Lucia seems to be more of a loose cannon

Or it is because she is a woman. They are going for immersion and realism, which honestly that would be correct.

I had to take a terrorism class way back in the day. The instructor, who did a stint as a FBI hostage negotiator, calmly said to everyone - you do not negotiate with female terrorists if possible, try to find a male. He further went on, if bullets start flying, you take out female terrorists first.

He upset some ladies in there, but he had decades of experience. A woman's mind does not process logical outcomes the same as men.

Anyone saying Lucia is a girl boss are probably better off sticking to watching dudes on YouTube bitch about "The Message" or whatever nonsense they get fed.

I mean, when development started having tidbits come out a decade ago, it was heavily rumored that GTA VI would have a female lead. It wasn’t until 3 or so years ago that they announced a male character would be playable. I think from the beginning they wanted to have a female lead but thankfully higher ups saw how disastrous that would be and forced them to add Jason.

Hell there are have been devs on record saying they’re tying to be more conscious about who they make fun of and trying not to be “misogynistic”. So it’s not crazy to assume she is going to be very “girl bossy”

I’m still buying the game and am excited about it, but I fully expect some bullshite in regards to Lucia being the “real” main character.

Because that's probably the case, but then people chickened out and shoehorned in a male protagonist.

Ubisoft has done this at least twice. AC Origins was supposed to feature Aya as the playable character but some executive freaked out over it and they switched it to Bayek, which worked out because he's one of the better Assassin's in the series but they missed the mark by not at least giving us an Aya DLC.

Then Odyssey was supposed to be only Kassandra, but same thing happened again, and we got Alexios as well. The VA for him was pretty garbage and you can almost tell it was a last minute change.

Leaks from an old build still got nothing on Rockstar and their marketing department. This game is going to do insane numbers.

I'll be honest. The shite coming out about the story, and the dialogue in the reveal. . .pretty clear this was written by women.

Gameplay better be incredible, because the story is going to be shite

GTA Online-level story and characters

Kinda hurts my interest, but it is still going to sell

The Cult of GTA is like MAGA

All dissent is treason

Bet they won't have anything approaching this:



Women are COMPLETELY incapable of writing anything like this. And the cult will tell us that is a good thing.

Nothing wrong with that, RDR 2 was similar to some degree. You needed to get money to update the camp, which unlocked very import parts to game play. While you could technically advance, it would just be harder. Playing through RDR 2 a second time was even worse, knowing you could not advance the game until you committed Morgan to die. That fricking sucked.

I am sure if you follow the general script you will get enough minimal money to keep going.

That checks out, both of my friends that game some, pre-ordered immediately after the trailer.
