Como REALMENTE vai ser a PRIMEIRA MADRUGADA de GTA 6? — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Everyone has imagined this moment at
2. 0:02least once. It's almost 11 PM on
3. 0:05Wednesday, November 18, 2026. Tomorrow
4. 0:09is a normal workday, but that doesn't
5. 0:11really matter now, because in less than
6. 0:13an hour, the most anticipated game in
7. 0:15history will finally be released. And
8. 0:24if you think you know how this night
9. 0:26will end, I doubt it, because the first
10. 0:28hour with the game in hand will be very
11. 0:30different from what we’re imagining.
12. 0:33In my opinion, the experience of
13. 0:35getting to the game will be just as
14. 0:36intense as playing it. And here in
15. 0:39Brazil, it gets even funnier, because
16. 0:41November 19, 2026, falls on a Thursday,
17. 0:43and since the launch is at midnight, it
18. 0:45will be right at the transition from
19. 0:47Wednesday to Thursday. In other words,
20. 0:50everyone will face that first hour
21. 0:52knowing full well that in a few hours,
22. 0:53the alarm clock will go off for a
23. 0:54normal workday or school. And honestly,
24. 0:57it won't be any surprise if, on the
25. 0:59morning of the 19th, an unusually high
26. 1:01number of people show up feeling sick
27. 1:03and handing in doctor's notes. But
28. 1:05before we can even manage to play,
29. 1:07we’ll have to survive the most
30. 1:09painful part of all, which is simply
31. 1:11getting the game to open. Millions of
32. 1:14people will already have the preload
33. 1:15ready, staring at that countdown like
34. 1:17it’s New Year's Eve. And when
35. 1:23midnight strikes, everyone will hit
36. 1:25play at the same time. And it's obvious
37. 1:27that something will go wrong. Many
38. 1:29people will realize they accidentally
39. 1:30bought the wrong version. Others will
40. 1:32have the preload simply stuck, and
41. 1:34there will surely be that one guy
42. 1:37staring at the installation bar stuck
43. 1:39at 99%for over 20 minutes, almost going
44. 1:41crazy with anxiety. The feeling is the
45. 1:44same as a traffic light stuck on red
46. 1:46right when you’re in the most hurry.
47. 1:48It makes no sense, but it feels
48. 1:50intentional, because after waiting for
49. 1:52over 10 years, every minute of this
50. 1:54will feel like an entire year. And it's
51. 1:56not just those who bought the digital
52. 1:57version who will suffer. Those who went
53. 1:59after the physical copy will likely
54. 2:01have faced a gigantic line to buy a
55. 2:03copy, or if they bought it online,
56. 2:04they’ll be dealing with that absurd
57. 2:06anxiety, checking the tracking code
58. 2:08every 5 minutes to see if it will
59. 2:10arrive before midnight. And let's be
60. 2:12honest, no one is going to sleep early
61. 2:13that night. Everyone will swear they
62. 2:15are only staying up to follow the
63. 2:18countdown. But we know very well how
64. 2:20this story ends. When it hits midnight,
65. 2:22that countdown screen will disappear.
66. 2:25And this is the moment when most people
67. 2:27will simply freeze, not knowing quite
68. 2:28what to do. First, you press play, the
69. 2:32home screen appears, and you’ll
70. 2:33likely just stare at it for a while.
71. 2:37Just like we used to stay planted on
72. 2:39that GTA V opening screen, just
73. 2:40watching the characters and scenes play
74. 2:42in the background to that wonderful
75. 2:44soundtrack. Only this time, after more
76. 2:48than a decade of waiting, this moment
77. 2:50will hit differently. People will be
78. 2:54screenshotting the home screen,
79. 2:55checking every menu option just to
80. 2:57examine them, and tweaking graphics
81. 2:59settings repeatedly to confirm it's
82. 3:01real. And when we finally start the
83. 3:04game, comes the funniest part of it all
84. 3:06. We will have completely forgotten how
85. 3:08to play GTA. Years of playing GTA V
86. 3:10left everything on autopilot. We
87. 3:12already know which button opens the
88. 3:14weapon wheel, brings up the phone, and
89. 3:16enters a car. But in GTA 6, none of
90. 3:18that will apply. So the first instinct
91. 3:20will be to start mashing every button
92. 3:22just to find out what each one does.
93. 3:25Opening the inventory, using the phone,
94. 3:26switching cameras, and trying to
95. 3:27interact with absolutely everything on
96. 3:29screen. And speaking of the phone, that
97. 3:32one deserves a bit more attention,
98. 3:33because now it's no longer just a flat
99. 3:35menu on the corner of the screen. Now
100. 3:37the camera goes over the character's
101. 3:39shoulder, and the phone becomes a real
102. 3:41object within the game. It wouldn't be
103. 3:44a surprise if, in the middle of all
104. 3:46that confusion, someone accidentally
105. 3:48punches the first NPC they see just
106. 3:50because the buttons changed. But in my
107. 3:53opinion, the most interesting part of
108. 3:55that first hour won't be reaching the
109. 3:57first mission, it will be forgetting
110. 3:58the story entirely and just walking
111. 4:00across the map. After years, Vice will
112. 4:03only have been seen through trailers
113. 4:05and screenshots. The first sensation of
114. 4:07being able to explore that massive map
115. 4:09will be absurd. People will be playing
116. 4:12basketball on some court, going to the
117. 4:14gym, diving, kayaking, or entering a
118. 4:16random shop just to see what's inside.
119. 4:20Even inside Lucia or Jason's house,
120. 4:22you'll be able to move things, like
121. 4:24grabbing food from the fridge, sitting
122. 4:26on the couch, and just watching TV. And
123. 4:29it's no exaggeration to imagine that
124. 4:31for many players, that will literally
125. 4:32be the first thing they do in the game.
126. 4:35There’s sure to be some maniac
127. 4:36swimming toward the ocean to try and
128. 4:38reach the edge of the map and see
129. 4:39what’s there. And there will be those
130. 4:41who keep checking every door handle
131. 4:43just to confirm it’s not just set
132. 4:45dressing. It’s like the feeling of
133. 4:47walking into an amusement park for the
134. 4:48first time. And before enjoying any
135. 4:50ride, there’s that urge to run to the
136. 4:52back of the park, just to grasp the
137. 4:54scale of it all and see all the
138. 4:55possibilities. And of course, sooner or
139. 4:58later, someone will stop exploring in
140. 5:00peace and commit their first crime
141. 5:01without even realizing it. Maybe a
142. 5:03poorly executed turn ends up running
143. 5:04over an NPC. Maybe someone testing the
144. 5:06new driving physics ends up destroying
145. 5:08someone’s garden by accident. And
146. 5:10this time, before jumping straight to
147. 5:12violence, there are other options on
148. 5:14the table, because the game brought
149. 5:16back that social interaction system we
150. 5:18saw in Red Dead Redemption 2. You can
151. 5:20greet, provoke, question, or even
152. 5:22threaten, depending on the situation.
153. 5:24And it’s right at that moment that
154. 5:26we’ll run head-first into the new
155. 5:28wanted system. And that’s when
156. 5:30we’ll find out how long it takes for
157. 5:31the cops to arrive, if witnesses really
158. 5:33report you, or if you can escape by
159. 5:35changing clothes or cars. And surely,
160. 5:38someone will commit every barbaric
161. 5:40crime possible just to see how far the
162. 5:42system goes. And that’s how, with no
163. 5:46tutorial at all, most will learn how
164. 5:47crime works in GTA 6. While that’s
165. 5:50happening, somewhere in the world,
166. 5:52someone will have already discovered a
167. 5:54hidden mechanic that nobody expected.
168. 5:55Maybe an NPC reacts in a completely
169. 5:58unexpected way. Maybe a door that
170. 6:00looked like decoration actually leads
171. 6:01somewhere real. And that’s how the
172. 6:04first viral GTA 6 clip is born. Someone
173. 6:07discovers it, posts it, and within
174. 6:08minutes, everyone drops what they were
175. 6:10doing to try it themselves. And when we
176. 6:13see clips like that, we think: "Wait,
177. 6:15you can do that?" And it’s right at
178. 6:17that point that the experience starts
179. 6:19to split into two very different paths.
180. 6:21On one side, there are those who prefer
181. 6:23to take it slow, paying attention to
182. 6:25every detail of the map, treating the
183. 6:27launch like a vacation. On the other,
184. 6:30there are those who will be skipping
185. 6:32cutscenes, memorizing routes, rushing
186. 6:33to finish the campaign before any
187. 6:34spoilers pop up on screen. And both
188. 6:37sides will swear they’re playing the
189. 6:39right way. Those who prefer to explore
190. 6:41will say that anyone rushing through
191. 6:42the whole game is wasting years of the
192. 6:44devs 'hard work. And the speedrunners
193. 6:46will say that while the other group is
194. 6:48still admiring the sunset at the start
195. 6:50of the game, they’ve already unlocked
196. 6:51the entire map. And deep down, both are
197. 6:54right. In their own way, of course. But
198. 6:57while these two groups argue, the rest
199. 6:59of the internet will have turned into a
200. 7:01minefield, because there's always that
201. 7:02one content creator who gets early
202. 7:04access to the game. And as soon as the
203. 7:06game launches, they post a video
204. 7:08explaining the entire story ending. And
205. 7:10the worst part is, you don’t even
206. 7:11have to click on anything to ruin the
207. 7:13surprise. All it takes is a thumbnail
208. 7:14in the wrong place or a comment from
209. 7:16some random person. And just like that,
210. 7:18a moment that took years to arrive is
211. 7:20gone. So, for those who really want to
212. 7:22avoid spoilers, that first hour will
213. 7:24have to be far away from your phone,
214. 7:26because escaping the cops in the game
215. 7:27might be easier than escaping the
216. 7:29internet. And when we finally look at
217. 7:31the clock again, that first hour will
218. 7:33have already flown by. We probably
219. 7:35won't have made any real progress in
220. 7:37the main story. We’ll have committed
221. 7:39two or three accidental crimes,
222. 7:40discovered a new mechanic by mistake,
223. 7:42walked through neighborhood after
224. 7:44neighborhood, and gotten distracted by
225. 7:45some NPC doing something completely
226. 7:47senseless. But that’s exactly the
227. 7:49point. That first hour was never about
228. 7:52progressing through the campaign, it
229. 7:53was about understanding firsthand what
230. 7:55kind of world Rockstar really created.
231. 7:57And back to our reality here in Brazil,
232. 8:00imagine living through all of this at 3
233. 8:02or 4 in the morning on a Thursday,
234. 8:04knowing the alarm will go off in a few
235. 8:07hours for work or school. I’m sure
236. 8:09you won't just play for an hour, and
237. 8:11you probably won’t even feel tired
238. 8:13due to all the dopamine released from
239. 8:14those 10 years of waiting. At the end
240. 8:16of the day, maybe we’re looking
241. 8:18forward to the wrong emotion. We
242. 8:20imagine the big moment will be some
243. 8:22specific point in the story, when in
244. 8:24reality, the true emotion lies in
245. 8:26something much simpler: realizing that
246. 8:29what’s on the screen is no longer a
247. 8:31trailer, a theory, or a screenshot.
248. 8:33It’s the real game, with the
249. 8:35controller in your hand. And every
250. 8:37silly thing you discover from that
251. 8:39moment on will be yours and yours alone
252. 8:41. Leave a comment below on the first
253. 9:06thing you’ll do when you can finally
254. 9:08jump into the game. I don’t know
255. 9:10about me, but I
