Okay, so everyone is super excited about Grand Theft Auto 6, the biggest game ever. We're just waiting for it, and it's all over the news, all over mainstream media, all over YouTube. Chris Roberts is shitting his pants in fear because of Grand Theft Auto 6 ruining his Squadron 42 launch. Nah, there's no game. He hasn't got anything. It's just an excuse. But guys, I don't think it's going to do as well as people think it is. Maybe I'm super wrong here. It's just going to break every record, but there's five reasons why I think this is not going to be nearly as good as people think. Well, I know it's not going to be good. The thing I'm wondering is in terms of sales, is this going to do what people think it's going to do? Because I don't see it. Now, five reasons. First of all, the unrealistic expectations of this thing.
00:16
Speaker A
We are expecting what is a billion-dollar game, two-billion-dollar game. They're throwing a shit ton of money at promoting it and advertising all over the place. It's... And this is what you see all it's... it's everywhere you look, this is what you see.
00:29
Speaker A
Okay, right. So, the expectations are just fucking enormous, and I very much doubt it's going to live up to that. So, that's number one. Number two is that this is... This has aged. A lot of time has gone by. The world is not the same. People are not the same. What they want to see in a video game, not the same either. So, if you look at it, it is not all that different from Grand Theft Auto 5.
00:41
Speaker A
In terms of graphics, it looks good, but Grand Theft Auto 5 also looked very good, too. Is that something... Oh, no, these graphics are not realistic. Oh, who... Whoever said that? Yes, graphics are going to be fine. Maybe more than fine. Maybe they're going to be very, very nice. It's going to be very pretty. That does not a game make, in case you didn't know. Just having pretty graphics and up to a point, it's... it's like there's other things that I care more about in a game rather than wow, this... this water reflection is really blowing my mind. No, no one ever said that about any game. There's other things. There's moments. There's a story. And this brings me quickly into the next point,
00:53
Speaker A
which is it's fucking woke. Yes, in case you haven't noticed, it's about this empowered Latinx, which is fucking insulting. I'm actually from South America. You do... you cannot get more South American than me, all right? Just from the other end... end of the freaking continent. And this isn't representing anyone. There's no Latinos anywhere in Central or South America. No one speaks fucking Latin. Everyone speaks Spanish except for those fuckers in Brazil speaking Portuguese, but it's Spanish. Right? If you want to get technical, it would be like Ibero-American, you know, from the Iberian Peninsula, if you want to get into all of that stuff.
01:07
Speaker A
But no, there's no Latinos or Latinas. Latino itself is a label created by left-wing woke Karens in colleges in the United States that just need to tag people with something of their own creation. This is just like as insulting as me expecting, you know, whenever I make reference to anyone in America, it's... it's going to be Barbies and Kens.
01:20
Speaker A
Yes, Barbies and everyone is Barbie. No, you don't walk down the street in the United States and see all Barbies. The same thing you don't see this. This does not exist. This is what inspired in what? In this fat-ass Jennifer Lopez that some people think she's hot? She was never hot. She was never attractive. She's fucking garbage. But hey, Latinx.
01:33
Speaker A
So yeah, it's woke like fuck. The other thing is things have changed. This is all kind of tied in terms of, you know, how much things have changed over the years. Now, and people, you know, first of all, this is something I do know very well, which is the economy is not the same. 80 bucks, 100 bucks is a lot of money these days. And it's a lot of money for the mentality that we now have of you pay... play games that are for free. You know, yes, I know I'm coming from Star Citizen, which is thousands of dollars in ships, but that's another drama of its own. But, in general, the newer generations pay what? 50, 20, 30 bucks?
01:46
Speaker A
And you expect to have something good. Uh this is the... the... the trailer itself was behind a paywall. The game is going to be fucking expensive. The people that used to play this game are now older, have other things to spend money on, and they're not making as much money as before, and they're spending a lot more on our fuck. Your... your player base has aged. And you... you now try to sell this to a bunch of what?
02:00
Speaker A
Early 20s and whatnot? Uh it's going to be a tough sale, man. It's going to be difficult. And last but not least, fuck her. Her every... In case you haven't noticed, this is all from, uh, YouTube. Just GTA 6 YouTube, this is what you get. You get this, you get this, you get this, angry Latinx, angry brown person, angry brown, angry brown, angry brown with her hand on her sidekick. This guy, by the way, he's her fuck. He's... he's not the main character of this thing. She's everywhere. She is the thing. And it's obvious when you see the... the... the trailer that they have, 26 minutes long, which I cannot reproduce here because, of course, you get copyrighted by YouTube, but it's all her. They kind of tweaked the story a little bit so as to make it a tiny little bit obvious, but still it's so fucking obvious. And again, this game peaked in Grand Theft Auto V. Back when a bunch of nerds with a sense of humor had you banging hookers in a back alley. And... and... and... and you know yeah on the... yeah banging hookers in a fucking dark park. Now what is it you do?
02:15
Speaker A
Holding hands. I want to hold hands, sweetheart. Really? What... what nerd came up with this? Well, none because they don't have any nerds. They have a bunch of blue-haired green-haired morbidly obese cat lady activists that are the people that are now working Rockstar.
02:29
Speaker A
And this is the fucking they do. And they try to make it edgy and cool and you're a criminal and... and the side quests and the charac- it's... it's a shadow of what Grand Theft Auto V was. And your big booty Latina isn't convincing anyone. I don't want to fucking play like a brown angry, you know, cleaning lady. That... that's not something that I find appealing. A... a game is supposed to be fantasy. It's supposed to be your alter ego. A tough dude that does everything that you dream of doing, you know? But it's a fantasy world. I don't want to... I don't... I don't want to play cleaning lady. Are you fucking crazy?
02:45
Speaker A
Are you nuts? Well, apparently they are because this is the game they made. And showing in the trailers, you go to her apartment. It's all about her. It's aged like fuck. It's an old game from back in the days of female empowerment and those are long gone. So you're going to pay 80 bucks, 100 bucks to be a brown Latinx and have a... a fuck boyfriend that just tags along with you in your adventures.
02:57
Speaker A
Um no. Fuck no. I'm not going to do that. You probably are not going to do that either. And the game looks okay in terms of the mechanics and whatnot, but again, I remember playing Grand Theft Auto 5. I had Franklin, which was a kick-ass character, Trevor, Michael. All of those fun. And this is not about... Again, it's not a... it... it... it needs to be fun. Back when a bunch of nerds made San Andreas, you were playing a black guy. Not black, black as fuck. You were a criminal, you were a gangster, you were a gangbanger, black dude in the hood.
03:13
Speaker A
Yes, it was fun. It had... It had a soul. It had character. It was funny. It was laughing about itself, joking about the idea of you be... Of course, no one is a fucking criminal. I don't need to be represented in my video game. What was it that... What is it that I would be doing? Like sitting my ass in a computer working all day long? That is my representation?
03:18
Speaker A
Fuck. It's supposed to be fantasy. It's supposed to be exciting and fun and cool. And if you're going to give me a female character, give me the kind of female character that a nerd would have written. Make the guy, this dude.
