if you were older than 18 and not brought up by morons and the internet, you would know that "top *insert number* list" is the most stupid thing you can have and ask. I bet it's easy for you to make one since you played 30 games total in your sorry shitty short life, on top of maybe 20 movies and a few anime series. And now I'm suppose to argue with you about taste...

There is a 99.9% chance I have better taste in film than you.
Top 5 films:
1. History is Made at Night (Borzage)
2. Raging Bull (Scorcese)
3. Modern Romance (Brooks)
4. Woman in the Dunes (Teshigahara)
5. The Phantom of Liberty (Bunuel)
Notice how I actually have taste and you just keep crying.
You should play The Silver Case anon.
Imagine a game the opposite of what's popular today, super linear gameplay wise, but an open-ended story that you'll explore for years even when the game is finished. And yet, it could not have been anything but a videogame.
10 Nintendo games, 3 of those being from a single series (their best, Metroid), hardly a Nintendo fan, not like there's any Mario, Zelda, Pokemon or Kirby
only good nintendo game from that list is donkey kong TF. Haven't played much of the metroid series , but as everything else with nintenod, it is largely overrated in its quality and importance.
I love this game but I can name you a better one, and by that I mean any game I like more than this one like Minecraft.
Now, it's hard to name a better designed game than this one, on top of my mind I can only say Dark Souls.
The idea is nice but I genuinely don't get why it gets so much wienersucking on here.
Plot is predictable and the loop thing gets boring really fast.
Please explain why it's considered as some kind of masterpiece.
>why it gets so much wienersucking on here.
it's the first (and probably only) zoomers adventure game. Zoomers have this insufferable pathetic need to praise mediocrities that happened/came out in their time, because they're so butthurt that the generations before them had all the fun and they're just left to pick up the pieces.
I've recently started playing Myst and it's fricking great, but I think they excel at very different things.
Myst doesn't offer the player the freedom to brute force puzzles in creative and satisfying ways.
I refer back to my post here
It's a game that does open world well.
Usually a game is a tug of war between player expression and designer expression. Some games excel by giving the player many freedoms, like Skyrim or GTA. This usually means some form of ludonarrative dissonance (when Niko is reluctant to murder in GTA IV he probably has already murdered a thousand times, the player expression is at odds with the designer's intentions). Some games excel by having strong and focused narratives envisioned by the designer, but at the sacrifice of player agency and interactivity. While the story might be told incredibly well, it feels less personal since your actions in the game aren't meaningfully YOUR actions, anyone else playing it would have played it in almost exactly the same way.
Then Outer WIld comes along and perfectly bakes gameplay and narrative into one, the player has freedom in every way the game can offer, but the story and narrative remains compelling (I think most people dislike the ending because of this, the fact that you can "fail" puzzles and can't explore freely is a horrible finale to the game).
It's a game that just works on every level it aims to, and not because of lack of ambition. When you've completed the game you understand everything in it perfectly, but you've also got a wholly unique story to tell.
on why I think Outer Wilds has the impact it has on so many people.
Though I do agree that people would probably be less impressed with Outer Wilds if they had played Myst before, it's simply not enough to claim that unfamiliarity with the genre is the entire reason.
I only brought up myst because often OW fans call upon it as if outer wilds was some sort of a spiritual successor to myst. I agree with you the two don't have much in common. I dig the sandbox style in OW and the timeloop is smartly implemented. And the fact that you have a functioning solar system is also neat. But other than that, the rest of OW is very bland and below mediocre. I'm okay with giving it 8/10 for the things it does really well, but calling it a masterpiece and shilling it daily made me hate it.

I'm 100% with you that it feels incredibly dumb to call Outer Wilds a successor to Myst, and I can definitely see how that framing sours the game. Especially since if you're hellbent on calling an indie puzzler walk sim from the late 10's a Myst successor I feel like Obra Dinn is a much, much better fit. But then again I'm not that into Myst yet so who knows.
I think for me sandbox + timeloop + space exploration + very comprehensive story, all done well, is enough for a game to be called a masterpiece. Even though there's a lot of waiting/walking, bland characters, and a pretty uninspired way of relaying the nomai's story (reading text isn't a huge gameplay milestone). Ironically, those are all things the DLC does better, while forgoing the things the base game does well.
Outer Wilds is cool because it's puzzles barely feel like puzzles and feel directly tied into both it's world and the passage of time
Myst and Riven are great but when riven gives you a puzzle it sure is just a big frick off hard board of marbles that's overly time consuming to solve

Yeah, but it really is almost every time. And unless it’s the same anon autistically using the same image every time, I don’t think that that explains it. I’d expect the average v user to have more than just one image of a fairly popular, not to old game. Unless I’m underestimating how prevalent image hoarding is now. A teen or young adult mostly posting on there phone wouldn’t have a shit ton of files at there disposal like someone on a computer.
>I’d expect the average v user to have more than just one image of a fairly popular, not to old game
Why?
I love this game to bits and am always defending it with full autismo force, but I don't have any Outer Wilds photos on my computer.
I find it hard to believe people would do any extra effort other than simply copying the image url and putting that as the image for the thread.
fan community of this reddit game has made it a 7/10

Arguably Pathologic 2 and The Silver Case (yes I'm )
>Bully
That was easy
Clash of Clans
Is it worth playing
yes
leave the thread and do not listen to anybody's opinion on this game here
I can not
literally any game, like skyrim for example
most if not all of these
Outer Wilds is a floating simulator with some poorly written Metroid Prime spiral scanning 'puzzles'
you seem to have good taste so i think you should give outer wilds another try
too much nintendo crap.
opinion determined as shit.
10 Nintendo games, 3 of those being from a single series (their best, Metroid), hardly a Nintendo fan, not like there's any Mario, Zelda, Pokemon or Kirby
only good nintendo game from that list is donkey kong TF. Haven't played much of the metroid series , but as everything else with nintenod, it is largely overrated in its quality and importance.
>Zero Mission
>not Super
My homie with taste this based you must not have finished Outer Wilds give it another go

What are some better adventure games?
every single on from the myst series, even the newer obduction title shits all over OW.
I've recently started playing Myst and it's fricking great, but I think they excel at very different things.

>just works
Every time there’s an outer wilds thread the op always has the same image and a crappy conversation starter. Why is that?
Could it be that it's the first google image result when searching for Outer Wilds?
Yeah, but it really is almost every time. And unless it’s the same anon autistically using the same image every time, I don’t think that that explains it. I’d expect the average v user to have more than just one image of a fairly popular, not to old game. Unless I’m underestimating how prevalent image hoarding is now. A teen or young adult mostly posting on there phone wouldn’t have a shit ton of files at there disposal like someone on a computer.

anon I think you had enough internet for today
>the op always has the same image
because it's the cover art and an easily recognizable thing you dipshit
i never played it myself but probably watched 100 hours of lets plays and reactions to it still to this day, absolutely stunning game and dlc
