    My memory is foggy, but didn't you have to do those like hella firefighter missions and improve your stats before doing the final boss? Rockstar does it right

    It's a Platinum game so there's more of an emphasis on combat than anything, but there are enough RPG elements that you'll probably get some enjoyment out of it.

    Game is 10/10 anyway and worth playing no matter what you're into

    Was there a final boss? I always thought it was do the same thing until you get s--- like being fireproof or no medical bills when you die or like your guns don't get confiscated when you die s--- like that

    I do remember in vice city you have a final boss battle with a taxi company after taking over a taxi business s--- was lit

    All I do is side stuff... so much to the point that I get burnt out on the game and never finish the main quest. I cleared every single icon off the lower left bottom of Witcher 3 map and never touched the game again. Right now in Zelda I've only done 1 main quest dungeon... yet I have full ancient armor, the master sword, a surplus of items... I have a bad habit of doing too much and getting bored

    yea i find it very rare for games to find that middle ground...i feel like 40-60 sidequests is the best possible number...but most games give you infinite number of repeated sidequests

    In SA, the final mission was Big Smoke hiding in a safehouse and you couldn't complete the mission unless you boosted up your skills by doing side missions, so in that aspect, a player who took the time to explore could go into the mission, where as a linear guy would need to spend additional hours just to finish the game.

    Side quest should be completed unless the main story has a frustrating mission for this reason. Games rarely even rewards players for getting x amount of coins or collectables anymore. A trophy/achievement doesn't do it for me.

    Depends on the game and the amount of side missions/quests.

    If I'm in love with the game I aim to 100% it. Most of the time you're spammed with side quests the point you clear a few, decide to continue main story and another 3 or so pop up. s--- is like a g.d. hydra.

    Nier had an achievement where it's unlocked by completing the game in under 20 hours. I got it, but skipped a bunch of side stuff along the way.

    I think anything that ISN'T made for the main story/quest can be a side mission of some sorts. Like I think certain side missions can make your gameplay a lot smoother so they recommend you to do it
