I suspect this phenomenon will be all but dead in a decade, as video game literacy increases, but for kids of my generation this video will be painfully familiar. It’s that moment when you attempt to get your non-gaming parent to play a video game and it’s completely frustrating and hilarious all at the same time.
The above video is that moment incarnate. One YouTuber introduces his Dad to Grand Theft Auto V, a man who has absolutely no idea what is happening, or what he is doing.
My personal favourite moment is the part when he keeps accidentally pressing select, pushing the camera into different positions. He gets stuck on that ‘cinematic’ camera — the one that looks great but is completely not functional for gaming — and he’s just like WOW. He gets the scale of the game and just what a crazy technological marvel Grand Theft Auto V is.
Very cool video.
