There are loads of speculation and rumors surrounding GTA 6, including how realistic the game would be. With Red Dead Redemption 2, the fans saw a massive jump in realism from GTA 5, since players needed to feed their character, Arthur Morgan, in order to keep him healthy.An argument can be made that this kind of hunger and thirst mechanism should also be present in GTA 6. Here's why.Reasons why GTA 6 should have hunger and thirst mechanismsMassively enhances realismMaking characters eat will make them feel a lot more realistic (Image via Rockstar Games)In GTA 5, players can complete the entire game without feeding any of the three protagonists. Though the characters' dialogs, expressions, and movements feel realistic, once the player is in control after a cut scene, a lot of realism is lost. They can avoid doing daily chores or other necessities like eating or drinking.To a point, this was also the case in Red Dead Redemption 2. However, if players wanted to buff Arthur Morgan's stats and honor, they had to work for it. They needed to eat, drink, sleep, do daily chores in the camp, and more.Hence, GTA 6 should also have a hunger and thirst system to make Jason and Lucia feel a lot more realistic than previous Grand Theft Auto protagonists. The State of Leonida should have various restaurants and joints where the characters could eat and drink.Give players a challenge to keep character abilities intactThese systems will also affect a character's stats (Image via Rockstar Games)The hunger and thirst mechanisms will not only enhance the realism, but they can also be necessary to keep a character's abilities intact. For example, if players will not let Jason and Lucia drink any liquids, their hands could start to shiver while aiming, or their vision could get blurry. Similarly, they could take more damage if they do not eat properly.These mechanisms will also make the game a bit slower, which will in turn make it feel more realistic. It will give players a different challenge, since they will have to stop playing action-packed missions back-to-back and take care of the characters. This way, they will have a lot better chance at performing well.Check out our other content:How to turn off Halloween weather in GTA OnlineWhy GTA 6 should have bigger and more secrets to uncoverWhy GTA 6 Online should allow you to switch between multiple characters
