I bet I’m not in the minority of people who started GTA and never completed the final mission.

You can say what you will of Witcher 3 but the campaign was compelling enough to actually bother completing.

GTA games are a blast for a while but I’ve never finished any of them. I’ve played them all and somewhere about half way to 2/3rds in I just stop playing.

The vast majority of people who buy rockstars games don’t finish them. They buy them because tehy are the popular anarchy sim. They drive around, blow shyt up, get chased by police, beat people up, shoot down helicopters and call it day. They may squeeze a few missions in before calling it a wrap. RDR2 is in the same vain, they just bought it due to popularity/hype and thinking it was GTA cowboy edition.

Red Dead Redemption 2 | 22%

Despite releasing three months ago, Red Dead Redemption 2 comes in with only a fifth of its players having completed Arthur Morgan’s adventure. Some of that can be attributed to the open world title’s massive scope, and it will likely go up a bit as time continues, but it also speaks to the fact that a lot of people don’t care all that much about getting the complete story. Simply roaming the Wild West and playing cowboy is more than enough for many, and as long as they have that sort of playground at their disposal then they don’t care to finish it.

Compare this to a game like persona 5 who’s main game is almost TWICE as long

Persona 5 | 34.8%

Few games are as lengthy as Persona 5. A quick run of Atlus’ marquee role-playing game will take around 60 hours, and more thorough ones can last well over 100. Despite this barrier to entry, over a third of players wound up making the Phantom Thieves a success. While it is impressive that so many players dived deep into the RPG, it still goes to show that the bulk of players aren’t finishing titles, even when they focus on telling captivating stories.

It has a significantly higher completion because people actually care about the story and are invested in the characters. Most people dont even have the time to play super long games, the people who want long story driven games are in a minority of people. Most Rockstar fans are just casuals gamers. shyt drake posted about red dead redemption, knowing damn well he didnt play past the intro.
