What Games Are Like For Someone Who Doesn't Play Games

- About a year ago, my wife asked if she could play a game. Instead of simply saying yes, I decided to run an informal experiment where I had her play a sampling of games to see how, after a lifetime of not playing games, she would do. These are the results.

I used to have a pinned comment here that answered questions, but, like...I can't find it? It vanished, I think? I do not know why or how or if I did it myself and forgot, but I just figured I'd take the time to say hello and remind you to not get mad at me for saying lady I live with. Thank you.
Maybe the one who made the comment deleted it
i got this video reccomended after you commented on it hmm
@@kappapl5410 me too
what's the game at 1:29
Hi
I actually felt that "not knowing what L3 is" issue when I was a kid, growing up mostly with Nintendo games but having a friend with a PS2 it took me ages to figure out that you could even click the sticks in because Nintendo was really late to that particular party.
It was a similar deal with me too. I've grown up playing videogames on many of the different consoles and devices but I never played a playstation until I got the ps4. One of the very first games with it I had, I forget which one exactly it was either Uncharted 4 or Battlefield 1, but there were command prompts with the L3 button and I looked thoroughly all over my controller and simply could not find that button and ended up getting frustrated. Unfortunately I do not remember how I finally figured it out whether I looked it up online or somehow it finally clicked to me to press the stick down but man I do remember feeling embarrassed myself for having so long to struggle with that lol
Yep, I was a few years into my PS2 after having a PS1 before I realized what R3 and L3 were, and that many games I had used them for minor features I would have loved to know about.
I still suck at using a controller. I have to memorize what each button does what in game, cause it takes me too long to understand what LB means and where it is.
@@jab9109 I had a playstation 1 and 2 first, so I understand R1 and R2 (right side, front or back), and then when I got an xbox, I was very confused (and still not confident) on which one is the bumper and which is the trigger. Once I figure it out though, it feels like riding a bike. Toss me a controller and I'll figure out what I'm doing, there's only so many options for where developers can put controls and some of them make more sense than others.
I think the first time I remember encountering L3 was in Ratchet and Clank Going Commando, I think it was a shortcut to opening the map. I never figured out what L3 was during the game. I think the game that finally taught me what R3 and L3 were was Ape Escape 2 because the tutorial showed you what buttons to press on the controller with a diagram on screen.

Don't judge, lol.

The biggest takeaway for me after watching this video is just how malleable the brain of a child is. All of the difficulties that she endured while simply just trying to play a video game are all tribulations that I have long forgotten. And there is something to be said about game developers who design games with the expectation that the player already has at least a little bit of knowledge of how video games work. Basically, games are made for gamers. If you're a gamer, then there is a lot that doesn't need explaining.
I think that's fine though. Because that way you can give new gamers and incentive to play older games and they will appreciate them. That's why I let people play Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh from the very beginning. Also, if we are saying that games are solely produced for gamers, it's not completely true. Because a lot of casual indie games exist for casual players too. LIke Fruit Ninaj or bubble shooter etc. Even my parents play that stuff. Many "hardcore" gamers get inexplicably angry about casual games existing but I don't see the problem. Not everyone wants to play challenging games and even within the general gaming communities not everyone is hyper competitive and wants to play every game on the highest possible level or difficulty. And fact is, when we started playing video games in the 80s and 90s, all games were casual games anyway.
I mean it always felt intuitive even back when I first touched my first pc game at 6
@@celenial6009It felt intutive too but that's propably because we were kids and din't overthink it and try to apply real life logic to it.
Thats why determining your target demographic is really important you can't make something that satisfies everyone (or at least would be very hard) so its important to choose a type of players who are gonna play the game and tailor it specifically for them
One of the coolest things ever was watching my aunt try to understand Minecraft which her kid was playing. It was neat watching her understand the concept, but not grasp its more "videogamey" rules. He mentioned he was mining iron to make an iron sword to replace his stone sword, and she suggested he use some of his copper to make a copper sword in the meantime: she understood the concept of crafting but didn't understand the arbitrary limitation behind what you could and couldn't craft. When she noticed that breaking a campfire gave charcoal instead of a replaceable campfire item, she asked what he'd get if he broke a torch assuming all burning items dropped burned-out items when broken. When he explained it was better to buy a new sword from a weaponsmith rather than make them himself or repair the ones he had, she said he should ask the weaponsmith if he could repair swords. It was great watching this lady, who had zero understanding of video games, apply real-world logic to a game where all us gamers applied gamer logic lol
I cant blame her for the copper sword, when the update dropped i was pretty sad ab that too😂
U typed all that just to say she didn’t know u couldn’t make copper swords. U trying to analyze too hard
I appreciate the anecdote. Ignore @@Dayonehundredvisuals, the debbie-downer.

I want to see more experiments run on noobs. We could learn so much.
@@pagetvido1850 it's like modern day scientists studying cavemen, except the cavemen are alive and in front of you.
@@xXGeth270Xx Yea, same thing with the controller when looking around and walking, when I bought a controller for the first time after a while, I was 26. Well, I got used to it in about an hour, thanks to my gaming background (I played ps1 before and ps2 from 1997-2002 [I'm not counting Nintendo, SEGA, Panasonic, SNES that I have played before], then entered a PC gaming world. I have played PS3 and PS4 before that, but mostly racing games and football).
Quick, someone get them a PO Box.
A lot of getting into games, especially when you're self-taught, is all about being observant and experimentative. I recall getting into my first games easily because I was absorbing every bit of information I got (granted, kids are very much better at recognizing patterns so I had an edge in that). Conversely, a friend of mine that has gaming experience but also has a bit of tunnel vision still struggles getting into new genres because he fails to notice and memorize new things, and also doesn't realize when to transfer over the knowledge that he has.
The lack of mouse movement feels like getting stabbed.
I realised that the camera is a constant struggle with anyone who doesn't play video games. every person/family member/child who came to my house and tried my xbox would never turn because they didn't know turning was a thing. Gaming is the most common place to interact with a 3d world besides real life and they couldn't grasp that they had control of it
@@kin-3877 my mom plays fps games like a robot. She cannot use both sticks at the same time
But imagine a game where you have no control of the camera and it’s a first person puzzle game. It would be so interesting, having to think specially without full control of your vision. Like using mirrors to go backwards and such.
It did, and it's weird because it reminded me that I did the exact same thing when playing my first fps as a teen.
The whole video feels like it.
6:18 hearing you ask "why would she?" was surprising to me. as a woman, i loveee watching my boyfriend play video games. its one of my favorite things to do when i just want to relax and watch something entertaining. im a gamer myself so i watch a lot of gaming videos so i think thats the reason why, but also i think it has to do something with me growing up while having to share a console with my brothers and i'd always watch them play while waiting for my turn. so i guess its kind of like a love language to me now being in a relationship. since my bf and i are only 19, we dont live together, so when i get off my pc from gaming and get ready for bed, i always ask him if he could stream his games so i could watch him play while im in bed :) i just love that we share the same hobby and its even better when i can watch him play because i love hearing him talk about things hes interested in, makes me fall in love with him even more everyday
😔AAAAnd you called me lonely in 800 ways😂😂😂😂
How do i find someone like you?😂😂😂
I love this 🥺❤️
And Incels says that "wEmEn ☕" can't support seeing a man happy..
Whatever, I wish the best for you and him ♥️
@@Miner_20 there are lots of girls who love videogames and watching people play. it’s not that rare lol just go out and talk to em!
Get this woman into D&D, I feel like her creative problem solving that held back her enjoyment with this medium would be what made her shine in TTRPGs
yess i was thinking the same thing!
Makes me think about how to reignite a sort of exploratory thought process, definitely something I struggle with when I look at a character sheet and just think of my abilities and spells like a video game.

Does BG3 have a "story mode" difficulty like Divinity 2? I imagine that would be ideal for her.
"Don't put that in the video"
*puts that in video*
Yup, someone's sleeping on the couch tonight.
A note on the sprint ability in mario: I'm kind of guessing that you had your wife play it on an emulator. But on the NES, there were only two buttons, which maybe encouraged people to try to see if the other button did anything.
Yeah, that is a really interesting point, and something I wish I would have considered. I am now really curious as to if she would have tried to experiment with it. I am still leaning towards no because while she knew that Mario jumped, she had no idea that sprinting was even an option. Who knows though.
The B button only sprits in you hold while moving.
How would a non-gamer figure that out? They might press the B button once, and then assume it does nothing.
Yup, totally figured out how to dash on my own as a kid when I got mario. NES days were rough days for me.
...I just realized something. We often consider the NES "A difficult system"
But perhaps it was so difficult because it was our first system? Aside from the Atari we were basically getting slammed with all new types of games and gameplay, stuff we'd never even thought of before.
@@ArlanKels there's an element to that but mainly it's because games were still being made with an arcade mentality - make them hard and only beatable in one long sitting to keep the quarters coming. Games got easier when the designers moved away from that paradigm and learned more about ways to challenge players more fairly. We call lots of these things "quality of life" improvements (ie the ability to save) but really they're a reduction of one type of difficulty which lets the designers put in more fun types of difficulty.
@Noctis Gaming NES has A, B, Start and Select.
Since both Start and Select are harder reach the A and B buttons are more subtly conveyed as being the primary buttons.
It's funny I think that games like Fallout: New Vegas and more recently Baldur's Gate 3 are so well received is because they really did put a lot of thought into how you could approach different situations. Sure there are restrictions due to programming and game design, but they really just sat there and thought about different ways people could do things, making multiple connections and different ways to end quests. It takes a lot more work but feels a lot better in the end
Yes!! As someone who is just learning to appreciate and play games, I have loved BG3 so much because of this exactly!
One other thing that can frustrate players either starting for the first time or after a loooong break, is just bad design. I’ll still occasionally assume I’m doing something wrong in a game only to watch a Let’s Play and see that no, I’m not awful, it was just bad game design. Once you are more confident in your gameplay overall you notice janky mechanics a lot more. Ex: jump mechanics not working consistently.
One of my favorite things was watching my friend, ThatFinnishFox, who is fluent in video games, play BG3. There was a vial of acid suspended in a web and she wondered if she could knock it down by throwing a bone at it to get the vial. She succeeded, but the vial broke after falling and damaged one of the characters with the acid. I clipped it and showed it to her later because it made me laugh so hard.
yeah its called an rpg its a whole genre
I really like how you touched on frustration vs. reward. I am nearly 40, and have been playing video games since my dawn of time - and I cannot stress enough how I refuse to spend my little amounts of free time being frustrated just for the nugget of satisfaction when overcoming it. I find myself now turning down difficulties to the bare minimum in most cases, or find the sweet spot that is the littlest amount of frustration without being trivial. I've had friends tease me about it, like I'm less of a gamer. I've paid my anger/frustration dues to the game gods in the past. But not every player, even long time gamers, need or even want blistering difficulty. You hit the nail right on the head with that point.
Same.
It's dad gaming, and it's a perfectly acceptable way to play. I play a lot of Destiny 2, and we joke about how some weapons are "dad guns" because they're 1) easy to get, 2) easy to use, 3) have no complicated gimmicks, and 4) are really good at their intended role. Lots of games have games within themselves, whether it's finding all the collectibles, doing all the challenges, finding the best gear, or optimizing your loadouts. If you don't have a lot of time to play, I can see why it'd be frustrating to have to play a nested game before you're even capable of playing what you originally intended.
Yup. I’ve played my whole life and the level of difficulty I’m willing to deal with is directly proportional to the amount of real life stress. Sometimes I really want to grind through tough fights or dungeons and sometimes I just want to go fishing in RDR2.
That’s also the beauty of modern gaming. I can do all of it and have fun and anyone who critiques how people play is always odd to me.
"and I cannot stress enough how I refuse to spend my little amounts of free time being frustrated just for the nugget of satisfaction when overcoming it"
This is honestly why I don't enjoy playing hard games, especially with the myriad of choices available now. I'd much rather play an easy game that made me feel powerful than a frustrating game.
As an 18 year old gamer that could oly start at 10 years old due to not having strong devices i learned that watching the game i play on yt made it 10 times easyer this is funny bc rn if i find smt dificult ill just look it up... quite funny how this works
Her not knowing to look and move at the same time seems like a pretty universal problem for non gamers. When I tried to play COD with my mom she would generally just move the left stick and never look around and when she did look around she would end up looking straight up into the sky and getting lost, which was very surprising and odd to see.
I think it's not only a problem for non-gamers, but also for people like me, who only had keyboard and mouse combo whole their life, and now I need to move TWO sticks to just go and see where I'm going at the same time? Very bizarre experience
My dad is the same way
Cod mom
@@crouchjump5787 to be honest you are probably right but at this point I can't remember the first time I played with a controller and I was mainly just surprised at the fact that she would look up into the sky and say wait where am I and how do I get back to where I was.
I think the most universal non-gamer problem is just not inherently understanding controls in general.
Be that on a keyboard, where you'd instinctively press shift to try running or on a controller, where you just input button presses you don't even consciously realize.
I mean there are times, where I play a game, try to think back on what button combination is necessary for the action and my brain can't make that manual connection. I'd be standing there, wondering what buttons you press to fire the clutch claw in MHW. But the thing is, if I don't look at the controller, my hands can basically do it automatically.
In the end, it's just practice and muscle memory. If you haven't played Rock Band or Guitar Hero, you can actually experience that learning firsthand: Just get a controller, try to play and you'll be looking at your fingers a few times to check the colors and if they're on the right buttons. Then, a few hours later you'll move them in the correct way without ever checking.
Damn this guy probably wrote good essays in college lol
makes sense the video flowed so well together
Or wrote no essays at all hmmm
What the fuck is your problem essay ?
This is such a good watch for anybody who doesnt understand what goes on in people's minds as theyre playing. Learning the wrong things section was an eye opener. I hope developers see this and learn from it.
No bro. A cooking recipe for a complicated dish should not explain to you what diced or Julienne means. If you're trying a big boy recipe then you should already know those terms.
Same with games. Absolutely there should be accessible and easy games for people to enjoy. But stay the F away from my 2 hour prep time recipe if you're still wanting to make scrambled eggs.
I do not want my hand held in a Dark Souls game and people appreciate those games for the lack of hand holding.
This perfectly articulated my experiences with gaming! I've been playing since I was a kid, but always very casually. As an only child I never realized how...slow I was as a gamer until years later when I would play co op with friends in high school and they got so frustrated with how bad I was. I never had siblings around to explain certain mechanics to me and I was perfectly content spending several hours on like the first level of a game as a child.
That's awesome lol

Happy national donut day
I dont know who I feel worse for. The person who got introduced to gaming with dark souls or the person who had to watch.
I feel like when we play games as children, we have less expectations about the solutions to the game mechanics and we try different things, eventually getting it, whereas when adults just start playing games, their brain thinks more logically, leading to varying opinions or concepts which are different from game perspective
That's the thing, human brains become more fixated as you grow older, so it's harder to learn concepts such as languages, skills, or (especially) something as complex as video games, which require you to press certain buttons instinctively to do certain actions while reacting with what's on screen while maintaining knowledge of what you can or cannot do in said "game".
To complete what has been said by DuckyTheDuckster, this is how brain works. Jean Piaget was a pionnier concerning brain developpement among yougsters.
This really reminds me of the things i've lost in gaming, ironically, by gaming too much. The wonder of experiencing games for the first time, and the satisfaction of figuring it out.
I'm now so savvy with gaming as a whole that like he said within 5 minutes i generally have it figured out, if not pretty much mastered depending on difficulty. That sense of satisfaction and wonder is yet another thing i wish i could experience again via experiencing gaming for the first time again... i say only because of gaming for the first time again cause if a game just came out with a TOTALLY different control scheme i'd be mad not satisfied lol
You should have her play breath of the wild. So much of my enjoyment from that game was just having an idea and the game actually allowing me to do it. I feel like she’d enjoy it
I totally gets where she's coming from when she got frustrated/annoyed at the game not letting her do things her way. Nothing kills immersion like not being able to do something, not because it wouldn't make sense, but because the game won't let me.
My dad gets like that with some games, particularly games where he has some real life experience such as driving games or military shooters
@@fangsabre goddamn o-o
@@Momogamer9 my family is a racing family and he was in the army when he was younger. So like when a car does something in the game physics that isnt accurate to real racing he kinda gets frustrated like "a car wouldnt do that on dirt" and I can only like give up and go "it's a video game dad"
@@fangsabre dude I feel that driving game one. Drifting is always the most unrealistic. In nfs you don't have to really do anything to initiate and you speed up when you start sliding, in forza there is a massive delay between using the ebrake and being able to hit the gas again(but you can clutch kick!)
@@mattisixx1699 I know it's not the most accurate drifting in a racing game, but the drifting in Pro Street is pretty fun
It was honestly so validating and satisfying to watch your wife's experience [I'm so sorry for her suffering though🤣] and have you put into words what was creating her frustrations. I had this EXACT experience when I started playing video games with my husband (who has played video games his entire life). So this whole video was extremely cathartic. 😂
ME TOO! I started to play recently and also with hollow knight, but i just kept trying because i had one friend who occasionally gave me tips about where am i supposed to go, if I've missed something, etc. Without this, i know i wouldn't have continued
And today i love playing stuff! Now I'm playing celeste and undertale, but i want to try dark souls or skyrim next
I’m on the same boat. I have friends who are very close to me who love gaming of all sorts. They’ll sometimes ask if I want to play too, and I’ll usually say a hard no, because it’s too hard. I don’t know why it’s too hard, but it is.
Raz pointed out why it’s hard, and someone who does game a lot will probably recognise that. I totally felt validated. So when/if I do find a game that I find fun, I’ll stick with it and keep playing it.
The one I’ve spent the most time on is Tetris. I have it on a game boy color.
Yes! I played portal co-op with my brother and thought I was stupid for never knowing what to do as fast as he did. This video made me realize that I wasn't stupid so much as just struggling to memorize unfamiliar game controls and... figure out what direction I was facing.
Anyway thanks for the great video!
Coming from a female who has recently gotten into games and doesn’t really have someone to teach me how, These videos are so relatable and I always feel frustrated but very accomplished once I figure out how to do something. These videos are very encouraging 😂
Out of curiosity, what games do you like that you've discovered over the last year?

@@Mac_Omegalyimagine... "ELDEN RING"🤣😂
@@Miner_20 well that is a very frustrating accomplishment to learn by jumping into the deep end of Elden Ring.
Keep in mind that modern games are far more convoluted and complex than they used to be in the 80s and 90s. It's not really a skill issue but an experience issue. Most gamers like me have palyed games since the 80s and 90s so we gradually improved and evolved alongside games. It's not difficult to get into modern games when you started with basic games and only really had to learn one or two new tricks per game. You have to learn it all form scratch. my advice to make it more enjoyable and less frustrating is to use guides (aka walkthroughs) an consult forums and look up information on RUclips. There is no shame in it. Even many experience gamers do so to not have to waste too much time with certain tasks. Walkthroughs are the best in my opinion. though.
Big fan of this series.
My wife of 14 years never really played video games growing up…
She had an N64 with star wars pod racers, and Mario cart.
So that was the extent of her gaming knowledge.
When we were in high school and dating, The first game she saw me playing and expressed interest was RuneScape.
I showed her some basics…
And went home…
Kinda forgot about it… but learned that she had been grinding the one thing it taught her… wood cutting… while doing her homework every day…
Before I knew it.. she had 99 woodcutting as a level 3 combat player…
She had never fought anything… or trained any other skills. Just collected 13 million exp in woodcutting over the course of months.. without exploring her other options.
What the heck. That's both adorable and disturbing.
damn. I'm only lvl 60.
certified wood cutter
You married a Beaver.
this is fucking gold oh my god. love her
My sister when she plays Skyrim every once in a blue moon: "How do I look around again?"
my sister says the same thing lmao
Haha other way round in my family - I’m the sister that never stops playing Skyrim and when my brother does all he does is spawn in some guords and can’t remember how to take out his sword.
@@MoonlightWalnut That's ironic haha.
@@MoonlightWalnut How do you spawn in guords? It's a PC thing, isn't it?
Also, I've had her do what I call "the simplest build in the game": heavy armor, two-handed, with specialization in greatswords because she's going to need the higher attack speed with how many times she'll be missing, while still keeping relatively high single-shot melee damage.
I remember my plight to understand L3 and R3 as a child. I; at one point, assumed it was pressing both L1 and L2 at the same time to get "L3".
That's honestly adorable and way more thought than I would have given it as a kid. I just button smashed lol.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING ADFHHJ L1+L2=L3
I am a no-gamer and I recently started playing GTA5 and boy when the game asks me to do things with l1 l2 l3 I freak out because I have to look down but at the same time pay attention to the screen because everything is happening so fast and ah! its very hard
@Chase Moore, Were joysticks? I mean, I guess for the N64 & arcade but I remember the original PlayStation not having analog sticks.
@Chase Moore, Also being blown away in thinking a sober person created that controller. XD I can't say too much on 3D or 2D because mine was a N64 but I will say it confused the ever living hell out of me to figure how to hold it.
Remember GoldenEye? - Some would say it's the first console FPS, but at the time I was just blown away by being in first person, myself.
I'm an avid gamer but I'm so falbbergasted that you can sprint in Super Mario Bros? Like why did I never knew that?
This is a beautiful video. The ending in particular (19:34) was very sweet. After 20 minutes of hearing all about her intense frustration and isolation, seeing that communal experience you mention earlier, where you offer a helping hand and she enjoys the game better for it, that little blessed moment of joy in discovery, actually made me tear up a little.
Do you know what game that is at the end?
I think we all learned the limitations as children. A lot of my memories of old games is getting stuck, and casting about in the environment for something to interact with. Can I climb this? Maybe if I jump again I'll make it up to that ledge, 20th time's the charm. Can I interact with that? The best and worst thing that changed is that now a lot of games will give you clear signals on what to do (but as your wife found, they're only clear if you know what to look for.
I probably learned all my limitations from early 3D Sonic games in specific lmao
I miss when I was little and could just fuck around in the nothingness of some boxy low poly environment looking for the unknown. I know too much now.
Even to this day I'm still baffled by the idea of going left in a 2D platformer, because of how Mario games were set up. You definitely learn a lot of habits from playing as a kid.
I played through Kakariko village in BotW without climbing, mind you I’ve been gaming since I was a toddler. When I was checking out the shrine at the top of the hill I ended up climbing and I was all, “oh ok I can climb this area” then I did it again and thought, “holy shit can I climb anything? In a Nintendo game?!” And that’s when the whole quest changed and I fell in love with that game trying out different ideas with everything
I still remember not being able to go into the fire dungeon of zelda minish cap as a kid, and having to google the solution 7 years later because i didnt realize you could blow up a certain part of a mountain even though it was indicated with fences around an empty wall
Those moments where she moves without looking around, or feels like she can’t do both at the same time, is EXACTLY my dad in video games that aren’t Mario or Madden
every time I try to get my sister to play mario she jumps without using the left stick at all lmao
This is literally my sister lmao
Its proven bois. Non gamers are shit at multitasking
My mother by the grace of god got to Riverwood in Skyrim without realizing that you could move your camera.... 💀💀
But I'd say it's also totally us gamers...
...just that we are eating/drinking with the right hand at that moment :D
18:15 - 18:25 that little quote is not only very true for gaming but it also DEFINES my life as a skateboarder. When kids who want to skate ask me about it, I tell them right out, its extreamly hard and its gonna take a long time and a lot determination, dedication, and practice. Spending hours every day, hitting your shins and falling for that sweet sweet few seconds where you nail your trick and ride away is the greatest feeling in the world, but some people cant understand why I put my body through the pain and torture for a trick on a piece of wood and wheels. That feeling is worth every second, every drop of blood, sweat, and sometimes tears. Ive been skateboarding and playing video games for over 20 years now and they're my 2 greatest passions.
god this was amazing to watch, a game designer wet dream lol. I also find this thing fascinating, and why the playtesting part of game dev is one of my favs. Like it's one thing to playtest with your demograph, but I find it's even better to get someone like your wife- who has no experience with video games. It can really dramatically change how you go about things and sometimes make it better for gamers, they see things differently and might be able to explain something that someone used to games can't. Outside perception is soooo valuable in more things than play testing lol, but yeah this was a treat.

I’ve been playing games for ~40 years and I still share some of her frustrations. Especially the “why can’t I do that” ones like in Uncharted. That kind of stuff can drive me nuts. It’s most frustrating when games break their own internal logic for some story or surprise reason. Great video.
Thank you so much for this video! As someone who has always been friends with gamers, but didn't start playing until recently in my mid thirties, I have always struggled with communicating with them about why I am *not* a gamer and have such a hard time with them. This seriously encompasses so many of my issues! Sending it to all my friends immediately lol
When my sister started playing cod she didn’t know she could sprint for 2 months

I remember as a kid when you were still young and you thought you could do anything in games, I always tried to land on planets when I was in Space. I imagined there would be a whole other world to explore.
Do you play space exploration games now? You might like Elite: Dangerous.
Try Empyrion Galactic Survival. Build your own Vessels, warp to different planets and explore them :D
play outer wilds or no mans sky! so many cool space exploration games these days
Played megaman and only spammed b in Hope's of hitting my enemies before I even see them
Play Rimworld. Doesn't matter much that its set in space, but you can turn people into hats.
Ive been gaming for a solid 20+years now. The points you made about misinterpreting information on-screen still happens to me at times. Same sort of things you said in this video were the same problems my gf had when she got into other games besides farming/city building games (animal crossing, cult of the lamb)
common knowledge in gaming that you take for granted, or predetermined path and limitations in games were always my interest! it is honestly very interesting knowing what behavior i have are affected by this common knowledges, and what is possible in non-gamers' eyes. amazing video!

A few games do let you destroy things with pure damage instead of only QTE, but it's pretty rare. Especially for items instead of enemies.
I remember my dad trying to play Portal back in the days. Watching him play while ignoring the story, prompts, and level design clues was really the first time I realized what "game literacy" meant.
For example, one of the things he used to do was enter a room, miss an object or a switch, and assume that the room was useless. So he'd get out and look somewhere else. In real life, this makes perfect sense, most buildings have "useless" rooms (or rooms that are not directly useful to the problem at hand).
But in games, there are rarely any useless rooms for the simple reason that every single room has to be handcrafted (unless procedural generation gets in the picture, but that's a nuance only a seasoned gamer can understand). Game devs generally don't want to waste precious level art and memory space for useless rooms. So gamers are trained to think of every room as serving a function. If we don't find what's in it, we search some more. We assume it must be useful in some way.
That is really interesting. I had not thought about how the mere existence of a room signals to most people familiar with games that it is important. And, like, as I type that it sounds super obvious, but it really is not a given.
It's a bit like Chejov's gun in literature. You know that simple object will be relevant later and it takes you out from immersion. I like when games break the rule that everything has to be for something. It's difficult to pull it off correctly, because it's so ingrained in gaming language that people can get upset and feel tricked when learning that an element is just there to be there. One good example that I can recall is in the point and click adventure Thimbleweed Park, where you have to find a book in a library that has more than a thousand books. It's pretty clear to most people that you don't have to look for that book manually, so there's a way to find exactly where it is. Makes the world feel more realistic and not like everything is designed for the player. Though it could also fail spectacularly and someone who never played games could start reading every single book in the most tedious way (which is a possibility btw).
@@jmiquelmb i don't agree that it's immersion breaking. I don't think i'd like a game with useless areas because it would waste everybodies time. Just as Chejov's gun means that if you introduce something in a story it better be usefull because otherwise you just wasted everyones time.
@@teehundeart Yeah I understand it's a convinient device. I don't mean it's bad per se a game follows this idea, but I like when they try to break this logic
Guess he'd be good at Hunt Down the Freeman

I remember as a kid it took me almost a year to learn how to progress gta vice city because that was the first game that introduced a radar/map for me and I never understood the concept of following the symbols to my mission. Still had hours of fun causing havoc around the city but then once I learned how to follow the blips on the map it became an entirely different game for me.
I figured out maps because I spent hours staring at them as a kid lol
When i first played genshin impact the story was so overwhelming that i didnt realize you could teleport to certain waypoints on the map. I ran around for hours doing quests until i watched a beginner's tips video on youtube xd
Bruh I used to spend hours going to that N symbol in vice city radar as a kid then when I got older I realized its a symbol for North Direction 🤣🤣
I once followed the North simble for hours thinking that it was a mission
for me it was true crime new york city, and I was super confused because when driving around the game would show the name of the streets as a big green arrow pointing left and right, I didn't realize that it was something you could completely ignore and to actually follow the little gta styled radar on the bottom right of the screen. but could you blame me? They made the street labels pop up right above your screen and it was bigger than the tiny radar on the bottom.
“Her moveset was wider than she thought”

Not gonna lie, understanding when L3 and R3 on PlayStations meant took me some time. Nintendo usually show them as L stick and R stick, making it more obvious.
i only ever had sony consoles. I went to a store asking where the hell this mystic button was.

@@manray3023 "AAAH shit here we go again" CJ
I play mainly PC. So when my friend bought me a PS3 for my birthday a few years back it was pretty frustrating. I found myself pressing the wrong buttons because I had only played Nintendo and Xbox. Then prompts like that would pop up and I was clueless on what to do as I had skipped so much of the advanced multi-use buttons of the later generations.
The understanding of the middle button to have more buttons was new to me so trying to hit the middle button. It was only when i experiment is when i discovered the hidden mechanics of the controller.

I'm definitely gonna do that with my wife, too. This is entertaining af and maybe even a good way for us to bond further.
She's not a complete noob, since she used to game in her youth with her younger sister, but my wife never played anything but old FPSs and Tomb Raider on the original PS. After we moved together and she saw that I had Tomb Raider on the Wii she was excited to give it a try... not knowing that the Wii version due to motion controls had no lock-on feature and so she struggled enormously with the very first bat enemies, since she wasn't used to aim with the controller xD she had fun anyway
I respect the fact that she still tried her best even though she wasn’t familiar to the games

A long time ago when The Xbox original came out my mom was someone interested in playing a game that I played a lot so I broke out my PS2 instead and I plugged it in and put in kingdom hearts because my mom was interested in playing that game specifically and when she went through the Tutorial she wasn’t convinced that she likes the game because she doesn’t understand it LOL so I took it from her hands and start playing it and let her watch and she’s like OK well I’m done with this LOL
I remember first being confused about the concept of “L3” on a controller as a kid. Great video!
I really like the system for the L and R kinds of buttons. I play mostly Nintendo still even though I like PlayStation button names better. L, R, ZL, and ZR work fine.
I think I only understood what L3 and R3 was when I was 13 or something.
I've been playing pc games all my life and as a gamer even I was confused when I picked up the PS4 controller last year. I thought I would never get used to it.
My uncles copy of Tom Clancy splinter cell on PS2, during tutorial level I had to press L3 to lean against a wall. Spent half an hour pressing L1 and L2 at the same time, thinking that L3 was just the two of them combined.
Gave up and never got past the tutorial...
I guess my approach as a kid was different I got introduced at 2,5ish my step dad at the time was an avid gamer and my mother played arcade style games and mini game style games with him (eg racing games, or button mashers) and he wanted to let me try and just gave the controller. I've been told my first instinct was to squeeze the entire controller to hear everything clickable and movable and then just started playing. After a few simple games he gave me ocarina of time and didn't help me other than translating the English to dutch so my 2,5 yr old brain understood. (also setting the basis for my english which later booklets and walkthroughs would improve. And contrary to this guys wife having a linear mindset the first ever thing I figured out in OOT was where the way to go was (the big open hole for sure XD) and not go there and instead broke all grass since I said to my stepdad in real life I also find stuff in bushes. It seems the linear thinking is an adult thing focus on a thing instead of a whole. I found myself trying to glitch through places at that age without knowing what a glitch was. And like this situation my stepdad wouldnt tell me anything. By the time I could read a bit at 3 years old I started trying to read the english booklets and playing solo (I thought english felt similar to dutch and I am very glad I had that idea XD by 7 I spoke english ofcourse the basis of my stepdad translating OOT a year prior probably helped.
This was put together so well!
Good on you for having patience in the experiment without wanting to just intervene with every mistake. I dont have that kind of patience.

Actually I think it would be easier to play dark souls for a person who doesn't play video games because the mind is blank in that aspect and she would suck in the information like a sponge. Compared to if she'd already played tons of action games and that would only get in the way when trying to learn a souls game mechanics
Yeah, despite admittedly trying different types and genres, all the games are arcade, dexterity based. Those games which rely on things other than quick reactions were omitted totally. Turn based strategies, RPGs, tycoons can very often attract attention of non-gamers who consider action games silly in a way many people consider action movies silly compared to more intelectual ones.
Nice video, though!
What's the game at 19:37 ?
A lot of non-gamer people for some reason are afraid to just try things out, just press the buttons, look what they do. Literally nothing bad can happen if you do that. And it shows even outside the gaming sphere of things.
A lot of times they ask me to help figure something out with electronics and stuff. And i dont know how it works either but i just try things out and it just works out. Why cant they do that. Thats beyond my understanding.
Or even more - they refuse to just read what is on the screen. Like it literally says what you're supposed to do if you want this or that. I have to go and ask them "what does it say on screen?" "yeah, so what do you need to press?" "yeah"
It's odd to see people figure out controls by mashing buttons. The first thing I do when I launch a game is fiddle with all the settings, including controls. I find that the defaults don't suit me so I change them for every game. I don't understand why people launch games and immediately start a new game.

I think I had that problem while playing Breath of the Wild. Most of the time I found myself defeating enemies the easy way rather than looking for a more creative solution.
This is also different person to person, but there is a exploratory drive for active gamers. We play games because of the novel features they have and exploring controls for the games is part of the process. A good chunk of gamers are very good at visualizing 3D space, holding onto a lot of information at the same time and multitasking the controls. Although all of these can be trained and practiced, a lot were already good at them which is why they get a head start in game mechanics.
For me, I like game and got into them because they were easy for me. Being good at a game right at the beginning is a big reason I continued playing.

God. That L3 thing hits so close to home for me. I remember when I was playing NBA Street 2, and there was an ability to throw a basketball against the backboard, catch it, and dunk it. I thought this was the coolest thing, but you had to press L3 and R3 to do it. I just knew it had something to do with the thumbsticks. So everytime I went for a dunk I just beat the everyloving shit out of my thumbsticks and hoped for the best. I broke my controller.
Lol. Hope you got a new one
i was taught that one by my cousin, he has an xbox while im solely a pc gamer, i played minecraft at his house a couple of times and got very frustrated with the complexity of the controller.
Happened to me with gta san andreas, I thought I needed to press L1+L2 to get the command haha.
My first experience with 'hidden buttons' was with the DS back buttons. I was playing Kirby and I figured out that if you press the back buttons then it lets Kirby guard and you take less damage.
I remember playing SNES and not knowing R and L exists.
sometimes i forget that new peoples exist
I find this super interesting, right now I'm coaching my girlfriend through Elden Ring and I love it, everything said here is 100% true, now I have had here playing more games recently so comfortability with the controller isn't really that much of an issue anymore, but in all honesty this may sound crazy but I really believe fromsoft games are some of the best games for a person to start with, as they have very concrete controls, everything is made for you to at least understand the basics, and with someone in your ear to coach you, its a really steady experience in learning a lot of core gaming mechanics and trends such as timing, patience, traversal, how to use the camera and when to do certain things or think a certain way, like seeing her gradual progression of now being able to switch between weapons and lock on and use the camera flawlessly without me saying anything is awesome, it's a work in progress ofc cause she's new but seeing this progression is amazing, reminds me of when I was starting video games, and the best thing in my opinion about it is being "bad" in the souls games is something that is generally supported by the community, you don't feel as "bad" because everyone is dying

Its actually a cool idea to put an enemy in a game that looks like a reward to psych out the player. Like mimics in dark souls.
To be fair, that's how it works in Hollow Knight. I played Shovel Knight before I played Hollow Knight. So, the first time I died, I lost all my Geo and assumed that the shade worked the same way, and I just jumped into it and was surprised when I got damaged by it! I didn't know I had to attack it to get my Geo back.
@johnny bravo, maybe she thought that the money bags worked like mimic chests in dark souls. I would of probably though the same thing if I never played games.
