I actually really enjoyed the MGSV loop of mission->administrative activities->mission. At least that's how the loop worked out for me when I played it. Peace Walker had a very similar (if not the same but on a smaller scale) gameplay loop.
Fallout 4 has a similar loop too, depending on how you interact with the game. Go out, do a mission, come back, mod a weapon/piece of armor, go out, do a mission etc.
I remember ACIV having the loop of city->boat stuff->island stuff->boat stuff->city stuff. The city stuff was definitely the weaker part of the game, but have all the pirate stuff there on the seas made it feel more unique.
Minecraft survival mode also has a good loop of exploration->building->exploration.
Spaz isn't an offensive term in America? It definitely is in Canada (although I believe it's spelled with an s, not a z). It's similar to calling someone a "retard" up here.
