@@Bawamba xqc is quite a riot, doesn't give two fucks about anything. He tends to go from absolute big brain, to literal wallnut in the span of seconds
yo rainbolt. never have i seen a decently large creator just openly praising other creators’ abilities on a game they’re good at even when they aren’t doing everything right. this open attitude is extremely encouraging for younger/less-experienced audience members and it is SO REFRESHING AND ADMIRABLE. much love brother! props!
@@asharsinha SKYLAR I AM NOT IN DANGER, I AM THE DANGER. A GUY OPENS HIS DOOR AND GETS SHOT AND YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE ME. NO, I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS.
For the tutorial round in Aus - It's supposed to be a round about moving. From where you start you can either go the direction speed went and see a sign (at ~01:38) which has "Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens". Alternatively, If you turn around and move 1-2 times you can see the Sydney Opera House.
After basically mastering Famous Places, it's so weird seeing streamers, even Rainbolt struggling to guess a location because there are like 200 or 300 monuments and famous places from different angles et.c. and if you play for a whole fricking quarantine like I did, it's like Rainbolt's country guessing. An image for 0.1sec is enough to 5k it.
That's nice! Just my two cents though, if you spend your time on better things (not preaching haha), you'd get that kind of achievement where it matters! I love gaming, but I left it for 2 years or so, developed my programming skills, and now I have a decently high-paying job. So, just saying, you know spending time on something is going to make you better in it. So why not do it on something more productive?
@@jashanarora17 Bro he literally mentioned it was during quarantine.. who tf was focusing on being that productive during lockdown? Besides the point tho tbh as this comment is unnecessary, but good for you?
@@jashanarora17 Very weird comment. A dude on a video about geoguessr says hes played geoguessr and you tell him to do something more productive. You are literally here watching this video are you not? Also it was his entertainment through quarantine. Did you do nothing but program for 2 years or did you do stuff you enjoyed as well? If your answer is that you only focused on programming for 2 years then honestly I pity you. If your goal was to become a programmer and get a high paying job and you accomplished that then congrats but that doesnt mean that this person also has that same goal. It sounds more like their goal was to get good at geoguessr and they also accomplished that.
I love the trekker cam stuff, it gives non-meta players a chance to shine by observing the world rather than poles on the side of the road or dust on the camera lens.
oof L take, I love playing World so i can get placed inside someones house in rural Finland. Super cool! Really shows off how beautiful the world is ya know 🤣
Didn't expect this to be so supportive and informative either. You're right on point about the feeling of playing for the first time, and revisiting that feeling by watching someone else play for the first time. Exploring the locations you never knew existed, trusting your intuition, feeling stupid for not knowing flags, knowing a country exists but not where it is on the map, and the happiness when you get it right even though you're not sure? Yeah, knowing meta and being able to guess a location immediately is very cool and satisfying, but it's also fun to investigate a bit for clues and feel the vibe of the place. You just made me want to go play geoguessr again, even though I'm a noob too!
It feels so fresh seeing someone being more informative and reminiscing on the game rather than trashing and correcting! Love the videos, you have to do this again
Funnily enough, that car with the spoiler XQC was going on about is a Holden that's only sold in Australia, so a pretty major hint. Perhaps he got it because of that?
18:50 In Turkish, you also have dots on top of uppercase I (İ) and dotless lowercase i (ı). (what i said here could be misinterpreted, because Turkish also has normal dotless capital I and normal lowercase i)
hot take, I really like trekkers, It makes the game 10x harder and its kind of like a random boss battle encounter. Spices things up, but I can see why it can be unfair to new players and also why professionals dont like it too. It can sometimes have almost no clues, but I think it starts sparking that thing in your head where you start trying to piece the smallest of things together and even if you're wrong, its really fun to just sit and try instead of getting given the answer immediately from road signs or whatever.
This video popped up after I watched the sidemen collab, Harry is such an anomaly because he was one of those dudes that was just so naturally good at geoguesser
Tim's guessing process about Russia was so fun to watch, and his logic was incredible, even though unintended. I laughed when he thought about it being France, cause the city of Saint Petersburg was actually build by Peter the Great, who was very influenced by French culture, during his reign French language became pretty common in noble society in Russia. The building itself (Winter Palace, the blue one), though, was built by Catherine II, the architect was Italian, but still, it's giving French vibes a lot :)
Geoguessr should be thanking you for some very insightful, and free, real-world UX testing. It's especially helpful watching both an old & new user simultaneously. Hopefully they all see this and take some clues to help improve their onboarding & the default maps.
incredibly wholesome react vid, and very classy too how positive and encouraging you were its like watching those ask an expert vids, they never throw shade at newbies
Hearing you talk about people knowing their own areas like England makes me think it would be cool to see you do a region match against other youtubers where you give them home court advantage. For example if you had played against that crew, doing England only and seeing if their local knowledge wins out.
I love this type of video! It's a mix of fun content with a few tips and tricks here and there, also you are extremely supportive to the other creators! Awesome stuff dude.
In Quebec, we use "arrête" instead of "Stop" because of law 101 that requires everything to be first in french (then english if two options are available) to try to prevent the loss of french in Quebec although it's unsuccessful in my opinion. I'm not sure but I believe we might've used "Stop" at one point in time and changed it because of that "fear" of losing the Quebec french and the culture associated with it. As a french Canadian myself, I don't really think it's threatened, but we all have different views on it. Quebec even tried to become its own country to prevent the loss of french, it ended up being approximately 51% against the referendum which is pretty interesting.
If you think it's not being threatened then you need to go look at some stats to inform yourself on the decline. Also, a good chunk of Montreal already doesn't speak french so yeah.
Thanks to you, I started playing this game over the weekend focusing on world map. I've loved looking at maps since I was a kid so I thought I might enjoy this. The tips you gave that stuck really helped! Still, this is tricky! I need to find a community for casual players.
I always play GeoGuessr with the hope of finding a street or somewhere I've actually been, but it happens to me now with Cody's video. I walk that street in Kona to work almost every day.
"Stop" has become a French word actually, it's just that Quebec French and French French have evolved differently for a lot of reasons, which I find fascinating.
Fun fact there was a petition for some time in germany to correct the stop sign. Stop is correct in german but grammatically correct would be stopp with double p. It unfortunately didnt go through
From a game point I understand being anti trekker but from a life perspective it has to be a sick job to just drive or walk around and capture for google. Getting paid to travel sounds amazing. Plus being able to see the world like this is amazing
2:13 you are correct about the first instinct part, i dont play geoguesser and literally my first thought was "this feels like sydney" and i have never been to austrialia
