Crime.
Am I talking aboutGTA 6or Baby Driver?
Well, both, I hope.
Not that Red Dead Redemption 2 is anything like Baby Driver, but…
I promise Im going somewhere with this.
I Hope GTA 6 Harlem Shuffles Its Way Into My Heart
Okay, lock in.
GTA 5 had a story, sure.
I mean, even the trailers didnt really do much to sell it as more than this.
Hell, maybe even just the best characters, period.
So where does Baby Driver come into this conversation?
He meets a young woman and they fall in love.
Are you still with me?
After this, he settles his debt and should therefore be free to leave and set his life straight.
But uh oh, big bad man says no.
Surely We Can All Agree Crime Is Just… Mostly Not Great, Right?
To this end, a GTA game played as a good guy would be no fun, right?
Im not 13, I dont think its cool anymore.
Theres even a small clip in GTA 6s reveal trailer that reminds me of Baby Driver in other ways.
Maybe its just because its the two characters in a car with music blasting.
The only bits of the main characters we see present them in a nonchalant-about-crime way, which worries me.
But then Red Dead 2s trailers did the same thing, and I was happily proven wrong about that.
Maybe I will be here.
I hope I am.
I just want GTA to mean something.
I want the writers to do what they do best.
I dont want gold-plated cars and high-octane violence.
RDR2 gave me this close-knit family ofhumans, while GTA 5 gave me a trio of stereotypes.
