Erm, right. That was a bit short, wasn’t it? Yeah, so I have 11 of the 12 races left, and some of the gang warfare stuff, but I’ve done everything else. And it took me about 8 hours.
I’m sure I read somewhere that The Lost and Damned expansion was supposed to provide “around 35 hours” extra gameplay. If so, I’d love to know where it was.
Not that it really matters as I enjoyed it all anyway. At first I wasn’t sure, but I soon got sucked into the story and really liked all the crossover stuff with Nico. The final mission was the easiest mission in GTA history, though, so was a little disappointing. Every other GTA finale has been stupidly hard requiring $hlmun retries, but not this time. Again though, it didn’t really matter.
More DLC on the way, Rockstar?
Did you go to the Comedy Club to see Frankie Boyle? Apparently the next DLC is rumoured to be based around Luis Fernando Lopez – no idea when it will be out though.
Where the hell did you read “35 hours” the original game was only just about that long!
I’ve only ever seen claims of 9-10 hours, considering you’ve done it in 8 hours and still have bits left to do, that’s probably not unreasonable. Especially as you’re a more seasoned gamer and will naturally progress faster than many.
Well, I got over 100 hours gameplay out of the main game. 35 hours for the main *story* is about right, but for TLAD I remember reading previews on several sites that said it added 35 hours of gameplay.
Of course, the new story is only 8 or 9, but I was expecting side missions and stuff to knock it up to 35. Yes, there are races and gang warfare things to increase the length, but surely not to 35 hours. Unless the 50 hidden seagulls you have to kill are stupidly difficult to find.
Oh and Neil – yes, I saw Frankie Boyle at the comedy club. All the material was stuff I’d seen on Mock the Week though!
