After coming off San Andreas when 4 came out, I figured it was the same as SA with the skill system that made the cars less slidey the better CJ got. But nope. It's just like that. It gives the vehicles more sense of weight, but it's too slidey unless the road is meant to be black ice. I feel like 5 has the best arcade like driving. Especially with the addition of being able to control your pitch and roll in a car and not just on a bike. It's not too real, but it's not super cartoonish. It's a perfect middle area.
