I’m shocked these games still have single-player stories.

They're typically some of my favorite stories. And after everyone stopped trying to chase GTA, we don't get all that many crime stories anymore either.

I still like to go back and replay Sleeping Dogs. It's probably one of the best non-GTA GTA game ever made.

And it always makes me want Chinese food.

A Man Who Never Eats Pork Buns, Is Never A Whole Man!

Also, Saints Row II would like a word. :)

GTA 5 was honestly great storytelling, with the very interesting narrative device to see the story through 3 points of view. I've replayed that story a dozen times, each time I enjoy it

In that announcement trailer for VI, we see what I assume to be the protagonist(s) bursting into a shop, guns drawn. Imo it'd be interesting to play as two parts of a romantic relationship based around crime and a twisted sense of trust. It would add interesting RP mechanics to the strip clubs that'll inevitably be in the game, kinda like the first phone call Franklin gets from Tonya when he's at the strip club in V.

I get that vibe too, when they were in the bedroom it felt like we weren't either one of those characters but both. If they can pull it off like 5 it'll be really interesting. But I'm worried they put main story on the back burner for online crap.
