Grand Theft Auto V is so much worse than I remember

Current Events

Played the updated Series X version for a good few hours, up until Trevor's first mission. And these missions are... boring as fuck? You barely do anything or make any choices. It's all just so scripted. Chase a boat trailer on the highway (predetermined path, you basically just have to accelerate), cycle along the beach then escape on a jet ski (down a predetermined path, so you basically just accelerate down a path, then turn and go straight). The most involved is probably the one with Franklin where you get a shotgun with a flashlight attachment and have to escape a warehouse, but it's still a scripted path with predetermined "this enemy comes out this door when you're this close to it" type events. Remember in GTAIV when enemies and missions and stuff were dynamic?
Ghosts are cool.
