4. Extra Mission Strands/Side Quests
Grand Theft Auto V is going to be huge, bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV
combined. On top of exploring a sprawling, ceaseless terrain, there will also be missions to complete, side quests to be tended too, and other weird and wacky occurrences to experience. The thought of having "nothing to do" probably doesn't cross your mind. But when the main storyline has been beaten, and the last, big boss has been buried, and the side quests become repetitive, as with all GTA games in the past, there will come a time where we've done everything worth doing. There isn't a game on the market today that has unlimited replay value - how many of you are still playing GTA IV? That's what I thought. But with DLC, Rockstar can expand the title's longevity by at least a few extra months, and by giving us a new mission strand to beat, a few extra characters to meet and a couple of additional side quests, they'd be ensuring we're all still playing two years from today.
