I beat GTA 4 in 13 days , the other versions was way longer . It took me about 3 or 4 months to beat San andreas. And it took me about 2 months to beat GTA 3 (Vice City beat over night).... What you guys think ? Was it kinda short ?
it was enough for me to be honest, i enjoyed the game, obviously it doesn't beat San Andreas but it's definitely worth playing. and by the way, what's up with Lost and Damned? i finished it in like 6 hours or something, that game was seriously short, i guess that's cause it's an expension
I think that it needed some more missions.The other thing that really got old was keeping all those friends happy.But at least there are a good bit of side missions to do.
IMO GTA4 was the best in the series, longer then every other except GTA:SA but just as much fun and storywise a lot better. My favorite setting however was that of GTA:VC so for me the perfect GTA game hasn't been made yet. But GTA4 isn't lesser to any other game in the serie, certainly not in length because it took me 45 hours to beat it and I finished GTA3 and GTA:VC before that. Maybe some of you weren't just as skilled as you are now in gaming, on top of that GTA3 had you replaying way too much if you did die. No wonder it might have taking you longer to beat it.
I completed it within 2days...WTF! kind of GTA gets completed within 2days? a crap GTA. It was ridiculously short and I still remember thinking to myself GTA3 completed within two weeks but lasted me a month, Vice City completed within a week but lasted me months, GTA San Andreas completed within two weeks lasted me a year so what the hell? They made a great enviroment but they obviously forgot to add the game, seriously one story throughout the entire game...a story that any other GTA could have explained in about 10missions and the game had no side quests...seriously dead game.

i agree, going out with friends felt more like a chore than fun
I completed it quite fast, and got the 100% quite fast too, but I didn't really think it was too short. It's shorter than San Andreas, but SA was a monster of a game.
To be honest, GTA IV was the worst in the series if you ask me, the short story, the ton of useless gimmicks (dating and internet AHEM!) and no replayabillity whatsoever except delivering cars and collecting o-hoo-bloody-ray packages. And if you'd happen to be done with that, you could always just run around shooting pidgeons.
It had 90 missions and a ton of side things. It took me about 50 hours to get 100% and I played the main story three times so far. I know a lot of people that didn't finish the main story in under 30 hours. 30 hours isn't long enough when most games are 6-10 hours now?
[QUOTE="Mighty_turnip"]It was too long because it sucked. GTA mission structure: 1 Go to place 2 Shoot people 3 Get away in car You can describe any game like that.
I beat the single player in 29 hours (just a few minutes before the 30 hour mark) and I've put at least 100 more hours into since then. It was, if anything, maybe a little too long.
I got done around 20 missions. I hate the game. I like the graphics and all... but every time you fail a mission, you go all the way back to the beginning. It's just too hard

Naw dude , you dont have to start over , you can automatically check your phone an it'll take you to the spot. (If thats ur problem). And the games really easy , the easyest gta yet.

Yea, back to the beginning of the mission, you go through all this work and die, then you do it over. It's simply trial and error. And San Andreas was no problem for me
The avg game length in todays generation is like 10 hours. A game that takes 30 hours to beat the main storyline, and well after that to 100% is for sure long enough.
[QUOTE="Tiger5hark"]Well hey if you cant beat it you cant beat it lol.... :(RobboElRobbo
I could but the game is just not for me... it really has potential but it it could be made differently imo did not find any of the missions that challenging i think i had to only repeat 1-2 missions, the last one like 3 times and then one other one only once, they werent that difficult IMO
[QUOTE="Mighty_turnip"]It was too long because it sucked. GTA mission structure: 1 Go to place 2 Shoot people 3 Get away in car except in gears, halo and CoD you dont normally have a vehicle to get away in ;)
[QUOTE="Mighty_turnip"]It was too long because it sucked. GTA mission structure: 1 Go to place 2 Shoot people 3 Get away in car Yea... I agree with this. Assman's Creed has the same problem
when u think about it, all games are fairly short if u rush em. Oblivion can be done in about 10 hours if u turn the difficulty down and maybe like 30 if u just rush on normal difficulty (no exploration, take the easy route in quests), same thing with Fallout. and thats with the side quests, the main quest can be done in no time if u want it that way, but free roaming games deserve a little more time for exploration and just playing around (which is the most fun TBH)
I thought it was longer than the other except maybe 3. i beat all the other in either the same amount of time or sooner. I also beat GTA4 within 30 hours i think about 20-25
it was long enough, just not good enough for me. [QUOTE="chaoscougar1"][QUOTE="Toxic8"]

i agree, going out with friends felt more like a chore than fun a majority of the story mode was more like a chore than fun imo... There was only a few missions that stood out. 4 Leaf Clover was great, though

You'd think they try to at least top San Andreas, I don't wanna say they were lazy but seriously, anytime you release a sequel it should at least come close to outshining the the past.

Lost and Damned was an expansion and it was epic. Do not ever diss that expansion again, or i'll come over and smack you on the nose.
