I read somewhere a speedy, minimalistic path through the game requires 25 hours and playing all sidequests will take hundreds of hours. Where on earth would anyone with any sort of life get time to play this DLC? Sorry but these nutso-long games don't make a lot of sense to me. It would be okay if the time consumed was actually playing, but it's mostly cutscenes. Story-telling? I don't want to be told a story, that's something toddlers ask their mom to do. I want to be interacting and making things happen, playing not watching. Dying Light I really enjoyed but the main campaign minus side quests was just too damn time consuming. GTA 5 also is longer than it needs to be honestly, the one saving grace is that I've found it to be a pretty good game for putting down for a few days, coming back to just to do 2-3 missions, etc. The biggest difference is that GTA 5, for sixty bucks, gives you crazy multiplayer options. I had already spent something like 30 hours of MP time on GTA before I even started the SP campaign (sadly that's what you have to do with a new release because nobody will be playing MP six months from now).
