gta-hype Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Only 69 missions? In GTA IV there was about 94 missions! The difference is about 30 ! Why is the story so short?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realistic Steak Cult Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I assume you didnt play GTA 4 nor GTA 5 GTA 4 story tl;dr : Drive there shoot him/ them / blow this GTA 5 story tl;dr : Do different thing in every mission which is long and complex Sigfyy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poklane Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) ''Number of missions = story length'' is a wrong assumption. I completed the IV story in like 26 hours, I'm currently not at 1/3rd of the missions in V with almost 11 hours played, so the story will take me around 33 hours.

KillaDanny Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 in the guide it says 82 primary missions which means the heist (and some other primary stuff) is not counted in to the 69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneHaughey Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Mission length seems to be longer, and there are a few which can vary wildly depending on who you play. I also think side missions have been beefed up considerably. Workin' my way through V so I am by no means an expert, but it appears to be around the same level of content in terms of player missions of good caliber.

gta-hype Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Number of missions = story lenght is wrong. I completed the IV story in like 26 hours, I'm currently not at 1/3 of the missions in V with almost 11 hours played, so the story will take me around 33 hours. I dont think you have used 11 hours to finish 1/3 of the main missions, which is 23 missions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having played through most of V's missions, they are on average longer and have better replay value, and that doesn't count the ability to replay missions for better scores or beefed up side missions for characters. If anything, V is superior to IV in the mission department in terms of mission content, variety, and quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--Vega-- Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 These missions are lot more indepth than IV and 100% will take you a lot longer than IV's 100% would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNero Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) its 82 missions. but you only do 69 for 1 playthrough cause you can decide between several options in 1 heist. ( loud or quiet for example ) so to play all 82 you have to replay the heists twice or 3 times with all the given options and 69 is not short. RDR had 58 and it felt not short at all Edited September 17, 2013 by iNero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still 30 missions between these two! Dude, don't you understand? The thirty missions could be only about simple "go to X and kill Y" and each of them would be like 5 minutes long. Do you prefer that? Don't ever make that assumption that less missions = less story length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727gta Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The missions so far seem in depth instead of go there and shoot that guy. I'd rather 30 less missions so long they have some sort of variety to them (which GTA V has) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Smoke Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm with 19 missions and eight hours, but sh*t, these side-missions are cool as hell, and its f*cking fun customize your carachter, buy stuff online. Love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 If you've been playing, you'll know this game gets into things far quicker. The slow micro-missions that you normally have to go through at the start don't exist, it throws you into the action far quicker than past GTA's. I've played it most the day, and there's no sign of this being a shorter game. SchwartzJesuz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneHaughey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 What is side missions? Side missions are missions that are not essential for the story. In GTA IV you had stranger missions and some side missions but in terms of one-and-done content missions, the main story provided the overwhelming bulk. And it showed- mission variety blew and the game started off very slow. In GTA V, side missions are more in depth and there a lot more of them, and the various assortment of mission-type activities means that while the story still provides the bulk, there is a *lot* of missions outside of it. In terms of quantity I'd put the numbers very close, with GTA V having the clear superiority in terms of quality, replayability, variety, and length.

And even odd jobs like Taxi driving feel more "worth it" than in IV. I can spend ages just picking up fares, taking them where they want to go, then exploring that part of the map that I might not have been to otherwise, then hop back in the cab, call in another job and discover a new place. There's always something happening that you can get involved in too, stoppping criminals, or helping them escape by shooting the police (the non-scripted random events). Not to mention that this is GTA - with a bit of imagination you can set up your own "missions" if you like.. Rob a store & evade the cops, shoot a car on the freeway and chase it until you can kill the driver, Steal a plane from the airport and save it in your hangar etc. If you stop playing a sandbox game after the story is complete, you may as well buy a linear shooter imo.

wiizardii Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The 69 count is wrong. There are like 80 missions in total. In this instance, R* wanted to give the player their own choice and freedom. For a good example are the missions where one of Michaels family members call you to help them. You have the choice to say Yes or No. So thats why does missions that are optional are not counted. They should be, since they are still a part of the game and a part of the primary storyline. Btw, if you dont do the optional missions, you might not be able to get the 100% completion on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lelouch The Zero Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Short? To me, this game was longer than GTA IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John The Grudge Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 In GTA V all the missions that weren't central to the plot were listed seperately as Strangers and Freaks missions. In GTA IV they're all just bundled in together. So GTA V has more missions than GTA IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventhreeo Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It took me less time to complete GTA 5 than it did 4, and the same time to finish GTA SA, +/- a few hours. "Quality over quantity" people say, but I'll admit it was a decent game. Sure was short though, for a 5 year game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
