierro at night, blasting 808 State on SF-UR.

[Emmi 10,069]

San Fierro followed by Los Santos ... but in all honesty I love the entire map!

[Lioshenka 734]

Liberty City has always been my favourite.

 

Followed by San Fierro, followed by Las Venturas, followed by Los Santos.

 

I like clearly defined seasons, city layout and convenient access to things like shops and transportation. LC has all of these.

 

But most of all I love countryside. There was this beautiful topic, and it was interesting to see the patterns emerging about where people would love to live:

Well, the topic is about favourite _city_, not favourite story portion, so it makes sense they wouldn't be separate.

 

And yes, Los Santos.

[LCLegend 521]

Special shout out to San Fierro, I'm revisiting the map in the game right now and it has such a distinctive, unique feel. It feels very serene. Lots of beautiful neighborhoods and getting into police chases in this city is also very fun because of the steep roads.

[KingD19 65]

Los Santos is my favorite because I get bored fast los Santos has everything I need to stay entertained 

[Casualplaya 48]

I did like the brief excursion to Liberty City - would have been cool to re-use an updated GTA III map for that, even though that would have probably exploded the space needed at the time...

Yup nothing like gang battles (including gang wars and normal gun fights) with the amazing variety of hostile gangs in LS thew Ballas, Vagos and even the Aztecas. I hate how the SF  gangs are neutral, and the Rifas in particular absolute pussies always running from a fight. LS is the best for gang battles including many other cool stuffs....

This was pretty meh aswell. It was just pretty boring not seeing any fights other than idiot drivers crashing into to them and busting back or simply when CJ repiles that's he claims the families but other than that the neighborhoods seemed to quite. That's why glitches come in handy. GSF and Vagos cats wanted to crash the laid back party in Doherty. Let's just say by 1993 this area became a war zone similar to Idlewood in LS. So bad you had LSPD birds patrolling the area

Not in my game bro. 

 

Thanks to the Save Editor mod, 3 of the 4 Los Santos gangs are now also present in San Fierro in my game, and they are causing murderous havoc south of Chinatown, gang shootings erupt at any given moment. The GSF and Ballas have both taken their beef with them to SF, and the Vagos have found new rivals in the SF Rifa. SF is no longer the peaceful city it once was, but it is still not as bad as Los Santos!

EDIT << "New" Topic, merged into existing topic >>

 

What is your favorite Gta San Andreas city ? Personally mine is Los Santos, I love this city and don’t really know how to explain why, I love the cities layout and the highway, the city is very diverse and I love most of the districts, East Los Santos is so cool, Downtown is great with it’s huge buildings, I find this city very special, like even more special the it’s HD era counterpart... If I lived there I would live in the Verona Beach Safehouse, it’s a very chill location near the beach, the observatory and the conference center. Las Venturas is my second favorite, It have a lot of cool location near it and there I love the casinos, the layout is pretty basic (a square city with highways all around and a main street in the middle, but I am not going to complain since the city I live in is similar to that... Las Venturas is very cool. Then we have San Fierro... I don't particularly hate this city, but I don’t really like it... the layout is fine, but it’s a pretty lame city : a downtown on the north, surrounded by residential and industrial buildings on the south... It’s a pretty relaxing and charming city (it’s actually the one with the most parks and residential buildings, and the only one with black, smooth roads) and it have a big airport, this city could have been great, but I don’t know... I just find it boring...

My favorite city is without a doubt San Fierro.

 

I like it since it is a very calm city and its diverse culture like the Chinese, also for its Tourist Areas, Entertainment and Hippies.

 

The truth if they gave me the opportunity to live somewhere in the world that I wanted, was in San Fierro (San Fracisco in real life, and yes, it is my favorite city in real life).

[Guest Billy Russo]

Las Venturas. I always get really excited when I progress to that part of the story. Honestly, they are all really good. It's one of the best maps I think we'll ever get in GTA, obviously it doesn't look as great if you increase the draw distance but it was so impressive for the time it came out.
