Grand Theft Auto VTales of Berseria
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 7

Grand Theft Auto V
Online PvP exists but mostly gear/positioning, not modeling.
Tales of Berseria
All enemies use fixed attack scripts; no adaptive component
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Grand Theft Auto V
Some mission and lobby randomness.
Tales of Berseria
Random drops matter for gear progression but rarely alter fights
Optimization4 vs 6
Tales of Berseria leans clearly harder on optimization.
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
Tales of Berseria
Soul Gauge and Break Soul management form the optimisation layer
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
