Flats Reacts To "What Games Are Like For Someone Who Doesn't Play Games"

[@drippyjowo]

I have literally watched all of this guy’s videos, and I LOVEEEEE how he breaks things down! It really makes so much sense that someone who has never played a game before, doesn’t grasp the concept of it very well! We started when we were young, so we know even just basic lingo!

[@Dizzifying1]

N64 controller had 3 handles because the idea was to have a controller that could be held differently based on the type of game you were playing. The default grip was to have your left hand on the center and right hand on the right. But for racing games like f-zero or 2D games, they wanted you to hold it more like a steering wheel with your hands on the outsides. It was actually a well designed controller. The only issue being the abrasiveness of the stick on your finger.

[@ZNemerald]

I wonder if it came out today by a company like 8bitdo, would it be praised.

I mean maybe that’s what Nintendo “idea” was but that controller lives in infamy for a reason and I love it lol.

[@Fenrir_Aus]

That’s a wild take… never heard anyone call the N64 controller good. But it did create the base for all modern controllers

[@oh.sorry.dont.mind.meeeee]

😅 huh? your reply makes it seem like you didn't understand the comment you replied to. what they said is exactly what I've also seen in my research on the controller years ago. ​@@Fenrir_Aus

[@CrimsoniteSP]

This guy's videos are really good. Really made me rethink how I even play games and why I make the decisions I do. I actually used a lot of Razbuten's findings to help teach my sister how to play games. When we hang out, I often show her games she'd have no interest in so she can experience the story or jam out to rhythm games. But now when we play, I always try and teach her the reasons why I'm doing certain techniques or what made me think I could go somewhere. Showing her the signs of a secret or explaining basic mechanics so she can more easily follow along, and it's really helped her understand why games are so much fun.

Funnily enough, when I was little(back in ps2 era) I had 0 clue of what L3 and R3 were, I spent quite a lot of time(maybe years) without using any ability or function related to them, until one day I accidentally pressed the stick down and it actually did something I was absolutely shocked thinking "WAIT, THIS IS A BUTTON? THIS IS R3?!", it was mindblowing

[@BananaWasTaken]

I feel like I have a vague memory of how I felt like a genius the day I discovered what the L3 and R3 prompts meant.

[@MousaThe14]

Even though I’ve been playing games since the N64 era, due to only having Nintendo consoles and playing on PC with mouse and keyboard, when I missed out on a whole console generation I didn’t realize that there was a secret button in the analogue stick. I think I was playing Splatoon 2 and I had no idea what the prompt for activating a special was so I just kept rolling the stick around. I don’t even remember how I figured out it was pushable. Or maybe Breath of the Wild taught me, I dunno. I just know that even when you play Gabe’s your whole life and know the language, it can be very confusing if they added a new universal word and no one tells you.

Japanese is strange because the sentences are read left to right, but the pages are read right to left. This extends to manga panels too; you start in the rightmost panel, but the words/sentences are still read from left to right

[@moioomio]

That's only true for horizontal writing, which is a minority for the most japanese media. Most of the time japanese manga are written verticaly, starting up, down, then right to left. With the internet, it became normal seeing more and more left to right writing, but that doesn't charge the standard.

[@gamma_centauri]

@ Most comics (manga included) start up to down, and then horizontally, depending on the language. To my knowledge, very few languages start at the bottom of the page and move upwards.

I love examining games through this more psychological lens. His whole "Gaming for a non-gamer" series is solid. And if you'd like to watch a series that skews a little more broadly analytical of games' psychological impact, Daryl Talks Games is a channel I wish I could make videos like. 6:17 For those interested, the idea was that different games would have players put their hands on different handles. Holding the outer handles lets players use the D-Pad like Nintendo's previous controllers, ideal for 2D games. Right two handles are intended for 3D games so that players can have more movement options with the control stick. Left two handles are for twin stick shooters (and weird games).

[@mushroomduck1345]

And so flats TV descended upon us and granted our wish for more Razbuten… Lord hear our prayers…

[@Condorian_]

The distorted expectations about games can be visualized in many manhwas about games, such as The King's Avatar. They portray the in-game actions and mannerims as being fluid and natural, with situations and strategies that aren't possible in real games, especially since all they're using is a mouse and keyboard. But I think it mimics some people's wild expectations about games.

[@LuckEh13]

[@nihili4196]

[@killer660]

the question "why isn't the game like this?" is why most game companies actually pick ppl that don't know anything about games to try it out, so they can have different ideas on what to do as opposed to a gamer that knows the limitations and just goes by those limitations.

[@KazanaAoi]

You think it makes us Crazy Flats, the 'revelation' that we just keep trying at something that frustrates us. But really, That's just the human experience of any hobby. Trying to crochet and screwing up a bunch then getting it right and succeeding to make a plushy, Learning to sew and it looking like shit and falling apart, then trying again and making a cute little patch. Carving into wood and making a hot mess vs carving into it and making our first little carved horse. The single hardest part about trying something new is learning how to get over those frustrations at the start and continue trying- So that we CAN get to those moments of success, be that in gaming, painting, knitting, cooking, puzzles, board games, or anything else. For us gamers, our first games just enraptured us so much that we didn't want to give up- We tried again. And again. And again- Until we WON. And we felt so good about it we did it again. And again, And Again- For a life time.

[@octocoq]

It’s important to remember that if you’ve been playing games long enough, you played with controllers that had 1-3 buttons and slowly played new consoles with more and more buttons and controls

[@tylerblair318]

As a trans person, we can double jump and air dash. 😂

[@Somtaaw7]

What I took out of this is that a lot of tutorials are functionally made by people who already KNOW how to play the game. speaking of the light in Last of Us, Half Life 2's commentary actually had the devs comment that they guided players with light. Here in that example the light is specifically misleading. An explosion draws the players attention and the game doesnt tell them to go the other way so they just continue forward until they die because there's a massive street light shining like a beacon.

13:32 The American M67 grenade is also known as "the baseball" because of its shape being similar to that of a baseball. Its predecessor, the M33, is also similarly shaped.

[@ZNemerald]

8:40 I think both people are just overthinking it. Nes Mario being a simple platformer with just two controls is the answer. One of the reasons why people love Mario till this day is the simplicity.

[@Forgetthereality]

Left to right for platformers was due to old tvs used to build the picture through their scanlines from left to right. This allowed better reaction times at speed as newer frame data was presented on the left side of the screen before the right side.

[@emilyfinchat]

i love love love breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom because of how many ways there are to solve puzzles and come up with solutions to problems. i feel like it is such a perfect duo of games to learn gameplay mechanics and figure out things on your own (while still having some clear tutorial in the beginning considering it’s also meant for actual children). i do think it could be an interesting variety game!!

[@someoneelse8103]

14:15 about basic skills that can translat to military, in Ukraine people who are comfortable with controllers are welcomed to become drone operators, that's another example of that

[@Yesnaught]

The Halo "tutorial" wasn't just a tutorial - it's a calibration. They tell you to look up, they don't tell you to push up or down, because whatever you reflexively do, you'll look up, and from that, the game infers you want controls inverted or normal.

[@phelixfanel]

Some military officials refer to CoD as murder simulations. Also, nearly every sport is a proxy for combat, balls are bombs.

[@dustinbragg1921]

The usa designed our grenades the way they did to make them similar to a baseball. Over in Europe it was more common to have a grenade on a stick.

[@Whitewingdevil]

I actually DO remember learning how to sprint in super mario bros. The controller only had two buttons other than the d-pad (and Start/Select but those were fairly obvious) so I figured the button had to do SOMETHING and just held it down. To be fair it was not my first videogame, that honour goes to Wolfenstein 3D. Christ I'm old.

2:25 To clarify, Japanese WRITING is read left to right or top to bottom, however manga PANELS are intended to be read right to left.

[@jlky83]

I understand the feeling of the creator of the video. I let my wife tryout WoW. It was comical to say the least and a bit frustrating. As a 3d game and as a gamer, we naturally know how to use the mouse and keyboard simultaneously to make the screen move smoothly. My wife however, had to do it one by one. Like, move the mouse to face the correct direction, then press the keyboard to move. Don't even get me started on the spell casting. In retrospect, I learnt how to dash in super mario back when it was first released on the Super Famicom. The controller had only two buttons. Button A and Button B. So if A was to jump, B had to do something right? As the creator mentioned, too much information for new gamers. Just wasted to add that, TMI is not only in games, but controllers have gotten significantly more buttons since then.

[@volktol4432]

14:56 to those points on, you could say the same about battlefield, all very interesting tho

[@alist4rt635]

Hollow knight is a frickin masterpiece

[@DivusMagus]

2:40 Japanese is read left to right. It used to be the case that Japanese was written vertically and you would go right to left going down each column. But this is old and rarely used anymore. But this did carry over to manga where you read panels of the pages right left; top to bottom. But within that panels the sentences are still read left to right.

[@taymus13]

Thinking back on it, Halo 2 (I had played halo 1 on PC), was what taught me most of what I know about controller. Starts out with having you look around at lights THEN lets you out of the pod and teaches you to move. I cant speak for the last couple halo games as I haven't played them, but every halo game up through halo 4 starts this exact way- look first, move second. also helpful for veteran players as you get a feel for the in game turn speeds and can adjust first thing. edit: I paused and typed all this the literal second before flats mentions halo 3 XD

[@taymus13]

In Japanese you read the word/sentence/ structure left to right. while you read the paragraphs/text/ speech bubbles right to left, specifically when verticality is involved

[@ppvsonicspy]

The SMB section is the reason why the original NES controller was so great. There are only 2 buttons, if one of them is jump, then the other one must be for something else, and if you can jump higher by holding down the button, that must mean the other button also does something if you hold it down. There was no need for a tutorial because it was such simple and intuitive design that a toddler would be able to figure it out by EXPERIMENTING WITH STUFF, something that is severely lacking in modern games.

[@supermariomaker1734]

I remember playing Hollow knight and I beat everything in it but the final challenge because you had to fight every boss at once I never beat it cause my stamina would get exhausted every time I made it to the final boss which says a lot about how difficult that final hurdle was because I played hard video games without eating or taking a break and I would still win. The flow state is one of those things every good gamer understands

[@TwinTails99]

As someone who plays alot of FPS and MOBA's everyone know when you enter that flow like state because you suddenly become a god at everything you do.

[@homelessmexican410]

As someone who had to take a month break before coming back to beat that final challenge in Hollow Knight, don't give up! There's tons of stuff you can do to make it easier like unlocking the blue health that spawns in bench spots in between the challenge or changing your badges for the next set of bosses. Personally, I fought the last two bosses on radiant so that if I ever got that far I was sure I could win it

[@supermariomaker1734]

I got tired of fighting the same chracters again and again the repetitiveness was what made me quit plus there are breaks that slow down my momentum I gain so the average time it takes to finish is about 47 minutes to an hour.

[@homelessmexican410]

@supermariomaker1734 I got burnt out the same way at first. The temporary health at those breaks helped a lot for me but it is a lot of time that gets wasted. I think like half my playtime was on just trying to beat that.

I genuinely haven’t really thought about things like this before. Literally my entire household plays/has played video games and I always grew up seeing video games as normal. (I’m a 15 y/o girl btw) My dad even has an old photo of me as a baby holding a Xbox 360 controller with a headset on. It makes me feel bad for being so harsh on friends who don’t play games but it was only because I genuinely saw video games as a standard, normal thing. I specifically remember trying to get a couple of my friends to play the long dark on my pc. They had literally NEVER played a first person game w a mouse and keyboard b4 and I remember laughing at them so much and poking fun not realizing that it wasn’t common sense to everyone. Id be like “you can go there” and then they’d ask “why?” And I genuinely couldn’t give them a answer 😭🙏🙏 I do think it’s kind of interesting how little girls I’m friends with play games meanwhile my whole entire friend group of teenage boys ALL play games. I don’t even mean this in a sexist/pick me way but it’s generally way easier for me to just hang out with boys mostly because I live in such a small town and not many girls play games. Literally my only close girl friends have been online friends because of this. I just think it’s interesting what audience games are more targeted to and ways certain people grew up with/without games

Celeste is not a hard platformer, until it is. If you just play through celeste it's a cute satsifying platformer, it'll be tricky if you're not good at platformers but nothing crazy. It's the B-sides, C-sides, the chapters locked off by the secret crystal hearts, the extra content that's crazy difficult.

[@dylandreisbach1986]

We need someone to make a video games for video games. Like "A game for non-gamers." A simple and enjoyable tutorial to let people understand these key videogame concepts we take for granted. Something like, from the start mario had a jump button and a sprint button. Racing games use the triggers to accelerate. Floating icons and illuminated objects require you to go up and interact with them. The edges of the screen contain important information. Stuff like that walking someone along the history of video game controls and concepts.

[@CaitofFate]

[@shadowswithin702]

As someone who started gaming on PC in their late 30's, I understand this very well. Before that as a kid, I sometimes went to the arcade. But they were expensive, and difficult in order to get you to spend more money. PC's at that time were not advanced enough, so I dismissed them and gaming. And obviously a lot of changes, passed by without me knowing. So in my late 30's I built a computer, for me and my son to explore gaming. I was so lost, now I'm fairly curious so I, would figure things out by trial and error. But even to this day, I struggle if a game has too much tutorial or too little to none. If I have too many abilities I tend to forget about them, and just push through with what I have. Often I will forget I have grenades and never use them, I'm fairly linear in how I play. But I notice other ppl playing games, do all sorts of crazy moves. As for difficulty, everyone should play how they want to. For me, if there is easy mode or story mode. I will go for that especially the first time, because I'm looking to be entertained and for a good story. Life is pretty hard as it is, so I don't want to come home from a Twelve hour shift. With bosses on my back, to get enraged by something I want to play to have fun. But other people looking for a challenge fair enough, you do you honestly. I'm not really very competitive, I worry about what I'm doing not other people. So I'm running a race against myself. I don't need my entertainment to be challenging, because people outside of me are going to do that. Challenge me and push me in my life, but again that's not everyone's narrative. So these videos are interesting to me, great video and thank you.

[@_I_Am_Pineapple]

Having her play DARK SOULS tutorial without any guidance is actually diabolical. My step dad did that to me when I was a kid, it made me give up on dark souls for 3 years, until I returned to it, older, and became a souls veteran. That tutorial is evil, the idea "run away from the boss" being the first lesson of the game is not normal to most games, making it extra difficult to get the hold on it for less experienced gamers.

[@Arrow154]

I'm such a fan of videos like these. Games are a phenominon amongst gamers vs non gamers. My aunt got heavily into video games a couple years back and... I must say, it was an experience. But it also opened my eyes to just how much intuition I have as a gamer going into a brand new game vs someone who's older without that baseline foundation. Muscle memory and knowing the tools to play are what I found to be the largest hinderance for a nongamer. Pretty interesting stuff.

[@pineapplezztv7674]

I think that as kids we are more enamored with the spectacle of whats going on. everything looks so cool and flashy that we dont really think of other ways to solve the problem. as we get older we become more intrigued in the possibilities instead of taking whats being given. both of these are perfectly fine ways to enjoy a game. i dont think theres necessarily a right or wrong approach to games but this video has certainly opened my eyes as to how our interests in games dont necessarily change, but our approach to them instead.

All the mouse does on your computer is to select stuff. And since buttons are already allocated to those activities, it may seem like the mouse does nothing Imagine I teach you a new language, should i expect you to know a few words in japanese based on context clues you get from japanese people speaking to you???

Yeah, play a platformer you know the gist of most platformers but play a genre you’ve never played before and you are going to be as clueless as the guy’s wife apparently. And #3, those “creative, out-of-the-box” solutions didn’t work because of limitations but because they were scripted events, not a single game has ever had the intention of you hiding from an enemy where it couldn’t reach you and slowly chip away at it’s health but almost every game has had that interaction possible. The guy’s info is limited to what he thinks he knows and what his wife doesn’t know.

1. A non-gamer, even the video states that, she isnt familiar with ANY controller. so ofc she couldnt mess with the buttons when she doesnt know what are buttons and what they do 2. Thats literally the point of the video as well, idk what youre trying to prove here 3. thats literally the definition of a limitation. what are you smoking mister progamer69

@ 1. Gamer, non-gamer, child, adult. It should not matter, it’s not like a tv remote where messing with the buttons will have a negative effect, the fact that she isn’t familiar with any controls just encourages the fact that you need to just press all the buttons to figure out what they do. 2. The point of the video was to show the differences between people who played games their whole lives vs people who have never played suddenly playing for the first time, but it’s bullshit, there is no “inherit gamer knowledge,” just because you grew up playing games doesn’t mean you would know how to play ALL games. Someone who plays basketball and someone who has never played a sport would be at equal entry level skill playing golf. 3. He’s acting as if, “oh, games are very limited compared to peoples’ creative imagination and if you play games your thought process is limited to what you are suppose to do in the game.” Where that is clearly not true. Games will have scripted events where there will most likely be only one solution but that doesn’t mean the entire game is like that. The intuition to hide is not usually intended but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible with success elsewhere in the game. The video just pisses me off, I do not care for the guy who made it and will not look into it but if he had a follow-up with him playing a genre of game he never played and he was just as clueless as his wife was, maybe understanding it quicker but still just as clueless in the beginning, then I wouldn’t be so harsh.
