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?

He has to pump up the 360 version now that the IGN review has revealed that the PS3 version looks better (anti-aliasing) and runs better (far less pop-in).

He'll make the game sound as short as he possibly can to inflate the importance of the DLC (which he'll try to make sound as long as he possibly can).

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

Er, why else are you on a gaming forum?

 


discussion of what? The first rumour? the second rumour? or the rumour based on another rumour?


Well you can discuss the rumours if you want.  But what I think the focus of this thread should be is the fact that Sony's "you don't need DLC because the game is HUGE already" argument is now well and truly debunked.
25-45 hours for just the main story missions is pretty huge.  I don't think I ever spent that much on the storyline missions in the previous games, but was still able to play them for hundreds of hours.

How is this argument debunked if the game is still large? 25-40 hours is a lot of time and that's if you play the game straight into the missions, most people will probably spend 45-60 hours i think.

i agree, going only striaght into missions will probably be 40 hours. thats still alot of time, considering i still play san andreas and vice city just for the free roaming and police chases.

Based on the review, I assume if you went straight through the missions you would be done in 25 hours.........

 


 Actually, depends on the skill of the player. 25 for the hardcore and 40 for the noobs, according to IGN.

 even if you can justify the motive, claiming superiority of DLC that we know nothing about is pretty sad. At least people at Microsoft knows enough to NOT advertise it right now.

Actually the IGN review found that there wasn't a noticable difference significant enought to allocate different scores.  That doesn't tally with their history whenever there has been noticable differences between versions of games.

In this case, I've directly quoted game length from the same review your using to put down the 360.  As for the DLC length, all we have to go on in the rumours it will be ten hours long.  Frankly I'm disappointed in that figure, as I expected it to be longer.

Well I got 100% on GTA3, VC and SA, and finished LCS on PS2. And it all takes well over 60-70 hours to get 100%, and the main story takes about 30 hours to finish. I'll once again get 100% on GTA4, and will eventually play GTA VCS when I buy a PSP.

(I believe) Vice City Stories is on the Ps2 also, so you dont have to wait for a PsP.

The ten hours was said by R* who said that the game would be 80hours, so if the game is 25 hours then you are going to pay 20-30 dollars for each 3hours of bonus stuff
