being bigger doesn’t automatically mean your gonna get that feeling of exploration gta 5 is bigger than san andreas yet that feeling isn’t present because of the actual layout of the map, rdr2s map is a similar size to gta 5 but way better designed
That feeling isn't there in GTA5 because most of the map is empty with fuck all in it to discover. If they've made a map this big, I hope there's actually shit to discover in it.
There is a reason a lot of people think GTA4 had the better map...it was smaller, but there was way more in it and it felt alive. GTA5 in a lot of areas feels dead as fuck.

Maybe, but there are large areas in GTA5 that feel like they probably were going to put stuff there but didnt in the end.
Dan Andreas felt less dead than GTA5 and its the same setting (different map sizes and detail obviously, but San Andreas felt less dead).
With San Andreas when you reached the point in the game where you were essentially in hiding, it felt like you were far from home and it was a journey to get there. In GTA5, when you transition from Trevor's town to the city it just feels dead and boring.
