The game is overhyped, but it's fun. The world is large and enjoyable to play in and explore. The missions for the most part are diverse and more complex than you'd see in other GTA titles, and, most importantly, unlike GTA IV it's fun. Sure Roman was great but the game never really felt fun to me.
I also replayed SA in anticipation for this, and though I love that game and I think it's one of the best games ever made, I think you're remembering it wrong. San Andreas had painfully small cities, missions which affect overly involved drive somewhere and do one thing (and were much shorter), and the controls were much worse. As for side activities, there were far fewer than in this title. If you don't like the races, triathlons, property management, parachuting, hunting etc. then that's fine, but it's unfair to say there's not a lot to do because you don't like them and Rockstar made one activity which really actually annoyed me which you enjoyed in SA.
Is V better than SA? I don't know. Haven't yet finished the story, but having played SA recently there's no question V is by far the better game. Whether. I remember it like that or not is a different question.
