GTA VI romance feature sparks strong reactions from players

After the latest trailer and interviews with Rockstar Games, a new feature in "GTA VI" has caused players to react strongly: controlling Jason and Lucia's romantic relationship.

In the game, Jason and Lucia can start an optional romantic relationship that is strengthened by going shopping, going to the hairdresser, and committing robberies together. Ignoring each other's texts can worsen the relationship, while the other character can be called in to help out during the game.

"This could very well be the best Trojan horse in history," writes user UltimashadowX on X, who believes the game can force gamers to learn how to have a relationship.

The feature has also created irritation among some, who say that the game is "not for married men" as it would mean "double headaches".

Other cynical gamers write that "guys will treat Lucia better than their real girlfriends."

Some have also let their imaginations run wild beyond the advertised features, expressing hopes of being able to play as infidels or gays.

"As soon as I get control of Lucia, I plan to start a lesbian harem," writes one user.
