well you can have all the photorealistic graphics you want, but if the only way to interact with the world is by shooting things then you're not really doing anything new.  gta 3 feels different to gta 4, but gta 5 plays the same as gta 4.  there's nothing to do in games that you haven't already done thousands of times over decades, exceptions being stuff like rimworld, or even that monkey game. rdr2 was made with enough care that you can at least appreciate wandering around the woods and looking at the animals.
