I agree!

The dungeons are laughably short, even the final one, the bosses are honestly pretty dull, and it uses the open world to padd the game more than enrich it, imo.

this is the most meaningless thing you can possibly say about anything

It really isn't. It's a very fun game if you aren't looking for a Zelda game, but if you're hoping for the things that typically make the series - particularly the huge dungeons, the sense of progression as you gain new items throughout the game, and the engaging boss battles with interesting mechanics - you're going to be disappointed.

Also, honest advice, if you hate your current job and you have something with potential, the worst you can do is ignore it. Ignore the commute, take the job, give it a chance. If you don't like it, if the commute is too much, if it just doesn't work, at least you'll be out of a job you hate and you'll have tried something that intrigued you - that'll matter to you more later, even if you don't like the job itself.

Which is almost as bad as the fact they shot over 100 rounds into a truck with two innocent women and only caused relatively minor injuries.

Definitely wait for a sale. It's not even uncommon for Crusader Kings, so you might not have to wait that long.

One thing I didn't mention is that the $75 that I mentioned above is with deals that I found on g2a.com, and some of those are DIRT cheap (i.e. The Old Gods for $1.17). Idk if the expansions ever go on sale for that cheap, tbh.

Ah well. The Steam Summer Sale is in like 2 weeks. I can at least wait that long to see what kind of deals there are.

Don't use G2A. They are one of the shadiest markets for PC gaming, and there are illegal keys on there all over.

I guess the question with GTAO and their games is how much time of playing is realistic to complete and own everything the game offers? Because I understand Rockstar entirely wanting to milk people playing and paying as much as possible but at the same time think there needs to be a better balance.

But you'll never get rid of companies making their "100% complete" goal impossible, simply because there's profit to expand more.

Like I said, if you're not having fun before you're close to earning something new, it's bad, but the majority seem to feel that isn't the case in GTA online.

Not really. Taking a good deal of effort doesn't make it anti-consumer, anti-consumer is if you have to put in a significant amount of time before the game is fun without spending money. And again, tons of people find it fun without spending money.

I will say the things people have brought up about quality of life things like fighting hackers and friends list are a reasonable complaint though, and given how much it has made should've been addressed by now.

Deliberately compromising the quality of your product to sell microtransactions is the definition of an anti-consumer practice. And wanting content that rockstar repeatedly directly stated was coming has nothing to do with "entitlement" no matter how badly you want to scream those words with teary eyes.
