After Injustice: Gods Among Us, Tomb Raider, and countless others, surely you couldn't expect Conan to miss out on one of the biggest games of the year, now could you? If you happened to watch last night's episode, then you already know the answer - indeed not, as the world's tallest ginger talk show host is at it again, tackling Rockstar's monster hit, Grand Theft Auto V.
Alongside the segment's long time digital nerd, Aaron Bleyaert, we see Conan try to learn the ropes, only to ultimately wreak havoc more on himself than the citizens of Los Santos. Bleyaert tries to educate Conan on some of the finer points of gameplay, but let's be honest, you're not watching Conan's "clueless gamer" to see him succeed.
You'll see Conan, as GTA portagonist Michael and Franklin rescue Michael's son Jimmy from a daring daytime yacht hijack, lament over the hazards of controller sweat, do a driveby, and launch a man headfirst into a jagged rock face. But let's be frank, who among you never wanted to do that to a juggalo?
Conan also creeps it up big time, checking out the local "ass-ets" of a few ladies at the local strip club, and its new flirt system (check out more on that here), before ultimately finally climbing into a Buzzard attack chopper and going full on Rambo to enact some vengeance on the bouncers of the Vanilla Unicorn. But to be fair, they did throw Michael out, in Conan's words, "right onto his erection."
If you happened to miss the episode, you can see the full clip below.
GTA V centers around three characters performing a number of heists, each with their own reason for doing so. Players have the ability to switch back and forth between each character on the fly (when not taking part in a mission). First up, you have Michael, who seems to act as a sort of leader of the trio. He's a career criminal whose patience for his family and his wallet are both running dry. Next up, the story is set for repo man Franklin who wants out of the life he's dug himself into. Finally, the resident redneck Trevor, definitely the most colorful of the bunch, but also potentially the most dangerous.
The game has multiple endings, and the story is about the same length as Red Dead Redemption, at about 25 - 30 hours, and that's before the massive amount of secondary things to do, or release of the obligatory DLC. The game is out now for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
