Yeah... They shoul have told him what you are able to do and what you cant do. Cause he was obviously "better" in surviving than the game let him show. Seeing him struggle only because he cant handle video games well made me sad cause he seems to know what he's talking about :(

[@frightfang5235]

They could have at least walked him through what the stats in the left hand corner mean and what happens when those stats deplete, how to navigate the menus, things like that. I would love to see this guy do more videos of this game, but they gotta teach him some of the mechanics so that he can actually play it.

[@sponge260]

@@ate2997 exactly, if he had been told to "press i" at least he would have had some chance. He could have seen what he has on him, put on the clothes and just generally find out how to do things.

[@Yutani_Crayven]

He found the control wheel just fine. Issue with telling him how to put on clothes is that it would tell him beforehand that clothes are something that you should go for in the game. It would ruin the process of discovery from the get go. The only alternative here would then be to tell him how to put them on after he found them, but then they would have to perpetually cut the video for advice any time he finds something.

[@Masterfrogg]

Most of the features this guy asked for are actually in the game. You can eat cat tails for nourishment. You can throw small rocks at rabbits to stun them and grab them. I feel like Buzzfeed just didn't do a good enough job of explaining the game to the survivalist, nor showed him the inventory system or how the temperature bar or condition bar worked.

[@onetakem]

I think they did the right thing, I didn't have anyone to explain it. I had to figure it out on my own too, that really added to the experience, remember that he only got 3 tries to play it. With a few more runs he would have figured that out. I believe he was so focused on explaining what you would do in the Real World that he missed a few of those mechanics. He did a great job for someone that hadn't touched a video game in over 40 years.

[@kainxjm]

OTM but did you ever play a video game before? Because he didn’t notice the health bar at the bottom or the status symbols.

[@HisRealChild]

Survival games need him to improve games. He is full of good ideas that the average person would probably not think about.

[@AuraCreed]

I'd honesty like to see what other things he'd mention if he played through the whole game. It's always nice to see someone unfamiliar with gaming playing games -- you can learn from a fresh perspective.

[@padig226]

@ERA CASTE what could be done?

[@nghsrae14]

I've played this game soooo many times. The probken with this guy is, he doesn't know how to play video games. Had he known he would have likely survived. He never picked up sticks on the ground, or the rocks that were right there!, he didn't really look at tge cattails cause you can pick them eat them or use them to make tinder plugs...interesting video for sure.

[@cockoroach]

I’d honestly never even thought about dissembling a bullet to use the gun powder as an accelerant to easily start a fire. If anything this should be implemented. Amazing idea for survival games.

[@cockoroach]

Rachel Bloom it’s obvious to a gamer to pick up all the sticks and that they reset, but this guy was thinking real life. No survivalist is going to just jam cold wet snow sticks into their pockets. That would lower your chance of survival. The problem with applying real life survival logic into video games means the games would be boring as all hell. A minimalist mindset. Water is really the necessity in real life. In real life you can go weeks without eating. And everything is flammable. Most organic things are edible-though not very nutritious. True survival experts would be able to survive a nearly indefinite amount of time based out of the hunters cabin.

[@raiahy]

The game devs really need to hire him to make the game better!

[@Morningbikeride]

You would think they could consult with a serious survivalist like this guy to ensure realism.

[@kixel2859]

They are an extremely small game development studio and they often explain that sometimes they have to sacrifice realism for the sake of implementing features that actually impact the experience of the game and the things mechanics they introduce, rather than just adding things for no real reason besides realism.

[@untamedpandasweg8986]

raiahi Being completely realistic isn't what makes great games. Play Shenmue, then say that quick time events for every action a character makes is the only true kind of realism. No time passing while crafting would be untenable, having to press buttons for quick time events for 3 hours in real time to craft anything.. That's not a game.. That's a life on Earth as a Human 1:1, so you may as well not play the game kind of simulation.

I'm not sure if hay freezes or not but the hay bales are tightly packed and it is very cold so they would be even stiffer, making it hard to break. The other suggestions he mentioned are already in the game, he just didn't know how to do them

[@sicemic]

Looking for the comment that will tell me the ending (too lazy to watch). I guess this is it.

[@AlmightyBeing]

The two things that he was right about not being realistic is the grass not being edible and the hay bales not being breakable but these two things are in the game to be more aesthetic. Otherwise the game would just be plain and boring and people would be less likely to play it as much or as long. The hay bales probably would have been destroyed already (very old farms, the buildings aren't even together anymore as well as other survivers would have thought of using them aswell) and their is edible grass in the game just not all of it is edible because the game would be too easy and you could just eat grass all day long (the game doesn't have nutrients management or anything, this would be to tedious for the average player, which was apparent in another game that had it, which I can't remember the name of right now)

"stale, i don't care if it's stale. you haven't eaten in two weeks stale doesn't mean anything" "Dog food? Hey, i'll take it." fave lines so far

6:45 when he says to be quiet because of the deer gots me dead

Him: It’s always warmer the higher you go. Mt. Everest: am I a joke to you?

[@johnnyringo5411]

"I probably wouldn't be in a hangout mode because there's a dead person nearby" lmao

[@vitalino1981]

He is definitely more experienced in survival then the devs of the game. They should have hired him for consulting in order to make a game more realistic and educational.

[@asvpcolby8570]

vitalino1981 before you even loud the game up it says “this is not for educational reasons”

[@kixel2859]

They are an extremely small dev team, and they sometimes speak about how they sacrifice realism for the sake of bringing features and mechanics which actually bring something to the experience of the game. Maybe if it was a larger game development studio they could afford to spend resources on realistic features purely for the sake of realism

[@jadejaguar69]

Hi! The word you're looking for is he has more survival knowledge "than" the developers!

[@Dexter-Draws]

This game wasnt meant to be instructional or educational at all lmao tf. Some aspects need to be a bit unrealistic to accommodate the story and gameplay

[@achilles3830]

Personally I don’t agree with you. It’s best to let the devs do what they what and make the game how they what. Listening to the community is fine but I doesn’t always help and can often ruin or slow the development of the game.

[@shanekim28]

Oh no, you started him in Pleasant Valley, probably one of the hardest regions

[@tissuemissue9324]

Lol yea agreed haha stuck there almost a year, stop playing, and then found a way out to mysterious lake ...

[@tissuemissue9324]

@@-_pi_- a year, sorry

[@Samimies]

I think that HRV is the hardest zone to survive in.

[@kms6647]

They set this guy up to fail they 1.didnt teach him what the icons meant 2.didnt tell him that he could to LITERALLY everything he said to do and 3.didnt even tell him how to bring up his inventory and 4.knowingly set him up in the hardest region

[@wigletron2846]

This game always made me feel like it would be easier to survive in real life than in the game

[@Ass_Raiders_OG]

True lmfao

[@lifegoeson1963]

please do more survival games, this is amazing 😍

[@sheriff5761]

In real life he survives 500+ days. Every gamer fade into the long dark in first day...

[@Andre-uu5xv]

"Ammo is good for fire starting" Not what I was thinking but, ok

[@exilley2134]

Well it would make sense from a realist perspective, wouldn't it, seeing that the ammo is combustible and all

[@nickfulton8173]

And the fact that you can use blackpowder in the game as an accelerate now and breaking ammo down gives you blackpowder, but I will admit that during the making of this video it was not in the game yet

[@sarahshae1543]

Let me see how that feels 🙌 🔥 that feels good 😂

[@stellalpina]

A good sense of humor can save you out in the wild... 😂

[@mariannerognerud]

If I'm cold, I can't play this game. 😊# too realistic ambience

[@chefsg591]

I saw this comment AS he says the line!

[@sarahshae1543]

Chef SG hahahah

[@ventusxzephyr13]

I could listen to this dude all day

[@linnpanovska8700]

He lowkey sounds like Bob Ross 🤗🤗

[@cheeseontop4890]

Materials: found Survivalist: *TAKE IT*

[@InterloperBob]

Rather than have him play, they should have had him react to the survival aspects of the game as demonstrated by someone who knows how to play.

[@aliyahblackburn2476]

No one: Christopher Nyerges: TAKE IT

[@georgetrakas5102]

I just love the fact that he seems to be enjoying the game. Well done Hinterland!!

[@formam1022]

"Welcome any living people, even dead people, but preferably living."

[@Metal86BE]

oh man, i wanna see the guy play some more. he's so into it. really nice to watch

[@sofia3097]

You should explain to him how the game works, especially if he didn't play games before

[@BryantVonMiller]

This man is awesome! He would be such an awesome uncle or grandfather to know. I bet going camping with him is so much fun, heck anything with him would be really awesome. Resourceful, knowledgable and quite funny. He would be such an awesome person to be around.

''Real operator tries to play Rainbow Six Siege'' Pleaseeeee !

[@jennykathe5789]

If someone taught him how to use his inventory and the actual mechanics of the game this would be such an AWESOME series. I love the long dark, and his thought process would be so cool to watch.

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

Best quote(s) from this guy so far: - "Even dead people are welcome, but mostly living people."

[@Nigmin]

this dude: **says anything about survival** The long dark developers: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN

[@allyma3]

He is so funny I love himmm he should vlog I would totally watch

[@drecross8704]

Tom Holland plays Spider-Man Ps4

[@ronex6211]

These videos are great. I would enjoy watching longer podcast-style videos of professionals playing games of their field.

[@jayst]

This guy is so awesome. I really hope he plays this again but with a better understanding of the game mechanics. His knowledge of survival is incredible, he just needs to be taught what the game wants from him

[@MelissaHogwood]

It seems the game should add some new features!

[@l3itch]

Miloš Vlajković I bought it a bit ago and watched it improve, it’s quite fun and i definitely recommend it! a lot of the features in the game, they didn’t include in this video. you can eat the plants (cattails, he probably missed it) and so many other features. :) it’s very enjoyable, give it a try if you can.

[@mishka1569]

A lot of the features the guy was complaining about were actually in the game, and a quick google search can help verify that. The game is nowhere near as lacking as the video and commentors make it out to be. If you're wanting a realistic permadeath survival experience then The Long Dark is going to be a far better choice than The Forest.

[@sarasthoughts]

They already have many many features he mentioned

[@over00lordunknown12]

This video summarized: "Heyyy I'll take it!"

[@vichardt8288]

This is actually pretty nice to watch, him giving some infos on what could be done if you are in that situation, and what can be add to the game to make it more realistic.

[@dikidsaputra2536]

I love watching profesional real life play games, thanks buddy

[@shanayekh9345]

I love that he had to get his spectacles out to play the game 😂😂😂
