With the long-awaited release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 inching closer, gamers around the world are analyzing all aspects of the game. Lately, there have been raging discussions taking place on the widely popular r/GTA6 subreddit forum on what is considered to be the most optimal time length for the GTA 6 story campaign.
Although information about the actual plotline of Grand Theft Auto 6 has been kept under wraps by Rockstar Games, Reddit users appear to have divided opinions on this matter.
Fans Want 60 Hours of Storyline for GTA 6
Many fans are quick to argue that after a wait of well over a decade, it is important for the next installment to be nothing short of spectacular. Fans who take this position often cite Red Dead Redemption 2, which reportedly took almost 50 hours to complete, as the ultimate bar of storytelling by Rockstar Games.
Reddit users who subscribe to this view would like the game to be around 70 to 80 hours long, featuring extensive character growth for Lucia and Jason, the main characters.
The “Quality Over Quantity” Camp: 40-50 Hours
In contrast, there is also a considerable number of players who prefer their game more tightly knit and full of action. These people claim that the story of GTA 5, taking roughly 32 hours to finish, was perfectly paced.
They believe that having the plot span 70 hours may lead to boring “filler” tasks. In their opinion, the best length for GTA 6 should be about 40 to 50 hours long.
Though there is still an ongoing discussion about whether the number of hours is accurate, Reddit users have come to an agreement that players will always give preference to a detailed, immersive world to explore. They are of the opinion that if the side quests and world events are engaging enough, then the hours spent playing the main story will not be very important.
