TheGodDamnMaster Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Why did R* put in a yoga mini-game? It feels completely out of place in a Grand Theft Auto game. Do you think it has any gameplay benefits, like increased stamina?

Cutter De Blanc Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yoga is badass, yo. This is WHY I'm buying GTA V. Honestly, I dunno. Seems like a Michael kinda activity. Gotta be stretchy to do heisty mission impossible type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutAQuarterIn Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I don't know if it gives you stamina or anything (god I hope it does have some sort of redeeming factor)but I do know it sounds more boring than pool, bowling or darts. Tennis doesn't sound super fun either. Pretty much my only worry about the game is Micheal's lackluster side activities.He might have one of the better back stories, but he makes up for that in dull side games. I'll give it a shot and try it out....but the whole idea sounds ridiculas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73duster Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I bet it's going to shock people in how interesting it turns out to be. I agree that it sounds boring, but i don't think Rockstar would just throw it in the game without making it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it raises some sort of stat, I'll be fine with it. But you would think if they can make yoga related to stats then why couldn't they figure out how to work in the bodybuilding?

MaddFool Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 i think it was put in for roleplaying reasons because from what i read in this forum a lot of ppl roleplay but that's just me we'll find out why it was put in soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTFJAES Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Maybe it is increasing stamina. Well, taken in point that we are able to do triathlons in V I think that yoga will be one of the things that will help you do a better time. (get the protags in better shape) I have also thought about other stuff that could help the protags get in better form. I mean, i don't think that Trevor is able to da a triathlon in the start, so maybe a little run on the beach also could get them in better shape?? What do you think?

GourangaMaster Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I dont understand why people dislike this minigame, I cant wait to maybe unlock some new yogamats and even a spandex outfit to match. Considering this is included my hopes are that they will also have a tai-chi or even better a meditation mini game! Imagine that. You walk over the floating ying yang icon and your character sits down and "oooms". The best part would be it doesnt even have to stop. The protag could sit there and meditate as long as you like and if you sit for a whole hour you unlock a different higher toned "ooom". That would be the best thing ever!

Maybe because then everyone would go for 100% muscle, and maybe Rockstar doesn't want all three protagonists to look ripped, maybe they want to decide themselves what type of body build Michael, Trevor, and Franklin have.

Coolstream Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 who said its a mini game? its probably just pedestrians or from a mission No, it's an activity you can do.

If yoga increases stamina that's something we don't visually see as an improvement on the characters body. Bodybuilding requires modelling multiple body times and working new animations for each in the HD era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicPunk Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I just can't see Trevor, or me, doing yoga. We solve our problems at the bottom of a beer can. That being said, I will try it with an open mind(even though at this point I think it's gonna be fu*kin stoopid). May get surprised, who knows?

People seem to think because of Yoga, there are no buyable properties - or muscle/fat system. Which just goes to show how f*cking stupid some people here are, because a small minigame like that wouldn't purge out two features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, the way the GTA minigame trend is going, we will have checkers, knitting and shuffleboard in GTA 6 Since it looks like GTA protags are ageing along with the Housers, who knows -- maybe there will be wheelchair racing by GTA 7.
