dad would've loved gta 6, grew up on vice city with him
I'm 29 now. Dad passed last September. He's the whole reason I got into Rockstar games in the first place. My earliest memory is us playing Vice City together. I'd just run around not really knowing what was going on, but I loved the shooting and the jet pack. He'd print out cheat codes for me so I could have unlimited weapons. Back when you actually had to print that stuff off.
Then San Andreas came out and we played two player all the time. He loved the music. I can't remember the station name but it played Hollywood Swinging by Kool and the Gang, his favorite band. The radio DJ used to crack us up. He bought me an Xbox 360 and I played GTA IV with my friends, then GTA V. But all those years in between, he'd still be on the PS2 playing San Andreas. Man, I wish I could go back to that.
Now GTA 6 is coming and he won't be around for it at all. That's a weird feeling. I really hope they put that retro station in again. It'd mean a lot to hear those songs while driving around Vice City. Thank you Rockstar, and thank you Dad.
