WithGTA 6coming next year, we can’t help but think back to how amazingGTA 5was. It was the first time the series allowed us to play as three separate characters in the same world, with the highlights being when the three got together for heists. Michael, Franklin, and Trevor each represented a certain type of GTA player as well.
Even the missions were more thought out than the old ‘go here and kill a guy’ formula. Instead, it was something like ‘go here, shoot down a plane, chase it on a dirt bike, and then kill the guy’. However, not every mission can be perfect, and GTA 5 definitely had some low points. The lowest of these points was undoubtedly the mission where Michael had to do yoga with his wife.
Trevor Would Not Have Allowed This To Happen
The yoga mission was unique as it had a special set of controls that required precision and control. But the truth is that it was actually quite difficult and even annoying. After you manage to clear the mission, yoga becomes available as a minigame, but it’s unlikely that anyone attempted it again, because it was just so bad.
The worst part about it is that you can even fail the mission if you don’t follow the steps correctly, with a message prompt saying “Michael did not reach enlightenment.” In fact, it seems even Ned Luke, the actor who played Michael in GTA 5, hates the mission because of the amount of work he had to put into it.
“Hands down the worst to shoot. Sweated my ass off for 8 hours,” replied Luke to a tweet that called the mission the worst one in the game (viaGamesRadar+). Luke probably had to pull off those yoga moves in real life for the minigame, in motion capture I assume. I’m sure it’s not easy to perform those yoga asanas, especially with mo-cap gear on.
While Michael is probably retired canonically, it seems there are references to him in the GTA 6 trailer. Firstly, his boat was spotted near Jason’s house, leading fans to speculate how it got there after it was stolen. After that,the movie he helped produce in GTA 5 was also spotted in the trailer.
