well all that into 69 missions is what gives the story the rushed feeling. it feels like everything is really condensed.
I read somewhere they said the story is shorter because many people find the story too long to finish. that's a load of bullshit if it's true, because you're just selling your biggest fans short and if the people who didn't finish were actually interested to finish they would finish...
IV had 100 missions and San Andreas had like 150
the lack of missions in V is by far the biggest disappointment and the only thing I could say I'm actually disappointed about. yes it has some other flaws like every other game but nothing 'disappointing' like the short story..
