GTA6 gets it on: can the notoriously cynical action series finally find time for romance?

“Instead of half-baked fantasies,” states the Rockstar website, “Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands. Natural Born Killers and even the more recent Love Lies Bleeding may also have provided more quasi surreal inspiration. This is a series that has also never had a female lead protagonist before; new dynamics are coming into play. They’re clearly among the most attractive characters the series has ever seen – the internet is already shipping them. Perhaps Rockstar has seen, with the current state of the world (and perhaps the success of The Last of Us), that some heartfelt romantic yearning is required.
