In we come, to settle that with old school homicide throughout a wee chain of latest story missions. The ones I’ve seen are pretty customary GTA missions with the driving and the taking pictures and that, although I’m fairly certain one of many new characters is voiced by Chris Parnell (of Archer, SNL, 30 Rock, and Rick & Morty fame) in order that’s good.
