The return of the GTA 6 feature leaves players divided

Expectations from Rockstar Games are sky high Grand Theft Auto 6which contains everything that has been shown and released, AND what is rumored. Fans have been picking apart the two trailers practically since they dropped, discovering the weirdest details (like which sunscreen GTA 6use of NPCs). And fans are seemingly split on the returning dynamic body element, at least as to why it's coming back now, as opposed to GTA 4 and GTA 5.

For those who don't know, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas introduced an RPG-lite feature that allowed players to change CJ's physical appearance and abilities based on lifestyle choices. How often they lifted weights, rode their bikes, ate at certain restaurants (like Cluckin' Bell). how often they sprinted and various other options all resulted in different types of body type visuals for CJ. Red Dead Redemption 2 features something very similar for Arthur Morgan where players could affect his beard growth and overall weight but it wasn't present GTA 4 or GTA 5. And now there is talk of a comeback GTA 6.

The developers of Grand Theft Auto 6 do not bother

PSA: Don't harass the Grand Theft Auto 6 developers (or any developers for that matter)

The anticipation for GTA6 is one thing, but the lines keep getting pushed and the people who build what everyone wants pay the price.

Dynamic properties of the body in GTA 6

A significant part GTA 6Fans believe that a dynamic body system is coming back that will allow them to lose/gain weight and build muscle like the game's protagonists Jason and Lucia. The evidence is largely forthcoming GTA 6trailers that like sunscreen were dismantled. The evidence is generally weak and unconfirmed, but given Jason and Lucia's overall fitness (at first glance) it would make sense to allow players to influence it. Be that as it may, assuming he returns, many fans have debated why he was skipped over the last two games.

Jason's beard is shown in multiple lengths, which also suggests that a dynamic body feature may be present.

Camp 1: Who Cares?

General sentiment over this is possible GTA 6 the trait falls into two camps: confused/disliked OR explaining through narration. For example, Reddit user OGAnimeGokuSolos points out how they've always found it “weird” that the feature skipped two Grand Theft Auto games. Frequent-Piano6164 simply expressed how they “didn't really hate eating” and just wanted to play games without “having to eat and exercise” because it was getting tiring. Others argued that it was just a gimmick and not that deep, so it was largely irrelevant to care about or even notice.

Camp 2: Narrative Design

And while some are confused or indifferent to his disappearance and return, many loved the way they could make Fat CJ or Roided-Up CJ in GTA San Andreas thanks to the dynamic bodywork. But much more explains his disappearance as a consequence of the narrative, which makes sense. It's not that Rockstar simply didn't care, according to them – it's that the narrative didn't support such a feature, emphasizing the necessity of narrative design in video games.

Reddit penaltylake explained that it would “narratively” make “little sense” to have such systems GTA 4 or GTA 5 characters, with its implementation in Red Dead 2 is more understandable because it emphasizes realism. For example, this narrative aspect would not make sense GTA 4 protagonist Niko as he steps off the ship in Liberty City. He would not suddenly increase in size, which is also an important aspect: like everyone Grand Theft Auto the game plays with time.

Place 9 games in the grid.

It is believed GTA San Andreass lasts anywhere from 4-5 months to 9 months, which is enough time (if with video game logic) for CJ to shred. Meanwhile, as Unusual-Ad4590 points out, “[Grand Theft Auto 5] takes place over the course of weeks.” Other redditors also discussed how GTA 5a defining feature (three protagonists) would probably make such an addition too complicated, while Mutant_Star pointed out that such a feature would take away from the “Michael is out of shape” jokes. Overall for those who care about the v GTA game, it's clear they understand that her absence could at least be explained narratively – even if the exact reason isn't confirmed.
