I've played about 2 hours of this now and I'm getting to a point where I'm thinking I may be too stupid for it. It's not that I'm not enjoying it, it's that I don't get what I'm supposed to do

The first time you spoke to the guy that gives you the launch codes, he seemed to have a lot to say about the Nomai, problem is I've forgotten all of it, including where he said I should be looking for them.
What I've been able to gather on my own is that the sun goes supernova and kills everything and everyone but aside from that I don't feel like I know what I'm doing
Explore each planet. Just pick one and go. Use the music box thingy to seek out "radio" codes. Look for those info things to read and try to read as many as possible. You'll know by your computer if there's "more to be found" on a given planet/area.
Read your ship logs
How about this: don't read you ship logs, take physical notes, and systematically explore each planet.
This game is about searching for points of interest to populate your ship log. Make sure you check out the exhibit.
where is the exhibit?
fair point, I have numerous times seen that notification "ship log updated" but I haven't really read it
I forgot what Hornfels told me about the Nomai, I know he said to look for them on one place, but I forgot what place it was
The museum anon
I know I said I'm dumb, but I'm 2 hours into the game, with the exception of the last anon you guys referred to the observatory area (an area I haven't been back to since I got the launch codes) as the "Exhibit" and then you call me an idiot for not going there and reading plaques learning about shit
I am no doubt an idiot but laughing at me for that seems a little excessive.
>Outside of that basically just run around and look for places to explore that look interesting
Yeah been doing that quite a bit, just didn't pay attention to anything I'm finding being logged on the ship so far, so using that log might be easier to keep track of things.
my number one advice to you is definitely just start paying attention
that's pretty much it.
anon, is this a bit? are you doing a bit right now?
this game might not be your speed
>anon, is this a bit? are you doing a bit right now?
YOU ARE NOT AN ENTERTAINER! STOP CALLING JOKES "BITS!"
this is a bit for sure
a bit much
orange text means more to do at that location, even if it's just an orange question mark
You might as well just watch a LP of the game because there is no way you are finishing it.
kek OP isn't even struggling with the puzzles he's struggling just getting to the puzzles. Just look around dude
The Exhibit is in the starting town where you went and first got blasted by the Nomai statue. Go read the plaques in there because it explains a bunch of pertinent stuff for other planets. Outside of that basically just run around and look for places to explore that look interesting
I found the beginning to be kind of a slog until I started getting enough bread crumbs in the shiplog that point out exactly where you should be going.
>he doesn’t know about the ship logs
Exhibit gives you an overview of planets
6ou have a moon to visit on timberhearth. You also have timberhearth itself to explore.
At the very least pick a path to see out to the end, like Quantum stuff of finding the other explorers
Every time the ship log updates, you're making progress.
you're supposed to just wander around randomly until you find some texts and shit and read those on ship to get clues. not gonna lie it's just busy work so the game lasts longer
moron
>Hornfels tells you to go out and just explore on your own
>"UHHH WHAT DO I HAVE TO DOOOO???"
Just go play playstation cinematic garbage or an jrpg
Just crash into the sun until you crash into the station
Even if you're dumb as hell you can let the ship log think for you. Or I don't know, just read stuff and ask questions, figure out what happened.
I'll admit I looked up twin ashes. I did everything by myself but that, but that's the main puzzle so I guess I fricked up.
At least I have Obra Dinn as a complete victory, that was a ride.
form a hypothesis and test it. you don't have to just sniff around looking for interactables like a dumb animal, just stop and THINK.
This. I'll never understand the advice that's like "DURR JUST WANDER". Like if you follow basic verbal instructions you'll use your signalscope to track your buddies, find them, they'll tell you things, you'll investigate the things they tell you, and by an unbroken chain of events you'll find 90% of the game. I think The Interloper is the only thing not utterly entwined with the main rumor web.
going after other explorers is just wandering at the start, I'm concerned if this doesn't come to mind to people
keep mind of the log it tells you what you should have learned and if there's more to find
even that has a mention, but I forget if it's anywhere else besides you-know-where
>not utterly entwined
Nah, it's mentioned on the Sun station and that the three of them are going there.
I already forgot about my buddies because of my shit memory, but now that you jogged it I do remember the guy at the observatory mentioning 3 of them
I fired the camera probe into the the thing, but that's as far as I've gone when it comes to the Feldspar search
DURR JUST WANDERING is more fun
Land on the comet
Basically what the others said, look at ship logs.
The game only works, on your own desire to discover. Peak at the logs, see what you want to learn more of. See what it hints at and head there, and you be overwhelmed, and completely immersed. There is no bad spot to explore first. Go where your heart desires and start piecing things together.
Go ahead to the moon of Timer Hearth first, and then if you want some guidance, I'd say explore Giants Deep or Brittle Hollow after that. But you go where you wanna explore, those 2 just happened to be the first main areas I checked.
There is absolutely 0 way you would end up spoiling yourself, no matter where you go. You gotta really piece info together, and almost nothing will blatantly answer whats happening with any of the things you are learning about.
Oh also, don't do the dlc until the very end of the game. You'll know when you're about to hit the final stretch. The dlc gets some special scenes, based on how far you've gotten in the game.
I managed to land on the sun station on my first try
get nasa on the line
This game truly filters morons
I think it's more about complete urbanites. No sense of wonder in going around the hill and seeing what's there because the app already told you.
my english was pretty bad when I played this around release so I played 20 hours without reading shit
I figured some stuff out but I had to use a walktrough
The setup is so fricking simple:
>First time going into space
>Do whatever
>Either die by yourself or sun kills you
>Notice the TIME LOOP
That's all you should need. Every normal human being would want to figure out why there's a time loop. If you don't, you might be an NPC without curiosity or agency.
For sure, I am hooked by that mystery but a bit filtered as to where to search, so I just aimlessly dropped onto places and read some text, anons told me of the ship log which makes keeping track of things easier
Here's a tip
>Go to Brittle Hollow
>Jump into the black hole
>Go to the Ash Twin
>Apply everything you learned through the other steps
Congrats, you've gained access to literally all the information in the game
There you go, you've given yourself access to all the information in the game
moron
Reminder that this game is overrated and shills should hang themselves.
shut up gay
Happy opposite day!
Lol I remember when I thought that finding Feldspar in the bramble was the main goal of the game cuz he was lost and stuff. Good times
I was stupid at first and searched for him inside Timber Hearth because of that signal from that stupid seed being on the other side of the planet.
>get exactly one chance to play this game blind
>ask internet people for help
Why would you do this?
I'm so happy I went in blind. All I knew was that many people whose opinions I respect loved it and said it made them love vidya again and that's all I needed.
Yeah I got it recommended in a Rain World thread and picked it up, practically sealed myself away until I'd finished it
I accidentally read half of the top comment on a youtube video when I was listening to the soundtrack and I was annoyed at myself after lol
I thought he was underground too, ended up trawling those Nomai mines for some way down
I -wish- I could get into rain world but the controls feel kinda stiff for me and I bounce off the game
For what it's worth, Rain World isn't all that hard on a mechanical level, I suck at platformers and didn't have much issue. You'll very rarely be struggling with tight jumps or intense platforming. It tests your patience and mental fortitude a lot more than any epic gamer skills.
That's not to say you CAN'T get good at the controls, people who are good at this game are on another level. But it's not necessary, avoiding fights is much easier than killing shit anyway.
I must now add this game to my wishlist. I know it's not the point and you're just a doofy little slugcat, but I hope the lore is fun.
I think everyone bounces off the game once. But it's my favorite game of all time so give it a chance. The controls are weird on purpose, but they end up being very precise when you're comfortable with them.
I'm a moron, I figure asking for some light help might mean I don't give up on it and see it through. I'll keep a much closer eye on the ship log from now on and hopefully that will be enough.
then again probably won't be because the entire thread is probably right for laughing at me
It's fine anon, the overall point of the objectives won't click until near the end. Rule of thumb just explore and check the ship, it'll show you routes of investigation
honestly i got spoiled by a few things before finishing it and i still think it may be my favorite game ever
Youre supposed to walk around and read text. That's literally the game kek
Finished this game 2 weeks ago. Genuinely one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. The dlc made me tear up
>Genuinely one of my favorite gaming experiences ever.
I see a lot of anons here on Ganker say this, great to see people enjoying something
The non spoiler goal is to explore the planets, most the planets are connected by something.
I quit this game after not being able to find the first npc in the observatory. Ran around for 20 minutes and then refunded it.
Yeah
just explore....do you need a floating arrow, a minimap, a quest log, a compass, and your character to talk themselves constantly in order to play games? Literally just explore. See something cool? Go check it out. One thing leads to another. Once you've visited every planet once or twice and you're not sure or you've forgotten things, then the logs on the ship will point you in the right direction.
