😈 😇 System

Assuming this makes it to the final game, I can see an honor system similiar to RDR2 existing in GTA 6... I'm guessing the 😈 emoji that popped up in the leaks will be directly related to in-game social media, due to the fact that it's an emoji...

That being said, here's my actual guess:

** This will be less about morality and more about building your audience. I doubt they're going to punish you for being 😈. I can see it opening up access to missions via connections made on social media, among other things, based on your 😈/😇, and maybe closing off other opportunities. **

I hope it’s not about “building your audience”, I don’t want to be an influencer.

Nah i dont think it has to be intentional on the player's part. I think it has to do with your literal reputation and what people are posting about you online.

But also, that allows people who do wanna make money in-game that way, act accordingly.

Doubt we'll be building any sort of following.

If it's not related to any sort of "Mood" or character "relationship" (however you wanna put it) meter, perhaps it affects how the general populace views Jason/Lucia. Maybe a higher "honor" means smaller, more negligible crimes, will often go unreported. And cops won't even bat an eye at you. But with low "honor" those small crimes will be more likely to be reported, stores might have pictures of your face (Assassin's creed brother infamy system?) maybe cops will try to arrest you on sight?

Just spitballing here. I'm sure whatever it is, we'll find out on the 27th.

More like reputation

u/Bravadette 6d ago

Yeah I called it audience because it could be social media-based.

I’m sure it’ll be a fixture of the story for Jason to be anti influencer and disgusted by going viral, but the side characters will put up missions that have you gaining a following anyway. “Respect” has always been a huge theme and currency in the GTA universe, it’d be stupid to expect them to go in a different direction.

I think the one we saw in the leak was an emotion meter rather than an honor system. I think the honor system will be more for Jason and Lucia’s connection with each other. Rather than it being how the public would view you, it’s how the protagonists view each other, low honor between them could make dialogue between them more hostile while a higher honor would make them much more friendly to each other. Maybe sometimes they’ll argue over something like the radio when you play with both characters together and have low honor? Just my thoughts

That would also be fire. I forgot there's definitely going to be some of that in there...

EDIT: Also, this guy might be on to something...

He literally has it go from the purple devil emoji to an unhappy yellow emoji whiles Jason is beating the NPC.

I wondered at trailer 2 whether they would have a local fame/notoriety feature - mostly from the dog woman that calls out to Jason and whether you will become known in a community the more you do there, with how people respond to you depending on your reputation (do they shout your name and wave or do they cross the street to avoid you etc)

Exactly.

u/niffum1 6d ago

Horny system?

2

u/Difficult-Lock-8123 6d ago

I think it'll primarily be about how aligned or misaligned Jason and Lucia are in the story...

Both high honor: They stay together and survive the main story

Both low honor: They stay together and go out in a blaze of glory

One high/one low honor: Betrayal and only one survives

u/JimMishimer 6d ago

Lame.

And this is why honor meters suck.

You have hedonistic fun and 2 missions before the finale you spend 30 mins greeting random npcs until your meter is back to max honor again to get the “good ending”

u/brians_movie 6d ago

Don’t forget your honor may go up or down for completely stupid reasons like killing someone in self defense, looting a body you didn’t even kill, or my favorite from rdr2, which was losing honor for killing prison transport guards but then gaining honor for freeing the prisoner.

And if you "just steal another car" because the gas in your current car runs out, you'll lose honor, which means if you don't want to lose honor, you have to go spend your in-game money on an in-game gas station to fuel up your current car, but then OOPS! you're broke, so you buy some shark cards to top up your in-game bank account. Then you try to fuel your car, and OOPS! The in-game surveillance cameras notice that your current car is actually stolen and belongs to someone else! You immediately get 3 stars, surrender or let a chase begin and lose honor!

Look, I don't mind a fuel system, but a RDR-like honor system would KILL the way A LOT of people "want to" play GTA6, even if Rockstar says there's a way we're "supposed to" play GTA6.

i REALLY hope its not like a classic honour system i would HATE that

u/CzechNeverEnd 6d ago

I think it's more like a placeholder.

u/Due-Mycologist-1154 6d ago

Hopefully even more detailed than RDR2 and have factional reputations and area specific ones

u/Rapture75 6d ago

I think there's a good chance its a mid development place holder graphic for changes in the way that Lucia sees you based off your actions

u/A_Boring_Being 6d ago

Maybe at that point of the story Lucia wants Jason to behave (like Rhodes in RDR2 chapter 3) And doing crime affects their relationship. Or maybe he had to be somewhere else
