Now that the hype has died off, how good was GTA V in reality?

The world is too big, or rather, the mission design is shitty with too many missions following the dragged out formula of:

1. Spend 5 minutes driving to mission start
2. Spend 5-8 minutes driving to point A of mission
3. Spend 30 seconds - 2 minutes shooting people
4. Drive for 5 minutes,
5. End.

Another one after point 1 is

2. Go here,
3. Get in car
4. Chase someone.

Isn't that the usual norm in GTA games, though?
