GTA 6 is simply across the nook, and regardless of Rockstar releasing numerous footage during the last month, I nonetheless assume there’s little or no to point out what we’ll really be doing within the sport. Crime, sure. The standard spate of aspect actions, sure. Having sex, apparently. However there’s nonetheless plenty of room for hypothesis about what you are able to do in these in-between moments. I hope a few of these actions make the minimize.
1
Study Spanish
If GTA 6 lets Jason and Lucia turn into a critical merchandise, then it must let me, as Jason, study Spanish. (That’s assuming that Lucia speaks it, at the very least slightly.) It would be extraordinarily cute, plus it is type of obligatory if they’ll share their lives, particularly in a spot primarily based on Miami, the place tons of individuals converse Spanish. I do not count on Rockstar, or anybody, to place an entire section of language programs in a non-educational online game, in fact. Only a nod to it, possibly, or it may very well be a passive exercise you select to do and ultimately see outcomes from.

Learn on the bus
Look, I do know this is not an RPG and it is positively not Persona 5, however once you say “spending time touring on public transportation,” the very first thing that involves thoughts is studying on the subway. Even when it does not enhance any type of stat or have a noticeable profit, at the very least it will assist Rockstar’s efforts at making GTA 6 as reasonable as potential. Barring that, I would accept listening to the game’s radio stations on Jason’s or Lucia’s cellphone. With earbuds. Like a civilized human.
3
Change into an influencer
GTA aspect hustles are at all times a factor, and after seeing Rockstar poke enjoyable at influencer tradition within the big Netflix reveal, I do really assume it would be attention-grabbing to play at being an influencer within the sport. Turning Jason and Lucia’s largest moments into capital-C Content material may not be the neatest thought in the event you’re making an attempt to keep away from the legislation. However absolutely they will have burner accounts? It positive could be amusing to try to get the proper framing as you are combating off civilian vigilantes within the jewellery retailer, to not point out a doubtlessly intelligent use of picture mode.
4
Go on dates
Once more, if relationships are an enormous deal on this sport, we have to see extra of it past simply the steamy intercourse scenes. And, y’know, one thing extra romantic than a superbly deliberate heist. Possibly an evening out at a restaurant or a visit to the cinema or theatre. Is there a cinema in GTA 6? I hope so. Certainly Vice Metropolis’s tradition extends past strip golf equipment and drug dens.
5
Take a tour
You may discover the swamps and dive off skyscrapers, positive, however I would actually like a guided tour of Vice Metropolis. Seeing the infamous metropolis’s efforts at presenting a socially and morally acceptable face looks like the type of factor GTA could be excellent at making enjoyable of, however I would additionally wish to see one thing a bit deeper. Say, for instance, a guided tour into the historical past of one of many metropolis’s multicultural neighborhoods and even one thing extra lighthearted like a ghost tour. Simply one thing that lets me really feel like I am exploring the town on a deeper degree.

Have significant character development
Talking of deeper, it looks like GTA 6 locations far better emphasis on character growth than earlier installments of the sequence. That makes me hope there’s some type of development — beyond just physical appearance — that displays my actions within the sport. Possibly it is simply so simple as specializing in a single type of fight over one other, but when I am spending as a lot time with Jason and Lucia as Rockstar clearly needs me to, there ought to be one thing that lets my actions form that journey in a manner totally different from all people else. In any other case, why hassle?
