Doom 3
Closet ambushes punish slow target acquisition
Grand Theft Auto V
Driving and shooting demand decent inputs.

Grand Theft Auto V leans clearly harder on reads.
Doom 3
Demon spawns are scripted triggers, not adaptation
Grand Theft Auto V
Online PvP exists but mostly gear/positioning, not modeling.

Doom 3 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Doom 3
Darkness hides ambushes until memorised
Grand Theft Auto V
Some mission and lobby randomness.

Ammo management and trigger knowledge trivialise replays
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
