Playing Vice City Convinced Me That GTA 6 Is Focused On The Wrong Thing

The two trailers released for Grand Theft Auto 6 so far are undeniably impressive, but the more I sit with the second trailer, the less I'm convinced that it's impressive in a way that really matters.GTA has spent decades pushing boundaries, both in a technical sense and in its habitual affront to moralizing parties. The series would never have become so special if GTA 3 hadn't been willing to explore the limits of open-world game design at a time when the concept had barely expanded beyond the RPG scene, but the bounds being tested have radically changed.
