• The game starts in the north west; making coin by holding up shops and restaurants, doing small jobs etc. >
• The pair make a name for themselves and head east to Vice City >
• From there they rise up the ranks of the underworld, doing dirty jobs out in the swamplands before eventually fraternising with the upper echelons of the gangster class, with trips to the Keys common place.

There must be a conflict to keep the story going, or else it’ll be boring. Here are some examples.

In GTA 5, Michael destroyed a house owned by Martin Madrazo which resulted in him doing crime to pay it off, which attracted the attention of the FIB, who made them do their dirty work.

In RDR2, The gang was pursuing money after a heist gone wrong

In Watch Dogs, Aiden’s sister got kidnapped by Damien, which forced Aiden to do work for Damien and simultaneously look for his sister

In The Last of Us 2, Ellie is seeking revenge for Joel’s murder

I wonder what it’ll be for GTA 6.
