@@Mr_Boyer That's why I suck at Geogussr, I over think and eventually I'm like "well no, it's possible someone from the Americas moved to Spain and owns this farm" 😂
Bro, my instant thought for when you showed Canada was “Yo this is my front door step” I’m proud to say I instantly got it I also find it funny how one of them said “it has no infrastructure so I went Europe” when Canada has literally nothing for thousands of miles
For me it was something about the mountains that practically SCREAMED Canada. Even though I’m a BC girly, the plants and snow are very reminiscent of an early morning skiing trip on a long long road. Deffo wasn’t BC though, felt very Ontario esque
how do they even do it ? for example one can construct/ put any type of fence/road/lamppost/pole anywhere in any remote part of the world, how is it associated with a particular country? wtf @@ahhkitty.
@@infinixgaming1791because of different materials, different budgets and different techniques "the same" fence in concept would already be different, then you add external factors like lighting and environment around. Also if there would be one specific different fence they would remember about that catch
You should do the same challange but with average geoguessur players so they're less likely to be baited by fake metas or just random stuff, clearly dont make it the same difficulty, but keep the same idea. I think it would be super cool if Ludwig or someone similar did this.
Some serious dendrology study would give all of you a huge step up. Being able to identify just a couple staple trees from each region wouldve helped a ton for a couple of these.
as a Canadian I called Canada so fast and I was actually a little annoyed hearing them say the trees don't look Canadian haha. I failed every other one though
@@cdamm7095 no joke, I could drive 5 minutes from my place and find almost an identical scene. Probably 1,000’s of areas that look like that but I just thought “I swear I’ve driven down the road”
I just love how you bring together people of different countries and continents! Had a blast watching this one, congrats to ZigZag and heads up Blinky, everybody loses against the Australian God in Tasmania
As a South African, I just had a feeling it was South Africa on the first one. I'm no good at Geogeusser, and I have no idea where in SA that is. It just had SA vibes 😆
i lowkey also just kinda knew instantly when i saw it, but mostly because it reminded me of a road that headed into Delportshoop in the NC so i figured it might be somewhere in the NC
A random video idea: Have a non-geoplayer/viewer pick out a handful of street view pictures for pros to guess to see if they get them! I watch you religiously on twitch but could absolutely never play this game. For me just one of those things that I get lost in watching and get excitement from watching others play. Keep up the great work Rainbolt
Question #3… the dirt road shows that it is right side drive… but the biggest telling clue (for me) was the amount of Birch Trees. Birch trees are very very prominent in Provinces from Ontario all the way to British Columbia. In fact the Birch tree is the official tree of the province Saskatchewan.
Idea for the next one: You should give 7 points if they guess the country directly and give 3 points if they guess a country next to the right one. Also love this content
aristotles: “a man’s soul will inevitably doubt his mind when presented with peru, for if his mind so intentively seeked it, it must be against nature.”
I tried guessing them as I went along; suffice to say it didnt go well. R1: Mexico R2: Philippines R3: Sweden (how is that canada dude? Im still shocked lmfao) R4: Peru (for some reason this was just really obvious for me called in like 5 seconds. Maybe something to do with the really high altitude vegetation?) R5: South Korea (honestly had no idea at all. Spent like 4 minutes staring at the screen. Was tempted by South Africa but since we already had that i doubted it. In the end narrow road and weird ditch just made me pick an asian country and settled on south korea) Overall 1/5 imo Im fairly happy with that. Was not expecting to get any tbh 😅
I'm Canadian, I think I legit never guess Europe on r3, it feels so so so Canadian to me. The shitty road, the ditches, those brown shrubs sticking up on the left... I dont know why but I feel like there is almost never rural Ontario/Quebec rounds on geo but thats exactly what rural Ontario looks like. We only get rural rounds on other provinces or far north in Ontario
Lol we're like the same but also the opposite of each other. I said the same for rounds 1 & 2, then called Canada the first second it was on screen, but must've said every other country near Peru that wasn't Peru for round 4. And as with you I could've looked at round 5 for a decade and not got it.
totally agree with you that the peru round just gave total peru vibes instantly lol. but also my knowledge is nowhere near these guys' so if i knew more about other countries its possible i wouldnt feel that way. i also got the canada one cause im from canada and as someone else in this thread said it just feels insanely canadian lol.
I was most impressed by that last Tasmania guess. If logging roads were mapped on geogussr that would be really difficult, maybe even borderline impossible, to get since that is what it looks like on every logging road with new-growth trees.
I have an insane strategy of "If it looks like Finland but something is off, then it's probably Canada" and it doesn't work like ever but somehow here it did
As a Norwegian, it was so obvious to me that the Canada one was not in Scandinavia at all, because of the dirt road. It simply doesn't look Scandinavian. I don't know why. Forest roads like these are either made with asphalt, gravel, or just mud...
That last Tasmania guess looks almost exactly like some of the lease roads in Alberta that I drove on while I was working in the oil fields, that is wild. I really liked this video
I think there may be parts of the Geoguessr meta that hurt more than they help with certain locations. I guessed South Africa for number 1 because my rule is if it looks like the American southwest but it doesn't look American or South American enough, it's South Africa, and it's a surprisingly reliable rule if you have no other helpful info. I also guessed Canada just based on intuition rather than relying on knowledge of the meta, because it just...idk, looks like Canada. It's interesting seeing how the meta isn't everything.
I tried to play along and guess before I heard the correct answer: 1. USA (I’ve seen roads that look similar but honestly had no idea what country it was.) 2. Indonesia (I saw the dense vegetation and just guessed the first south Asian country that came to mind) 3. Canada (I almost guessed a Nordic country like Finland but decided to just pick Canada) 4. Peru (I’ve watched videos of people traveling on dangerous roads in Peru and that road looked similar to the roads I saw in those videos. 5. Australia (I honestly had no clue what this one was and just guessed a random country)
I love to play along with these and actually.. the first one the dirst seemed reddish -y and it seemed very african to me. my first thought was brazil, but it's too dry and flat so i thought south africa. but i changed my mind soon after, and ended thinking america because that's what all of the pros were saying.
In South Africa if you look beyond you see dry hills that are very common in bloem area but I would consider mx as well. Ah and last one is gettable if you know road as zigzag blinky and rc did. Last round oscar got i was convinced it was za
It's crazy that I've never played this game yet all of my gut intuition guesses were within some of the Pros guesses and even got two right. My guesses were: 1. Australia 2. Colombia 3. Canada 4. Peru 5. Phillipines 1. The neatly aligned 'tree fence', rural straight road, and mountains in the view gave it an Australian feel. 2. Visited Medellin twice and the soil and vegetation were familiar, especially to a park I went there 'Parque Arvi' 3. Trees/landscape seemed to me like very north rural American but seeing the snow I thought it would most likely be Canada. 4. The fog and mountainous road gave away the high elevation, and the vegetation looked south american and Peru has a lot of towns built in highly elevated ground. 5. The vegetation and rock pavement on the sides of the road looked way to closely to that from where I was born and raised (Puerto Rico) but missing the lines in the streets that divide the two way traffic, so I thought the country had to be in a similar latitude, less developed, and possibly Asia since there hadn't been an asian country in the previous 4 rounds.
rainbolt! amazing content as usual, but i have a request. i would love to see a collab with geomouse! hes a smaller creator, but hes extremely talented and a genuinely nice guy. i think you two would be so entertaining and an amazing team!
I was on an archeological dig outside of Lima, and that definitely looks like one of the sketchy roads we took. They dont clean up the edges when they blast through mountains on some of the outflung roads.
I am proud, I would have gotten the third one, simply because of the thickness of the trees and the forest. I have seen that kind of forest a lot in coverage of that country. On the 4th one I would have gone Ecuador purely by hunch.
spoilers r1: south africa (much less off of metas or real reason, 10% feel and 90% just a lucky guess) r2: brazil (don’t play remotely enough to even consider panama or know anything about what it looks like) r3: latvia (unsure exactly why. looking back scandinavia does make a bit more sense) r4: sri (this was my bad miss sorta, considered SA but something said sri to me) r5: australia (was between southern africa and aus/NZ, completely blanked out on SE asia but probably would have guessed thailand anyways. gotta catch up on my southern cambodian roads)
My guesses: 1. Australia 2. Cuba 3. Canada 4. Somewhere in the Andes (I think it looks a lot like the geology around tourist destinations) 5. Thailand (just SMELLS a little Asian to me. Asia loves paving tourist locations in weird rural locations) Always getting close but relying too hard on geology I think. I'm not counting my guesses on 4 and 5 (1/5)
Only one i got right was canada. 1 - America 2 - Nigeria 3 - CANADA 4 - New zealand (gave me lotr vibes lol) 5 - had no idea, but i thought it was south africa for some reason
@ 11:00 the vultures in the sky flying in a way to indicate it is a black vulture helps with the guess (black vulture in panama) learn your birds people😉
1: Australia 2: Brasil 3: USA (Was between US and Canada and am upset at myself lol) 4: Argentina 5: ??? I am just glad that my 4 guesses were mentioned by them since I am just silver. lol but 5 was so foreign that I didn't even have a guess. This was super fun to try and watch afterward too.
Somehow guessed Zimbabwe (a feeling, I know so little about geography) for the first and I got Canada right (I grew up next to a forest just like that). Felt so hyped!
I got one point guessing Canada, and I was pretty close on the other one guessing northern Chile. Absolutely awesome quiz~ I'm honestly surprised how much the clouds affect my decisions.
Proud of my performance (I've been to Peru and South africa) My guesses: 1. South Africa (correct) 2. Costa Rica 3. Norway 4. Peru (correct) 5. Indonesia
I feel Puerto Rico could be a guess for the second round. PR has a lot of different soils and vegetations depending on the areas and could be a hard one to guess unless guessing US is consider correct in that case
my guesses as a casual rainbolt viewer (before anyone starts theorizing) 1- argentina 2- malaysia 3- finland (second guess was canada but i thought it was too obvious) 4- brazil 5- ‘stralia
I didn't see a whole lot of plant analysis, or animal tracking signs, especially in the first picture with the High Ungullate feeding evidence on the trees. Can you magnify and look for tracks and insects? The mountains seem like a good place to start if they're ever in the pictures.
South Africa felt obvious to me. Because of the mountains in the background. Everybody was about the fence but....moutains. I had 3 of them right: - South Africa, - Canada (pretty much out of luck just because we had snow today and I saw snow on the blurry shot of the view and I said "Canada" as a joke and then thought it could actually be it), - Peru (it came instantly to me, everything looked like Peru) Pretty sure not knowing about random fences or roads helped me (I've played Geoguessr a bit but I hate the full meta gameplay)
Dang, been to 4/5 of these countries and could never pinpoint the landscape like they do! I was just hiking in Panama last month and that soft red dirt and the tropical shrubs definitely reminded me of that (like Boquete, El Valle area) but I would've never have guessed! Could only guess Canada but that's my home country, and those gravel roads and birch trees remind me of rural Alberta.
Would be kinda fun to have a noob contestant in these super hard custom super hard games as well as the pros, just as a reference. Like a random viewer or so
Hey RAINBOLT I live in Canada and I must say , you have a crazy ability to identify Thunder Bay, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Gotta work on that Alberta though 🤣 love you huge fan
South African here, something about the weather mixed with the tree bark and leaves gave me a familiar vibe for the first guess. Dirt roads are common especially in more rural areas. Fencing is somewhat similar to what is on our walls by the roads. Perhaps in the Free State or Mpumalanga provinces is the vibe I feel.
the canada could 100% be in norway. except that there usually is some elevation change between the road and thee field and a bit wider roads like this in norway, not always but usually.
I think being dumb and bad actually made this easier lmao I guessed purely based off vibes 1) South Africa, vibes felt Australian outback at first cuz of the terrain but felt like it was too green so I went back to Africa 2) Columbia, this one was the hardest for me cuz there wasn't much to go off of but just felt SA 3) US, I live in the US and I feel like I've driven through here before lmao thought it could've been like rural upstate NY or like Washington or something but Canada makes sense 4) Peru, Machu Picchu looks like it could be around the corner this was an immediate guess for me 5) Thailand, got Med and African vibes for a bit cuz of the rocky sides of the road but foliage just felt more SE Asia This was a really interesting video cuz all these guys know all the little metas and misc things that clearly help but can also through off their thinking and we saw a lot of examples of both these outcomes
3rd one screamed Québec right away. Our national tree is the yellow birch, so when you see a lot of white trees intermingled with coniferous trees, you might just be there. Lots of hills. Always a ditch on the side of the road since it's very humid and we have a lot of freshwater bodies around. Might not be Québec, but sure as hell is around that area.
Guesses 1. South africa(looks bad so I'll assume africa and doesn't look like a desert so southern africa and south africa is the 1st one that came to mind) 2. Myanmar (Looks kinda asian but i have no clue so I'll guess random SEA country) 3. Canada (I'm Finnish and this feels a bit familiar but way off so I'll guess it isn't nordic and I'll guess canada) 4. Peru (Looks weird and mountainy so i think its western south america, Chile feels too easy so peru ) 5. Malaysia (Looks weird and i got another SEA vibe so Malaysia)
