I'm sorry, but gta FIVE was bland as fuck. Gta3 was groundbreaking for the time because it was 3d, gtavc was actually incredible, but now looks like hot dogshit (sounds great though, and that va cast was insanely talented and well cast and written, chefs kiss), and gtasa while a great game and expansion on basically everything, was the beginning of it getting bland and formulaic.
And gta5 was like... The right direction after gta4, but felt really half assed.
That being said, I love this franchise and want it to do better. I just know that they likely won't.
So don't hate it, just criticize it for what's really wrong with it. As a person who's played since gta2, it's immensely frustrating to see it degrade. Your complaints are valid.
