eurogamer's got a list of every non violent activity spotted in the extended look and previews

Eurogamer's got a new piece up that's basically a running list of every non violent activity they've spotted in the extended look and the previews so far. The thumbnail alone shows Lucia lifting weights, which is already a good sign if you're into the gym side of GTA.

I haven't read the full thing yet, but the intro makes a point that a lot of the fun in these games comes from everything outside the scripted story. Shooting and driving are fine, but the stuff you can do in Leonida that doesn't involve either is what keeps people playing for years.

What's interesting is that the extended look hasn't even aired for most of us yet. It's supposed to hit Netflix first later today, then YouTube and Rockstar's site tonight. So Eurogamer must have gotten early access or they're working from the press previews that went out. Either way, they're cataloging activities before the rest of us even see the footage.

I'm curious how deep the list goes. GTA 5 had tennis, golf, yoga, darts, triathlons, all that. San Andreas had the gym and eating. If GTA 6 is bringing back weight lifting and who knows what else, that's a lot of side content to sink time into.

Anyone read the full Eurogamer piece? What activities are they listing that you're actually excited about?

This is the stuff that kept me in San Andreas for hundreds of hours back in 2004. Gym, eating, haircuts... Those little systems made it feel alive.

I'm not touching Eurogamer's list yet though. Rather just wait and see it myself at 9pm.

Same. Keeps the playbook clean until showtime.

Still, side systems matter for crew prep. Burning cash and downtime between jobs without attracting heat is tactical. If lifting weights or eating builds stats again, that's loadout optimization, not fluff.

the mundane rituals hide the signal. reps and routines. mapping the unseen...
