GTAIV to be about 100 hours long? Gee, how long will the compete game be?

100 hours of gameplay for an action game's story mode? Good grief! and grief ain't supposed to be good!


But seriously, RE4 is an action game and is around 20 hours of non-stop action. RE4 seemed REALLY long and I couldn't believe it was only 20 hours. How in the world is GTA4 going to feel with 100 hours?

AH! I lost feeling in my leg!

You seem to never have played GTA. There is a lot of traveling and many missions are actually pretty boring. The games are fun over all and you can spend hours doing your own thing.

 I have played the GTA games, but OP said that the story mode is 100 hours.  Side missions can keep one going on for 200 hours in those games.  But I've never heard of an action game's main game clocking in at 100 hours.  Are there any?  GTA3, Vice City and SA didn't take even remotely close to 100 hours in the main game.  At least from my knowledge.
