    Niko Bellic is the most down to earth GTA character that feels remorseful for the people he’s killed and is trying to survive the horrible life he’s in where nobody is hiring but criminals.
    When he comes to America he finally got a break when Roman helps Nico by giving him a Taxi Job but not everything is what it seems because Roman is a Gambler who owes Money to Criminal getting Nico further into the Criminal Lifestyle to help Roman out of his Gambling problems.
    When Nico thought it was all over someone gets killed and Niko finishes unfinished business finally Nico can go legit.

      Wrong.
      GTA always sucked till GTA 4 saved the franchise.
      GTA 5 and GTA 6 is destroying GTA because Rockstar doesn’t care about making games anymore they are only interested in cash cowing GTA Online is why so many years has passed and GTA 6 is still not out.
      GTA 6 is only being made to cash cow GTA online even more.

      ​@@Vynsentit's not really that everyone gave up, it's just that gta is stupidly popular. Take for example the mafia franchise, it's still going yet it ain't so well known. And funny enough, take two has rights to both of them so it's obvious gta is their favorite child.
      Although, I have to admit, it's far more impressive what mafia is able to pull off considering the pretty low budget. I believe that it could be far more popular but take two is "supressing" it because they still want gta online to be their main source of income.

I think The Getaway gets some negative feedback because people didn't know you could lean on the wall to recover some of your health.

    I actually have a pretty funny story from high school and the "25 to life" game.
    So my neighbor borrowed the game from another neighbor. When they didn't give it back they threatened to shoot them or something.
    But the local news had a mini field day about it.
    Especially when the one kids mom called tht school and informed them first.
    "Are violent video games making children do violent crimes"? Was the headline.

    I've never even heard of Fear and Respect, but it sounds like it would've been amazing. Every single additional piece of information I heard just got me more hyped (and subsequently bummed it was scrapped).
    It really seems like they were close to pioneering several mechanics that would eventually become common. Plus, John Singleton writing and directing? It very likely would have cemented itself as a game that changed the industry completely. It sounds way ahead of its time.
    It'd be cool to see it picked back up today and actually get made. Singleton may be gone, but hopefully someone held onto the work he did on this.
    Genuinely bummed to know this almost happened, only to be scrapped at the 11th hour.

    I still have a bit of promo material that came in a PS Magazine around the time Getaway came out called Learn to speak Getaway: A to Z Guidebook. Sort of a mock travel brochure/booklet that contains info about locations in the game (with a map) , vehicles that were available to the player, and side activities (I think... I dont recall stuff like darts or bareknuckle boxing available in the game). It also had a bunch of 'ard as nails crook phrases with translation. Some of my faves were:
    Mop your chevy up; you're getting claret all over the boot of my car
    (Your face is bleeding all over my car trunk)
    Get your laughin' gear 'round that
    (Here's your drink)
    Anymore gyp and you'll be drinkin' a petrol shandy
    (Stop annoying me or I'll force gasoline down your throat)

I was hyped over true crime ny I think it was called, the one you play as Snoop. Snoop didn't even need a narrative, I don't even remember the plot. Just hype playing as Snoop.
