Forums - Gaming - The truth about GTAIV's length

We have had some ridiculously exaggerated stories about GTAIV's length recently. Some sources have put the core length at around 100 hours, leading Sony to declare that the game is big enough without Microsoft's DLC.

Well according to the IGN review, both versions currently take far less than 100 hours to complete. To get to the end of the story, it will take you 25-45 hours.

Some people have been claiming the DLC installments will be about 10 hours in length each, which all of a sudden looks much more significant.

I believe it was 25-45 hours straight threw the story and 80-100 for 100% completion.

80-100 hours for 100% completion is typical of San Andreas and Vice City.

That sounds more accurate.  To be honest, I'll never collect all the little things.  But I'll definitely play and extra missions/areas.

we know nothing about the actual 100% completion time required for this game.

and even less about this so-called "DLC" which is as likely to be horse arm... I mean, bullet-vest as 10 hours add-on.

So I'm asking, is there a point to start a thread about a rumour of a rumour of a rumour?? What purpose does it serve again?

It serves the purpose of discussion.........

Er, why else are you on a gaming forum?

I think it is relevant as the main arguement against the dlc is that the core game is already massive... the fact that it is not 100 hours long means that the dlc content will be even more significant.

At least that argument can go to rest now.

It could be a discussion about how rumors get started. I'd get involved in that discussion. Basing a rumor on a rumor sounds interesting.



well thats only single player missions. What about free roaming single player, and multiplayer. theres well over 100 hours, well over.
