Will you ration your GTAV storyline?

I'll play story mode until I get some cool toys or find a fun area to muck around in. Since I don't know how the story starts that could take 5 min or 5 hours. Either way it'll be at my own pace, and I don't mind pressing the new game button at all. I did that at least a dozen times for all GTA's from III onward, and RDR.

I still haven't finished IV, those missions got real boring. Hoping V will be better.

I typically do.

 

I play a few storyline missions to get started then run around the map checking off loads of tasks and side activities, then "reward" myself by playing a couple of more storyline missions. When the end is in site I settle up all my loose ends before proceeding past 99%. Pretty much the way I've always done it.

The truth is I don't really play GTA games for the story. Sure, there are some awesome missions which is why I still do play the story, but in the end what makes GTA GTA is the stuff you can do outside of missions.

 

I'm free roaming in BOGT right now.

I'll try to play it with the ingame time:

 

On workweeks:

Save/sleep 24:00

Wake up 06:00

Walk, drive or do a side activity 07:00

Go do a mission at 18:00

If there's time after the mission do something fun.

Save/sleep 24:00.

 

On weekends:

After a mission on Friday, go get drunk or something.

Saturday: Hang out with friends.

Sunday: Go to the beach or do play something relaxing like golf.

 

And so on.

 

I tried it while playing TBOGT and it was pretty cool.
