I totally agree!! I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate that without the video retention dropping off at the end, haha. I may try to mix them in a bit earlier in the video. We'll see what we can do. Thank you much for some feedback and thanks for watching!
I love how supportive of your girlfriend you are. And it's cool how patient she is and how she continued to play through it, even if she had a little bit of trouble in a few areas. Good on you both.
Thank you so much, Christopher! It means a lot when people take the time to leave such a kind comment. I really appreciate it and hope you'll join us for more videos :)
I’ve been too much of a chicken to try any horror games this far. But I think this video is a sign to try some of the Resident Evil series! I love how Ellie is really adapting that gamer mindset and I think it so so cool to see how far she’s come :)
Hey good to see you back, Ollie!! I would love to know your thoughts if you do, RE is one of my favorite series ever! This is probably the most intense one, so you may want to start with a different one, haha. I'm with you, I'm loving seeing the progress she's making, I'm excited to see where she goes from here :)
i think her growing skills are starting to show, compared to old videos she is getting things way quicker, and also she seems to be developing the "gamer brain" as you say, which is impresive to see in real time with these videos, things like pointing to the head immediately, learning quicker to change fight strategies when soemthing doesn't work, o finding clues in a "videogame-esque" way. Keep it up if she likes because we surely are interested i her progress. Aside from that, great game to make a video of, old residents can be fristrating due to their old mechanics but anything from 7 onwards is great to learn
Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment, Alexis! I totally agree, she's definitely developing those gamer instincts. Aiming right for the head is a great point, I hadn't even considered that. We definitely plan to keep the series going! Ellie seems to be enjoying it a lot and I'm glad to hear that people like you are as well. For sure, some of the old ones are rough these days, but we'll do some of the newer ones in future videos, hopefully! Hope you'll join for those :)
Another great video! Awesome to see the more genres Ellie plays through in this series the more overall “gamer knowledge” she’s gaining and becoming more accustomed to those instincts that come with!
Oh awesome, so glad you enjoyed it! Seriously, I feel like this one more than any, I was able to see some of the progression she's experiencing from just playing so many games. It's really cool to see and I hope it continues!
I love her commentary being added in in the recent videos. After she gets more gaming experience, I'd like to see her revisit games she has played before to see how quickly she reacclimates and if the knowledge she has picked up from other games has helped her figure out more stuff overall. Also I would LOVE to see her try this game in VR 🤣
Awesome, I'm very glad to hear that!! Her commentary is definitely here to stay, I think it makes the videos so much better. I totally agree, I think revisiting games would be a ton of fun, as she continues to hone her skills. Oh man, RE7 VR would be *intense*, maybe I can convince her to do it at some point... let me know if there are any other games you'd like to see!
My favorite of this series so far! I love RE7! "Sometimes you just gotta accept things in life." LMAO! Very good call Ellie! Gotta give her a hand for doing so well in this one! The whole Baker family is really such an amazing antagonistic force, they are horrifying. I can't wait to see more of what is on the plate for Ellie, and more of what Wils finds and enjoys in the near future!
Awesome, so glad to hear that, Noble!! Haha, Ellie was on her comedic game with this one, I gotta say. Seeing play through some of this has made me appreciate the game all the more. Such an awesome game, I think I like it more than 8. We shall see what comes next...
I'm so glad you're enjoying it and that you discovered the channel! Welcome aboard :) Let me know if there are any other games you'd like to see us cover!
Ethan's calm and collected, you say? Sure, but I submit that Silent Hill: The Room's protagonist Henry Townshend gives Ethan a chill stroll for his money any day of the week. Uhm, I'll see myself out. By the way, I think it's only fair that Ellie gets to force you to play games of *her* choosing in return. How about five hours with, say, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Cat Cafe Manager or Barbie Horse Adventures? Ellie, you reading this? Get in touch with me for more creative suggestions! 😁
I really need to expand my Silent Hill knowledge, I'm so behind on that series! Not gonna lie, 5 hours with Barbie horse adventures sounds like a dream come true. Bring it on, Ellie :)
Played this game in VR. Well, I tried to. An early jumpscare got me so bad that I punched myself in the headset, gave myself a minor black eye, scratched my glasses and the lenses on the headset, and broke my right thumbstick. Just... No
this series is premium second monitor binge content loving it!! big +1 to the comments suggesting an ellie's thoughts segment at the end of the vids (particularly whether she'd want to continue playing given her experience in these trials) as imo it would be purely additive and most people watching the viedos' entirety would be glad to see the slightly longer run times anyways! very grateful for the addition of her narrative segments btw they're great. good stuff!
Wow, thank you for such a kind comment, Cameron, I appreciate it so much!! It makes all the work these videos take worth it when I get to hear from real people who are enjoying them. I'm with you, I want to do a better job of incorporating Ellie's overall thoughts. I'm going to try mixing them into 'Hour 5' on the next video and see how it turns out. I hope you continue to enjoy the series and let me know if there are any other games you'd like to see us cover!
Resi7 is just so extra scary when you're still new to gaming. It was among some of the first games I tried myself after years of just watching Let's Play videos. At some points my ass was off the couch and I was playing half standing because I was so panicked and feeling out of control 😅. I think sucking at games enhanced the horror and made it a truly unique experience for me. I still can't get past the first Mia fight on Madhouse difficulty 5 years later but once I gain some more gaming experience (maybe for a couple more years) I hope I will be able to get the platinum some day. I started in 2019 with not being able to move myself and the camera at the same time smoothly and now I've managed to 100% Resi3 and Resi8 but this one's still too hard. I love videos like this where you can see someone learn how to play games, it's really interesting (and validating) to see as someone who also learned as an adult.
Wow, this is so cool to hear, thank you for taking the time to share!! I've been loving hearing from people who have gotten into gaming into adulthood. You absolutely continue to improve as you play more and I have no doubt that you'll be able to acquire the platinum trophy in the future. Keep us posted on your progress :)
Couldn't have chosen a better video to watch during my lunch break today! Edit: just finished watching. Great vid as always! You're still improving with each one!
I love Re7 and played it enough to have my own strategy (closing doors simply… yes even with the infinite ammo and circular saw) so it’s always fun to see new people to play it
This video is amazing! I just saw Ellie (don't know how to write her name, sorry Ellie!) playing Bloodborne and I really liked how now we get her comments and screams. Just a suggestion: I think you both could make a rule about you giving her 3 really detailed helps if she asks for it. As I find interesting seeing her adapting and discovering things about the game, I also think it would be interesting to see exactly where during gameplay she thinks it is better to ask for the help. There are some times on those games where the learning curve is a little too much for the new player in my opinion. Anyway, thanks for the video!
Wow, thank so much for such a kind comment, João!! You spelled Ellie right :) I'm glad you're digging her commentary! I think it makes the videos a lot better. I think that's a great idea and something I'll talk to her about, could be a really cool thing to incorporate. Thank you again for watching and taking the time to leave this comment, let me know if there are any other games you'd like to see us cover!
Good to see you again, Roman!! Yeah, she did waaay better with the perspective. The next game is first person as well and she seems to doing well after the first couple of hours, so I'm thinking Skyrim may have been an outlier. Glad you dug the video, hope to see you for the next one!
This kind of videos must be seen by devs, Ellie's logic is understandable and gives a new player's perspective on mechanics that engraved in our brains and its not always a good thing. Great video and yes, sweaty hands is our bane ✊
Thank you so much, Glod! I'm really happy you enjoyed it :) I'm hoping the developers one of these games sees an episode of the series at some point! That would be so cool. I hope to see you around for future videos!
Duuuuude! Hell yeah! Resident Evil 7 is the only RE I've played and it is such a good game! I'm impressed at Ellie's progress playing first person games, she's getting good! She'll be top of the Call of Duty leaderboard in no time :)
Such a good game!! I love it even more after watching Ellie play it. For sure, she's getting way better. Gotta get her on that COD, babyyyy Also you should totally give RE4 a run, I bet you'd love that one!
Well done Ellie! I've been playing RE games since the 90's and I personally found 7 to be the scariest and the hardest to master - I also don't vibe with the 1st person and I think it gives it a feeling of it all happening to you rather than to the game protagonist. Also I would have 100% written Mia off as a lost cause and moved on with my life 🤣🤣
Thanks, Kerbal! I'm right there with you, I think 7 is easily the scariest. Yeah, I really like the first person perspective from a gameplay perspective, but Ethan ends up feeling like such a forgetful protagonist. Lol, me too! Sure as hell wouldn't have gone deep into some swamp looking for her.
Man what a good video, the only thing i would add would be a little rant by Ellie to see what she thinks about the game in the ending othen than that im so glad i found another great channel to look forward too
That's a great suggestion, I totally agree! I'm trying to figure out a good way to include some final thoughts that doesn't negatively affect the video's retention. We'll figure something out :) I'm so glad you discovered the channel, Lucas, welcome aboard! Let me know if there are other games you'd like to see us cover
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the house section is definitely the strongest part of the game. One of my favorite environments of any Resident Evil game!
well technically mia is not presumed dead she was just missing, combine that with the letter she sends ethan which is actually in your invintory at the start of the game and it is not that odd he wouldn't be suprised to see her.
Thanks, Babble, great to see you! We actually didn't even need to tinker with the FOV on this one, Ellie adapted to it *way* better than Skyrim. The next episode will feature another first person game, and so far, she seems to be handling that one well, too, so I'm thinking Skyrim may have been the outlier. Portal would be a great one to try! Definitely want to get that one going at some point.
Good luck, this is exactly the type of game i would never be able to play even if I wanted to :D i am too scared to play anything like this 😅 i am a bit scared to even watch but I wont let you in this :DDDD
Ive actually never played a resident evil game so this episode was extra interesting. Great video as always! Have either of you heard of ori and the blind forest or it's sequel ori and the will of the wisps? Its a metroidvania similar to hollow knight however ori and the blind forest focuses more on platforming and puzzles rather than combat. The sequel has more fine tuned combat and i found it more fun. If this sounds interesting id love to see ellie play it one day!
Hey, Solstice! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, especially as someone that didn't already have familiarity with the series. My hope is for these to be entertaining even without prior game knowledge, so I always love hearing that. I'm very familiar with the Ori games, but I actually still haven't ever played them! I need to get a system that they're on first, but I will definitely play them eventually and would love to feature the series in a future episode!
Horror games, something that I need to engage with more in the future, I know the Resident Evil series for a long time (because of those movies no one likes except me apparently) but never played any of the games for some reason. But it looks like Ellie handles this sort of game really well, I wonder if she enjoy this game genre considering she already have some experience with a few titles. Maybe in the future she can also try Signalis or Crow Country. Another great video btw, will be in the wait for the next one.
Ooh you should definitely give the RE games a try! I bet you'd really enjoy them. I was super impressed with how well she handled it, we'll definitely do more horror games in the future! Crow Country and Signalis are awesome suggestions, thanks for that :) Thank you so much, I'll see you then!
She did really good! I too hate limited bullet game design lol think when I played RE2 I basically had a full arsenal in my inventory at the end of the game because of over saving my ammo
I'll let her you know said that! Yeah, I'm *such* a hoarder in survival horror. Particularly with RE4, I love seeing how much stuff I can accumulate in my attache case, lol
Did Ellie get eyestrain or motion sickness? I ask because I occasionally suffer from this with first person games, and Resident Evil 7 and 8 were particularly bad. Also, this was particularly interesting because Ellie already played through RE4. I'm assuming that was quite some time ago, since she kinda' neglected her ammo conservation here. Has she considered playing one of the original Playstation RE games? How good is she with tank controls? LOL.
I just asked and she said she didn't have any issues with eye strain or motion sickness while playing! That's interesting that these two were so rough for you. I can see why first person games would be more inclined to induce motion sickness, haha. It was actually only a few months ago! Ammo conservation just isn't her strong suit (yet) haha. I think one of the OG games could be super interesting. Something tells me she's not gonna love tank controls, lol. Thanks as always for watching, Jack!
Stumbled about this vid and to be honest i really liked it... here ellie try this... and you watched and narrated without giving her any hint... (would really like to know if you were peeking from behind, trying to keep yourself shut, or just watching it afterwards) she was sometimes confused of "standard gaming mechanics" for experienced gamers like the shotgun switch or "if it exists it has a purpose" but she never is to frustrated to be like "fuck this shit i'm out"... but to be honest i would like to hear more from her... nice calm voice And instead of the other commentary, yea i think outlast or maybe dead space is a nice idea but I would realy like to see how she would do at "inside" the successor of "limbo" from Playdead. A nice short title which would be fitting her gamestyle
Thank you so much, Christian! I really appreciate that and I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) I sit next to hear as she plays! It's too fun not to watch, haha. She is very diligent which I find very impressive. We'll definitely include more of her commentary in future videos! Inside is a great suggestion, we'll definitely do that at some point in the future! I hope you'll join us for more episodes of the show :)
I think it's definitely peaked her interest in a few different genres that she wasn't familiar with! Not so much with specific games (excluding Hollow Knight), although she said she would be interested in continuing RE7. Maybe we can continue with some games in future episodes!
Good to see you again, Mason! Outlast would be an awesome choice, I definitely want to dig into that series at some point. I also want to do some co-op stuff. Could be really cool to see how we do playing together!
I want my friend to play this he’s a way better gamer than me so he’d probably fly through the game but I’ve played this before and he’s only played RE4
@ He might! I’m also glad he doesn’t mind 1st person stuff because when I first played RE7 I had to get used to the 1st person view. That’s also why I was happy that RE8 can switch between the two!
@@Wilson-108 When they did the first person point of view in RE7 it added to the atmosphere to the game. Unlike the other previous RE games and that’s why I think it’s the scariest out of them all, but that’s just my opinion. If they keep that up with the first person perspective, and if they make other RE games after RE8 with that point of view it’ll add to whatever atmosphere they want to with whatever monsters they want to add.
@@Wilson-108that’s totally fair. Personally I’m down for at least an hour hahaha. You guys are so much fun and going on these little journeys with you and Ellie is just pure joy❤
I enjoy watching videos of inexperienced people playing games, but you narrate almost the entire time. It kind of ruins the point of having your girlfriend, who I assume isnt really a gamer, play these games for our entertainment. I’m not trying to be mean, just giving my honest opinion. Check out Razbuten and MontyZander’s videos to see what I’m talking about. You don’t have to take my advice obviously, but I think it might help your channel. Either way, best of luck to you.
I appreciate the feedback! We're early in this series, so I'm still trying to feel out the right amount of narration vs her live commentary. I think the next one will feature the most live commentary of any video so far. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it if you feel like watching when it's published! I'm a big Razbuten fan :)
@@Wilson-108 I think you have a great set up here. I don’t think I’m the only one who loves watching videos like this. There’s something entertaining about watching someone who’s not use to gaming play games. I seriously think you’re sitting on a gold mine. Kind of like Girlfriend Reviews as well (at least when they started). Now I’m not anybody with any authority on the subject, but I know what I like. Take all my BS with a grain of salt, but the fact that you’re open to suggestion tells me you’ve got a real chance of making it on UA-cam if that’s what you really want. I just subbed to your channel and look forward to see what you do next. I wish you all the luck in the world.
Thank you so much, Bret, really appreciate you saying that, and thank you for presenting your suggestions respectfully. I value the constructive criticism *so* much. I really want to make these videos better as we go. I think the channel has the potential to grow a lot, too, so I want to do what I can to support that. We'll see where it goes! For now, just trying to make each video a little bit better than the last one. Welcome aboard, I'm glad you stumbled onto the channel :)
Bro, the video seems ok, but you need to stop telling and start showing the VIDEO. Otherwise, it's just a boring retelling and not a full-fledged video. You're literally telling how interesting it was for you, but not showing the video itself.
@@Wilson-108My opinion differs, personally. A lot of the interesting tidbits *are* shown in the video, like when Ellie is kicking the body in the morgue. Your commentary and the accompanying footage cuts to the meat and potatoes of everything and gives us a fresh look into the perspective of someone less attuned to gaming. However, I'm only me, and if others would prefer seeing a different approach, I am nobody to tell them that they are wrong. Might I suggest uploading the raw gameplay videos (perhaps with real-time commentary, as sometimes displayed here by Ellie, herself, included) and placing them in their own curated playlists? Keep up the good work and take care. c:
@@calciferblack2409 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment, Brandon, I really appreciate it! Personally, I feel like that trimming most of the raw footage and contextualizing it with my commentary makes for a more concise and, ultimately, better video. It seems like a lot of people dig the format, but you're right, it could be a good idea to upload the raw footage uncut at some point. Maybe on a separate channel once we've grown a bit more :)
Like this comment if you also get sweaty gaming hands 😔
That’s how you know you’re in the zone lol
literally me playing dark souls, I feel you :(
If you don’t get sweaty gaming hands, did you even game?
Especially in this game,yes! 😂
You're asking the real questions, Yuri :)
Man is risking his relationship to entertained us, and eterntained we'll be. Her narration quite hilarious, more in the future.
Haha, I gotta give the people what they want! It really is, she's a funny gal. Glad you enjoyed, Hamster, hope to see you around for future episodes!
I think it would be interesting if we get some final thoughts from both of you at the end of the game. Enjoying the channel, keep it up!
I totally agree!! I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate that without the video retention dropping off at the end, haha. I may try to mix them in a bit earlier in the video. We'll see what we can do. Thank you much for some feedback and thanks for watching!
Love to hear her reflections too
Jack: OH bo... gets shot fives time in the face by a glock 17
What's up, Soupy! Jack knows how to take a beating
I love how supportive of your girlfriend you are. And it's cool how patient she is and how she continued to play through it, even if she had a little bit of trouble in a few areas.
Good on you both.
Thank you so much, Christopher! It means a lot when people take the time to leave such a kind comment. I really appreciate it and hope you'll join us for more videos :)

Hey good to see you back, Ollie!! I would love to know your thoughts if you do, RE is one of my favorite series ever! This is probably the most intense one, so you may want to start with a different one, haha. I'm with you, I'm loving seeing the progress she's making, I'm excited to see where she goes from here :)
being scared is the best part. if you play enough of them, at some point it’s harder to get freaked out by them lol
True! Eventually, you desensitize yourself, haha
i think her growing skills are starting to show, compared to old videos she is getting things way quicker, and also she seems to be developing the "gamer brain" as you say, which is impresive to see in real time with these videos, things like pointing to the head immediately, learning quicker to change fight strategies when soemthing doesn't work, o finding clues in a "videogame-esque" way. Keep it up if she likes because we surely are interested i her progress.
Aside from that, great game to make a video of, old residents can be fristrating due to their old mechanics but anything from 7 onwards is great to learn

I dont play horror games, but definitely enjoy watching someone playing them with a narration. Maybe one day i will try RE7.
Haha, it's a rough one to start with, but I highly recommend it, it's a great game! Good to see you again, Neirdio :)
Another great video! Awesome to see the more genres Ellie plays through in this series the more overall “gamer knowledge” she’s gaining and becoming more accustomed to those instincts that come with!
Oh awesome, so glad you enjoyed it! Seriously, I feel like this one more than any, I was able to see some of the progression she's experiencing from just playing so many games. It's really cool to see and I hope it continues!
engagement comment for the content machine
Haha, thank you very much, Ricochet! Hopefully this pleases the almighty algorithm :)
I love her commentary being added in in the recent videos. After she gets more gaming experience, I'd like to see her revisit games she has played before to see how quickly she reacclimates and if the knowledge she has picked up from other games has helped her figure out more stuff overall.

"Sometimes you just gotta accept things in life." LMAO! Very good call Ellie!
Gotta give her a hand for doing so well in this one!
The whole Baker family is really such an amazing antagonistic force, they are horrifying.
I can't wait to see more of what is on the plate for Ellie, and more of what Wils finds and enjoys in the near future!
Awesome, so glad to hear that, Noble!! Haha, Ellie was on her comedic game with this one, I gotta say. Seeing play through some of this has made me appreciate the game all the more. Such an awesome game, I think I like it more than 8. We shall see what comes next...

Mia’s with the maggots now 😔
Poor lil Mia :(
Ethan's calm and collected, you say? Sure, but I submit that Silent Hill: The Room's protagonist Henry Townshend gives Ethan a chill stroll for his money any day of the week.
Uhm, I'll see myself out.
By the way, I think it's only fair that Ellie gets to force you to play games of *her* choosing in return. How about five hours with, say, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Cat Cafe Manager or Barbie Horse Adventures? Ellie, you reading this? Get in touch with me for more creative suggestions! 😁
I really need to expand my Silent Hill knowledge, I'm so behind on that series!
Not gonna lie, 5 hours with Barbie horse adventures sounds like a dream come true. Bring it on, Ellie :)
wake up, honey! a new Wilson and Ellie gameplay video just dropped
Haha, welcome back, Bruno!! Hope you enjoyed :)
Played this game in VR. Well, I tried to. An early jumpscare got me so bad that I punched myself in the headset, gave myself a minor black eye, scratched my glasses and the lenses on the headset, and broke my right thumbstick. Just... No
Wow! That sounds intense as hell, haha. I've still never tried the game in VR. Do you remember what the specific jump scare was?
this series is premium second monitor binge content loving it!! big +1 to the comments suggesting an ellie's thoughts segment at the end of the vids (particularly whether she'd want to continue playing given her experience in these trials) as imo it would be purely additive and most people watching the viedos' entirety would be glad to see the slightly longer run times anyways! very grateful for the addition of her narrative segments btw they're great. good stuff!

New Wilson Video dropped lets go 👏
Also excited to watch this one as this will be the first ep with a game that I have not played before!
Wassup Heisenberg!! Oh that's awesome, I hope the video is still entertaining/fun for a game you haven't played!
She did really well! RE7 is so masterfully designed, that along with her increasing game literacy, I have no doubt she could crush this game!
Thanks for the kind comment, Garrett! I really think she could too! Maybe we can do a part 2 at some point :)
Resi7 is just so extra scary when you're still new to gaming. It was among some of the first games I tried myself after years of just watching Let's Play videos.

You absolutely continue to improve as you play more and I have no doubt that you'll be able to acquire the platinum trophy in the future. Keep us posted on your progress :)
Couldn't have chosen a better video to watch during my lunch break today!
Edit: just finished watching. Great vid as always! You're still improving with each one!
Oooh very nice, love to hear I'm a lunch break companion!
Really appreciate that dude, thank you so much. Gotta keep leveling up!!
this is when Re7's adaptive difficulty comes in clutch.
For sure, I love the RE adaptive difficulty! I wish more games would incorporate it
That trap door in the beginning is the hardest part of the whole game 😅😅
For sure, that section scared me more than anything else!
I love Re7 and played it enough to have my own strategy (closing doors simply… yes even with the infinite ammo and circular saw) so it’s always fun to see new people to play it
Sounds like you know the game well, I'm so glad you enjoyed watching Ellie play it! :)
Legit the first hit of advice I gave my wife when she started gaming was first check which control scheme is most comfortable loll
Saint advice, lol
Appreciate you checking out so many videos, Spectrum! I hope you'll join us for more :)
5:58 I like to think this means Ellie's powers are improving 😁
mmm yes, I like that perspective better. She's getting stronger, soon she'll be unstoppable...
This video is amazing! I just saw Ellie (don't know how to write her name, sorry Ellie!) playing Bloodborne and I really liked how now we get her comments and screams.
Just a suggestion: I think you both could make a rule about you giving her 3 really detailed helps if she asks for it.

Thank you again for watching and taking the time to leave this comment, let me know if there are any other games you'd like to see us cover!
What a nice choice of game to get acclimated to first person perspective! Great video
Good to see you again, Roman!! Yeah, she did waaay better with the perspective. The next game is first person as well and she seems to doing well after the first couple of hours, so I'm thinking Skyrim may have been an outlier. Glad you dug the video, hope to see you for the next one!
This kind of videos must be seen by devs, Ellie's logic is understandable and gives a new player's perspective on mechanics that engraved in our brains and its not always a good thing. Great video and yes, sweaty hands is our bane ✊
Thank you so much, Glod! I'm really happy you enjoyed it :)
I'm hoping the developers one of these games sees an episode of the series at some point! That would be so cool.
I hope to see you around for future videos!
One of these days Wilson and Ellie will play an online game VS. me and I will beat them because I’m MLG
Bring it onnnn baby. You, me, Boomarangfoo.
Love this series, please keep it up!
We most certainly will!! And always feel free to let me know if there are any games you'd like to see her try :)
In the Jack garage fight you can just evade him while he's in the car in order to end the fight.
Oh wow no kidding! I had no idea :)
Duuuuude! Hell yeah! Resident Evil 7 is the only RE I've played and it is such a good game! I'm impressed at Ellie's progress playing first person games, she's getting good! She'll be top of the Call of Duty leaderboard in no time :)
Such a good game!! I love it even more after watching Ellie play it. For sure, she's getting way better. Gotta get her on that COD, babyyyy
Also you should totally give RE4 a run, I bet you'd love that one!
Love to discover what you guys are up to
Glad you enjoyed! Let me know if there are any other games you'd like to see us cover!
Well done Ellie! I've been playing RE games since the 90's and I personally found 7 to be the scariest and the hardest to master - I also don't vibe with the 1st person and I think it gives it a feeling of it all happening to you rather than to the game protagonist.
Also I would have 100% written Mia off as a lost cause and moved on with my life 🤣🤣
Thanks, Kerbal! I'm right there with you, I think 7 is easily the scariest. Yeah, I really like the first person perspective from a gameplay perspective, but Ethan ends up feeling like such a forgetful protagonist. Lol, me too! Sure as hell wouldn't have gone deep into some swamp looking for her.
Man what a good video, the only thing i would add would be a little rant by Ellie to see what she thinks about the game in the ending othen than that im so glad i found another great channel to look forward too
That's a great suggestion, I totally agree! I'm trying to figure out a good way to include some final thoughts that doesn't negatively affect the video's retention. We'll figure something out :)
I'm so glad you discovered the channel, Lucas, welcome aboard! Let me know if there are other games you'd like to see us cover
Great video. I'm a horror fanatic that loves Re7 (until the ship section) and found the house terrifying, particularly Marguerite
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the house section is definitely the strongest part of the game. One of my favorite environments of any Resident Evil game!
well technically mia is not presumed dead she was just missing, combine that with the letter she sends ethan which is actually in your invintory at the start of the game and it is not that odd he wouldn't be suprised to see her.
I don't know, I think I might start to assume someone is dead if they've been missing for 3 years! But I'm glad she wasn't :)
kinda sad she didn't get to experience Luckas' part. The puzzles in his part are amazing imo
Totally, we may come back to this game again in the future!
@ if you do I’m looking forward to it
Great job, Ellie! Did you guys mess with the FOV or are you just getting a bit more used to FPS? Also, is Portal anywhere on the upcoming games list?
Thanks, Babble, great to see you! We actually didn't even need to tinker with the FOV on this one, Ellie adapted to it *way* better than Skyrim. The next episode will feature another first person game, and so far, she seems to be handling that one well, too, so I'm thinking Skyrim may have been the outlier.
Portal would be a great one to try! Definitely want to get that one going at some point.
@@Wilson-108 I love portal SO much, i can't wait! She's such a cat that I call my new kitten GLaDOS in her honor
That is an amazing name!
Good luck, this is exactly the type of game i would never be able to play even if I wanted to :D i am too scared to play anything like this 😅 i am a bit scared to even watch but I wont let you in this :DDDD
Haha, I completely understand! You can live vicariously through Ellie :)
Ive actually never played a resident evil game so this episode was extra interesting. Great video as always!
Have either of you heard of ori and the blind forest or it's sequel ori and the will of the wisps? Its a metroidvania similar to hollow knight however ori and the blind forest focuses more on platforming and puzzles rather than combat. The sequel has more fine tuned combat and i found it more fun. If this sounds interesting id love to see ellie play it one day!
Hey, Solstice! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, especially as someone that didn't already have familiarity with the series. My hope is for these to be entertaining even without prior game knowledge, so I always love hearing that.
I'm very familiar with the Ori games, but I actually still haven't ever played them! I need to get a system that they're on first, but I will definitely play them eventually and would love to feature the series in a future episode!
@Wilson-108 when you play them I hope you like them!
...ive been on the path of pain for seven hours send help
I'm really excited to play them :)
Oh boy, send in the EMTs!!
Really fun concept, great video you two! ❤
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you'll join us for more :)
Very good video, definitely worth a part 2!
Thank you so much, Peter! We definitely may do a part 2 in the future. Let me know if there are any other games you'd like to see Ellie try!
Horror games, something that I need to engage with more in the future, I know the Resident Evil series for a long time (because of those movies no one likes except me apparently) but never played any of the games for some reason.
But it looks like Ellie handles this sort of game really well, I wonder if she enjoy this game genre considering she already have some experience with a few titles.
Maybe in the future she can also try Signalis or Crow Country.
Another great video btw, will be in the wait for the next one.
Ooh you should definitely give the RE games a try! I bet you'd really enjoy them.
I was super impressed with how well she handled it, we'll definitely do more horror games in the future! Crow Country and Signalis are awesome suggestions, thanks for that :)
Thank you so much, I'll see you then!
She did really good! I too hate limited bullet game design lol think when I played RE2 I basically had a full arsenal in my inventory at the end of the game because of over saving my ammo
I'll let her you know said that! Yeah, I'm *such* a hoarder in survival horror. Particularly with RE4, I love seeing how much stuff I can accumulate in my attache case, lol
I just got the platinum trophy for this game and I also “professionally” speed run this game!!! Easily in my top 10 best games of all time!
That's fantastic, congratulations!! I'd love to go back and try for the platinum, one of these days... :)
Did Ellie get eyestrain or motion sickness? I ask because I occasionally suffer from this with first person games, and Resident Evil 7 and 8 were particularly bad.
Also, this was particularly interesting because Ellie already played through RE4. I'm assuming that was quite some time ago, since she kinda' neglected her ammo conservation here. Has she considered playing one of the original Playstation RE games? How good is she with tank controls? LOL.
I just asked and she said she didn't have any issues with eye strain or motion sickness while playing! That's interesting that these two were so rough for you. I can see why first person games would be more inclined to induce motion sickness, haha.
It was actually only a few months ago! Ammo conservation just isn't her strong suit (yet) haha. I think one of the OG games could be super interesting. Something tells me she's not gonna love tank controls, lol.
Thanks as always for watching, Jack!
Make her play Alien:Isolation please!
Great suggestion!! I've thought about that one. We'll definitely get to it in the future :)
Stumbled about this vid and to be honest i really liked it... here ellie try this... and you watched and narrated without giving her any hint...
(would really like to know if you were peeking from behind, trying to keep yourself shut, or just watching it afterwards)
she was sometimes confused of "standard gaming mechanics" for experienced gamers like the shotgun switch or "if it exists it has a purpose" but she never is to frustrated to be like "fuck this shit i'm out"...
but to be honest i would like to hear more from her... nice calm voice
And instead of the other commentary, yea i think outlast or maybe dead space is a nice idea but I would realy like to see how she would do at "inside" the successor of "limbo" from Playdead. A nice short title which would be fitting her gamestyle
Thank you so much, Christian! I really appreciate that and I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
I sit next to hear as she plays! It's too fun not to watch, haha.
She is very diligent which I find very impressive. We'll definitely include more of her commentary in future videos! Inside is a great suggestion, we'll definitely do that at some point in the future! I hope you'll join us for more episodes of the show :)
Loved the vid
Silent hill 2 remake next
Awesome, I'm so glad you dug it! We'll definitely get to SH2 in the future :)
Have any of these games inspired her to want to play a new kind of type of game like those? Like in a lets play maybe
I think it's definitely peaked her interest in a few different genres that she wasn't familiar with! Not so much with specific games (excluding Hollow Knight), although she said she would be interested in continuing RE7. Maybe we can continue with some games in future episodes!
Amazing vid❤
Thanks so much, Unix, great to see you as always!
Outlast next? 🤔
I've been thinking about doing Outlast! Maybe we can do all horror games in October (or sooner, haha) :)
you should get her to play Silent Hill 2 Remake lol
For sure, we'll definitely do Silent Hill 2 in the future!
You should do Silent Hill 2 next.
We'll definitely do SH in the future! Stay tuned... :)
You should have her try Outlast 2. Or do a special couples episode and play Phasmophobia or something 😂
Good to see you again, Mason! Outlast would be an awesome choice, I definitely want to dig into that series at some point. I also want to do some co-op stuff. Could be really cool to see how we do playing together!
yeah yeah RE7 is great and all but WHERE IS HOLLOW KNIGHT EP 3????
Haha, don't worry, we shall return to Hollow Knight in the coming weeks! Thanks for checking this one out, Jesse, good to see you again :)
I want my friend to play this he’s a way better gamer than me so he’d probably fly through the game but I’ve played this before and he’s only played RE4
I bet your friend would really like this game if he enjoyed RE4!
@ He might! I’m also glad he doesn’t mind 1st person stuff because when I first played RE7 I had to get used to the 1st person view. That’s also why I was happy that RE8 can switch between the two!
Me too, I hope they keep offering different perspectives!
@@Wilson-108 When they did the first person point of view in RE7 it added to the atmosphere to the game. Unlike the other previous RE games and that’s why I think it’s the scariest out of them all, but that’s just my opinion. If they keep that up with the first person perspective, and if they make other RE games after RE8 with that point of view it’ll add to whatever atmosphere they want to with whatever monsters they want to add.
Now to have ellie play RE village and compare how it plays to RE7
For sure, definitely want to do Village in the future, as well as other RE games!
now make her play the re4 remake!
Don't worry, we'll definitely be doing RE4 remake in the future :)
Is it just me or are these videos not long enough 🤔🤔
Good to see you again, Whatat! That's good to hear! I'm still trying to figure out what the sweet spot is with regard to length :)
@@Wilson-108that’s totally fair. Personally I’m down for at least an hour hahaha. You guys are so much fun and going on these little journeys with you and Ellie is just pure joy❤
I'd love to hit an episode that long at some point! That makes happy to hear, love that people are enjoying the videos so much!! Many more to come :)
I begged my girl to play it RE village she didn’t wanna play it
Haha, I can't say I blame her! We'll probably cover RE Village at some point :)
Should have started her with something easier like outlast
I'd definitely be interested in having her try Outlast for another episode!
I enjoy watching videos of inexperienced people playing games, but you narrate almost the entire time. It kind of ruins the point of having your girlfriend, who I assume isnt really a gamer, play these games for our entertainment. I’m not trying to be mean, just giving my honest opinion. Check out Razbuten and MontyZander’s videos to see what I’m talking about. You don’t have to take my advice obviously, but I think it might help your channel. Either way, best of luck to you.
I appreciate the feedback! We're early in this series, so I'm still trying to feel out the right amount of narration vs her live commentary. I think the next one will feature the most live commentary of any video so far. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it if you feel like watching when it's published! I'm a big Razbuten fan :)
@@Wilson-108 I think you have a great set up here. I don’t think I’m the only one who loves watching videos like this. There’s something entertaining about watching someone who’s not use to gaming play games. I seriously think you’re sitting on a gold mine. Kind of like Girlfriend Reviews as well (at least when they started). Now I’m not anybody with any authority on the subject, but I know what I like. Take all my BS with a grain of salt, but the fact that you’re open to suggestion tells me you’ve got a real chance of making it on UA-cam if that’s what you really want. I just subbed to your channel and look forward to see what you do next. I wish you all the luck in the world.
Thank you so much, Bret, really appreciate you saying that, and thank you for presenting your suggestions respectfully. I value the constructive criticism *so* much. I really want to make these videos better as we go. I think the channel has the potential to grow a lot, too, so I want to do what I can to support that. We'll see where it goes! For now, just trying to make each video a little bit better than the last one. Welcome aboard, I'm glad you stumbled onto the channel :)
Bro, the video seems ok, but you need to stop telling and start showing the VIDEO. Otherwise, it's just a boring retelling and not a full-fledged video. You're literally telling how interesting it was for you, but not showing the video itself.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, thanks for the feedback!
@@Wilson-108My opinion differs, personally. A lot of the interesting tidbits *are* shown in the video, like when Ellie is kicking the body in the morgue. Your commentary and the accompanying footage cuts to the meat and potatoes of everything and gives us a fresh look into the perspective of someone less attuned to gaming. However, I'm only me, and if others would prefer seeing a different approach, I am nobody to tell them that they are wrong. Might I suggest uploading the raw gameplay videos (perhaps with real-time commentary, as sometimes displayed here by Ellie, herself, included) and placing them in their own curated playlists? Keep up the good work and take care. c:
@@calciferblack2409 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment, Brandon, I really appreciate it! Personally, I feel like that trimming most of the raw footage and contextualizing it with my commentary makes for a more concise and, ultimately, better video. It seems like a lot of people dig the format, but you're right, it could be a good idea to upload the raw footage uncut at some point. Maybe on a separate channel once we've grown a bit more :)
5 hours is nothing I beat this game in 3 once
Very impressive!
@@Wilson-108 lol thanks for not making fun of my cringe comment lol good video will watch more.
