With GTA VI almost here, can I also get back all the free time I had when I played GTA as a kid?

My GTA memories go back to playing San Andreas on the PlayStation 2 with my brother. We had a modded console with lots of games, but I loved being able to wander around and see what I could get up to in GTA. Depending on the day, I followed the story, or I drove around. We made our own fun.

Later, I played GTA V and spent more time in Los Santos with Michael, Franklin and Trevor. It was fun to switch to another character and see what they were up to. Poor Trevor was always in the worst possible scenarios. I completed missions with all three, although I never finished the game. I made progress, okay? I would like that acknowledged before anyone asks why I'm excited about GTA VI when I have unfinished business in GTA V. 

The cool thing about GTA is I can mess around in the city or follow a story and work through missions if I feel like it. There are times I get caught up in the story and want to finish many missions in a row, but if I get tired of it or get stuck, I can also get distracted in the city, see where I end up, and do secondary missions. When I feel ready to try the failed mission again, I know the story is waiting there for me.

  • Now I'm looking forward to exploring Vice City in GTA VI and the state of Leonida. We are all counting down the days to November 19. Don't expect anything from me that day. I'll be playing on my couch the entire afternoon! I have work and studying to fit into my day now, so I'll need to be realistic about that promise. But my girlfriend knows she needs to get her last hug before November 19. She's already been warned. Have you warned yours?

  • It's exciting to have another GTA to explore because I know how easily I can spend hours in these games. Give me a city and a car, and I'll find something to do. And now I'm not only talking about the game. I also like that plan in real life. I'll find time for that after completing a couple of GTA VI missions.
