Tbh i wouldn’t mind a story that is just 30 hours so long as it’s higher quality.
GTA 6's story might be 35 40 hours long despite its rumored huge map
A longer story doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better.

They could keep it at that.
But only if its 30 hours like san andreas and gta iv. Gta v was 30 hours too but a large chunk of story missions were random filler.

Vice city (2002) and grand theft auto: Gta 5 was about 31 hours long for main story and 83 hours long for 100% completion, and rdr2 is about 50 hours long for main story and 182 hours for 100% how long do you want gta 6 to be? Long story or short story? I would love seeing the main story be atleast 100 hours.
Gta 5 had less missions than san andreas and 4 but the majority of 5’s missions were longer. Rdr2 had over 100 missions and most of them the same length of gta 5. Rdr2 also had the most side missions of any rockstar game. Do you think the gta 6 story will be the same length as rdr2?

R* is creating a sequel anyways. I'd expect the same with gta 6, it doesn't die until r* decides so. Gta 6s main story could be 70 hours maximum no side missions included. To 100% gta 6, im guessing around 150 to 200 hours max, and i think a regular playthru meaning main story missions and majority of side content/missions will probably be 80 hours could even reach 100 hours of gameplay.
I think gta 6's story might be the best story gta has ever had. As in long after gta had already established itself and been recognised…(for its story and Gta 6 story will be short? In this video, i answer your questions regarding the story length, trailer 2, movie references, state of the
