I don't care if Gta 6 is 30 fps. Wait for pc release if you're obsessed about fps this much. Rdr2 was one of the best game ever created and people played it 30 fps no problem.
If ur game is as good as RDR2, I'll play it at 30 fps. I'm 100% sure GTA 6 will be as good as RDR2, so I'll play it at 30 fps. It's not hypocrisy that people don't play every 30 fps game because 99%

In trailer 2 there's a scene where Lucia is mocking Jason for mumbling. I think it looks like she's mocking him for how he said something earlier in the clip (we don't see it). Maybe this means that
