GTA has had the same mission structure since the very first game in the series, so I am not sure how the mission structure of the newer ones affect it as being the gold standard.
This is objectively untrue (I see that you didn’t watch the Nakey Jakey video I posted earlier in the thread).
There was a mission in GTA 3 where you were supposed to assassinate someone. The game wanted you to wait for them to get into their car, follow them for a bit, and then take them out in a secluded spot. What smart players did instead was simply steal the target’s car, rig it with a bomb, and then return the vehicle before the target even noticed it was missing, killing them instantly when they started the engine.
Try to do something similar in GTA V, and you’ll fail the mission for “leaving the mission area”. Older GTAs didn’t give a fuck how you accomplished something, so long as it gets done. In V you have to do everything exactly how the devs intended you to or you fail. I miss having the freedom.

The newer ones tell you that you’re leaving the mission area, the older ones didn’t really have that.
The only missions that do that are ones where you’re in a race or chasing someone down. Which aren’t new.
