I hope GTA 6 doesn’t dissolve into “toxic relationship” trope with Lucia and Jason

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I don't really care. GTA is about the world and gameplay for me. I can hardly remember the story of the ones I played. The most important thing is having a lot of pedestrians to run over and then running from the police. And occasionally do the missions.That's core GTA for me.

I feel like the storytelling was totally fine for the games they were made for, but they definitely didn't hit like the writing in RDR 1 & 2 for me. I'm optimistic we'll see a big improvement in that regard from GTAV.

But I'd agree that the story was just a means to letting you cut loose in the city.

I dont care. Story is usually good enough or above average for me as is.
The real important part is the city.

They arent as deep as RDR games and i honestly dont think they are meant to be.

Do you think you'll have to participate in mini games where both of them have to bang? Maybe QT events to change position?

Serious question as well. Let's be honest. Sex is perfectly natural and without it none of us would be here. Yet, sex in video games is still very taboo? Why? Why is it okay for me to blow heads off with a shotgun or ram a chainsaw through another human, but sex is completely banned?

You when playing

It's Rockstar, of course there will be some of that nonsense in there. I'm probably one of the 3 people alive who don't care for any of that in my games.

Let's be honest, with that stuff, timing is always perfect and that shit happens when your woman is in the room or walks by and you get to hear the non gamer "Oh so THATS why you game!!!!!" nonsense :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Literally every GTA game (or Rockstar game, for that matter) is filled to the brim with toxic relationships. In GTA it's a primary narrative point that drives the story forward. 3, Vice City, San Andreas, GTAIV and especially GTAV is just insane with how many toxic relationships it has - pretty much every relationship no matter if it's family, friend or business is completely fucked.

Would be nice if Lucia and Jason broke away from that mold.

Expecting moral uprightness out of either of the protagonists of a GTA game seems like an exercise in futility.

They're both going to be varying degrees of pieces of shit to each other. It's a dual protagonist game, can't see them forcing one to be "the bad one". In GTA V you can potentially kill off one of two, or neither.

I imagine the woman will be a total cunt and the guy a complete fucking idiot......at least that's what the majority of modern characters seem to give us these days......I've no idea if that results in a toxic relationship though,lol.

How will you bang hookers in the game without it jeopardizing the relationship between the main characters?
You won't bang hookers, because the ruthless outlaw Arthur Morgan who can choose to be a low morale character and is surrounded by blackjack, whiskey and brothels in every town, wasn't allowed to bang them either.

And that's honestly fine. As a porn addict even I don't want to see these awkward sex scenes in my movies or video games. They bring nothing to the table.

Toxic is too broad a brush. If he hits her once during an argument is it now an irredeemably toxic relationship? I am sure there will be conflict, but I don't think he is going to serially abuse her because she is their first female protagonist and she needs to be able to carry herself as a strong individual.
My guess he he dies before the end, or like near the end you have to choose one of them to die/go to jail and the other is able to carry on in the open world.

probably won't be super toxic but i can see them using the usual "couple disappointed in each other for a few reasons" at some points one way or another
 
I'd bet they have hard times in their relationship, play them separately some, and come back together. But more of a full of drama regular couple. Not betrayal type stuff.
But I bet they'll want to show the relationship up and downs and grow stronger, Bonnie and Clyde kinda stuff.

I hope they portray a minority couple as good and rather not fall in the toxic trope

(some people theorize that Jason isn't white but Latino or half latino)

What ya guys think, when GTA 6 releases what graphics card will be recommended?
I'd say 5060 recommended and RTX 3070 minimum.
It will for sure be a demanding game.

He's going to be toxic. She's going to put him in his place.

We all know it's going to happen.

Edit: am bookmarking this, so I can return after the game comes out, and luxuriate in my smug rightness.

What's unrealistic about woman putting in man in his place ?

I don't see Rockstar completely falling for the woke mind virus, i think they'll both be cunts with redeemable qualities. I also believe that their relationship will end with Jason betraying Lucia, and then having no choice but to kill him.

Agreed. He will fall into crime and she will bust him on it.

Everyone thinks the guy will be the cop. That's why this twist is so good.
undercover cops usually join orginizations, they wouldn't be doing duo bonnie and clyde type robberies
