GTAV installing process

I've pre-downloaded the game and started it up 15 minutes ago. I forgot the tedious installing process from last gen. But now I am getting unpatient. The game has now been installing for 15 minutes, and is only 1% complete. Is my game messed up, or does it take this huge amount of time to install this game? If I'm lucky, I'll be able to play this game at 2 in the morning..... at this rate.

Your download is messed up, probably.

@GTR12: 2 hours....5%

WOW, good thing I'll be using a SSD when I get my PS4

*edit* scratch that, my install is stuck at 4%. Not literally but, its been like few minutes and once it got to 4% it ain't moving :'( :'( :'(

ok, so I figured out what happened:

Even though the Playstation told me the download was done, there was a "hidden download". In the "dashboard" press Options and Information under GTAV and I realised I had only downloaded 30 of 50 Gb!!? So, my game was still downloading as I was installing - that's why it was so slow. Woke up today and download was 100% done. Took 3-4 seconds to install.

Sounds like your internet provider is too slow. I use Blast from Comcast. Mines installed in about 15-20 minutes tops, and thats with the update. Was very quick.

Yeah, the predownload is only an installer. After that you have to download and install a whopping 44GB of game data. That takes a lot of time and right now the servers are kind of slow as well. It took me around 6 to 7 hours to download it all. It sucks but you'll just have to wait it out.
