I’ll be the first to admit, I was never really a Grand Theft Auto series fan. The frustrating and tedious mission structure combined with not really caring about the “open world sandbox” gameplay style combined to turn me off from the series after playing a few hours.
However, we’re in the next generation of game consoles now, and I’ve become a bit more open minded and patient with my games. The fact that every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there rushed to throw the highest review scores possible on this game didn’t hurt either.
So one week after getting the game, I finished the main story with about 26 hours and 15 minutes and 62.15% completion according to the game’s stat list. I mainly plowed through the story missions using taxi rides and did a bit of the friend/dating relationships management.
Was it the really best game of the last decade?
