Actually, it's more useful than you think. It's just that gaming experience and familiriality with controls is required for that. When I played on Grounded,I let Tess deal with them. It takes a while and you may have to move between covers , but eventually it will work out since Tess has Infinite ammo.
Seeing someone learning to use both joysticks at the same time is one of the most relatable things for me because I'm friends with people who have never played any modern games.
I believe it. I was a console player (PS3), and I havent touched a controller in ages ever since i got into PC gaming. Recently, I was at a friend’s house and I decided to try out Warzone with the controller, and I felt so off with them joysticks 🤣
Yeah console controls get a bit confusing at first. It takes time to get used to it. I think she would have a better time playing on PC. It would be more intuitive since she's surly more familiar with using mouse and keyboard
As someone who's been playing consoles since he was 6 it becomes muscle memory but it's still never perfect just because of the limited precision you get from a 360° stick
Either that or play the last of us dlc I think it’s called left behind, a lot less Bad guys to fight and it’s short only 6 chapters I think. I know the story gets off a touch but that particular game starts out a little slower for someone new to the game
Thanks for watching our first gameplay video together! We're watching the series as well, so if you want to check out the videos early and watch the gameplay videos early, check out www.patreon.com/hthardman
ohh noo you play the new remake one, where they made Sarah look more ugly and Tess also looks more ugly and older. The environment looks good with the new remake but yeah they're really messed up Tess and Sarah. You should use with the PS 4 remake not this new remake .
Jen for someone who doesn't play games, you did INCREDIBLY well. The part where you did all those stealth kills was super impressive! The controls will take some getting used to. And honestly, after you sleep and your brain processes, you're going to come back and feel like you "get it" more and more. Great job!
@@HoldenHardman the game goes for hours and hours. You will get there because it makes you practice. And you seem to be a natural anyway! Great play through
Yea it’s easy to pick up, your doing just fine Jen don’t get discouraged even if you do suck just save often that way if you die you can start right back where you fucked up. My sister that never plays games was thinking about trying it out it’s mostly just scavenging around looking for items and trying to figure out which way to go next than it is shooting
I would prefer her to play the Resident Evil Remakes or 7 and 8, as well as Alan Wake... Those have the best balance of scares, story content and accessible Gameplay.
Me thinking Jen might have an issue being as brutal as Joel will need to be.... Jen seeing a group of non-hostiles "Can I shoot them? I've got enough bullets" 😆
Gaming on Controller tip for Jen: think of the left stick as you moving your body, and the right state as where you’re looking. so for example if you’re **moving forward**, you would move up on the left stick but if you want to turn left, you would move the right stick to **look to the left** but still go forward
Not only do I love you guys, and The Last of Us, but seeing someone so far removed from modern games is so interesting to see. Also: "Can I smother him?" - Jenn Love it.
I have never seen Jen so scared in any reaction compared to this🤣Something about the feeling that YOURE im control makes the fear worse😆Love that you guys are trying new stuff, great video🔥
Seeing you both play games together I hope catches on and becomes a real thing with the movies as well :) this was amazing to see your wife Jen fall in love with this after seeing the series start on HBO
Seeing Jen play video games is pretty great, the fact that its the Last of Us is just the cherry on top! I also definitely think you guys should just play through the game rather than wait for the whole show to come out. There's a different level to it when you're playing through it with the characters, rather than just watching it. and I also feel like playing it first will make you appreciate the show that much more when you watch it!
Aww poor Jen! Having to learn basic controls that have been engraved in our minds for years must be tough! I remember my first FPS game and not knowing how to use the two joysticks in the late 90s, it was definitely hard. Looking forward to seeing more from you two!
Ok… watching Jenn learn how to play this is adorable and I’m super proud of her she did really great! Major Kudos to Holden for being her Jedi Master to her Padawan. He provided a great balance of remaining patient and offering guidance when she either needed it or wanted it. I would love to see more of this!!!
Letting Jen try out a classic 3d platformer like Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie might be a fun option to help her get comfortable moving around in a 3d game without having as many controls to worry about. I know some people criticize the camera in those games, but the reality is that the camera still usually takes care of itself for the most part. So it should be simpler for Jen to get the hang of without having to worry about moving both joysticks at the same time like in a modern shooter.
Fun Fact: The voice actress for Ellie is Ashley Johnson who has a very small part in Avengers. She's the Redhead who Cap saves and has a little voice over saying that the Avengers, Cap in particular saved her life. She was also, way back in the 80's, on the sitcom, Growing Pains, where she played the youngest daughter. Also she played Mel Gibson's daughter in the movie What Women Want. At least I think that's the title??
Ashley Johnson is also a voice actress - hence this. She is a big part of Critical Role - with other voice actors - and is reprising her character "Pike" on the Amazon Prime series "The Legend of Vox Machina". That's a series based on that group's D&D series on Critical Role.
I almost never remember to like videos but I had to like this one. Jen's determination and bloodlust is so entertaining. I am praying that you guys keep this going and find it feasible to fit in along with your other content.
Please do more of this!!!! I would love to see Jen slowly but surely increase in confidence and learn the ropes of not just this game, but a controller overall and the implicit language of video games as a whole that so many of us take for granted. Stuff like "x" or "a" for 'enter' we never even think about anymore. Once she gets more comfortable, hopefully she can just fully immersive herself into Ellie and Joel.
I'm sorry, but this is great. Holden, you're living every guys dream and nightmare of teaching their significant other how to play a game. i'm just loving this and would love to see Jen play some more. Keep it up.🤣
It's cool you two are playing the game and also watching the series. As a fan of the game it's great comparing the game to the show. Especially since the show is a close adaptation with some liberties. Both are A+ to me.
When Jen killed the guy on the dock at 43:33, used listen mode to spot next enemy and stayed hidden behind cover while enemy investigates, followed him using her surroundings was very well played. Good job Jen!
You picked an excellent choice for a first time game! The myriad accessibility settings can be fine-tuned exactly the way you like. Jen's camera control is *exceptional* for a non-gamer. Most people walk into walls and stare at the sky 10x more than she does, especially with an unfamiliar controller. She fundamentally seems to understand the purpose of the thumbstick as an analogue device that's only meant to be pressed as far as you need to, which is why her turns are so smooth. However, in combat this somewhat goes out the window, and she either critically under or overcorrects while trying to keep everything else in mind. I think to start out you should cut her sensitivity in half. She is remembering to use the quickturn feature, so this shouldn't be too restrictive in case she gets flanked Her aiming problems are twofold: 1. She's fighting *against* the heavy auto aim system you have enabled. It only activates when you initially pull left trigger and is calculated on a per-target basis. Once one target is eliminated, it's disabled until you release and re-pull the left trigger. Same thing happens if you start aiming before a target is presented. No doubt she's carried over her instinct from BCT to keep her gun up when she's in danger to reduce the reaction time when a threat presents itself, so having to constantly go in and out of ADS to get the assists to work right would probably be very counterintuitive. I think one thing that's making this confusing is the UI. The reticle makes it look like her shot will be accurate to the center of the screen, but then sometimes the auto assist overrides this and confuses her reflexes, causing her to pull the perfect shot the game tries to hand her on a silver platter. You could try disabling the reticle and drilling in that she *must* wait to aim until the auto assist indicator pops up, but it would add one more of controller twister to a pretty complex control scheme. The indicator is also helping her detect well-camouflaged enemies in stealth without needing to remember to use focus... but she doesn't seem very interested in using stealth, which is why you might also consider just having her graduate from auto aim entirely. There will still be aim *slowdown* if you disable this, which is a different system that fights you a lot less 2: I think the weapon controls being placed on either side of the controller are causing the two different sides of her brain to cross-wire. She has to use the right hemisphere to ADS with the left trigger, and the left hemisphere to aim and shoot with the right stick and right trigger (yes, human neurology is horizontally inverted). Somewhere along the way this is getting mixed up and signals intended for the right thumb are getting sent to the left, causing her to accidentally step out of cover and expose herself. The PlayStation itself has a built in solution to this: You can customize every button on your controller. I think if you swap the left trigger and right bumper she'll have a much easier time keeping track since all the firearm controls will be on the right side of the controller, just like a real gun. If the problem persists you could even instruct her to take her hand off the left side of the controller entirely until she breaks the bad habit. The immersion of the different trigger pressures for different guns should theoretically remain intact since shoot is still bound to right trigger When you have someone grabbed you can do several things: You can move them anywhere you want, you can aim and shoot someone else while shielding yourself, you can knock them out, or you can pull *only* right trigger to execute them with the currently equipped pistol. Disable the "hostages can break free" setting to make these tricks easier. I can tell Jen shares my instinct to make sure everyone is dead, so if she's getting bored with the stealth she can try pulling some John Wick shit by sneaking up on one guy and using him to line up precise shots on everyone else. Throwables also majorly factor into this playstyle, but they're kind of complicated, so I'd rather come back to them when we start to encounter clickers You can't update the old game any farther, and you can't run the new one without a PS5. I still have the second version they released, TLOU Remastered You've got spam bots in the replies. Read usernames *carefully,* everyone
This is awesome to see. Not only are you opening the door to a whole branch of stories and experiences to react to by adding games to the roster, but also gaming as a couple can be such a fun bonding experience. Should definitely continue. Love the vids Holden and Jen👍
I just wanted to thank you both for being willing to go through this learning experience together. Like Jen, I grew up as a much more casual gamer and didn't start experimenting with controllers with double joysticks until I was basically an adult, and that was *difficult* for me. My brain and my hands could not grasp coordinating, and it was easy to get frustrated and panicked in situations where I felt like I could only keep failing. Learning and memorizing new mechanics and buttons takes time, and things that seem basic to those who are more familiar with games like this often need to be explained to people (like me, like Jen) who have little to no experience with them. Having someone who knows you and how your brain works can be so helpful when trying to learn something new like this, but patience and a willingness to listen to the source of frustrations/issues go a long way, too. I wouldn't be half as capable at games like this if I didn't have a partner willing to walk through them with me like the two of you are doing now. It's just really nice to see this sort of dynamic in gaming spaces. For what it's worth, I do feel like this game (and the series in general) does a good job of being consistent about giving you options re: approaching enemies. Whatever Jen's preference ends up being for how to handle them is ultimately up to her, but the option to go stealth is consistent enough that hopefully it helps with the learning curve? Because I remember how difficult I found it to not just remember what all the buttons were and what they did, but also to remember what my options were if things went south and I ended up panicked. Being able to start a situation stealth just as a tool to help learn/memorize those things was helpful for me. Not sure if that'll work for Jen but just tossing it out there in case! Excited to see if/when y'all continue this, and hope you both enjoy experiencing it (and the series adaptation) simultaneously. I don't think that's a perspective/experience I've come across yet, so I'm super interested to see how that unfolds.
I love this!!! It’s fun seeing someone without experience playing modern games, and as a young person who grew up playing a Super Nintendo, I had the same experience
I've been so excited for this. Its crazy how underrated video games are in form of story telling and the way you can connect with certain characters. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as i did
I've been a casual gamer all my life and I sometimes forget how actually difficult it is to play videogames, its almost like learning how to drive manual (stick shift) cars for the fist time, you have multiple controls to use at the same time while doing them correctly and precisely lol, but when you get used to it, which takes just a few hours (sometimes less) it's really enjoyable. She made a lot of progress in that hour or 2, well done and I hope you keep playing it and don't get discouraged, this is my favorite game of all time and it has soo many beautiful moments and amazing scenes in it, and it made a pretty big impact on my life. Love the channel btw, you guys are great.
This is SO goddamn relatable. I had pretty much the EXACT SAME experience with my father when I tried to play this with him (it means the world to me, so he wanted to share in that). For non-gamers, to receive so many instructions in a relatively short time span, besides just learning basic stuff like "looking around" and "moving", it can be overwhelming like you are back in your toddler years. And we in the backseats as professionals are just as much panicking to try and steer the beginners into the right direction and prevent disaster... It is as much laughable as it is painful!😅 Jen's scared shrieks are just gold! With games like this, were storytelling is so important, it might have been the better approach to let Holden play this, and Jen react to it. She has to learn so much that there is barely any time to absorb what is actually happening with the characters and the subtleties of world-building, which is the best part of the Last of Us. She should be playing a different third-person shooter or stealth game first to really get the hang of "playing", before trying this. On a final note: the conversation bubbles are NOT essential to move the game forward. They are OPTIONAL, but you should try to listen to them as much as you can, since they provide a lot of hidden context regarding the story and characters. To me, they are an integral part of the heart and soul of this game.
The squeals that Sarah makes once she's shot just always kill me. It's so real, so believable. The voice actress here just did such a phenomenal job. Jen, you did such a fantastic job just moving your characters around. I remember when I first got my PS4 (just so I could play this game) I had the WORST time making them go the directions I wanted them to. I had a really hard time getting the buttons right and I didn't have anyone with experience to help me, unfortunately. But you did great, and Holden didn't have to help you all that much, really. Annie Wersching was the face model and voice for Tess in the game. Unfortunately, Annie passed away from cancer on the same day that the HBO show's episode 3, "Long, Long Time" aired. She was in a lot of shows, most recently Star Trek: Picard. But I remember her most from 24 with Keifer Sutherland. She was an incredible actress as well as a wife and mother of 3 children.
Ok, so I've been waiting for myself to have the time to sit and watch this. I'm only to the point of Jen starting the game and I'm hooked. I truly hope you continue this series. I know it's going to be so fun!
Awesome that you guys are watching the show then playing the game! Curious to see your reactions to changes they made from what worked for the game but wouldn't translate well to the show. It's been years since I played... so excited to go through that again watching these. Keep them coming!
I love watching people who have hardly ever or never played games, start to play and learn the ropes. It’s funny how there are things you just know from gaming for so long and muscle memory for little things, like Holden said those things we take for granted because they just come so naturally to people who continuously played games throughout their life. Like the joy sticks, I never realized it would be difficult or jarring to move both at the same time. I’m looking forward to the point she gets to where she doesn’t have to look at the controller and gets smoother with the controls. She’s doing really good already though, much better than some I’ve tried to teach.
Well this is something fresh and I must say I really do enjoy this playthrough. Thank you for doing this as I never actually played the game and also never watched a playthrough, so watching u guys as the first playthrough is kinda great experience to have together with Jen trying to figure things out.
Would love to see more My Wife Plays. If Jen likes this. Part 2 is great as well. Although it’ll probably spoil season 2 of the show. I think Jen would love Spider-Man PS4 and you’ve got the Hogwarts game coming out this month too.
This was awesome to watch, I hope Jen continues to enjoy playing As well. If she does, they’ll have so many games/series to get through. Keep it up Jen, you’re doing well, it will become muscle memory so you won’t have to keep trying to work out the buttons. 👍👍
And where do you get that information from? It was confirmed that season 2 of the show will follow part 2. I think they should watch each episode and play the corrisponding section of the game.
@@ethany.2981 Craig said pt 2 is MINIMUM 2 seasons. Production delays are also common post Covid, or it could just take longer to adapt for tv. Also no idea if the show will be in the same chronological order w all the flashbacks/shared days.
Since season 1 is the entire first game, seasons 2 and 3 will be all of the second game plus leftovers like the dlc for the first game. Max of 3 seasons total. This depends on how long they film and edit but if it's annual then it'll only be 2 years for season 3.
@@Vendrix86 episode 7 is “Left Behind”. Just no guarantee that season 2 will be a year from now, it’s a massive production and adapting pt 1 is probably much more straightforward than pt2.
You’re doing great. I played this game early in my gaming career. It wasn’t the first game I played,but the second. And I remember struggling with remembering what buttons and levers did what, and I had to keep looking at the buttons on the right to remember the arrangement . Eventually the memory will be in your hands, and you won’t have to think about it. This game is really good at teaching you one mechanic at a time as you play.
My 3 game recommendations are (if you want to hear them) God of War 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Jedi Fallen Order. Love that you guys are playing video games now! I also think Holden would love the ps4 Spider-Man game!
So glad to see this! The Last of Us has been one of my favourite games of all time since it’s release almost 10 years ago, excited for you both to experience this masterpiece!
Would STRONGLY recommend you guys play "It Takes Two" together if you haven't already played it! Best co-op story game ever made in my opinion. It's fantastic!
Jen wondering out loud if Gerard Butler would be the good actor to play Joel and now I can't unsee imagining Gerard Butler playing him. I love Pedro as an actor and love what he is doing with the role, but man, this could have been an epic casting.
Great entry. I think Jen just need to remember R is her eyes (camera) and L is her body. You want to look where you’re moving and not run out of cover when you’re shooting. And Holden, you are an ambassador to nerds everywhere
Oh wow I REALLLY enjoyed this. I look forward to her thoughts on video game Ellie! (I like video game Ellie more than tv show Ellie probably because the video game version is a bit “softer” and not as abrasive as the tv version, and I’m more used to the video game Ellie)
"Just have fun, it's supposed to be fun", makes Jen play the prologue 🤣❤❤ such an amazing game, people should really play it before watching the tv show
Nice, can’t wait to see it! If you want to introduce Jen to (arguably) the best trilogy of Star Wars, have her play KOTOR I and II and then maybe SWTOR. It’ll be a blast for sure!
@@Rorujin I heard it was cancelled/delayed indefinitely. Meaning they are not working on it right now. And it takes YEARS to make a game. So even if they announce that they started working on it again lets say in a year or two from now, you still gonna have to wait another 4-7 years before its released
Love this. You always continue to surprise me (in a good way) with your choice of uploads and different directions you're taking the channel. Keep up the good work.
as an avid gamer sometimes u forget we were all noobs once. jen is actually doing quite well given she doesn't have much time to practice on the controller. she'll be pretty good in no time at this rate. the show will out pace the game unless u put in huge hours each day 👍
I’d say: This experiment is so many things. First of all, very entertaining. You did a great job, Jen. It reminded me of me, when I struggled with the camera myself. It was a struggle at first but once it clicked, games became much more fun. Thanks for sharing this first and raw experience with us. I am here for it. The Last of Us is a great game. Don’t worry about the controls. You will get there. I am very much interested in your opinion/comparison (tv show/game). I will watch both.
Another good tip for Jen. When you are not sure about which way to go look for active light sources like lamps or hidden lights creating lit paths on the ground. It's like that in most games like these.
It makes me so happy to see you guys plays this game! TLOU is honestly one of the best story telling games, movies, etc., ever! I hope you two truly enjoy playing this masterpiece and cant wait to see you finish it (I hope y'all do)!
That was fun! Who knew Jen could scream so loud lol, she's usually calm and collected even during scary movie reactions. Can't wait for the next playthrough!
Loved this video! It was hilarious to watch Jen figure out how everything works. Punching the air because she is not sure the person is dead, and pressing circle 15 times and then wonder why she won't crounch and press square as many times as possible when doing a stealth kill😂. As a gamer you don't really realise that it can be difficult to figure out what everything does and to controle multiple buttons at the same time. You did really well Jen and I am happy to see that you enjoyed it. Can't wait for part 2!😄
This takes me back to when my wife first started playing video games with me, she had played a little bit but not much. Now she wrecks in cod and we play video games all the time. Regardless if the game is singled player or it’s multiplayer or co-op it’s probably our favorite thing to do together. You two have to play It Takes Two!
if I were Jenn, I would play through the game before watching the show.. the show is so far so awesome, but nothing beats the immersion and emotional depths reached by playing the game.. .lol, Jenn, "how can video games be scary?" .. tough girl eh.. y'all should play one of my favorite "scary" games that is totally underrated is Soma, which if you're not familiar, has the same "walking-sim" Outlast style gameplay, where combat encounters are stealth only (you can turn off dying in the settings though so you can just play through the story unimpeded) .. but anyhow, Soma is one of the best science fiction stories I've ever seen/played ..
Watching a non gamer giving games a shot is very endearing to us, it may seem stressful remembering what to press and how to aim but it comes natural over time. Props to holden for being a good guide for Jen!
This is an awesome idea! Opens up so many new options for the channel and introduces Jen to an entirely different medium. Can’t wait to see more! Also inevitably someone is going to complain about skill or missing items. Just ignore them games are meant to be fun not a chore 👍
This was a lot of fun to watch please keep doing this series and don't worry Jen it can be overwhelming at first for new gamers but after a few hours all those buttons will become like muscle memory
I did not expect to like this, but i really did. impressive gameplay for someone new to gaming Jen. Keep at it and enjoy yourself, there are some truly impressive stories in some games that unfortunately never make it to the big screen (at least not in a way it does them justice.)
I find it hilarious and interesting how games like this brings out the savage survivor in us all. Watching you guys gameplay was a real treat. Great job Jen. Hope to see more. ❤️❤️❤️
This video was the BEST! I played The Last Of Us for the first time a bit over a year ago, and even though I knew (Don’t worry I won’t spoil anything for you two) and the ending, and pretty much the entire story before even playing it, it is still my favorite game ever! I wanted to see you and Jen play this game a long time ago but never knew if you would try it, turns out you did, and this was an amazing first reaction! I love how hood Jen is at playing a game for the first time in years, and how good Holden was at teaching her how to play! Most people just sit back and watch the noobies struggle 😅😅

LOLOLL
Jen figuring out how useless the AI can be sometimes was hilarious
And than the rare moment when the AI does something clutch when your out of ammo and med kits
Actually, it's more useful than you think.
It's just that gaming experience and familiriality with controls is required for that.
When I played on Grounded,I let Tess deal with them.
It takes a while and you may have to move between covers , but eventually it will work out since Tess has Infinite ammo.
Very happy to see Jen experiment with video games! Thank you for trying new things for the community to enjoy
RIP Annie Wersching aka Tess voice actress. Loved watching yall play this especially with being able to compare it to the show, keep playing!
Not just voice... She did the motion capture, so Tess is all her.
She did the motion capture as well
RIP. I was so shocked when I heard. 😢
Seeing someone learning to use both joysticks at the same time is one of the most relatable things for me because I'm friends with people who have never played any modern games.
I believe it. I was a console player (PS3), and I havent touched a controller in ages ever since i got into PC gaming. Recently, I was at a friend’s house and I decided to try out Warzone with the controller, and I felt so off with them joysticks 🤣
Yeah console controls get a bit confusing at first. It takes time to get used to it. I think she would have a better time playing on PC. It would be more intuitive since she's surly more familiar with using mouse and keyboard
The way i tend to explain it to people who arnt used to it is - Left one moves your legs, right one moves your head
I remember the first time I played a game with joysticks. It was 1998 in a store playing Banjo-Kazooie.
As someone who's been playing consoles since he was 6 it becomes muscle memory but it's still never perfect just because of the limited precision you get from a 360° stick
You guys should play It Takes Two. It's more of a couples game and I think it's more her speed. Plus the story is excellent and very fun to play.
Yes! And Jen Will probably have an easier time because it's a platformer.
Can vouch for this. Played It Takes Two with my partner who never really games and it was heaps of fun working through that learning curve with her
Absolutely agree. Best co-op story game ever made IMO. A must-play!
Well, I think they're playing this because the show is out right now. It's a hot topic for a hot topic.
Either that or play the last of us dlc I think it’s called left behind, a lot less Bad guys to fight and it’s short only 6 chapters I think. I know the story gets off a touch but that particular game starts out a little slower for someone new to the game
Thanks for watching our first gameplay video together! We're watching the series as well, so if you want to check out the videos early and watch the gameplay videos early, check out www.patreon.com/hthardman
ohh noo you play the new remake one, where they made Sarah look more ugly and Tess also looks more ugly and older.
The environment looks good with the new remake but yeah they're really messed up Tess and Sarah.
You should use with the PS 4 remake not this new remake .
@@tanelviil9149 you people get so weird about how attractive children are
@@chand911 agreed that's a weird take for playing a worse looking game lol plus both ppl are barely in the game lol
Using both sticks is difficult to get used to but you get used to it pretty quick
@@tanelviil9149 God this can't sound good any way you put it. Stop wanting attractive kids in games
Jen for someone who doesn't play games, you did INCREDIBLY well. The part where you did all those stealth kills was super impressive! The controls will take some getting used to. And honestly, after you sleep and your brain processes, you're going to come back and feel like you "get it" more and more. Great job!
Ugh, thank you so much for the support! That’s so awesome of you. Hopefully I’ll get there. ❤️ - Jen
@@HoldenHardman the game goes for hours and hours. You will get there because it makes you practice. And you seem to be a natural anyway! Great play through
Muscle memory will kick in and once she masters that she’ll play any game
Yea it’s easy to pick up, your doing just fine Jen don’t get discouraged even if you do suck just save often that way if you die you can start right back where you fucked up. My sister that never plays games was thinking about trying it out it’s mostly just scavenging around looking for items and trying to figure out which way to go next than it is shooting
Jen punching the air just to make sure she got the kill gets me everytime😂😭
Jen- "How can video games be scary?"
Ohhh boy. Famous last words.
Is it too late to play Slender again? 😅
Now I dare her to play Outlast
@@diegopansini3152 dare her to play Alien Isolation
I would prefer her to play the Resident Evil Remakes or 7 and 8, as well as Alan Wake... Those have the best balance of scares, story content and accessible Gameplay.
if that's scary LOL oh boy , Outlast will give her infarct
P.T. says hello
Watching your reactions were priceless, hopefully you guys choose to keep playing, super looking forward to seeing more
Yes!! One of my favorite games of all time! I would absolutely love to see you play through it all and other story driven games.
Me thinking Jen might have an issue being as brutal as Joel will need to be....
Jen seeing a group of non-hostiles "Can I shoot them? I've got enough bullets" 😆
Gaming on Controller tip for Jen: think of the left stick as you moving your body, and the right state as where you’re looking.
so for example if you’re **moving forward**, you would move up on the left stick but if you want to turn left, you would move the right stick to **look to the left** but still go forward
So great to see Holden's patience. I would definitely not be able to have such restrain
Lol. Holden def had that “look” like you wanna just do it to show her. Reminds me of my son showing his Nana how to play Fortnite. Lol. Good times.
I would absolutely love you guys to continue this sort of thing all your content is so engaging and I'm so happy to watch anything you guys release.
Not only do I love you guys, and The Last of Us, but seeing someone so far removed from modern games is so interesting to see.
Also:
"Can I smother him?" - Jenn
Love it.
25:12 those don’t actually move the story forward, they’re just optional conversations that you can have with characters
I have never seen Jen so scared in any reaction compared to this🤣Something about the feeling that YOURE im control makes the fear worse😆Love that you guys are trying new stuff, great video🔥
“He’s with Jesus, next guy” 😂😂😂
"Jesus called him home"
Theres a lot of jesus in the ground 😂
“X being enter, and circle is back.” I still hit triangle to try to go back sometimes.
Please continue this. This is lovely and a lot of fun. Would love to see Jen progress and get better. Thank you!
Seeing you both play games together I hope catches on and becomes a real thing with the movies as well :) this was amazing to see your wife Jen fall in love with this after seeing the series start on HBO
Seeing Jen play video games is pretty great, the fact that its the Last of Us is just the cherry on top!
I also definitely think you guys should just play through the game rather than wait for the whole show to come out. There's a different level to it when you're playing through it with the characters, rather than just watching it.
and I also feel like playing it first will make you appreciate the show that much more when you watch it!
46:45 "Can I smother him?!" I laughed so hard when she said that!!!
Jesus Christ Jen!!!!! Beast!!!!
Aww poor Jen! Having to learn basic controls that have been engraved in our minds for years must be tough! I remember my first FPS game and not knowing how to use the two joysticks in the late 90s, it was definitely hard. Looking forward to seeing more from you two!
I love this! I also like that you guys are watching the show too.
Ok… watching Jenn learn how to play this is adorable and I’m super proud of her she did really great! Major Kudos to Holden for being her Jedi Master to her Padawan. He provided a great balance of remaining patient and offering guidance when she either needed it or wanted it.
I would love to see more of this!!!
This was great to watch and Jen is hilarious throughout ... then the zoom in 🤣
Letting Jen try out a classic 3d platformer like Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie might be a fun option to help her get comfortable moving around in a 3d game without having as many controls to worry about. I know some people criticize the camera in those games, but the reality is that the camera still usually takes care of itself for the most part. So it should be simpler for Jen to get the hang of without having to worry about moving both joysticks at the same time like in a modern shooter.
Fun Fact: The voice actress for Ellie is Ashley Johnson who has a very small part in Avengers. She's the Redhead who Cap saves and has a little voice over saying that the Avengers, Cap in particular saved her life. She was also, way back in the 80's, on the sitcom, Growing Pains, where she played the youngest daughter. Also she played Mel Gibson's daughter in the movie What Women Want. At least I think that's the title??
Ashley Johnson is also a voice actress - hence this. She is a big part of Critical Role - with other voice actors - and is reprising her character "Pike" on the Amazon Prime series "The Legend of Vox Machina".
That's a series based on that group's D&D series on Critical Role.
I almost never remember to like videos but I had to like this one. Jen's determination and bloodlust is so entertaining. I am praying that you guys keep this going and find it feasible to fit in along with your other content.
Jens facial expressions during this video while playing are the best! 😂
Please do more of this!!!! I would love to see Jen slowly but surely increase in confidence and learn the ropes of not just this game, but a controller overall and the implicit language of video games as a whole that so many of us take for granted. Stuff like "x" or "a" for 'enter' we never even think about anymore. Once she gets more comfortable, hopefully she can just fully immersive herself into Ellie and Joel.
16:42 left me in stitches, especially at Jen’s scream 🤣
I'm sorry, but this is great. Holden, you're living every guys dream and nightmare of teaching their significant other how to play a game. i'm just loving this and would love to see Jen play some more. Keep it up.🤣
It's cool you two are playing the game and also watching the series. As a fan of the game it's great comparing the game to the show. Especially since the show is a close adaptation with some liberties. Both are A+ to me.
When Jen killed the guy on the dock at 43:33, used listen mode to spot next enemy and stayed hidden behind cover while enemy investigates, followed him using her surroundings was very well played. Good job Jen!
You picked an excellent choice for a first time game! The myriad accessibility settings can be fine-tuned exactly the way you like. Jen's camera control is *exceptional* for a non-gamer. Most people walk into walls and stare at the sky 10x more than she does, especially with an unfamiliar controller. She fundamentally seems to understand the purpose of the thumbstick as an analogue device that's only meant to be pressed as far as you need to, which is why her turns are so smooth. However, in combat this somewhat goes out the window, and she either critically under or overcorrects while trying to keep everything else in mind. I think to start out you should cut her sensitivity in half. She is remembering to use the quickturn feature, so this shouldn't be too restrictive in case she gets flanked
Her aiming problems are twofold:
1. She's fighting *against* the heavy auto aim system you have enabled. It only activates when you initially pull left trigger and is calculated on a per-target basis. Once one target is eliminated, it's disabled until you release and re-pull the left trigger. Same thing happens if you start aiming before a target is presented. No doubt she's carried over her instinct from BCT to keep her gun up when she's in danger to reduce the reaction time when a threat presents itself, so having to constantly go in and out of ADS to get the assists to work right would probably be very counterintuitive. I think one thing that's making this confusing is the UI. The reticle makes it look like her shot will be accurate to the center of the screen, but then sometimes the auto assist overrides this and confuses her reflexes, causing her to pull the perfect shot the game tries to hand her on a silver platter. You could try disabling the reticle and drilling in that she *must* wait to aim until the auto assist indicator pops up, but it would add one more of controller twister to a pretty complex control scheme. The indicator is also helping her detect well-camouflaged enemies in stealth without needing to remember to use focus... but she doesn't seem very interested in using stealth, which is why you might also consider just having her graduate from auto aim entirely. There will still be aim *slowdown* if you disable this, which is a different system that fights you a lot less
2: I think the weapon controls being placed on either side of the controller are causing the two different sides of her brain to cross-wire. She has to use the right hemisphere to ADS with the left trigger, and the left hemisphere to aim and shoot with the right stick and right trigger (yes, human neurology is horizontally inverted). Somewhere along the way this is getting mixed up and signals intended for the right thumb are getting sent to the left, causing her to accidentally step out of cover and expose herself. The PlayStation itself has a built in solution to this: You can customize every button on your controller. I think if you swap the left trigger and right bumper she'll have a much easier time keeping track since all the firearm controls will be on the right side of the controller, just like a real gun. If the problem persists you could even instruct her to take her hand off the left side of the controller entirely until she breaks the bad habit. The immersion of the different trigger pressures for different guns should theoretically remain intact since shoot is still bound to right trigger
When you have someone grabbed you can do several things: You can move them anywhere you want, you can aim and shoot someone else while shielding yourself, you can knock them out, or you can pull *only* right trigger to execute them with the currently equipped pistol. Disable the "hostages can break free" setting to make these tricks easier. I can tell Jen shares my instinct to make sure everyone is dead, so if she's getting bored with the stealth she can try pulling some John Wick shit by sneaking up on one guy and using him to line up precise shots on everyone else. Throwables also majorly factor into this playstyle, but they're kind of complicated, so I'd rather come back to them when we start to encounter clickers
You can't update the old game any farther, and you can't run the new one without a PS5. I still have the second version they released, TLOU Remastered
You've got spam bots in the replies. Read usernames *carefully,* everyone
This is awesome to see. Not only are you opening the door to a whole branch of stories and experiences to react to by adding games to the roster, but also gaming as a couple can be such a fun bonding experience. Should definitely continue. Love the vids Holden and Jen👍
I love you guys' dynamic so much 🤣🤣; 5:37 Holden knew exactly what he was doing loool
There’s something so wholesome about someone learning to use a new gaming system
Really happy to see some gaming on this channel 😀 and Jen is doing really good learning the controls for her first time with this kind of game 😄
I just wanted to thank you both for being willing to go through this learning experience together. Like Jen, I grew up as a much more casual gamer and didn't start experimenting with controllers with double joysticks until I was basically an adult, and that was *difficult* for me. My brain and my hands could not grasp coordinating, and it was easy to get frustrated and panicked in situations where I felt like I could only keep failing. Learning and memorizing new mechanics and buttons takes time, and things that seem basic to those who are more familiar with games like this often need to be explained to people (like me, like Jen) who have little to no experience with them. Having someone who knows you and how your brain works can be so helpful when trying to learn something new like this, but patience and a willingness to listen to the source of frustrations/issues go a long way, too. I wouldn't be half as capable at games like this if I didn't have a partner willing to walk through them with me like the two of you are doing now. It's just really nice to see this sort of dynamic in gaming spaces.
For what it's worth, I do feel like this game (and the series in general) does a good job of being consistent about giving you options re: approaching enemies. Whatever Jen's preference ends up being for how to handle them is ultimately up to her, but the option to go stealth is consistent enough that hopefully it helps with the learning curve? Because I remember how difficult I found it to not just remember what all the buttons were and what they did, but also to remember what my options were if things went south and I ended up panicked. Being able to start a situation stealth just as a tool to help learn/memorize those things was helpful for me. Not sure if that'll work for Jen but just tossing it out there in case!
Excited to see if/when y'all continue this, and hope you both enjoy experiencing it (and the series adaptation) simultaneously. I don't think that's a perspective/experience I've come across yet, so I'm super interested to see how that unfolds.
I love this!!! It’s fun seeing someone without experience playing modern games, and as a young person who grew up playing a Super Nintendo, I had the same experience
Holdens comments are amazing!! “He’s dead…. He’s with Jesus, next guys “ 😂😂😂
I've been so excited for this. Its crazy how underrated video games are in form of story telling and the way you can connect with certain characters. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as i did
I've been a casual gamer all my life and I sometimes forget how actually difficult it is to play videogames, its almost like learning how to drive manual (stick shift) cars for the fist time, you have multiple controls to use at the same time while doing them correctly and precisely lol, but when you get used to it, which takes just a few hours (sometimes less) it's really enjoyable. She made a lot of progress in that hour or 2, well done and I hope you keep playing it and don't get discouraged, this is my favorite game of all time and it has soo many beautiful moments and amazing scenes in it, and it made a pretty big impact on my life. Love the channel btw, you guys are great.
This is SO goddamn relatable. I had pretty much the EXACT SAME experience with my father when I tried to play this with him (it means the world to me, so he wanted to share in that). For non-gamers, to receive so many instructions in a relatively short time span, besides just learning basic stuff like "looking around" and "moving", it can be overwhelming like you are back in your toddler years. And we in the backseats as professionals are just as much panicking to try and steer the beginners into the right direction and prevent disaster... It is as much laughable as it is painful!😅 Jen's scared shrieks are just gold!
With games like this, were storytelling is so important, it might have been the better approach to let Holden play this, and Jen react to it. She has to learn so much that there is barely any time to absorb what is actually happening with the characters and the subtleties of world-building, which is the best part of the Last of Us. She should be playing a different third-person shooter or stealth game first to really get the hang of "playing", before trying this.
On a final note: the conversation bubbles are NOT essential to move the game forward. They are OPTIONAL, but you should try to listen to them as much as you can, since they provide a lot of hidden context regarding the story and characters. To me, they are an integral part of the heart and soul of this game.
Honestly, I was entertained with not only the game story, but also Jen figuring out the controls. I hope there’s more of these videos in the future
The squeals that Sarah makes once she's shot just always kill me. It's so real, so believable. The voice actress here just did such a phenomenal job. Jen, you did such a fantastic job just moving your characters around. I remember when I first got my PS4 (just so I could play this game) I had the WORST time making them go the directions I wanted them to. I had a really hard time getting the buttons right and I didn't have anyone with experience to help me, unfortunately. But you did great, and Holden didn't have to help you all that much, really.
Annie Wersching was the face model and voice for Tess in the game. Unfortunately, Annie passed away from cancer on the same day that the HBO show's episode 3, "Long, Long Time" aired. She was in a lot of shows, most recently Star Trek: Picard. But I remember her most from 24 with Keifer Sutherland. She was an incredible actress as well as a wife and mother of 3 children.
Ok, so I've been waiting for myself to have the time to sit and watch this. I'm only to the point of Jen starting the game and I'm hooked. I truly hope you continue this series. I know it's going to be so fun!
Awesome that you guys are watching the show then playing the game! Curious to see your reactions to changes they made from what worked for the game but wouldn't translate well to the show. It's been years since I played... so excited to go through that again watching these. Keep them coming!
I love watching people who have hardly ever or never played games, start to play and learn the ropes. It’s funny how there are things you just know from gaming for so long and muscle memory for little things, like Holden said those things we take for granted because they just come so naturally to people who continuously played games throughout their life. Like the joy sticks, I never realized it would be difficult or jarring to move both at the same time. I’m looking forward to the point she gets to where she doesn’t have to look at the controller and gets smoother with the controls. She’s doing really good already though, much better than some I’ve tried to teach.
So excited hope this will be an on going series! Hope you enjoy it
Hope you guys play the whole game. Fun to watch her experience a game like this for the first time.
This makes me so happy to see! I really hope both of you enjoy this masterpiece of a game!
Well this is something fresh and I must say I really do enjoy this playthrough. Thank you for doing this as I never actually played the game and also never watched a playthrough, so watching u guys as the first playthrough is kinda great experience to have together with Jen trying to figure things out.
Would love to see more My Wife Plays. If Jen likes this. Part 2 is great as well. Although it’ll probably spoil season 2 of the show. I think Jen would love Spider-Man PS4 and you’ve got the Hogwarts game coming out this month too.
I already told Holden on Patreon, but I would kill if they did a Final Fantasy. And since there's a strong rumor of an FFIX Remake coming soon...
This was awesome to watch, I hope Jen continues to enjoy playing As well. If she does, they’ll have so many games/series to get through. Keep it up Jen, you’re doing well, it will become muscle memory so you won’t have to keep trying to work out the buttons. 👍👍
So wholesome your a great teacher Holden very patient 💯and hang in there Jen you will get used to it 🍿
“It’s the same A**hole” 😂😂😂 this was great to watch
20 mins in, this is so entertaining 😂.
This is the most entertaining video of this game I’ve ever seen I definitely want to see more keep up the good work 😂❤
It will be minimum 3-4 years for the show to catch up to pt2 end, so definitely keep playing!
And where do you get that information from? It was confirmed that season 2 of the show will follow part 2. I think they should watch each episode and play the corrisponding section of the game.
@@ethany.2981 Craig said pt 2 is MINIMUM 2 seasons. Production delays are also common post Covid, or it could just take longer to adapt for tv. Also no idea if the show will be in the same chronological order w all the flashbacks/shared days.
Since season 1 is the entire first game, seasons 2 and 3 will be all of the second game plus leftovers like the dlc for the first game. Max of 3 seasons total. This depends on how long they film and edit but if it's annual then it'll only be 2 years for season 3.
@@Vendrix86 episode 7 is “Left Behind”. Just no guarantee that season 2 will be a year from now, it’s a massive production and adapting pt 1 is probably much more straightforward than pt2.
@@ericdevito1105 yeah they filmed for a year and then half a year for edits afterwards. So probably minimum 3-4 years
You’re doing great. I played this game early in my gaming career. It wasn’t the first game I played,but the second. And I remember struggling with remembering what buttons and levers did what, and I had to keep looking at the buttons on the right to remember the arrangement . Eventually the memory will be in your hands, and you won’t have to think about it. This game is really good at teaching you one mechanic at a time as you play.
Jenn previously> " I love all creatures!"
Jenn now> "I have enough ammo to shoot them all"
lol
My 3 game recommendations are (if you want to hear them) God of War 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Jedi Fallen Order. Love that you guys are playing video games now! I also think Holden would love the ps4 Spider-Man game!
Man he has the patience of a saint 😂
True😭🤣but to be fair this is a wild first game to learn game movement so she did pretty good💀
@@eclipped yeh, if I'm a non-gamer and wanted to get into gaming, I would not play a horror zombie action game as a starter
So glad to see this! The Last of Us has been one of my favourite games of all time since it’s release almost 10 years ago, excited for you both to experience this masterpiece!
Would STRONGLY recommend you guys play "It Takes Two" together if you haven't already played it! Best co-op story game ever made in my opinion. It's fantastic!
Jen wondering out loud if Gerard Butler would be the good actor to play Joel and now I can't unsee imagining Gerard Butler playing him. I love Pedro as an actor and love what he is doing with the role, but man, this could have been an epic casting.
This is where the fun REALLY begins
Yes indeed
Great entry. I think Jen just need to remember R is her eyes (camera) and L is her body. You want to look where you’re moving and not run out of cover when you’re shooting. And Holden, you are an ambassador to nerds everywhere
Oh wow I REALLLY enjoyed this. I look forward to her thoughts on video game Ellie!
(I like video game Ellie more than tv show Ellie probably because the video game version is a bit “softer” and not as abrasive as the tv version, and I’m more used to the video game Ellie)
"Just have fun, it's supposed to be fun", makes Jen play the prologue 🤣❤❤ such an amazing game, people should really play it before watching the tv show
This is honestly an amazing game
Great job, Jen! You totally got in the zone leading up to catching Robert. Well done.
Nice, can’t wait to see it! If you want to introduce Jen to (arguably) the best trilogy of Star Wars, have her play KOTOR I and II and then maybe SWTOR. It’ll be a blast for sure!
They announced a Remake, so...
@@Rorujin They canceled it, so... we gonna have to wait a looong time if it even comes out
@@Pir-o Was it really cancelled? I thought it was just delayed...
@@Rorujin I heard it was cancelled/delayed indefinitely. Meaning they are not working on it right now. And it takes YEARS to make a game.
So even if they announce that they started working on it again lets say in a year or two from now, you still gonna have to wait another 4-7 years before its released
Love this. You always continue to surprise me (in a good way) with your choice of uploads and different directions you're taking the channel. Keep up the good work.
as an avid gamer sometimes u forget we were all noobs once. jen is actually doing quite well given she doesn't have much time to practice on the controller. she'll be pretty good in no time at this rate.
the show will out pace the game unless u put in huge hours each day 👍
I’d say: This experiment is so many things. First of all, very entertaining. You did a great job, Jen. It reminded me of me, when I struggled with the camera myself. It was a struggle at first but once it clicked, games became much more fun. Thanks for sharing this first and raw experience with us. I am here for it. The Last of Us is a great game.
Don’t worry about the controls. You will get there.
I am very much interested in your opinion/comparison (tv show/game). I will watch both.
Great start. I really recommend 'It Takes Two' when she's more familiar with holding a controller - it's a great couples games.
Another good tip for Jen. When you are not sure about which way to go look for active light sources like lamps or hidden lights creating lit paths on the ground. It's like that in most games like these.
It makes me so happy to see you guys plays this game! TLOU is honestly one of the best story telling games, movies, etc., ever! I hope you two truly enjoy playing this masterpiece and cant wait to see you finish it (I hope y'all do)!
That was fun! Who knew Jen could scream so loud lol, she's usually calm and collected even during scary movie reactions. Can't wait for the next playthrough!
See her raise the controller to start button mashing is hilarious.😂
Love this. A perspective from someone that is not too experienced in these type of games. looking forward to the next vids. Love u guys!!
Loved this video! It was hilarious to watch Jen figure out how everything works. Punching the air because she is not sure the person is dead, and pressing circle 15 times and then wonder why she won't crounch and press square as many times as possible when doing a stealth kill😂. As a gamer you don't really realise that it can be difficult to figure out what everything does and to controle multiple buttons at the same time.
You did really well Jen and I am happy to see that you enjoyed it. Can't wait for part 2!😄
This takes me back to when my wife first started playing video games with me, she had played a little bit but not much. Now she wrecks in cod and we play video games all the time. Regardless if the game is singled player or it’s multiplayer or co-op it’s probably our favorite thing to do together. You two have to play It Takes Two!
if I were Jenn, I would play through the game before watching the show.. the show is so far so awesome, but nothing beats the immersion and emotional depths reached by playing the game.. .lol, Jenn, "how can video games be scary?" .. tough girl eh.. y'all should play one of my favorite "scary" games that is totally underrated is Soma, which if you're not familiar, has the same "walking-sim" Outlast style gameplay, where combat encounters are stealth only (you can turn off dying in the settings though so you can just play through the story unimpeded) .. but anyhow, Soma is one of the best science fiction stories I've ever seen/played ..
Watching a non gamer giving games a shot is very endearing to us, it may seem stressful remembering what to press and how to aim but it comes natural over time. Props to holden for being a good guide for Jen!
This is an awesome idea! Opens up so many new options for the channel and introduces Jen to an entirely different medium. Can’t wait to see more!
Also inevitably someone is going to complain about skill or missing items. Just ignore them games are meant to be fun not a chore 👍
This was a lot of fun to watch please keep doing this series and don't worry Jen it can be overwhelming at first for new gamers but after a few hours all those buttons will become like muscle memory
I did not expect to like this, but i really did. impressive gameplay for someone new to gaming Jen. Keep at it and enjoy yourself, there are some truly impressive stories in some games that unfortunately never make it to the big screen (at least not in a way it does them justice.)
I find it hilarious and interesting how games like this brings out the savage survivor in us all. Watching you guys gameplay was a real treat. Great job Jen. Hope to see more. ❤️❤️❤️
the military really drilled double tap into Jen
For someone who never used a controller before, I'm really impressed ! Keep going Jen, you're killing it !
Jen Killed this!! Would 100% watch lets plays in the future with the both of you going through it together!
This video was the BEST! I played The Last Of Us for the first time a bit over a year ago, and even though I knew (Don’t worry I won’t spoil anything for you two) and the ending, and pretty much the entire story before even playing it, it is still my favorite game ever! I wanted to see you and Jen play this game a long time ago but never knew if you would try it, turns out you did, and this was an amazing first reaction! I love how hood Jen is at playing a game for the first time in years, and how good Holden was at teaching her how to play! Most people just sit back and watch the noobies struggle 😅😅
