GTA V dense? I found it incredibly bare, especially coming from GTA SA.

Yeah V has the most lifeless map of any GTA since 3. Even NPC detail was missing like umbrellas when it rains.

Didn't play it so I can't comment on the SA part.
At least they have loads of little details in obscure places

That describes pretty much all GTA games though. The difference with V is that it has a much bigger map, so there are a lot more areas with uninteresting details.

Maybe it's just me but I felt like the space was for the better. Maybe it's just the fidelity of the game that helps it vs the older gen.
