>>42374>>42382the whole "bonnie and clyde" thing they're going for with this one kinda makes me think about Catalina and Claude from GTA III. It was a really shallow story but GTA III starts with your girlfriend Catalina betraying you and leaving you for dead. The entire story is just you trying to get revenge on her and everyone else kind of serving as a stepping stone or obstacle in that path.
Then later on San Andreas came out and CJ does missions with Catalina briefly while stranded in a rural area, only for her to run off with Claude.
Catalina was kind of this psychopathic and sadistic character with no redeeming qualities, and Claude was a blank slate with no personality, so the 8 years they were together between 1992 and 2000 is a blur as far as the GTA lore goes. But I remember thinking as a kid that they would eventually fill that in. I was wrong of course because they abandoned the original 3D universe and started fresh with GTA IV. Ostensibly V and VI take place in the same universe as IV, but with VI centering around a couple doing Bonnie and Clyde shit it's almost like my idea came true, but in another way.
Since RDR2 had fairly good writing and story, at least compared to the stuff they were making back in the PS2 era, I feel like these characters will be more interesting and compelling than Catalina and Claude were, but at the same time I feel like the story will end with them betraying each other and the player having to pick which one they want to play as after the story ends. GTA V did something like that, though of course there was a feel good option where you could keep all 3 protagonists.
That is my prediction, it will end in betrayal.
