Should half of the map be locked off at the start of the game ?.

One thing I loved about GTA Games was that when you finally unlocked a new part of the map after doing missions it felt extremely rewarding and super exciting to see what was over the other side of the bridge. Two memories come to mind. 1 in San Andreas where you could see the two massive bridges at San Fierro from the countryside. I couldn’t believe R* put in the Forth Rail Bridge in that game. It was jaw dropping especially being a Scot. And 2 I remember Vice City Stories had a ferris wheel you could see on the second island but couldn’t get to it as the bridges were closed off. Younger me was so excited to drive over the bridge after doing some of the story and finally getting to go on that Ferris Wheel. This was completely lost in GTA V as you could go anywhere straight away after the first couple of missions. It was amazing to explore an area of the game that’s been shut off for a while and sit and wonder just what is really over there. Would you like to see this return or do you prefer the entire map to be fully accessible from the start ???.
