universetwisters Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've been thinking a lot about this lately, What happens in-game when Michael beats his family? Let's say for example, Michael returns home after a night of driving around and sits down to watch TV. Suddenly, he gets up from the couch and puts Tracy in a headlock as she walks by. When Amanda walks by and tries to reprimand Michael, he grabs her by the back of the head and slams it through a glass coffee table. Then, in a fit of rage, he goes up into Jimmy's room, smashes his television, and slaps his son silly. Michael then leaves home to go for burgers & root beer and to calm down. My question is, though, what happens after that? Will they respawn next time you enter Michael's mansion and act like nothing happened, or will they be gone and hiding out somewhere else in town, fearing for their safety?

Guest Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You'd probably be forced to reload a previous save. Or they'd be hospitalised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalsZHP Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Simple! I doubt you'll be able to do any of that stuff, as fun as it sounds. RDR didn't let you fire a gun when it was pointed to friendlies IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istoned Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Im assuming like in previous GTAs that some of the cutscene characters we will not be able to interact with, except maybe jimmy but then id say hes like the protagonist and have excellent health insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brwhizz Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think it'll work just like Red Dead Redemption when it comes to family: They'll have daily routines and you'll be able to talk to them, but not hurt them. This is an area where it makes sense for Rockstar to remove our freedom to harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reshe Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) This is ridiculous, how do you even think up this stuff UT? God forbid we have mayhem in a game where we can cause genocide across the entire city. Or would you prefer someone shot their wife and kids in real life instead of in the game?

For narrative purposes, if nothing else, it makes sense that we shouldn't be able to harm the family: We could hardly take Jimmy out on a weekend fishing trip for a bit of father/son bonding if we had broken his arm and decked his mother the day before.

R* is known for being comical like this. I thought it was very hilarious when you could shoot your wife in the face with a shotgun in Red Dead. They even have dialogue for it.

When that failed I took out some dynamite and blew her up (she died) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sullinator Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 This is another one of those things that you guys are over expecting what this game will do. No, I think if it is possible to beat on your family, that they will not react to you differently later. If anything they might scream or say something when you're doing it, but that's about it. If anything you may be able to beat on them, but they'll probably get right back up afterwards if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it. All of you. You are ridiculous. Of course you resort to an insult instead of an argument, like 95% of this forum. If you don't like what the game features, go play viva pinata, because that game is made just for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
