They hired top tier Hollywood writers and actors for Vice City and San Andreas, and those were the only 2 games I've played where I actually looked forward to watching the cutscenes. GTAV they went with second rate actors and writers, and it shows. The other thing is that the core mechanics haven't meaningfully changed. There's only so many times I can steal a car, drive recklessly and evade the cops before the experience is played out. I don't get excited about doing the same thing again with refreshed set decorations.
