Am I the only one?

I was just curious that am I the only one who thinks that old GTAs don't deserve the respect that they have. Now, I haven't played any GTA game but I have watched gta SA and gta3 complete gameplay. I also watched the gameplay of The Getaway. And tbh, The Getaway was way better than San Andreas and gta3. The missions of older gta games are not that exciting. Gta4 and 5 are better according to me.
