Grand Theft Auto 5 is Rockstar's worst game, but GTA 6 makes me optimistic again

Beginning in 1997, Grand Theft Auto has been a platform for Rockstar to expound its version of satire. The cast of the original GTA is a nihilistic rogue's gallery of corrupt cops and seedy politicians. The poster that comes in the game's box says it was co-developed by 'The Hand of Satan,' marking the first of many middle fingers that Rockstar has raised to good taste. But in Grand Theft Auto 4, and protagonist Niko Bellic, Rockstar becomes more sympathetic, more humanist.
