I keep seeing criticism of GTA VI based solely on arguments against Lucia and/or her relationship with Jason, and that based solely on what little we've seen so far.

I think, especially if those comments end up being correct, SAVE IT UNTIL THE GAME ACTUALLY DROPS.

I'm a huge fan of criticism of media, just so we're clear.  If something's bad, according to me if no one else, I will call it bad.  I think that is how media should be engaged with; not like this, and it's really interesting how games are engaged with in this way even if other forms of media are not.  From what I've seen, people don't just come out of the woodwork to rip apart some movie, for example, just based on the trailer and before it's even in the theater.

I'm planning on watching people play GTA VI on Twitch/YouTube/wherever as soon as I'm able to, and, again, if I think it looks bad then I'll call it that.  I'll give it a chance to either disappoint me, or not, properly.

I hate that people are already trying to milk it when it's not even out yet.
