who

>>724683795
I think he wrote Bully or something, which was game that came out for the Wii

>>724682302 (OP)
Pretty good to see Dan giving interviews.

>>724682302 (OP)

/v/ is dead. I bet Reddit already has a 10k liked thread. How the mighty has fallen...

>>724682302 (OP)
bro i cant stop myself from cringing everytime fridman talks

>>724682302 (OP)
i watched this guy interview todd howard for about 3 minutes before i nearly died of cringe

>>724685350
not much on *eddit anyway. people just read the articles that come out from it

>>724682302 (OP)
I get the hate for Lex, but he still gets some really great guests

turns out he really was the guy who wrote every single gta and he didnt write a single line for gta 6. its so over you guys

>>724685870
>and he didnt write a single line for gta 6.
no shit he left rockstar years ago lol
take2 shot down all of his ideas so he left

>>724685870
That's not the problem per se. There's talent everywhere, even if Dan's absence will be felt.
The main issue is that Take-Two Interactive has been removing completely milquetoast content from previous games.
Which tells me that GTA VI will not have anything actually edgy, and will be the blandest AAA game ever released.

>>724685929
i saw some cope from *eddit saying he might have left a script then left. now its really over

>>724683795
The guy that wrote the story for every grand theft auto and oversaw most of the development. He and Leslie Benzies are why anyone gives a flying fuck about GTA at all.

>>724686027
would have liked for him to delve deeper into the offensive perspective of his writing and his games. damn lex fridman

>>724682302 (OP)
2.5 hours is too long
tldw?

>>724685870
yeah, all the good people left r* after rdr2
no dan house, no lazlow, no benzies

>>724686062
GTA has a story?

>>724685870
I don't get why people were coping that he worked on 6
He left right after RDR2 released along with Lazlow and a bunch of other vets since Rockstar was becoming more and more corporate and less of a "boys club"

>>724685350
The fact that he's doing this before his game comes out tells me that it's all marketing. Am I the only one who thinks nobody goes on podcasts unless there's a financial incentive? Like, if I was Superman or something, I'd never accept interviews. That would just give my enemies information on how to manipulate me.

>>724682302 (OP)
>favorite GTA character was niko
>treated the voice actor like shit and underpaid him

>>724686938
Not that anon. Is his game releasing soon?

>>724685350
>>724685870
He's not the only one who wrote the stories, retard.
A lot of the senior writers who worked on every GTA since 3 are still working at rockstar.

>>724682302 (OP)
This is fucking HUGE anon, I've only ever seen Dan Houser in pictures never a live interview. Holy shit,

GTA writers since 3 excluding Dan Houser and their latest credit, according to Wikipedia:
>3: James Worrall, Paul Kurowski
Latest credit for Worrall: Dead Island 2 (2023). NOT ROCKSTAR.
Latest credit for Kurowski: Homefront: The Revolution (2016). NOT ROCKSTAR.
>Vice City: James Worrall
See above.
>San Andreas: James Worrall, DJ Pooh
See above for Worrall.
Latest credit for DJ Pooh: Grand Theft Auto V.
>IV: Rupert Humphries
Latest credit: Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018).
>V: Rupert Humphries, Michael Unsworth
See above for Humphries.
Unsworth left Rockstar in 2023.

LOL, LMAO.

>>724687021
That's true for pretty much every main character. Nobody wants work with r* again.

>>724687931
V protags seem to have a good relationship with them and CJ's VA seems to have forgiven them and is now making money showing up to cons.

>>724687112
Watch the actual interview, imbecile. He quite literally locked himself in a cabin and came up with the plot of every R* game by himself, from premise to protagonist to the beat for beat dialogue

>>724689370
gullible little faggot lmao

>>724689623
Hey, anon, who are the "senior writers" who are still at Rockstar?
>>724687558

>Dan Houser
nice
>Lex
pass

>>724682302 (OP)
>One half of the Houser bros without TakeJew breathing down his neck
>gotta listen to the cabbage brained longnose between breaks
Maybe it will be less of a dance compared to his last convo with Todd Howard.

>>724685350
Because having to listen to that Friedman fuckwit is what drags the whole thing down. Could've chose anyone else outside of this fucking moron.

Sad to have his absence in GTA 6 confirmed, but Rockstar is full of talent, so I still have hope

>>724689623
I will accept the concession

>>724686938
>Am I the only one who thinks nobody goes on podcasts unless there's a financial incentive?
It's a proven model that works since most zoomies will have podcasts autoplaying in the background to drown out the voice. Lexy Freeman's podcast would be enough to put anyone to sleep.

>>724687370
>I've only ever seen Dan Houser in pictures never a live interview. Holy shit
If you were a boomer you might've seen him in a few gaming mags back in the day. Things started to escalate when T2 got involved. Even something as simple as a one off blog talking about why the moon could be changed in SA with a sniper rifle is enough to get their jewtails in a bind. Because you aren't meant to see the man behind the curtain at any point.

>>724685350
>/v/ is dead
Uh huh. See you here tomorrow anyway.

No one but bots and the most braindead retards listen to your podcast, Lex "Drexel" Friedman

>>724690530

>>724690151
>this
I know he has a huge audience (god knows why) but I'd rather Dan show up in a tiny podcast if it means I dont have to listen to empty barrell Lex, but they gotta market their game I guess. Still waiting for any GTA6 gameplay footage.

>>724690176
>but Rockstar is full of talent, so I still have hope
Considering how much money is on the line hope won't be enough to keep the line pushers from committing wanton genocide. Providing they have Square Enix levels of deluded grandeur. You don't casually drop 2 billion just to make back 4 with interest. You want at least 6 by the next fiscal year.

>>724682302 (OP)
who and who?

>>724690571
Lex is a good podcast host, though. You and the other guys are dead wrong.

>>724690628
shalom lex!

>>724690571
>(god knows why)
He is one of Joe Rogane's bumbuddies so they all nepo off each other for clicks. About as incestuous as dead media was when they still had exclusive rights over the collective eyes and ears. Nothing really changes when it comes to information distribution.

>>724690571
The appeal comes from the focus on the interviewee. I'd much rather a dull host who skillfully prods the interviewee than a host like Tucker who very deliberately railroads interviews and loves to make things about themself, that's literally 90% of hosts.

>>724690628
>Lex is a good podcast host, though.
I'd rather listen to a keyboard playing fungi give his opinion on the state of the world over this dude.

>>724690530
Lex likes to suck off his guests when the podcast starts

I always imagined Dan Houser to be a tough looking bald italian dude in a suit based off his rare pics so it's weird to see him be a little fat british man.

>>724685350
I don’t care who the guest is, I’m not watching this fag

The only guest for which I would listen to Lex are two: Dan Houser, and John Swartzwelder. I wouldn't do it for anyone else.

Why is his thumbnails DMC5 character staring in a black background?

>>724685350
>NOBODY CARES ABOUT THIS GUY GOING ON SOME JEW'S PODCAST, AAAAIIIIIEEEEE /v/ IS DEAD
Fucking kill yourself.

>>724685350
Dude he's not even making games anymore who cares
V sucked and rdr2 sucked woke ass

>>724691362
>t. servant of Lucifer

>>724682302 (OP)
Cancelled people getting interviewed by BRICS puppets.

For those that haven't realized it yet, Friedman works for BRICS, so there you go.

>>724691615
No matter what you say, I won't listen to him.

>>724690571
>(god knows why)
Coz he's been at it persistently for over 10 years and he has good guests.
He's also a good host who does a shitload of research, pushes back without being an asshole (rogan take note), and asks interesting questions.

>>724691613
anon it's a joke making fun of how Lex has interviewed horrible people and always does the same bizarre intros talking about "love" and shit when introducing them
the joke here is to extend that idea to absurdity by having him introduce literally satan. hope that helps champ

>>724691251
>John Swartzwelder
Fuck that would be amazing.... will never happen though.

>>724687021
He doesn't direct the actors, he's only the writer

>>724691831
I know, and I've only seen libshits making those kinds of retarded points.
You consider anyone who's to the right of Pol Pot to be Lucifer, which libshits should praise, anyway, cause there's nothing they hate more than Christ.

Why? I can tell from just this post that you do it all the time. Let me know when trump releases those epstein files

>28:42
holy shit, I thought you guys were joking about this guy. does he really do this shit every fucking podcast?

>>724685350
I'm interested and I'm now bumping this thread about it, despite the interviewer being Lex Friendman. Youtube tried to shove him down peoples necks out of nowhere for a while, he kind of came out of nowhere, and he was very monotone and not very interesting, so it seemed odd to people and put them off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02oKSUlGc0c

>>724692124
>Friendman
I don't know what wen on there. I must be secreting crack.

>>724690583
>you don't "just" double your money

>>724690176
the core team left and they tried to fill the role with specialists and raw output. there are too many chefs in the kitchen, the studio is too bloated and there is no single vision to bring it all together into something coherent. it's gonna feel like an ubishit game.

What happens when gta 6 flops?

VI will be fine without this bald hack.
Children bought GTA to kill people and listen to goofy radio stations. Dan thinks it makes him a legendary writer. The writings of those games are retarded. Do you remember the ending of V?

did they mention benzoes and mindseye

>>724685679
He's an alphabet soup man who is only popular because the algorithm wanted him to be, all his credentials are fake. They need to stop pushing the least charismatic people on earth to be in influential cultural positions

>>724694304
>They need to stop pushing the least charismatic people on earth
they're chosen specifically because they're inoffensive to normies

>>724689370
Well he did a shitty job with GTA V

>>724694394
He is offensively cringe and dull. Everybody who encounters him for the first time questions why he is popular and why anybody would want to watch him.

>>724685350
not watching your fed pod

>>724691792
>rogan take not
Look at this dude. Ain't nobosy taking notes buddy. Sit down to ground lvl. I can feel the obnoxious seeping out of you.

>>724682302 (OP)
Lex Fraudman

Why would he suddenly appear on the show, because he wants to shill his new thing. Every time some old gaming legend makes something new with his new team it's shit or average at best. Itagaki, obsidian, that Castlevania dude etc. He also said the wrong thing, you can't communicate with NPCs in VC this feature first became available in SA. Cringe ad boring interview. Rdr2 is trash.

>>724691831
Lucifer ≠ Satan

>>724696076
Forgot Kojima with his stranding genre lol. The biggest hack

Also suda with nmh3, swerry with deadly premonition 2, all trash

>>724686027
no shit it's going to be bland, it's going to be the biggest media push in fucking history, they want everyone and their dog to buy a copy and play GTA online and buy shark cards all over again

The fact that the series ever had more to it than being an arcade crime sim is nothing short of miraculous, be glad you got the games you did, the writing was on the wall back when microtransactions eclipsed game sales by a frankly insane margin

>>724691147
Huh, he’s always looked like a fat basement dweller. Shiet, the only reason that russian girl who voice acted in IV married him is the money

>>724686938
>before his game comes
What game?

nah fuck it
