I do understand GTA V criticism. I think its metascore is inflated. The best GTA game was San Andreas and V, while a great game, fails to beat it even if it has the advantage of better hardware.
San Andreas had a better open world map. It had Las Venturas, so you could drive through the road and end up in a bright Las Vegas. On GTA V, you just reached Sandy Shores that was... disappointing. I also hate the physics of new GTA games, you basically fly from your car after minor crashes, cops are too much of a problem, etc. The game is supposed to be funny and a big joke, but the new ones cut down what was good on SA.
I also not sold in the characters. Michael is great: interesting, good backstory. Trevor could be as good, but they are always trying to hard to make him over the top as a psycho, most of the times sounding too silly. Franklin is pretty much a poor man CJ.
I've been back to GTA V recently while also playing San Andreas on my phone and really SA is the better game. GTA V is good, but it's not as good as critics want it to be. It's more of an 90-92 than an 97.
MGS5 I agree, people were just complaining for ridiculous reasons. However, I do admit that its general plot is a bit weaker than MGS4. The second act is also a downside: a lot of repeated missions that detract from the game experience. But it adds a lot with the side missions and the open approach to reach objectives, so it balances its shortcomings.
