    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 remember Fear and Respect. Or at least, Game Informer's cover of it. Back then, Gamestop's loyalty card got you a year's subscription of Game Informer along with 10% off used games for 15 bucks. Which is an insanely good deal. You only needed to buy $150 worth of used games in a year for the card to pay for itself and get free magazines.
    I wonder if Midway's financial troubles were the reason they pulled the plug on this. PS2, Xbox, 360 and Ps3 versions of an open-world game, that must have been expensive. EA would do something similar with The GodFather, but that's EA with their massive pockets, being the largest 3rd party publisher of games at the time. With Midway eventually going out of business in 2010, the timeline almost fits with this game being cancelled in 2006.

    This video was awesome! I remember buying The Getaway near launch. It's so good. I can't tell you how many times I played the demo prior to release. 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. Not having 100% or near 100% health definitely makes the game harder. I can't wait for part 2. Keep up the good work!

    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.

    25tolife honestly is an underrated gem, multiplayer might be great but singleplayer story mode wasn't that bad either. Its ost was great too, and i don't even like rap/hiphop.
    I might be biased though since i did play the pc version.

      It’s definitely got it’s charms! Forsure the PC port is the way to go, I would love to give its multiplayer a try 😁
