A trip back in time gone wrong.

I haven't actually finished the game yet, but as far as I've been through the missions, I must say that this is the result of 2K's tomfoolery and incompetence. Some of the side quests are downright mundane, like warning Giuseppe's friends, to ridiculously infuriating, like driving a BMW coupe to a garage, all while under time pressure, traffic and the threat of a bomb exploding if you go too slow.

The freeroam, non-linear nature of the DLC, like in the Jimmy expansions, was excusable especially for a GTA fan like me, but it didn't bring out the same dramatic experience as with the main game, and was more of an excuse for gutting out parts of the game and selling them like Gilette razor blades or Epson carts.

To make it short, all I can say is that it's mostly an exercise in schadenfreude by people who were given an aspirin overdose, just for the sake of milking people's cash for something that they shouldn't have been paying for.
