Video summary
The video discusses the detailed mechanics in GTA 6 regarding health, stamina, weight, sleep, relationships, and consumables, explaining how the game tracks player habits and choices over time.
Key points
- Consumables like coffee and protein shakes boost health and stamina beyond base levels, acting as a cushion rather than mid-fight heals.
- Going to the gym requires purchasing a membership and allows players to build muscle, increase stamina, and manage stats through specific exercise routines.
- The game keeps score of player actions, meaning characters visibly gain weight from overeating or lose muscle if they do not maintain workouts.
- Sleep deprivation affects character appearance and causes stats like stamina and health to regenerate more slowly.
- Consumables include cigarettes, alcohol, and pain-relieving pills like zombics, which can lead to addiction or affect gameplay.
- A romance meter tracks the quality time Jason and Lucia spend together through activities like going to the gym, robbing places, and outdoor dates.

Rob Nelson, who runs GTA 6 Development, was playing the game for a room full of people. He looked at the screen and said, "Dang, my bars are looking pretty low." So, he took Jason and Lucia to the gym together. This is the game that we're buying. We are buying a simulator to some degree. In GTA 6, things grow and shrink. And I'm talking about bars. And these systems in place are for health stamina weight sleep romance and even the stuff in your pocket. What? And there was one thing Rockstar built that they ripped out of the game that we'll talk about later in the video because it was way too realistic. So, let's get into today's video. So, let's start with health and stamina because you think you know what health and stamina bars are based on other games you've played, but GTA 6 things do a little bit differently here. In GTA 5, you got shot, you ate a snack bar, you got your health back, and you just kept pushing. But in GTA 6, it it doesn't work the same. The very first thing that happened in the demo is Jason standing in the apartment in the morning. He pours himself a nice cup of coffee and that coffee boosts his stamina. He then chugs a protein shake and that protein shake buffs his health bar. Then he decides to walk out that front door in a nice morning routine in a GTA game and it's not just for show because food and drink in GTA 6 don't just fill your bars, they push them past the top of what the top is. Now in energy drink makes your stamina bar bigger. The moment your health bar drops where it's normally at, like the base level, thanks to whatever item you ate or consumed, that extra chunk is gone and it doesn't come back on its own. So, the buff you get from these items you consume is like a cushion that you can take into every job. And it's not a heal that you can pop in the middle of a gunfight. And the only way to make these bars bigger is to train and work out. And I mean really work out. Now, the coffee gets you through the night, but the gym changes who you are every single playthrough. Now, every system I'm about to show you lands on one side of that line or the other, whether you're extremely weak or strong, because in this game, going to the gym actually matters. And this is in GTA 5, where you jog around Vinewood and some hidden number goes up that you have barely any use for. You walk into the gym and the first thing you do is you go to the front desk and buy a membership. You don't buy a membership, you're not lifting in the gym. It's pretty It's pretty simple. And I can't believe you have to buy a gym membership, by the way, guys. So, get your money up. We'll have videos on how to do all that soon. But in the gym, there's a vending machine. And around the back of the vending machine is changing rooms. And this is where the game gets crazy. You can buy a protein shake or an energy drink. And it buffs your stamina for the entire workout. Now, because the workout drains your stamina, you're you're doing the sets with L2 and R2 and then pull down, let it go, pull down, let it go. And your stamina bar is dropping the entire time. Now, you have to finish your entire set before your stamina bar runs out. If you go too fast and you strain your body, there's a rhythm to it. You have to sort of like figure out the flow and you're not button mashing here. Three exercises in one session and you're done for the day. So, three strength exercises raise your health, cardio raises your stamina. And now this is the part that I love. If you bring Jason and Lucia into the gym together, they work out at the same time. It's like a two for one special here. You manage both character stats in one trip. And the best part about it is she sees it as a date. That means you're getting relationship points in the piggy bank, baby. And we're taking all the way to the bank with that one. You can go on dates. And we've covered dating pretty extensively here on the channel because the gym is feeding something else, too. And I'm coming back to it. But last thing, remember, if you do three exercises three days in a row, it increases that stat that you worked for on those three days. So, three days in a row you did, let's say, cardio, you'll raise your cardio up. If you do strength, like weightlifting, three days in a row, bam, strength raises. Remember that. So, your first week in Lanida, you got to make sure you hit the gym because it's not your first day, it's your first week. And here's where things sort of get a little discombobulated because this is the part where GTA 5 players are going to get absolutely blindsided if they didn't know. The game literally keeps score. And I'm not talking about like a basketball game and the points are good. I'm talking about if you eat too much, you get fat. It's like real life. I have that problem. I eat too much and I get fat. Now, if you've built a bunch of muscle and you stop maintaining that muscle, you also lose it. Now, you do have to eat a lot before it shows. So, like one heart attack burger after a robbery is going to blow Jason up overnight where you're just obese. But there is no off switch on this. It's not like a stat on the screen you fill once and forget. Like, you just can't stay super strong. You consistently need to go to the gym. You consistently need to eat healthy and good. It's a part of the schedule. And it goes past the body mechanic. It's not this simple like, oh, just watch this meter go up and down. No, no. It's it's much deeper than that. Because if you go days without sleep in GTA 6, your character starts to visibly look different. Like if you went days in real life without sleeping, you're not looking too hot. In GTA 6, it's the same way. San Andreas had the same gym and fat meter where CJ got chubby on clucking bell. The Red Dead Redemption 2 had Arthur gaining in losing weight as well. But GTA 6 is sort of like both of these combined. On top of that, you can see it visibly in the face when you don't sleep. So it's like it's very it's a lot. Rockstar, you've done you outdone yourself with this one. And earlier, the thing I promised you that Rockstar took out, yeah, they had us at one point doing weekly grocery trips for our characters. Now, I've mentioned this in past videos, and I'm going to keep mentioning it, but thank you for taking that out. It was at one point a requirement for you to go grocery shopping. I already hate grocery shopping in real life. I would hate to go do it in GTA 6 cuz then you're going to hear somebody complaining about something and oh my god. Anyways, luckily the fridge is full on its own, but your body is not. So, you got to make sure you maintain that bad boy because that's the line that they drew in the sand. They're like, "Hey, you know what? We got to make sure we we don't discourage players cuz going to the grocery store once in GTA would have been cool, but having to do it every week." Oh, no, no, no, no. But let's talk about sleep and launch night for GTA 6 because this sounds like a painful joke until you think about your launch night and how it's going to affect your gameplay. There's a health app on the phone, okay? It's sort of like whoop in real life or like the aura ring, right? It tells you whether or not Jason or Lucia is well rested and if they're not, certain attributes regenerate slower. Now, I'm going to be straight with you here because we know what we know and we don't know what we don't know. We don't exactly know which counts as like rested [music] hours, right? We don't know like do they need 8 hours of sleep every night? How long are the nights? Are the nights 60 minutes in a day 60 minutes or a full day's 2 hours? We don't know the exact metrics of how to calculate these things. And no one has shown us a pedestrian that walks up to Jason is like, "Man, you look tired." Like they tell me that like I get that comment all the time on YouTube like, "Dude, you look like you haven't slept in weeks. BRO, I JUST GOT BAGS and maybe I don't sleep. I got a 2-year-old, dude. You know, my life I got a you know, it's not easy out here." So, imagine this. It's November 19th and you've decided to load up GTA 6. You've been playing for 3 hours. gives you the prologue and now you're chain robbing stores trying to get your money up. Jason's been awake the whole time right there with you doing all the crime, doing everything that you need to do to get his money up. But now the game is tracking two people who haven't slept. His bars come back slower. His face shows it. You didn't necessarily get a game over, but you got a worse Jason for the next robbery. You know, like he's just not as quick. His stamina is a little bit more sluggish. His health is just not moving the way it used to. That's the whole design here. The game never stops you. It just makes you pay for the decisions you make as you play the game, which I sort of like. I I'm not going to lie. But speaking of things and decisions, you sort of then have to decide whether or not you want your character to be smoking on cigarettes, drinking beer, and even taking pills. And it's all up to you. You can decide if you want to start the addiction outside of GTA. And in GTA, that's crazy. Now, in the demo, Jason pulls out a pack of cigarettes out of his inventory, and he lights a cigarette, takes a nice cool drag, and then keeps walking. You can buy cigarettes and beer at the shop just like in GTA 5. And Rockstar's own words on this where basically you can have your life in the game play out how you want it. So smoking and drinking are on the menu if that's your thing. Don't know if they got chewing tobacco on the menu. But we do know is we got pills. LOTS AND LOTS OF PILLS. HOW DO WE know this? Because zombics that is the pain reliever on how you regenerate health in GTA 6. Now imagine this. GTA 5, you're used to snacking on P's and Q's. You're used to eating all these bars and it's filling your face. But in GTA 6, you're taking pills. And these pills may lead you down a dark path of addiction and you don't want TO GO DOWN THAT PATH because I'm not I'm not saying that it's going to happen. But in GTA V, we had billboards all over the place. And now it's something you carry on you in your inventory. And it's funny because in GTA 5, anytime you took a drag of a cigarette, you lost health. I'm not sure exactly what GTA 6 cigarette smoking does for you, but I'm assuming it sort of like keeps you up, you know, like I'm I I don't do nicotine, but I'm assuming it's sort of like a little bit of a caffeine, like a little bit of gives you a little bit of focus, cuz that's what it did in Red Dead Redemption 2, right? Whether you lose health in GTA 6 from a cigarette drag. We'll find out November 19th. And I'll be testing a bunch of stuff. We'll be doing myth busting a lot here on this channel. We'll be doing a lot of busting out here on the channel. We'll be visiting all the spots, okay? But what we do know is the Bender rule, okay? If you go hard for a few days in GTA 6, it shows in your face. And same deal goes with sleep. The game doesn't stop. Doesn't tell you to stop or slow down. It just knows that like, yo, you're struggling. And if you're struggling to keep up, that means when it comes to fights, you're not going to be able to fight as good. That's a perfect segue to the next section of this video, and that's fighting techniques in the bars you have not yet gone to that you'll most likely visit to grab a drink. Now, there's a big question that's been looming in a lot of my comment section is whether or not you can learn fighting styles like the San Andreas [music] gym system that we had in previous GTA. We have nothing that points to that, but what came from the previews is that the styles belong to the characters. Lucia fights technical with kickboxing in MMA, and Jason fights like a street brawler with heavy hands, raw strength, and it fits with everything we've seen. Her biography says that her dad taught her to fight. And then trailer 2 has her in a cage fighting where Jason's ex-military and in the extend look, he's the one getting slammed hardcore to the floor by a dude while he's a wrestler. So the training you do at the gym isn't picking a style. It's feeding the bars underneath the style, the stamina, and the health. And there's more than just those two bars because the second Jason goes underwater, you also have his oxygen, his lung capacity, and of course, there's the focus mode that works like eagle eye and Red Dead Redemption 2. It highlights what matters around you, including cops, don't forget, which also, by the way, allows you to see through walls, which I feel like people aren't talking about because it's pretty crazy that you can see through walls with the focus. Anyways, there's also a real shooting range you can walk around in, not like the back room in GTA V and the ammunition. Whether any of these are trainable, nobody exactly knows yet, but we can assume that you may be able to train in these different aspects of your character and build some kind of reputation or handling with these things that you do. So whether it's fighting or shooting, you can become more of an expert. You you can grow your expertise. I don't know why I tried doing all this motion. Anyways, and one more thing that I kept thinking about from the demo is that every fight doesn't need to end with you absolutely murdering someone. You can take someone down just by knowing your fighting styles. And with the future video I'm doing about criminal profile, it's going to be interesting how people play GTA 6. And I wonder if anyone's going to do the entire game unarmed, right? Like, can you play GTA 6 unarmed? But that's a whole another video, a whole another conversation, but it matters. Now, earlier when I mentioned the romance piggy bank, you know, the relationship piggy bank, taking notes that it's the daily things you do, right? I struggle with this personally. I am literally the worst. I try my best every day and sometimes I fall short and that's okay. But in GTA 6, it is literally measured in a romance bar. So, strap in, boys, and strap on because today you're about to learn what it takes to be a boyfriend in a relationship. In GTA 6, you're being put to the ultimate test. There's a four-point scale and that's four like fo u r and it goes up and down the more time they spend together but you spend less time it goes down it's horrible walks in the beach cycling driving around with one of them in this passenger seat uh going to the gym even scrolling the phone but the detail here is the gym only counts towards it once you bought the membership so if you have not bought a membership together then you don't get credit for the romance meter but then you ask yourself what else counts as quality time I feel like if we rob stores together, is that quality time? If we're doing the story together, is that quality time? If we watch TV together, is that quality time? Well, my wife doesn't say quality time is watching TV together, so hopefully Lucia does. But basically, everything does. Robbing places, holding hands, the zoo, scuba diving, parachuting, kayaking, and here's the cost if you don't do those things. Strap in, boys, cuz this one's a doozy. If you let the meter slide, you lose options. You can't hold hands. You can't kiss. If you can't kiss, you can't have the shower scenes. I'm just saying. Do what you got to do, boys. And the thing is, if you skip, and I'm doing a whole video about the romance and relationship and how to get the meter up and all that. So, if you want to see that video come soon, let me know in the comment section because I'm really invested in this GTA 6 stuff because if you put all this together, this is what a day in the life of Leonida actually looks like if you're playing the game correctly. Well, the way Rockstar has intended you to play. Coffee in a shake before you leave an apartment or one in your inventory. So you can have it on the go gym, but do three exercises of the same kind of exercises three times in a row. And bring Lucia after buying the membership so you guys can spend quality time together working out. So you're working out at the gym and on your romance meter. Make sure you eat because eating is great for your health and you can gain different attributes for it. But eat too much and you can hurt yourself. So don't eat too much and don't eat too little. Just eat enough so that you are gaining muscle, not fat. But also, you got to make sure you sleep because if you sleep, that's how you regen and you can be in a better mental state and you probably have a better focus meter if you do sleep. But then if you go rob the place after sleeping, make sure you do it with Lucia cuz it counts as quality time towards a romance. And then now you compare all this to GTA 5 and what we've trained over the last 13 years and it's a completely different game which is like you skip every single step to get to point A to point B. You don't even want to do all the extra stuff. You just go straight to the robbery. This is a different game. And that is the exact habit that this game is built to punish slowly. If you skip, you'll be punished. And I'm going to give you the honest list of what nobody knows yet because I'd rather you hear from me than some review on the 19th or 18th about how many sessions before you visibly change shape or how fast the muscle changes or which attributes to sleep actually affects. So, I'm going to make a whole list of everything. I'm going to make it all for you guys. So, hit that subscribe button if you're still new around here because god dang it, dude. I'm I'm committed to this freaking GTA 6 thing. I WILL LOSE EVERYTHING IN THE PATH OF MAKING SURE MY PEOPLE ARE taken care of. So, here's the answer. GTA 6 is not going to punish you for eating one burger, for missing one text late night, for smoking one cigarette outside the gas station, but it is going to keep a record of all your actions and everything you do. It will constantly remind you where you're failing and what you're doing wrong or right with a happy face, angel, or a devil. for sort of like the cron profile system but for your health. Now the only question is whether you're the player who builds the routine on night one or on night five you're regretting your decisions on not building that routine and doing what you had to do what's right for Jason Lucia and of course your playthrough cuz all your playthrough is literally affected by your decisions. So just keep that in mind. This is like for you. So I'm going to put Jason Lucia in the gym. I'm going to skip my real life gym session so I can make sure Jason Lucia work out regularly. But let me know in the comment section what your thoughts on this everything tracks system that Rockstar's incorporated in the game. I personally love it. I think it's cool. It's a nice take on everything we love from Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 4 and GTA V to make GTA 6. So that's my opinion, but let me know your opinion down in the comment section. I'll see you guys tomorrow with a brand new video. If you guys enjoyed, be sure to drop A LIKE AND GOODBYE. SEE you tomorrow.
