Literally anything new that comes out about GTA 6 gets a crazy amount of hate for some reason; no matter how good the game will be, this will probably be another TLOU2 scenario on Metacritic.

Ive really enjoyed the new trailer, I cant seem to understand the hate for it? I mean its a game and not real life

I’ve seen so many posts complaining that the launch trailer looks bad, blurry, dark, or overly yellow. Have people seriously forgotten that filters exist? Rockstar clearly applied a stylistic filter to achieve the specific atmosphere and aesthetic they wanted for the trailer. That doesn’t mean the graphics have gotten worse, nor does it mean the actual game is going to have a permanent yellow tint. It’s a stylistic choice for the trailer, not necessarily a reflection of how the game will look when we play it. Honestly, it hurts my brain seeing so many people struggle to understand something as simple as a visual filter.

So I’ve recently started seeing a girl called Lucy. She’s lovely, really attractive, good job, her own flat. We’ve been together about three weeks and things have been going pretty well.

Her name obviously caught my attention initially. Lucy. Lucia. I don’t really believe in coincidences, especially ones that significant.

Only slight issue is she’s not really into gaming.

Which is absolutely fine. Everyone has different interests. I’ve shown her the GTA 6 trailers a few times now and she says they look good, although she still struggles to identify Jason. Even when I pause it and point him out.

I’m trying to be patient.

The bigger issue is she’s just not particularly cool under pressure.

Last weekend she got quite flustered trying to reverse into a parking space outside Nando’s. I didn’t say anything initially, but after her third attempt I quietly asked, “Are you a professional?”
She got annoyed and said “OF COURSE I’M A PROFESSIONAL. I WORK IN HR.”

I explained that’s not really what I meant.

She’s brought it up several times since, which seems unnecessary.

Similar thing happened in Tesco on Tuesday. We were walking down the frozen food aisle when I leaned over and whispered, “We need to get out of here.”

She asked why.

I said “Just trust me.”

She said we hadn’t paid and still needed dishwasher tablets.

I don’t expect her to be Lucia, obviously, but a little spontaneity wouldn’t hurt.

I’ve also started saying “trust” whenever she leaves the room. Just quietly, in Jason’s voice. I think it’s a nice way of reinforcing our connection.

Initially she thought it was sweet, but she’s become increasingly hostile about it.

Yesterday she got up to use the toilet and I said “trust.”

She shouted “CAN YOU PLEASE STOP DOING THAT?”

Which is a strange reaction to someone expressing trust.

There was another slightly awkward moment when I introduced her to a friend as Lucia.

She immediately corrected me.

I laughed it off, but she was genuinely annoyed. Her actual name is Lucy, so we’re talking about two additional letters. Hardly a complete personality change.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to make more of an effort romantically, so I bought her a really nice ankle bracelet.

It’s got a built-in GPS tracker, which I thought was a thoughtful touch. Obviously I’m not suggesting she needs monitoring, but if we’re going to be spending more time together it makes sense to know where we both are.

She asked why I’d bought her an electronic tag.
I explained it’s an ankle bracelet. The tracking functionality is just an additional feature.
She asked whether I’d already connected it to my phone.

I said yes, but only to check it worked.

That turned into quite a big argument.

She said it was controlling and invasive. I said it was a gift, and a fairly expensive one at that.
She asked whether I was being serious.

I asked if she was a professional.

She started crying.

I’ve been reflecting on everything and I do appreciate that relationships involve compromise. Lucy has her own personality and I would never want to change that.

But equally, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect someone to put a little effort in.

I’m not asking her to rob a bank. I’m asking her to show some composure in a Nando’s car park, occasionally improvise in Tesco and accept a perfectly nice piece of jewellery without turning it into a police matter.

She’s now saying she needs some space, which I completely respect.

Although she did leave the bracelet at my flat, so I’m not entirely sure how she expects me to know where she is.

Anyway, am I being unreasonable here? I feel like I’m making all the compromises and she’s not really meeting me halfway.

Trust.

For those planing to eat snacks or oder take out on launch of gta 6 what ya'll getting?

Debating if I should get this on the series S or buy a brand new console just to get the most of the game but not sure if it's actually worth it, thoughts and opinions?

I don't wanna kill anyone's hype, I'm just as excited for GTA VI as you guys.

But look at this comparison from GTA V. The launch trailer showed way more NPCs than what we actually got in the game.

And the crazy part? That trailer came out just around two weeks before release. So it's not like Rockstar didn't know what the PS3 and Xbox 360 could handle by then.

I'm not saying GTA VI will be the same, just saying we shouldn't assume everything we see in the trailer will look exactly the same in-game.

Keep the hype, just don't set your expectations too high.

It sounded pretty normal in the launch trailer.

Imagine getting busted in GTA 6 because Jason's too fat to outrun the cops.

Remember back in San Andreas when you could hit the gym, get CJ all jacked, or just eat your way into a completely different body type?

Well, there's talk of Rockstar bringing something like that back for Jason and Lucia in GTA 6.

Imagine spending all this time getting Jason in shape, hitting the gym, eating right, doing everything properly. Then you get bored and start feeding this man burgers every day.

Three weeks later, bro looks like he ate the entire Cluckin' Bell menu.

But......there's a catch!

What if your weight actually affects your stamina?

Imagine robbing a bank, taking off from the cops, and Jason's already fighting for air halfway down the block. All that planning just to get caught because this man couldn't put down the burgers.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd love that level of detail.

Nothing's officially confirmed about how a diet or fitness system would work, but if Rockstar brings back what we had in San Andreas and builds on it, I'm all for it.

I'm curious though, would you guys actually keep Jason and Lucia in shape, or just let them go completely off the rails?

And should weight affect gameplay, or just change how your character looks?

Because I already know somebody's gonna turn Jason into Big Smoke.

In Gta IV and V the FIB and IAA play a major role in the main stories, IAA for Niko and FIB for Michael, Franklin and Trevor.

But, in those games we were in Liberty City and Los Santos while now we are going to be in Vice City where they didn't exist before during the 3d era.

So do you think they'll make an appearance and play a part in the story since both HD games have had them be a driving force in the stories.

Or will they do like San Andreas were the main bad guys are the corrupt cops, but instead of Tenpenny its Mendez.

What do you guys think?

Jason, can you leak some more GTA 6 gameplay for us?

I don’t understand why they’re able to leave reviews without purchasing the game.

Had this thought as I read a news story about a guy that did a pre-meditated violent crime a few weeks before release. Like, dam, he won't get to play GTA 6, what an idiot! Which made me think a lot of people are potentially holding off on doing stupid shit so they don't miss out on the game so close to release. Same for death rates - dive from this bridge into a river? Nah mate, need to be able to play GTA.

Anyone found themselves steering away from risky behaviour as the launch gets closer?

Is everyone on as excited as gta 6 as me? It’s coming out a few days after my birthday! What are some things you have heard in the game that is true also what is something you wish you could do? I would like to be able to travel other major cities, like liberty city or Los santos. I want to hear your thoughts.

GTA 6 ultimate edition or every currently released piece of merch (magazines, controller, collectors box, etc) but you get the standard edition and you can't upgrade for at least a year?

I personally would pick the ultimate edition, because the merch is cool, but isn't appealing that much for me.

but what about you?

Am I the only one who feels something is off about GTA VI’s writing?

GTA has always been my favourite gaming franchise. I own the entire collection, and some of my favourite gaming experiences come from replaying Vice City, GTA IV, GTA V, and Red Dead Redemption.

However, ever since Trailer 1 for GTA VI came out, something has felt off to me.
The game looks absolutely incredible, and I have no doubt that Rockstar will deliver an impressive open world. What worries me, though, is the writing.

From what we’ve seen so far, everything feels a little… flat. I’m not getting the same sense of satire, anger, sadness, or drama that made previous Rockstar games so memorable. I know we’ve only seen a limited amount of footage, and trailers don’t necessarily reflect the quality of the final story, but I can’t shake this feeling.

It makes me wonder whether the problem is actually me.

I’m almost 30 now, and I don’t play nearly as many games as I used to. When I do feel like gaming, I often go back to the classics I love, such as Vice City, GTA IV, GTA V, and the Red Dead Redemption games. I still enjoy them immensely, even though I’m not as much of a gamer as I once was.

So, am I simply older now, more difficult to impress, and perhaps a little too attached to Rockstar’s previous work? Or is there genuinely something different about the writing we’ve seen so far considering also Dan Houser did not write a single line for this game?

I’m particularly concerned about the quality of the main story, the character development, and even the side missions. One of the things that made previous Rockstar games special was how their writing could be funny, satirical, disturbing, tragic, or surprisingly emotional. There was often something deeper beneath the surface-level chaos.

So far, I haven’t really felt that same spark from GTA VI’s promotional material.
Interestingly, the one character who has genuinely caught my attention is Raul Bautista who gives me strong Lalo Salamanca vibes. He seems to have the kind of personality and presence that could make for a genuinely compelling character.

Obviously, I’m not saying the game will be bad. I hope it turns out to be incredible, and I’d love to be proven wrong. I also understand that we’ve seen very little of the actual narrative.

But am I the only one who feels this way?

Do you think I’m simply getting older and losing some of my enthusiasm for gaming, or do you also feel that the writing and characters we’ve seen so far lack the depth, personality, and edge of Rockstar’s previous games?

lucia feet 🤤

The Theory Breakdown by the content creator TGG:

The Age Factor: Several community members, including the creator Frog, have noted that the character models in this specific car sequence appear noticeably younger than in other parts of the trailer, suggesting this is a flashback.

The Army Shirt Clue: Jason is wearing a US Army Marauder Combat Training School t-shirt. The creator points out that this is highly unusual since the game establishes Jason was dishonorably discharged and left the military on poor terms. It is unlikely he would continue to wear such specific branding unless the footage takes place while he was still active.

The Liberty City Connection: The shirt explicitly mentions the North Fort Law Army School. Geographical context within the GTA universe places North Fort Law just west of Liberty City. Given that Lucia is already known to be from Liberty City, this could serve as the narrative bridge that connects their origins and shows how they met long before the main events of the game.

Could this be the origin story of their partnership? We will find out soon! I really hope we get a good breakthrough on how they met. What do you think?

Comparing the first trailers to the new one do you think graphics downgraded or upgraded?

I don't even know why the game would get delayed again. It absolutely made no sense to me.

Edit: it seems some of you think I'm talking about all of the delays. I'm speaking about cyberleek releasing the build early. That is all.
