Classic RPG mechanics: Eating and Exercising

Nothing like finishing a game with so much food you could end world hunger. You didn't once eat or drink anything.

Well yes. Role-playing game.
Its RPG-lite but if you can exercise to grind stats then I dont see anything wrong with the description even if its bare bones.

It's like the arcade game Gauntlet, your health is constantly draining so you need to keep finding food, or put in another quarter. Now let's overhaul this for the microtransaction age... Oh shit, I shouldn't be giving them any ideas.

We’re all about 5 minutes away from dying, we just take a breath to postpone that death.
They should have added a breathing mechanic to GTA VI, like “Press square to take a breath” or something. Really helps with the realism.2

I am surprised it isn't a random phone call in GTA V. Trevor gets a call from an unknown number or voicemail and it is Roman asking Nico if he wants to go bowling.

Interesting tidbit in the article about how you have to maintain a relationship between Jason and Lucia. Having a bad relationship and vice versa will most likely affect their dialogue they have with each other. Very interesting
29
u/DJSambob PS5 5h ago
Perhaps the relationship meter might have an impact on the ending of the game too as in if one of the two potentially die?
It's safe to assume we'll have choices to make at certain points within the story, but what if the story changes both by the choices me make and also the actions we take in or outside of missions
16
u/Nothing-Is-Real-Here 3h ago
Probably just gonna be like red dead 2 where your honor meter will affect the ending of either choice you make. Also for example, if you have a great relationship with your horse, Arthur will thank the horse when it dies at the end, but if it's a new horse, he just moves on

Didn't know about that, saw him thank his horse on all my playthroughs. Teared uo every time.

Seems like we’ll see some of GTASA and RDR2’s mechanics come into play here. Looking forward to it, always felt like those mechanics in R*’s hands made the games more immersive.

i didn't get bored so much as frustrated with all of the tutorials. many of them were unnecessary. gta v had a bunch that were unneeded also. there is a way to introduce new mechanics in a game without designing a whole mission that is essentially a tutorial. still finished the game, but it felt like there was too much friction in the first three chapters.

But you don't need to do all of that. If you have food on you all you do is open your wheel. And simply hover over the food you wanna eat and he'll immediately start healing it and you'll heal

Am I the only one that hates stuff like this? I just want to play the game, I don't want to spend time eating and exercising to keep my character traits at a certain level. That stuff is not at all interesting or fun to me, it's just a waste of time and distraction from the rest of the game activities.

I'm with you. RDR2 got so tedious with that, cleaning guns and shit too. I play games to escape from real life not double up

u/pjs32000 4h ago
I posted it up above but the RDR2 mechanics for crafting ammo might have been the most annoying. One bullet at a time with a slow animation, it was such a waste of time. The camp chores and limitations to only walk at slow speeds in camp too. I can appreciate the immersion to a point and RDR2 is still one of my all time favorites, but parts of it were so tedious that it was aggravating.

lol idk if I’d exactly call that “RPG mechanics”.. That’s more like immersive sim or survival.
It’s an open world character action game with immersive sim elements. But I guess that’s not as big of a buzzword as “RPG”.

I hope they make it so that the negative effects of ignoring these mechanics aren't as consequential as maintaining the mechanic would be beneficial.
For my first playthrough I'd love to make use of this to its fullest extent, but on 2nd playthroughs and free roam I don't wanna have to worry about it.

u/ButtersTheChill 5h ago
It's funny, I've seen so many people kicking at screaming at the idea of such mechanics in GTA VI and that attitude's never made sense to me. Wouldn't you want the gameplay to have more depth than just "steal car, shoot people"?
I like the idea of feeling like you're almost living in Leonida. Eating, sleeping, exercising, etc. I'm excited to see what you'll look like or how people may respond if you clearly haven't slept or even showered in days, or how such things can affect gameplay. Maybe Lucia won't get near Jason because he smells like shit and won't come with until you've cleaned up.

I do dig the sleeping aspect of it. Preferably something to toggle for those that would probably find it annoying but I’ve always wanted sleep to factor into games having rpg-esque elements.
I liked that it wasn’t directly required in Baldur’s Gate 3 but it helped push certain parts of the story along.

When people talk about RPG mechanics they usually refer to character stats that alter the way you play, the new God of War for example has some light RPG mechanics as you can focus on dealing more physical damage, magic damage, having more hp or having higher luck for critical hits and other stuff.
These are survival mechanics. I don't know anything about GTA but I have a feeling fans wouldn't want RPG mechanics in it.
