Rockstar has made cash cow games. It isn't so perfect, that it makes an awesome game every time. What about Liberty City Stories? That is such a milking game. How Toni got to how he is was unneeded. The whole story added nothing to the tale, of how the Leones got power. If the game never happened, what happened in San Andreas could have sufficed. In a way that Carl helping rid the Sindaccos and the Forellis from Caligulas, Salvatore took full control. Using his influence in the casino, and the money he made, he could have greased plenty of palms, and bit by bit took control of all the other families' properties in Liberty City. Not a game with hardly any memorable missions or moments at all.

Also, not everyone thinks Cole is dead. I know a lot of people, who like the game, that have their own theories on what happened. Just because there is a funeral scene, doesn't mean he is dead. People have survived much worse in real life, and lived to tell the tale. Not everyone thinks the same as you, dude.
