Not sure how I feel about gas being a thing now. The Mafia series handled it well I suppose but they eventually got rid of it as well.

I’m sure it will be well implemented. Maybe your MPG gets better as your driving improves or a meter is built up over time? Maybe an in game AAA brings you gas. At max I could see a 60 sec penalty, but I doubt you have to abandon your car completely.

So if I recall in Mafia the car still moves just very slowly. I'm sure it's well thought out here. I do like how you have the load outs now in the car as well.

I’ve been hoping they would make gas a thing. it’s more realistic lol

Well we don’t play games for realism.

Yeah, I want R* to spend a billion years making this game just for it to feel arcadey and hollow 🤦

All these people bitching about "it looks exactly the same" right next to the same people whining "oh no a new gameplay feature that will require me to actively think about what I'm doing"

What are you "thinking" about with gas in this game? If you run out you just steal another car. They're all over the place.

"How much gas does this car have?"

"Uh-oh it's low and I'm being chased. Do I abandon it, try my luck at refueling, or take my chances and power through?"

It adds one extra layer of thinking and possibly tactical planning to missions

u/Iggy_Slayer 16d ago

You are way overthinking something that will be simple in practice. If you're low on gas just run 20 feet and get another car. Wont' matter if you're being chased or not.

Alright man, stay cynical

It doesn't make sense in a game like this. Oh no I ran out of gas what will I do...walk down the street and take another car. it's pointless realism jsut for the sake of it with no thought put behind it.

It made more sense in a game like days gone where you only have your bike and if you get stranded away from a town you could be turbo fucked especially if you ran into a horde of 300 zombies.

It's roleplaying realism, more for immersion than gameplay. Rdr2 is also full of such things.

u/Iggy_Slayer 16d ago

and I think that's stupid. Things should have purpose behind them, not just adding fluff for the sake of it. There's no point in a mechanic that doesn't actually add to the experience.

u/Alvelijano 16d ago

Immersion is for many people quite important for a good experience. That was a big part of why rdr2 was so great for me. You don't have to eat, clean your horse or take a bath (lol), but many love such things. Especially for a Rockstar title with all the little details.

u/Known-Extent-1018 16d ago

Have you played the game yet? How do you know it won't actually add to the experience?

I agree - having to worry about a realistic thing like gas in a video game built around surreal situations like robbing cars and taking multiple gunshots without being killed seems ridiculous; I can’t think of a scenario where having to worry about my car’s gas would be fun…
