    WHY DID YOU DO DAYS GONE!? DO DAYS GONE!!!

    Gamers, take notes.

    THIS is the stuff about TLOU Part II that doesn’t make any sense.



  3. Zach Espinoza on April 10, 2023 at 3:31 am

    How the heck was there a video I haven’t seen?!?!



  4. Chris Johansen on April 10, 2023 at 3:33 am

    How about when she lights a molotov before she’s ready to throw it and then stuffs it right back in her bag?



  5. theravenousbeast on April 10, 2023 at 3:33 am

    max payne 3 also had that really visceral, weighty feel to the third person combat. also the two weapon limit and max actually carrying the guns with him in his off hand was awesome. not that many weird rare guns but worth a look



  6. Keith Heart on April 10, 2023 at 3:35 am

    I’d love to see him react to the Max Payne 3 improvised suppressor Max uses in one level. He attaches a water bottle to his pistol, and it blows up after one shot.



  7. PANGPOWER on April 10, 2023 at 3:35 am

    Just wanted to mention that this video isn’t in the "experts reacts" playlist. Hopefully GameSpot notices because I really enjoy these videos and potentially missing them would be a shame.



  8. GibbyGib on April 10, 2023 at 3:35 am

    The combat in this game is some of the best ever.



  9. gatopreto 1207 on April 10, 2023 at 3:36 am

    03:10 HUE HUE HUE



  10. Danny Lam on April 10, 2023 at 3:37 am

    Man wasting bullets there, with that bad aiming lol



  11. Nigerian Prince 158 on April 10, 2023 at 3:37 am

    The supresers break after 2 shots on the way more realistic grounded mode



  12. Goku Drip on April 10, 2023 at 3:37 am

    I would love to see Tom Clancy the division ( 1st one ) weaponry reviewed Ik it’s probably not the most popular game but yeh



  13. docofhell _ on April 10, 2023 at 3:38 am

    He should react to how she "designs" the guns



  14. English Mike on April 10, 2023 at 3:42 am

    PLEASE review "Sniper Elite"



  15. JohnstasBACK on April 10, 2023 at 3:44 am

    incredible game.



  16. Skuyler Knisely on April 10, 2023 at 3:44 am

    That’s a lovely Spitfire shirt Jonathan



  17. I'm just some Canadian guy and I say on April 10, 2023 at 3:45 am

    Who wouldn’t want an MP5?? 😁



  18. MadnessBomber on April 10, 2023 at 3:46 am

    I still wanna see this man go over the Warframe guns and see what he thinks lol.



  19. Shellshocks games. on April 10, 2023 at 3:48 am

    do an uncharted video.



  20. Julbas on April 10, 2023 at 3:53 am

    Can Jonathan be the decendant of the legendary Ferguson who created a breech-loading rifle? It would…make sense in some way. Anyone interested?



  21. Mike Robinson on April 10, 2023 at 3:54 am

    Thanks. I always thought Abby’s rifle was an SKS until now. Very cool. Also I thought Ellie’s revolver was once Joel’s which I too thought was a smith and Wesson 686.



  22. Ryan Ashby on April 10, 2023 at 3:54 am

    9:39 looks like a fostech echo trigger



  23. I'm just some Canadian guy and I say on April 10, 2023 at 3:55 am

    Abby’s rifle is pretty awesome.

    They should have given you way more ammo for it. 😄



  24. Kevin Griffin on April 10, 2023 at 3:57 am

    I want to see this same video, but with a self proclaimed, back woods gun expert.



  25. DMC on April 10, 2023 at 3:57 am

    Hey about the revolver she didn’t just pick it up she used a revolver before when she was younger so normal Technics



  26. Eli on April 10, 2023 at 3:59 am

    Please do GTA 5 weapons



  27. One Doomed Spacemarine on April 10, 2023 at 3:59 am

    I like the part where she shoots at a dude who’s right next to a dog, and the dog somehow doesn’t hear the gun go off or the action cycle.



  28. Bob borlog on April 10, 2023 at 3:59 am

    I removed a 200lb bucks front leg with a single 45-70 shot tracked it 200 yds and finished it . So would it be possible to remove an arm maybe depending on size if arm expansion of projectile and shot placement.



  29. Dennis on April 10, 2023 at 4:01 am

    Yeah but it looks like a MP5 and identified it as an MP5 when I first saw it in the game



  30. NoMansLand on April 10, 2023 at 4:03 am

    The fact that he nailed the “sporting gun” thing is crazy honestly



  31. Eddie, The Unggoy Slayer on April 10, 2023 at 4:05 am

    You should do Apex Legends or the Titanfall series as a whole since they have the same weapons



  32. Random Enclave Fanboy on April 10, 2023 at 4:07 am

    Would love to see a reaction to the guns in the Half-Life games, with the possible exception for Half-Life Alyx, that should get a few laughs with how ridiculous some of the guns are especially the spas-12!



  33. Sebastian C. on April 10, 2023 at 4:08 am

    personally, i think the pistol silencers should only work once, because if you shoot a semi-auto pistol with a bottle silencer, the bottle’s bottom should be falling apart/destroyed. and you’d easily waste your resources on making silencers for a pistol.



  34. unR8TED on April 10, 2023 at 4:09 am

    The story of this game is awful but the shooting gameplay is so realistic that it should be the standard for every game with guns.



  35. Denace2Society on April 10, 2023 at 4:09 am

    yes! i’d hoped he’d do this one!



  36. Mitch Snyder on April 10, 2023 at 4:12 am

    Thoughts on the explosive arrows?



  37. Koy Oliver on April 10, 2023 at 4:12 am

    didn’t even cover the gun i came here for😭



  38. Fernando Farias on April 10, 2023 at 4:13 am

    What is the model of joel’s revolver?



  39. Willy-Brad on April 10, 2023 at 4:13 am

    He should react to uncharted 4’s guns



  40. J Flowers on April 10, 2023 at 4:14 am

    Do gta



  41. Jacob Marsa on April 10, 2023 at 4:16 am

    its hard to watch this gameplay with someone using a controller.



  42. Tadicuslegion78 on April 10, 2023 at 4:16 am

    Him: a 45-70 can not remove someone’s arm.
    Me: wanna bet?



  43. Hunter on April 10, 2023 at 4:18 am

    The VEPR selector is an AKM fostech binary trigger. Hilariously, it removes the safety.



  44. Will on April 10, 2023 at 4:18 am

    Would you guys ever considered looking or have looked at the Uncharted series weapons? They have pretty similar to life weapons but sometimes they do have the odd weapons which feel not real or out of place, like the pistole or the copperhead



  45. THE STORY OF US on April 10, 2023 at 4:18 am

    Very astute observations and of course it’s all very intentional. Silencers that are actually silent, some inaccurate crafting, what they’re doing with this is a bit like Neil Degrasse Tyson said about depictions of science in media
    “Get the facts right first and then distort them at your leisure.”
    Accuracy isn’t a requirement, the reason pretty much all media uses the myth of the silent silencer is because it’s useful to storytelling. For The Last Of Us, you sacrifice some accuracy in crafting for mechanical nuance because in the arts, making something compelling is of a higher priority than total realism.



  46. J The BK on April 10, 2023 at 4:19 am

    I’m astonished that you never come across an M4 or an AR15 in this game. They even put guns in that your character can’t get. One enemy dropped an m14 and I was pissed I couldn’t unlock it in the game, I love the m14 platform.



  47. Flyhi_Photography on April 10, 2023 at 4:19 am

    Jonathan is the absolute boss! I need a Jonathan in my circle of acquaintances!



  48. Darion Davis on April 10, 2023 at 4:20 am

    In my opinion the shotgun blast sounds like god slamming his car door



  49. Lopiklop on April 10, 2023 at 4:22 am

    how many of us have ever seen someone shot in real life? i havent



  50. Jared B on April 10, 2023 at 4:22 am

    The "burst fire" feature on abby’s vepr seems to be modeled after a fostech echo trigger system.
