I played a bit of GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas. GTA IV and V were the first ones I completed. I went on to RDR2.

Honestly if you’ve never played RDR2, you should. That game is phenomenal and is what got me excited for VI. I wasn’t too hyped for it before I played RDR2 because simply put I found V to be kinda boring outside of story mode, with IV having the most to do outside of it but still not complete.

I am playing RDR2 still to this day and finding new shit. If Rockstar goes for a more serious tone with the immersion of RDR2 plus more, I’m gonna lose my mind.

That said I still understand your sentiment OP.
