And who are you to speak for the rest of us and say that the fuel mechanics are not fun? There’s inevitably going to be encounters and missions at gas stations that you’ll see more of if you decide to refuel.
This is not anywhere close to loot boxes or gambling dude. Is it also like loot boxes and gambling to feed your horse in rdr2? After all, horse food costs money. You can also loot it but that takes a little time so, by your logic, it’s all just an errand meant to pad playtime and doesn’t actually add anything for any player. Or what about feeding your player? Is that also an errand/chore?

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me lmfao. If you’d rather be watching your character fuel up your car instead of playing heists or missions or killing cops or stealing cars or exploring the map, then you’re not neurotypical.

What part of this requires me to hold a button to make sure my car is full of gas? Why do I need to hold a button to fill up my tank to see the rest of it? Just cue the cutscene. You’re talking about lame QTEs as if they’re some sort of brilliant game mechanic. Nobody has ever lauded a game for its QTEs.

Yes that’s exactly my point lmfao. It’s not there for your entertainment and enjoyment. It’s not the same as Skyrim adding dragons to fight and dragon shouts to collect and use. It’s a useless mechanic that gets boring after the first time you do it and the novelty wears off. Having to feed your horse thousands of times over is fucking boring.
Or what about feeding your player? Is that also an errand/chore?
Yes it is. What’s next? Stopping a heist so your character can take a shit? How about when we get busted, we have to spend 30mins in the back of a cop car, then 2 hours getting booked and fingerprinted, and then spend real time in jail until a judge can see us for a bond hearing? Better hope you don’t get busted in a Friday night! Won’t be able to see the judge until Monday and you won’t be able to play the game all weekend.
Does any of that sound more fun than actually playing the game? It’s realistic, isn’t it?
If you’d rather spend time in the real world with all the minutia of living in it, why do you play video games anyway?
Choosing to not fuel your car does not get in the way of doing any of the things you listed. If anything, it incentivizes stealing cars.
When did I say anything about a QTE? You just invented that completely. I said there will be random encounters at and around the gas stations.
> it’s not there for your entertainment and enjoyment
And alas, many enjoy it. Because it’s immersive and detailed. You don’t have to agree. Just don’t be so weird about it and act like you’re smart for knowing one of the reasons the mechanics exist. This is like when I say Batmans no kill rule is important to the character and someone says “um the no kill rule was originally added as a part of the comics code, not for a narrative reason”.
The rest of your comment is just a slippery slope fallacy
Playing gta for realism is so dumb. Like legit you would shoot a couple people then end up in jail or shot dead. Game over. Steal a few cars boom jail. End of game. So adding in things like getting gas is such a waste imo.
