  1. 0:00November 19th, midnight. 13 years of
  2. 0:03waiting, and the play button finally
  3. 0:06lights up. You get through the intro
  4. 0:08mission, the map opens up in front of
  5. 0:10you, and then you freeze.
  6. 0:13Story or world, rob a store, or watch
  7. 0:16the sunrise, steal a car, or steal a
  8. 0:20helicopter.
  9. 0:22Most people are going to waste their
  10. 0:23first night. They'll lose their money in
  11. 0:25the first hour, wreck their criminal
  12. 0:27profile before they even know what it
  13. 0:29is, and drive straight past half the
  14. 0:31best stuff in the game. So, this is your
  15. 0:34day one game plan. 30 things from what
  16. 0:38to sort out before you press start to
  17. 0:40setting yourself up in the first hour to
  18. 0:43the Leonida bucket list for your first
  19. 0:45night, plus the five mistakes that are
  20. 0:48going to cost a lot of people. Let's go.
  21. 0:52Two quick ones before day one even
  22. 0:54starts. One, get the boring stuff done
  23. 0:58early. Buy the game before November 20th
  24. 1:01and you get [music] the vintage Vice
  25. 1:02City pack, including a 55 Vapid Stan and
  26. 1:07a weapon pattern based on Tommy
  27. 1:09Versetti's Palm Tree shirt. Clear way
  28. 1:12more storage than you think you need
  29. 1:14because Rockstar still hasn't said how
  30. 1:16big the game is. then preload the moment
  31. 1:19it opens at local midnight on November
  32. 1:2212th. Physical copies are just a code in
  33. 1:25a box, so you're downloading either way.
  34. 1:28And if your digital pre-order came with
  35. 1:30a free month of GTA Plus, set a reminder
  36. 1:33because it renews at full price.
  37. 1:36Two, GTA 6 unlocks at midnight in a
  38. 1:40rolling release that starts in New
  39. 1:41Zealand. So trust the countdown in your
  40. 1:44own console store, not a random one
  41. 1:46online. That also means New Zealand gets
  42. 1:49about 18 hours of play before the US
  43. 1:52East Coast does. So mute GTA 6, Jason
  44. 1:56and Lucia everywhere before the spoilers
  45. 1:59start. And to kill the last few hours,
  46. 2:02the Miami Heat play as Vice City on
  47. 2:05November 18th on a court built just for
  48. 2:08that night. The intro mission is done.
  49. 2:11Before you go anywhere, these six things
  50. 2:14will decide how the rest of your night
  51. 2:15goes. One, GTA 6 doesn't play like GTA
  52. 2:205, so spend 5 minutes here first. Aim
  53. 2:24assist is weaker by default, but Rob
  54. 2:27Nelson says it's tunable. You can set
  55. 2:29your default walking speed, so no more
  56. 2:32slow walking. The mini map can stay on,
  57. 2:35turn off, hide while you're on foot, or
  58. 2:38become a Red Dead style compass. Kill
  59. 2:41cams, crash cams, [music]
  60. 2:43and on-screen prompts can all be turned
  61. 2:45off. And if you stream, previewers say
  62. 2:48there's a toggle that cuts out the
  63. 2:49licensed music. Two, this is the big
  64. 2:53one. GTA 6 tracks what kind of criminal
  65. 2:56[music] you are. Professional,
  66. 2:59aggressive, violent, or psycho. Jason
  67. 3:02and Lucia each have their own. Killing
  68. 3:05in self-defense or during a mission
  69. 3:07doesn't count against you. going on a
  70. 3:09pointless rampage does. And previewers
  71. 3:12say that if you go far enough, the
  72. 3:14profile cracks and shatters and it stays
  73. 3:17that way for the rest of your
  74. 3:18playthrough. So decide now what kind of
  75. 3:21criminal you want to be. Three, your
  76. 3:24personal vehicle isn't just a car. It
  77. 3:27holds your full weapons loadout, and the
  78. 3:29Scooter Bros app will deliver it to you
  79. 3:31anywhere. But in the preview build,
  80. 3:34there were only three slots. One for
  81. 3:36Jason, one for Lucia, and one extra. So,
  82. 3:40don't register the first shiny thing you
  83. 3:42steal. Pick something fast, something
  84. 3:45with a big trunk, something you actually
  85. 3:47like. Garages for extra storage can be
  86. 3:50bought later. Four, you can carry two
  87. 3:54concealed handguns and two long guns,
  88. 3:56one on your back, one in your hands.
  89. 3:59Everything else lives in your personal
  90. 4:01vehicle's trunk or in a locker at
  91. 4:03ammunition. and people notice what
  92. 4:06you're carrying. Walk around holding a
  93. 4:08rifle and they'll back away and cops
  94. 4:10will warn you. For your first night, one
  95. 4:13long gun on your back is plenty. Five.
  96. 4:17Any cash in your pocket is gone if
  97. 4:19you're wasted or busted. Your bank
  98. 4:22balance is safe, but you can only
  99. 4:24deposit at an ATM, not from your phone.
  100. 4:28So, before you do anything stupid, and
  101. 4:30you will find an ATM.
  102. 4:32Six. This sounds like a joke. It isn't.
  103. 4:36Jason and Lucia's relationship is a real
  104. 4:38system, and just doing missions together
  105. 4:41might not be enough to keep them
  106. 4:42together. Ignore her texts, and it takes
  107. 4:45a hit. Reply, send the goodnight text,
  108. 4:49spend time together. Even going to the
  109. 4:52gym together counts as a date. Now, the
  110. 4:55fun part. Here's the Leonida bucket list
  111. 4:57for night one. one. Ask GTA fans what
  112. 5:02they're doing first, and a surprising
  113. 5:04number give the same answer. Pull over
  114. 5:07somewhere and watch the first sunrise.
  115. 5:09The game starts down in the Keys, so
  116. 5:12you'll probably see it over the water.
  117. 5:14Rockstar even built wind into the world.
  118. 5:17There are offshore breezes after sunset,
  119. 5:19and gusts send ripples across the water.
  120. 5:2313 years of trailers, and this is the
  121. 5:25first one you'll see live. Two, Rockstar
  122. 5:29told one previewer the beach crowds
  123. 5:32change with the time of day. So when
  124. 5:34they switched the game to the afternoon,
  125. 5:36the beach was packed just like the
  126. 5:38screenshots. Go in the afternoon and
  127. 5:41look down, the sand takes footprints.
  128. 5:44Three. One of my favorite preview
  129. 5:47stories. El Rubius wanted a helicopter,
  130. 5:50so he walked into a hotel lobby, took
  131. 5:53the elevator all the way to the top, and
  132. 5:55walked out onto a rooftop helipad with
  133. 5:58no loading screen at any point. There
  134. 6:01was a helicopter sitting there, so he
  135. 6:03took it. Try it on night one. Your first
  136. 6:06proper look at Vice City from the air is
  137. 6:08worth it. Four, for the first time in
  138. 6:12GTA, the radio follows you on foot.
  139. 6:15Jason and Lucia have earbuds connected
  140. 6:18to their phones, and there are ondemand
  141. 6:20podcasts, too. Flash FM is back. There's
  142. 6:24Dirty South Classics for Southern Hip
  143. 6:26Hop and Backcount Radio with a host who
  144. 6:30broadcast from an airboat. Go for a walk
  145. 6:32down Ocean Drive with your own
  146. 6:34soundtrack. Five. Burger Shot and
  147. 6:37Cluckenbell both have drive-thrus now,
  148. 6:40or you can go in and sit down. A
  149. 6:43convenience store hot dog will even top
  150. 6:45up your health. Just remember, what you
  151. 6:48eat changes your weight. And yes,
  152. 6:51somebody on Reddit has already said
  153. 6:53their first move is asking for a
  154. 6:55military discount as Jason. Six.
  155. 7:00Almost every [music] store can be
  156. 7:02robbed, and the small ones aren't even
  157. 7:04marked on the map. Do it properly. Mask
  158. 7:07on, gun hidden until you need it. Then
  159. 7:11decide. Grab the register and run or go
  160. 7:14for the safe. Look around before you
  161. 7:17start. In one preview, the safe code was
  162. 7:20written on an employees desk. And check
  163. 7:23the 3D map first. It can show you
  164. 7:26roughly what the job is worth and where
  165. 7:29the back door is. Seven. Leonid's
  166. 7:33criminals are busy without you. One
  167. 7:35previewer hit a traffic jam caused by a
  168. 7:38crashed getaway car [music] with the
  169. 7:40robbers's loot scattered across the road
  170. 7:42and took it for himself. Another found
  171. 7:45two robbers trapped inside a jewelry
  172. 7:47store asking for help and took over the
  173. 7:50job. One warning, stolen cash can be
  174. 7:54marked and that has to be laundered
  175. 7:56before you can spend it. Eight.
  176. 7:59At some point, a completely naked man
  177. 8:02may appear in the middle of a busy
  178. 8:04street asking you to take him home. Help
  179. 8:07him. It turns into a proper side event.
  180. 8:10There's a reward at the end, and the
  181. 8:12previewer who saw it said the cutscene
  182. 8:15was hilarious.
  183. 8:17That's all I'm saying. Nine. In IGN's
  184. 8:20demo, Lucia ran into a man living in a
  185. 8:23dumpster. You can give him pills or not.
  186. 8:27You can come back later and he'll give
  187. 8:29you legal advice. Or you can just climb
  188. 8:32in with him. Nobody knows why. Find him
  189. 8:35anyway. 10.
  190. 8:38Rockstar says Leonita's politics come at
  191. 8:41you sideways. You'll see election signs,
  192. 8:44hear political talk shows on the radio,
  193. 8:46and get a rooc call from a campaign on
  194. 8:48Jason's phone. Answer it at least once.
  195. 8:52Rockstar satire is at its best when it's
  196. 8:55this petty.
  197. 8:5611.
  198. 8:58Jason and Lucia can't post anything, but
  199. 9:00they can watch. And previewers say that
  200. 9:03if you watch an influencer's live
  201. 9:05stream, you can go and find them out in
  202. 9:07the world, wherever they're streaming
  203. 9:09from. Pick one and go and crash their
  204. 9:11stream. 12. Some shops have magazines
  205. 9:15you can actually pick up and read.
  206. 9:18Previewers say magazines and comic books
  207. 9:20are collectibles, and there's a scanner
  208. 9:22to help you find hidden items. If you're
  209. 9:25going for 100%, start your collection on
  210. 9:28night one. 13.
  211. 9:30You can't just walk up and pet every dog
  212. 9:32anymore. You ask the owner first, and
  213. 9:35the answer isn't always yes. Some dogs
  214. 9:38bark, and some owners get hostile. When
  215. 9:41it works, you can pet, scold, or study
  216. 9:44the dog. Even the leashes have physics.
  217. 9:48One previewer got tangled in one.
  218. 9:5114. There are more than 170 animal
  219. 9:55species in Leonida, including manatees,
  220. 9:58flamingos, pelicans, cane toads,
  221. 10:01iguanas, and reesus macac monkeys, which
  222. 10:05really do live wild in Florida. Some
  223. 10:08animals are classed as rare,
  224. 10:10discoverable, or legendary, and Rockstar
  225. 10:13is keeping those secret. Somebody is
  226. 10:15going to find the first legendary animal
  227. 10:17on day one. Why not you? 15. Grab scuba
  228. 10:22gear and get under the water. Rockstar
  229. 10:25says you'll find different shark
  230. 10:26species, whales, rays, turtles, and
  231. 10:30jellyfish down there. And previewers say
  232. 10:32there are shipwrecks and hidden treasure
  233. 10:34on the seabed. The ocean floor might be
  234. 10:37the least explored part of the map for
  235. 10:39weeks. 16. Remember Jason's awkward
  236. 10:43backflip into the water that went viral?
  237. 10:46Turns out you control that. When you
  238. 10:48jump into water, you choose your speed,
  239. 10:50whether you flip, and which way you
  240. 10:52rotate. Find the tallest thing next to
  241. 10:55the water, and practice until it doesn't
  242. 10:57look like that. 17. Make your first date
  243. 11:00a good one. Mini golf, a game of pool,
  244. 11:04kaying through the mangroves, or the
  245. 11:06rooftop bar from the extended look where
  246. 11:08there's a button to hold hands. It's not
  247. 11:11just cute. Previewers say the
  248. 11:13relationship can affect how well Jason
  249. 11:15and Lucia work together on robberies.
  250. 11:1818.
  251. 11:20Rockstar's own description of Northern
  252. 11:22Leonida reads like a party invitation.
  253. 11:25There are ATV trails, a drunken mudpark
  254. 11:29party, demolition derby races on
  255. 11:31floodlit oval tracks at night, mountain
  256. 11:34bike trails, and bass fishing in a
  257. 11:36cypress lake. Vice City gets the
  258. 11:39attention, but the north might have the
  259. 11:41best nights in the game.
  260. 11:4319. Leonida gets tropical storms and
  261. 11:47even hurricanes. The weather is local,
  262. 11:49so you can stand somewhere sunny and
  263. 11:51watch it pouring down across the water.
  264. 11:54After the rain, puddles stick around,
  265. 11:56and in the right light, you can spot a
  266. 11:59rainbow. Nobody knows how often the big
  267. 12:01storms come yet. If you see one rolling
  268. 12:04in on night one, drive toward it.
  269. 12:0720. This is still Vice City. Flash FM is
  270. 12:11on the radio. The Tisha Waka Flea Market
  271. 12:14is in Rockstar's own description of the
  272. 12:16city. And in the extended look, a
  273. 12:19bartender is wearing a Love Fist crop
  274. 12:21top merch from the fictional rock band
  275. 12:24in the 2002 game. Hunt them down, then
  276. 12:27go and show off your Tommy Versetti gun
  277. 12:29pattern. 21. You watched the Heat play
  278. 12:33as Vice City the night before. Now go
  279. 12:36and find Vice City's version of their
  280. 12:37arena, the Sahara Arena, downtown with
  281. 12:41search lights sweeping the sky at night
  282. 12:44and the Bayside Ferris wheel nearby.
  283. 12:47Real arena on Wednesday, fake one on
  284. 12:50Thursday.
  285. 12:5122.
  286. 12:53The last one, and the most important,
  287. 12:56your map starts covered in fog. And Rob
  288. 12:59Nelson told IGN, "There's a whole layer
  289. 13:02of content that isn't marked with blips
  290. 13:04or icons at all." His words, "If you
  291. 13:08take a bit of time and explore, you will
  292. 13:10be rewarded a lot. So, pick a direction
  293. 13:14with nothing on it and drive." And now,
  294. 13:17the five mistakes a lot of people are
  295. 13:20going to make.
  296. 13:22One, rampaging with your cash on you.
  297. 13:26It's gone the moment you're wasted or
  298. 13:28busted. ATM first, chaos second. Two,
  299. 13:34shattering your criminal profile on the
  300. 13:37first night. Once it breaks, previewers
  301. 13:40say it stays broken for the whole
  302. 13:42playthrough. If you want a psycho run,
  303. 13:45save it for your second playthrough.
  304. 13:48Three, stealing a supercar straight
  305. 13:50away. High-end cars carry trackers that
  306. 13:53report where you are if you slow down,
  307. 13:56and you need a mechanic to remove them.
  308. 13:58You can't even register the expensive
  309. 14:00ones early in the game. And don't escape
  310. 14:03in a cop car, either. Every police car
  311. 14:06has a tracker, too. Take the rifle from
  312. 14:08its trunk instead. Four, leaving your
  313. 14:12partner behind in a shootout. It makes
  314. 14:15them angry, and it can hurt how well you
  315. 14:17work together later. One previewer flew
  316. 14:20off in a helicopter and forgot Jason
  317. 14:23completely. A moment later, Jason
  318. 14:26texted, "Forgetting something?"
  319. 14:29Five. Abandoning your car in a chase.
  320. 14:32The police will impound it, and getting
  321. 14:35it back costs more the longer you leave
  322. 14:37it. Previewers say you can sneak back
  323. 14:40and grab it before the tow truck
  324. 14:42arrives. And one bonus tip, when the
  325. 14:45Scooter Bros guy delivers your car, say
  326. 14:48thank you. In one preview, Rob Nelson
  327. 14:51noticed Jason and Lucia didn't thank the
  328. 14:54driver and said that's something they
  329. 14:57should change. Before we finish, four
  330. 15:00things people keep getting wrong about
  331. 15:02day one. The whole map is open from the
  332. 15:05first minute. Not quite. Rob Nelson says
  333. 15:08the game starts in the Keys near Jason's
  334. 15:10house before the map opens up. After
  335. 15:13that, you can go anywhere, anytime.
  336. 15:16Flying has only been seen in leaks. No,
  337. 15:19previewers flew helicopters at Rockstar
  338. 15:21North, including that one from the hotel
  339. 15:23roof. The gym teaches you new fighting
  340. 15:25moves like San Andreas. Nothing shown so
  341. 15:28far says that. The gym builds your
  342. 15:30health, your stamina, and your focus,
  343. 15:33and your body shows the work. 60 to 80%
  344. 15:36of buildings are enterable. That's a
  345. 15:38rumor. Rockstar's word is hundreds of
  346. 15:41interiors, including full hotels, which
  347. 15:44is plenty. That's the plan. Two things
  348. 15:47before you press start. Six to set
  349. 15:49yourself up, 22 for your first night,
  350. 15:52and five mistakes to avoid. If you do
  351. 15:56even half of this, your first night in
  352. 15:58Leonida is going to be a lot better than
  353. 16:01most people's. Two for the comments.
  354. 16:04One, what's the very first thing you're
  355. 16:07doing when the intro mission ends? And
  356. 16:09two, story first or world first? [music]
  357. 16:13I read all of them. If this helped, drop
  358. 16:15a like and subscribe. My 77 things and
  359. 16:1922 things videos go deeper on everything
  360. 16:22you can and can't do in GTA 6. They're
  361. 16:26linked right here. Thanks for watching
  362. 16:29and I'll see you in Leonida.
