The Great Southern Bank's Everyday Saver does the simple things really well. Who's the player who performs at their best every day?

And you don't have to jump through hoops to earn bonus interest.

What is up, ladies and gentlemen? Welcome to Pack Her Up, boys. Proudly brought to you by Sportsbet. Go give me a follow on the feed. Let's just get into the hot boy hotline brought to you by Lontel. Lontel.net.au slash bloke. Control Resonance out. I know you'd be a fan of Control Resonance. That's out today, so I cannot wait for that. Next week, not the remake, but remastered The Witcher 3 is out, which you'll be excited about.
I'm so glad you brought it
up. Yeah. One of the all-time games. Still getting through Blood of the Dawnwalker. Still getting through it. With a mixture of WoW. WoW Forever brought me back in. I'm going to be ready for WoW Forever when it drops in November. However, it's a huge, huge back end of the year. GTA 6 coming out soon in November.
Finally. Unbelievable. That one I do actually understand. Obviously, I understand with others as well. I will say, though, I have softened. I was very strong against Blizzard last week. I just want to apologize because after playing on the weekend, the games we both play, I was a lot more sympathetic.
Okay, WoW Forever beta, you pre-purchased? Obviously, I pre-purchased. I
think the day before you did, actually.
Yeah, okay.
From memory. Why is WoW Forever releasing something the same time as GTA 6?
Well, if there's any – look, World of Warcraft is 20 years old. So that ain't really – it's not a new game for them. So the resources isn't much. But if there is any game that can get close to being as big a juggernaut as GTA, it is World of Warcraft. Arguably the biggest game of all time. Is
there any world where with GTA 6 the reviews aren't – Like that it's very underwhelming given how big the buildup is. Like I know they lived up to it with five, but there wasn't as
big
of a gap from four to five as there has been
five to six. It's interesting because GTA 6, they're leaning more towards the Red Dead Redemption route. And so Red Dead Redemption 2 was much more methodical. And what that means is it's like, You walk to your horse, you put your gun in and you take your gun out, not very video gamey. Whereas GTA 5, very video gamey. So it's very out there, do whatever you want.
Movement was free.
Yeah, very fast. Whereas GTA 6 is much more methodical. And so there might be a GTA audience that is going, this isn't what I like, this slow pace. even though Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the greatest games of all time and was huge, there might be some GTA players like, no, I want crazy shit. I want it fast, flowy, not slow motion. I don't want to have to feel fuel in my car. I don't want all these little extra things I have to do. I don't want to have to do it. So there could be a bit of pushback from... Some GTA fans and even some of the wider audience that go, listen, the realism is great, it's cool, but I want to play a video game where it's just fucking free for all.
Because Five, they hit it out of the park and I think it's similar with True Blue Games and Rugby League Live 2 and 3. It was quite free
