I didn't, it's the definition of forced soul
FPBP
this shit is the most pretentious, atheist-poseur friendly garbage I've played since the stanley parable.
But instead of "hiding" the long boring lectures about "le life is short" behind puzzle, it's just a super pain in the ass to reach and it's also a race against time
i hate this game so much
hey, stanley parable is actually funny!
pic unrelated? unless you are an underage redditor who still falls for existential crises in 2023. the game was very good, but far from ludo
fpbp
>unless you are an underage redditor who still falls for existential crises in 2023
this boy made up a person to argue with in his head in his first post
looks like i called out one
yes that's what i said. you're gonna get him good, anon!
>definition of forced soul
I simultaneously do and don't understand what you mean
it's just a term he learned here that he could add to his fake Ganker personality's lexicon
Came back to see the (You)s I farmed from my fpbp.
"Forced soul", defined without using an example as the definition in-of-itself, is the seemingly conscious effort on the part of an artist, director, etc to evoke a false instance of deep feelings and thoughts towards the object in question, rather than it legitimately evoking said feelings and thoughts.
There are various subsets of said "forced soul" (nostalgia being a particularly common one), but with this game it's aimed primarily to two things; A pseudo folksy charm and some supposedly deep questions about the nature of reality. Both are ultimately hollow.
>the seemingly conscious effort on the part of an artist, director, etc to evoke a false instance of deep feelings and thoughts towards the object in question, rather than it legitimately evoking said feelings and thoughts
Define a "false" instance of these things, because you're talking out your arse. It's false because you say so, that's why. You'd probably say the same thing about the Sistine Chapel, it's forced soul because they tried to make it soulful? You have a mental illness, no more (You)s for you.
No. My effort posts are fuelled by (You)s, if you give me none, I revert to shitposting for more.
>my current experiences are making me think about something other than irony and cynicism
>must be fake thoughts!
this game really is an npc filter
>the seemingly conscious effort on the part of an artist, director, etc to evoke a false instance of deep feelings
When you grow up, you realize every feeling a director or artist made you feel is a "false instance." It's literally fiction, dude. You've never experienced an emotion watching a movie or playing a game you weren't set up to. Minus a few feelings like "This move/game is shit." They don't tend to want you to feel that.
there is an argument to be made about corporations insincerely pretending their product has soul.
a good example is the first sonic movie is evert shitty live action with cartoon mascot that barely even references the source material, but all it took for public opinion to do a 180 was to show post credit eggman and redesign sonic.
but outer wilds is literally just a team that wanted to tell a story and largely succeeded. it doesn't lie about what it is to trick morons.
I feel like there have to be paid shills for this game. The amount of people recommending a low key indie game like this can’t possibly be organic.
>I can't possible fathom the possibility of other people having different tastes to me, therefor it must be paid shills
Listen, if you guys don't want to be called NPCs then please stop acting like them. It's been said before in these threads: a game that you personally don't like =/= a bad game. And it's hardly a low key game either.
Stick to Reddit.
Imagine thinking you’re unique for liking Reddit’s favorite indie game.
Thought that was Rain World
But I don't think I'm unique? Clearly, just from this thread alone this game is liked by many people. Your point doesn't make sense.
>it's only shilling if it's not a AAA game with multiple threads one right after another

*yawn*
Just say you didn't play the game anon
>Giving it attention
if he's not going to put in any effort he doesn't deserve to be noticed.
when the first thing i did for shit and giggles was to kill myself in the campfire and the game instantly rolled the credits
>sun station doesn't work
when i got there it was late, i was half asleep and i was tired because getting there was frustrating... and i completely missed the point that the sun station didn't work and the sun was naturally exploding. i thought it was working, just very slowly.
sometimes when i cant find a movie to watch i'll put up streamers playing the game for the first time and the ratio of oblivious dumbfricks vs people that actually understand and enjoy the game is 10 to 1. you shouldnt feel bad about what you said because there's players that miss entire story beats, meanwhile theres the rare playthrough of a physicist playing the game and realizing before he has any reason to that the time loop is nomai-made but since the distant stars are going out it's erroneous. i wish i could find that pkaythrough, its the second best way to experience the game after youve already played it
to add to this (same poster) there's a playthrough that the guy did who made a carreer out of leaving blizzard, you know the one, long hair deep voice, often shilled recently - he was a qa tester for 2 decades and has the most unorthodox playthrough of them all. blasts through the most complex puzzles, misses a quarter of the story reveals because of it unintentionally, but also gets stuck at "an image of a quantum object is the same as looking at it" for half an hour
i ended up connecting the dots the morning after when i went back there because something wasn't adding up in my mind.
i don't feel too bad because i managed to figure out every puzzle on my own. i think i only asked for a hint to get to the quantum tower on brittle hollow but ended up brute forcing it with a very finnicky black hole jump.
i remember immediately figuring out that the stranger was there before the nomais due to ghost matter being inside of it and that the jet fuel canisters were near the eye temples because it was their flamer fuel.
also one neat thing i noticed is the eye theme.
first there's the eye. one
then the strangers with two eyes
the nomai with three
the heartians with four
the mantis aliens 14.3 bllion years later. mantises have 5 eyes
>I first read the text where they say the effect it had on the Sun was infinitely small and that was 280 thousand years ago
that was what threw me in for a loop. tho even after it dawned on me it still didn't do much for me, mostly cuz i thought reaching the eye would save the universe or something
>i wish i could find that pkaythrough, its the second best way to experience the game after youve already played it
I think you mean the playthrough by "About Oliver". I do remember him looking at the sky and noticing stars going supernova, possibly even before it happened to his own sun.
I was in full denial mode which robbed me of the moment. I first read the text where they say the effect it had on the Sun was infinitely small and that was 280 thousand years ago. From my understanding a star doesn't go from normal life to red giant to supernova in 22 minutes so I thought to myself that shit was just a massive delayed reaction and now my new mission was to find out whatever was putting that shit into all other other stars in the sky that were exploding too and somehow put a stop to it. If it was too late to save our own sun, then at least I could save the others and stop the universe from ending.
It really wasn't until I had exhausted every single possible thing to explore that it really dawned on me that what I read was true. There was no salvation, the universe was dying, and our sun really had run its course, its just the devs decided to hyper accelerate the dying process of a star for gameplay reasons, and that just didn't hit me as hard as it could have had I believed what I read in the Sun Station fully from the beginning, in fact the entire reason being a gameplay meta necessity took me out of the moment. I blame my own autism for that a bit, but it still didn't detract from any of the other moments or aspects of the game for me.
Glad I'm not the only one who had similar thoughts about the station. Wasn't until I read the log that I realised it really wasn't the station doing it.
I was more in denial about it.
I could see the logs mentioning the station had nothing to do with the supernova but I figured it still had to be something, maybe the Sun reacting to its power supply when the station falls into it mid-loop.
Then I visited it a few more times and realized everything was fricked.
>sun station doesn't work
Yeah, that's what did it for me. Figured out pretty much everything else, too. So it was very much a frick moment.
>>sun station doesn't work
>Spend hours trying to land on sun station
>figure out you can teleport there
at least I have an achievement not many players have :/
You probably should have picked up on the game's themes that the brute force method isn't the intended path. But yes, welcome to the elite club of pro sun landers.
i know the game gets praised for this shitty "twist" because "m-m-muh hopelessness! c'e la vie! xddd" but it could've been so much better
my original hypothesis was that you could use the wormhole trick to go back in time whenever you wanted, so basically once you discover that whole part, you could respawn, go back in time for additional 22 minutes and stop the probe from breaking, stop the comet from getting into the sun (which was my original hypothesis of why it explodes) and basically unlock the second half of the game. instead we got a lot of unfun shit to wade through, but whatever
the quantum moon part is ludo tho
your idea is worse
nah, going back in time before the usual spawn would've been kino. also stopping the dark bramble seed from dropping, etc...
also the ending was pretty bad
no it's tumblr fanfic tier

i bet you'd want a red dead 3 to be another prequel about the gang in their le heyday. (if you even care about red dead of course, just an example off the top of my head.) it's that same kind of stupid.

what? as for outerwilds, i just wanted it to have a satisfying conclusion... everything dying isn't satisfying
>b-b-but that's the whole po-
don't care, if i wanted depressing spacekino i'd rewatch aniara. if it's a 20h+ game then i want to feel satisfied at the end
I felt completely satisfied. Nothing died, did you not see the ending?
Everything ends, and that's okay because it paves the way for something else to begin
>Nothing died, did you not see the ending?
the universe literally dies tho?
>my gf dumped me and run with tyrone? that's okay because it paves the way for something else to begin

>NOOOOOOOO I want MY universe

yes? i want to fix my universe with my hands, not die like a cuck so an interracial couple could live
You could argue that at the end of the game you dont die so much as become a Deistic god

Bro you need to go jerk off or something. You're not thinking clearly. You're weirdly hyper fixated on sex in an otherwise entirely unrelated discussion.
Anon, the whole point was that there is no fixing the universe, just like there was no fixing the sun. [spoiler]All things with a beginning must come to an end. It's a cycle of birth, death and rebirth. [/spoiler]

You do realise the universe will end one day, or are you not old enough yet to understand what entropy is?
>what's simulation theory
To simulate the universe, you would need a computer more complex than the universe. You're not in a simulation, this is the real deal. Unless you're a Boltzmann brain, in which case there's nothing we can do about it.
Name one.
Ligma
Can't, you probably chopped them off
>To simulate the universe, you would need a computer more complex than the universe
yes, and?
>You're not in a simulation, this is the real deal.
baseless statement
>inb4 christcucking
It's not baseless, I literally said you'd need a computer more complex than the universe, which itself would need to exist in a universe. On top of which, the universe is full of singularities which would break any simulation of the universe. Simulation theory is reddit pseudo-science shit. Being a boltzmann brain is infinitely likelier than your life being a computer game.
Most black holes spin, because they retain the spin of the stars they used to be, you'd just fall into orbit and get shredded in the accretion disk. Even so, tiny bits of matter do fall into the event horizon of a spinning black hole. It's fascinating shit to me because, mathematically speaking, once you're below the event horizon, the rest of the universe physically becomes your past, and the singularity your future, travel anywhere is literally impossible, because the singularity is not a point in space, but an event, its own future distinct from the rest of spacetime, "where" pretty much stops existing.
>It's not baseless, I literally said you'd need a computer more complex than the universe, which itself would need to exist in a universe.
and? the outer universe could easily have gorillion-times higher computational limits so it's a non-issue
>On top of which, the universe is full of singularities which would break any simulation of the universe.
another baseless statement, everything could be simulated properly
>Simulation theory is reddit pseudo-science shit.
no arguments? concession accepted
but don't worry anon, christ is king xd
It's an infinitely dense point without a surface, I don't know if time literally is frozen from the perspective of it or just really really REALLY slow, as in, quadrillions of years per second slow or something, but probably no one knows for sure because knowing what's inside a black hole is by definition impossible.
There are theoretically ways to beat entropy.
Yes, but none of them are fun or worthwhile. Every way posited so far has been incredibly depressing. Even if you gained infinite life and made it through to another universe, you'd be so old and disconnected with every other living being to the point that they'd be as ants to us in your perspective. And that's one of the better options.
But I NEED games to be a power fantasy where because I'm a special little boy and I need to be the chosen hero that fixes everything and has a hot gf and is stronger than goku and naruto combined.
yes, i play games to have fun
Existential dread and cosmic horror is fun to me. Not to you I guess. That's fine.
>Existential dread and cosmic horror is fun to me

2-digits iq npcs aren't exactly my target audicence
then you should sure as shit come up with an idea that doesn't reflect that
>go back in time for additional 22 minutes and stop the probe from breaking
the kino part is understanding that it breaking doesn't matter, going back to "fix" it is a massive narrative downgrade
>downgrade
debatable, but yeah, that's my point. i would prefer a game where you could learn a way to go back in time and fix all the "unavoidable" shit instead of taking the doompill. so yeah, it would've been a different game but i would've liked it more
this is also why i think subnautica is better
My idea for a cool second half of the game would be using the ATP to go back to the time of the Nomai. You could even have a 2nd loop with the impending arrival of the Interloper killing everyone.

>Working out how to land on the Quantum Moon
>Landing on the regular moon for my first ever trip into space and noticing something was wrong with the Sun
>Landing on Brittle Hollow, only for the floor to give way and piss myself as I saw I was falling into a black hole
It was pretty great in general.
When the sun exploded with THAT soundtrack. So like 30 minutes after first booting up the game.
From the moment I took off and realised I really could land anywhere
that was the best for me, especially since i played the game after pirating and uninstalling starfield within 3 hours
i was streaming the game for a friend who wanted to see me play. i was completely blind and in the museum i said something like "is the sun going to explode? why is it telling me about it?" and he did the funniest "HMM" sound ever.
when it happened 20 minutes later i was lucky enough to be staring at the sun, confirming my theory and then the game did its time loop reveal.
i knew it was kino right then and there, easily one of the best first hours in gaming for me
Same for me really, but the first death was just icing on the cake, since I had no idea the game was about a time loop.

Yes, legitimately. Of course that disqualifies it. Are you joking?
don't let bait ruin the thread anons. but for me? sun station revelation
For me, it was the interloper reveal or the brittle hollow nomani clan
Landing on the quantum moon is my favourite moment in the base game
seeing the stranger's "dream" for what it really was will be my favourite moment in any game ever though I think
>spoiler
I deliberately discovered that early because I thought to myself, "hey, if I were designing this game I would totally put in a hidden Easter egg when you do this unintuitive thing" and it turned out that that's exactly what they'd thought to do and then some.
after about an hour and several cycles occurred, when i understood what the game's schtick was
For me it was when I played it and realized that it's actually just an inside joke to pretend that this is a good video game. You guys got me good.
For me it was viewing the map from the observatory, and it zooms out and shows the entire solar system. Seeing all these quirky planets, seeing unnamed things that obviously mean something even though I don't know yet. Seeing the white hole on the map and thinking "is that a white hole?" While other games try to be super realistic this game decides to be a game and decides to be fun. I do wish the solar system was a bit bigger, maybe an extra planet or 2 with the existing planets being bigger and having more stuff. But it's still much better having a smaller scale system but with actual stuff than massive amounts of absolutely nothing, similar to a certain AAA release.
The DLC exists.
And I played it, and liked it too. Some things I liked more than the base game, others less. I'm not sure I like the more streamlined approach since if you discover some things "early" then you might skip parts of the story/discovery. I love how you get to see more of an alien lifeform. With the Nomai you mostly read about them, and it's mostly about what they're doing. With the Strangers you get to see more of who they are as a people on the stranger and in the dream world.
But to the original point, the DLC is a nice sized expansion, I still think this kind of control scheme would benefit more with bigger worlds though. Smaller worlds works with Outer Wilds because of the loop but I think it would be cool to see what could be done in a game without a loop where you could hop between planets at will.
I liked what they did with the extra environment in the DLC. They could have just made another planet, but they went the extra mile and made that instead. Shame you can't fly your ship around in there, but figuring out where to go literally by just looking up was neat. Also that we never get to translate the alien text was a nice touch.
>Also that we never get to translate the alien text was a nice touch.
One of my first thoughts was to go to the Hearthians at the observatory to see if they could upgrade the translator, and I'm glad the devs knew people would do that and added a new dialogue response.
>I'm glad the devs knew people would do that and added a new dialogue response.
Oh shit, really? I thought it might have been one of those things they missed, like jumping into the ash twin project, at least before they added that in by popular request
Yeah if you talk to Hal about translating the alien language he will say he can do it, but only if you give him a load of samples and several months to work on it. Also did you know if you jump into the ATP black hole a second time, then Self has different dialogue? And there's extra dialogue if you managed to get to the sun station manually without the warp pad (the hotshot achievement)
Landing on the sun station manually is something I boot the game for every so often, the physics are actually fun to play around with.
You get a translator and get told there's writing on the moon. You pretty much go from there and decide to find this eye the Nomai are so interested in, or figure out why the sun explodes.
>I liked what they did with the extra environment in the DLC. They could have just made another planet, but they went the extra mile and made that instead. Shame you can't fly your ship around in there, but figuring out where to go literally by just looking up was neat. Also that we never get to translate the alien text was a nice touch.
My only regret with the DLC is not being able to float in the middle of the colony.
I guess it was done to prevent access to gated zone too quickly but they could have gated that as well so only late game player get a catapult that throw you at the middle.
It took me one or two loops. I remember immediately going to Dark Bramble on my first loop and dying in like 30 seconds. My second loop was Giant's Deep. By that point I was hooked. It's a good thing because the introduction is kinda weak.
ok but why does he have four fingers? every other hearthian has three
I landed on Brittle Hollow, I went exploring. I got inside, saw the black hole, thought 'neat'. I saw my ship plummet towards it; then moments later saw it appear far off. I jumped in after it.

Looking at the stars go supernova in the sky and realizing it was all coming to an end, naturally
Talking to Chert at different points in the cycle and seeing him come to terms with what's happening.
i like that there is plenty of foreshadowing for that reveal. there's a museum exhibit on the thing, chert talks about it (hell, he outright spoils the twist if you talk to him at the end of the loop) and if you tell the guy at the starting campfire the sun is about to explode he basically says "yeah"
i like how after you learn about it on the sun station you can tell him at the start and make him suffer for the whole loop
AAAAAAAH!
>AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
One thing I notice a lot of people miss in streams is Hollow's Lantern. That was particularly interesting to me since I went there fairly early, before reading about the sun station. And I remember thinking oh so they knew a supernova was coming?....or maybe they're responsible for it!? And the feeling of "oh shit" just grew more and more when reading about the sun station, then actually going there.

You may be interested in The Vision mod.
i played it and enjoyed it, fanfic-y but having solanum talk about her house and showing you her toys was very cute.
i suggest The Outsider as well, it adds stuff on the outer parts of dark bramble and adds some really neat puzzles. probably the closest mod to capture the feeling of the main game
I was gonna play that around halloween since I heard it involved Dark Bramble so may or may not be spooky but irl plans meant I was occupied. It's downloaded and ready to go, just got to find the time.
it's like 3 hours tops if you take it slow. wouldn't say it's spooky tho
i wonder what would happen if she left the quantum moon with you. i guess she'd only exist when people are looking at her
the OW universe does seem weird, like the planets really are that small. honestly that didn't bother me. what bothered me is that this clan of nomai lasted very little. one of the guys on the vessel was the mentor of the ash twin project lead scientist, so it must've been three generations at best
>what bothered me is that this clan of nomai lasted very little.
Explore the interloper. There's a way inside of it, but you have to wait until the ice melts when its orbit takes it close to the sun.
i know what happened, i'm just saying the tiimeframe between the vessel arriving in the system and the interloper pullng a prank on the nomais is very short.
granted we don't know how long nomais live but they lasted relatively little since the ash twin project scientist grew up under one of the vessel's survivors
The outer wilds universe seems to go fast in general, since the sun goes from main sequence, to red giant, to supernova in a span of 22 minutes, which is a process that usually takes ages in our universe as the sun fuses heavier elements and finally stops at iron.
yes, in the grand scheme of things it isn't a big pet peeve, just something that felt odd when i pieced together things, considering all the shit they built on the planets
I always figured it's actually meant to go at a regular speed, but it's all done for gameplay purposes.
If they made the Hearthian Sun a red giant at the very start most players would just think "Yeah, checks out that it's going supernova now." But because it starts off looking normal and speedruns the process it looks like something unnatural is happening and you want to investigate.
Yeah, it's a gameplay thing, but I think they just decided to work it into the nature of that universe since nothing works the way it should, particularly black/white hole pairs.
If you go to the probe launcher section that fell into the core, even just on the very first cycle, it says it's performed millions of launches. If you talk to Gabbro on the second loop, he implies he's been in it for a while.
gabbro has been in it as long as you did. if you meet him first loop he talks about a statue looking at him funny. second loop he asks if you had a sense of deja vu, then he pieces things together but decides to just chill without a thought
Ah, so he's just fricking larping then
it's not THAT short, maybe 2-3 generations, which could be a long time for the nomai
So wait, if the Nomai had been dead and gone for billions of years, long enough for the universe to end
Why were thier bones still around and shit? I'm supposed to believe wooden chairs and technology just sit around untouched for that long???
Plot hole???
Not billions, hundreds of thousands I think. Bones should have still decayed to dust by then.
Universe was already frick off levels of old by the time the Nomai arrived, The owlfricks discovered it near the end of its normal lifecycle and delayed it by blocking it's signal.
>delayed it by blocking it's signal
technically not true, the universe would have ended regardless, the signal from the eye is what rebirths it. The owls were close to ruining everything forever
For me it was probably the tower of quantum trials
>Observing a quantum object
>_______________________________
>These are the same.
Never
>trial and error is fun
I like the game but it's too vague to know what to do or where to go
It really isn't. The game gives you at minimum 2 starting options at the start to go explore depending on your dialogue with the launch codes guy, and you can always just go explore wherever you want. There's lots of options so best to not dwell on it too much and just go somewhere as a start.
I love how let's plays of this game are always different. It's the only way I can get the feeling of playing the game for the first time again
>error duplicate signal
It's been a while, what's the context of this?
Dark Bramble fricks with signals and leads you astray to warp holes too small to enter, but launch a probe into one and you get an ERROR DUPLICATE SIGNAL message that you need to follow instead. It's a shame, if the Nomai figured it out then the third escape pods occupants wouldn't have died drifting around in hell. They'd have died from Ghost matter decades later instead.
shooting probe inside the bramble seeds

Is the eye omniscient and sent the interloper to stop the nomai discovering the eye too early in the universe's cycle?
The universe is, and we are.
>entering The Stranger for the first time, hitting the water and looking up
I spent a few cycles just going rafting on the river rapids.
>seeing the dam break for the first time
Waking up in the dream world seeing the bodies gone. Hearing the eerie music, actually SEEING one across the river.
i got to see the strangers in the woods fricking scream and disappear when the dam hit.
Same, when it first happened to me I thought it was some detection mechanic or something and that's why I was removed. It wasn't until later that I realised what was actually happening.
They deserved it. Ironically, what they did saved the prisoner, so it's extra funny.
Didnt save him for very long. They flew away from the supernova, but all the stars are burnt out on a ship powered by solar panels
>Didn't save him for very long
At least a few hundred thousand years, but at that point I would've call it saved
i do wonder, why didn't the prisoner blow his artifact to kill himself? i know i would after thousands of years inside a locked room
He turned off the jammer, he probably didn't want to kill himself because then there was no chance of anyone finding the eye again. Once he realises that you were on the verge of finding it thanks to the Nomai, he was at peace and finally could die. At least that's how I took it.
and absolute kino soundtrack drops too
how do you even top this fricking game
The game even has a separate entrance for your first time entering it since you approach it from outside the solar system rather than from inside of it, so you get that drop into the water where the music starts playing immediately, every other time you go there you'll end up using the entrance that opens up on the shore we raft ready to go.
it's really basic level design but it blows my fricking mind
it all boils down to how to work around something shaped like a coin
one side reserved for the whole spectacle of your first time
the other for your usual investigation
it's like keeping the spectacle of a cutscene yet there's no cutscene at all
maybe i'm making it a bigger deal than it is but shit like this goes unnoticed and underappreciated
also there's close to no dangers of getting on the wrong side by accident since the stranger is floating away from the planets orbits where you go back and forth in the base game
i would love to hear the devs come up with ideas for the game
>i would love to hear the devs come up with ideas for the game
It's not exactly what you're looking for, but the creators were indeed on a podcast and explained how they came up with certain ideas for the DLC:
Was the loop already happening before the first cycle and your memories just weren’t being transferred? or does the sun just happen to explode on that day at that time?
The loop is always going on, it's just that you become aware of it because of the statue. Technically, you've died billions of times at that point.
The loop can only happen because of the sun exploding because that's what powers the loop, and yes the loop was happening before the first cycle the player experiences. If you go to the tracking module it lists the total number of loops and the number where the Eye was found, so with that you can work out how many loops happened before the player becomes part of the loop
you find the answer in the probe module inside giant's deep there have been at least 9 million loops before, the system is designed so that living beings don't get tied to it until the probe finds the eye coordinates or the project fails
It's been happening millions of times over, but you're only made aware after the nine-millionth or so time because the probe finally got shot in a direction that coincided with the eyes location. So now the system needs to make people aware of the loop to turn it off and go get the eye, unfortunately the creators are extinct and instead it's pulled in a clueless primitive astronaut instead.
Literal NPC
nice argument frick face, you just like a bad game, go read a book or something
Literal NPC confirming its NPC status.
The loop started with the first supernova and has been going on since. The statue in observatory gets activated only after the eye is found by a probe giving you awareness.
>completely oblivious to quantum moon until it gets pointed out
>"a teleporting moon? nah I haven't seen that this entire time-"
>"HOLY SHIT A TELEPORTING MOON"
The nomai are right too, it is cute and a friend
I only found out on youtube long after I quit playing. The intro to this game was so lame I never made it to the first end.
I love the game, but the intro makes it look like some lame "zany" experience which has probably turned a lot of people off and may even be the reason why a few people in this thread are shitting on it. That or it's just Ganker being Ganker, I dunno.
>intro lets you get right into the action straight away or gives you time to try out the mechanics at your own pace
>lame
The intro is objectively one of the best game tutorials there is. The problem is you.
>only one except those experiencing the time-loop to realise what's happening
>his last moments are having a huge crisis
>you can comfort him by telling him it's a loop and it'll be ok
Can you tell them you're ending the loop?
nah, what's worse is that when they show up at the end campfire that isn't even them, but your memory of them. They're completely, unrecoverably dead.
I mean, so are you when you trigger the next Big Bang. You spend the whole game trying to escape the fate of being blown up by a sun and you end it getting blown up by a new universe forming.
I don't think that's true and I don't think it's not true, I think an element of them is brought along that's more than just a memory though it's separate from their physical bodies. The Prisoner's apprehension of joining the campfire because he feels like he shoulders the sins of his race for sure isn't something you've created out of your memories of him, it's something more
Yes and no. As soon as you enter the eye, the entire universe gets fricked in that instant, so literally everything is dead and gone, and you are the only living thing left, stuck in a state of superposition until you collapse the possibilities. So everything you see both exists, more than a memory, and doesn't, in that it's all subject to your perceptions.
That's not how quantum phenomena actually works, but it's a cool mind trip, so I'll let it slide.
the point of the ending is that everyome lives on the shoulder of giants. the next universe inherits the passion for campfires and probably exploration. hell, even the prisoner leaves something after you meet him.
also i think they're based on your memories but also what they genuinely are they themselves
>wait did that exploding fragment fly off in a different direction?
>some loops later enter OPC and see the composite trajectory diagram and it finally clicks
I think glowies should make a list of all the joyless 2016 election tourist shitting on this game and calling it a walking simulator and take them out with a bullet in the head.
This is a false flag if I've ever seen one. Why not go and do something you enjoy instead of trying to cause drama? It's such a homosexual behavior.
>Why not go and do something you enjoy instead of trying to cause drama?
Good advice, all the people making silly comments about why they hate the game should go to another thread.
>Shit spreader calling out others and saying they're the problem
Same thread happened a few hours ago with the same homosexuals circling the thread like a cloud of mosquitoes posting the same posts until we end up with half the thread talking about the game and the other half being them crying about le reddit game.
Black person.
>Same thread happened a few hours ago
This is a new cycle anon, enjoy it while it lasts
It's a shame you couldn't tell Gabbro you were ending the loop and ask him to come with you. It would've been fun to try and "save" all the travellers (or at the very least Gabbro) as an optional bonus, it should be possible in the time you have and it would add an extra challenge. Obviously convincing them wouldn't be too easy, but with Gabbro he would've understood why you were going at least.
How do you save them? You're not saving anyone, you're only saving the memories you have of them and the world and reaching the heart of the universe so you can be used during the next big bang to nurture the next universe. You die in the process, if you went though the troubles of bringing them with you they'd die too anyway. It's over for this universe for everyone. It's a story about letting go and thinking about the legacy you leave behind.
Which was why I said "save" in quotation marks. But it would still have been a fun little thing to do gameplay wise.
>watching friend play through the DLC
>They get to the forbidden archive where you learn dying around the fire allows you to wake up in the sim and be immune to the bells
>it takes like 3 hours for them to realise this
I blame the light on the bridge in the casket area, i've seen multiple people conclude they have to somehow turn the light off of the bridge to pass by the bells EVEN after being shown literally what the solution is via the reels
i remember i was tired and i too wasted a good hour trying to get past the bells
tested any overcomplicated hypotesis but killing myself
still waking up in the dream after killing yourself was kino
How can you call this a game when it has no gameplay? Also the athiest propaganda makes this game L-tief
>atheist propaganda
>when nothing in the game confirms wether there's a creator behind the universe or not
never ever ever saw a single anti outer wild poster with an IQ above room temp
Technically speaking, the universe does have a creator, and it's always a member of the previous universe that shapes it via the eye
Yeah but if you take a step back and consider things with a bigger scope you don't truly know what's the eye, and you still don't know what created life to begin with. It's the egg and the chicken kinda type of situation too.
Space, bisexual aliens, le science worship, le all made of stardust is all athiest propaganda made to make you demoralized
>bisexual aliens
Asexual. The real kind. They're probably built like a slug.
I stopped playing in the dlc, found the lamp and went into the fake VR world but never tried dropping the lamp. Is there a lot more to play by that point, is it worth going back to it?
I didn't play for a long time so maybe I'll try revisiting all the planets, anyone tried playing it after a long time being away from it? Can you still enjoy rediscovering it or is it really a game you can't replay?
You really can only play it once, unless you cause targeted amnesia, let us know if you figure that one out.
The DLC is the gameplay of solving the Quantum Moon applied at a larger scale in that you just need to be taught the "rules" of VR and that's how you beat the game.
If you did one of them, you have 2 left, depending on how quick you solve them you've got 2~4 hours left of the game, but the ending to the DLC both has the most emotional high and the best music in the game.
Go finish it, time buddy
That's cool I thought I had like only 15-20 minutes left.
I have a brain that generally forgets a lot details so playing a few years after is decent.
Possibly the most Reddit game I have ever played. I dropped it halfway through and Youtubed it and was stunned by how reddit it was.
for me it was when I flew far out of the solar system and synced all the songs up
>instruments go out one by one as the supernova grows larger
boring poorly made walking sim, dropped it ~2hrs in cause of boredom
What are the best playthroughs of this game? I long for the vicarious thrill of seeing others play for the first time.
Honestly, go to the category on twitch and find someone playing for the first time, and interact with them as they play. Watching someone without sharing that experience becomes super hollow, being able to share that wonder contributes so much, it's why so many people are made from the PoV of people watching their friends play

Can't make this shit up
how does it feel knowing your post is barely more than pissing in the wind and it won't do anything to stop this thread from reaching the bump limit?
It's ok, this thread is just the same devs talking to each other over and over either way.
You got me man. I'm an outer wilds dev participating in an organised shilling campaign on Ganker, four years after the fact. You figured it all out.
You are a moron and you don’t play video games. You will never accept people talking about video games you don’t like because you are a joyless homosexual. Take a break from being a paranoid moron and go outside. Or just take a break from technology so you can learn to enjoy things again. You are a loser.
This guy doing it in VR, figures out a lot on his own and does some amazing movement slingshots. Great sense of humour too.
AboutOliver. He's an astrophysics student so he's super interested in everything going on and is quite thorough. Downsides are he's quite a pussy and gets a little too excited at times.
I'm probably moronic but I couldn't finish this game. Couldn't even get halfway through it to be honest. I quit in some sort of underground city full of platforming challenges and a black hole down there, except if you fail any platforming part you need to restart EVERYTHING. Frick that shit.
>You need to restart EVERYTHING
There's nothing stopping you from slingshotting around the black hole and making more progress from it than if you were to do traverse the planet normally
I can give you three reasons.
>that moronic strategy would probably include lots of failures, meaning lots of restarts
>the platforming isn't even hard enough to warrant that, it's just that it was built for you to fail at least once in each part in order to learn how it's supposed to be done
>finally I don't even know where the frick the game wanted me to get to, I explored an entire alien city and still couldn't tell if I was missing anything
Actually I think I got through that part. Eventually I found a text sending me to a snowy place? Still quit anyway
To add to
there is nothing stopping you from flying your ship under the planet's crust.
Take your meds, anon.
Did anyone else think the big icons on the log were endings to the game? When I went to the quantum moon I thought for sure that was the way to get to the eye and to one of the endings.
>I'm going to enter a thread I don't like about a game I don't like and have no interest in and just b***h all day long instead of going to a thread I am interested in

Imagine keeping this up for years and not even winning against them.
Is Subnautica really like OW? I crave this experience again.
Not really the same but I thought it was a good game regardless. I liked dredge too for its exploration, but I don't think many here would agree.
Play Return of the Obra Dinn if you haven't already. Similar situation in that knowledge of the game is progress in the game.
Return of the obra dinn put me to sleep. What's so great about it? Reached the part with the sea weirdos attacking the ship mounted on sea crabs and harpooning everyone, and was tired of just discovering scenes after scenes without feeling anything for it. It had no flow, the moment a game "clicks" never happened for me with this one, it's just trying to figure out who's who watching random gay seamen (lol) getting killed.
>What's so great about it?
Slowly uncovering an old mystery to learn the truth of what really happened. Figuring out the relationships between the characters through subtle clues and tiny details. The music, the voice acting, the atmosphere, the aesthetic. Uncovering each scene is really only the beginning of the game, actually figuring out what's going on and why it's happening is the meat of the game. I love noir film and have a huge boner for detective stories so Obra Dinn clicked for me immediately. I loved it for the same reasons I loved Outer Wilds. It's ok if it's not for you though.
Slightly similar but it's much more gameplay heavy. And scary.
Don't play the sequel, it sucks.
It tickled the same exploration itch for me, but is far more progression through crafting oriented, but I didn't mind it.
I had to look that one up as well. Also yes
Yes, but really no. There's a story that unfolds through environmental storytelling, but the game is about staying alive, harvesting materials, and going to riskier places once you can build better tech.
I've played a lot of games that people say are like OW, the closest by far is Tunic
>make a super cool discovery
>land
>get stuck on a terrain/jumping bug
Really ruins my enjoyment sadly
Is this game woke?
Yes the fish people don't conform to human gender norms and there is even mention of A GAY.
It has very mild levels of woke you might not even notice. It's not a detriment to the game at all, I'm an unironic National Socialist and I enjoyed the game.

Walking simulator with extra steps, and it does not have the music, visuals, or narration to justify being a walking simulator. Wish I could say I was surprised, but Ganker only jerks off garbage nowadays.
it's ok to be a brainlet, anon. there's plenty of low attention span games for you out there.
It's also okay to be easily entertained, anon. A new walking simulator comes out every day on Steam, you'll never be lacking in amusement.
Try not to drool too much on the keyboard, though.
>too dumb to enjoy game so he resorts to calling those who do enjoy it dumb to cope
tale as old as time
>too stupid to see a game is lazy and uninteresting, so he resorts to calling others attention-deficit to cope
indeed it is
What? Lazy is one thing the game is not. Pretentious? Maybe. But the game is carefully crafted with love and care
How is the game not lazy, anon. No voice acting, NPCs almost all look the same. Planets are tiny and the environments are almost entirely empty of detail.
You are confusing a game being creative with it having passion.
This, it shouldve had an open world minimap with collectibles and constant radio transmissions from famous voice actors
Your moronic, unrelated hyperbole does not do anything to dismiss my valid criticism. The NPCs don't even fricking move. The game is lazy. Why is it so hard for you dumbfricks to accept you like a game that just isn't that good?
>The game is lazy.
if you don't go beyond the absolute surface level, sure
Why is it so hard to accept you don't like a good game?
Some of the greatest games ever made dont have voice acting
And this indie walking simulator is not one of them.
Again, you just keep deflecting to unrelated garbage like that changes anything of what I said.
The lack of voice acting isn't unrelated at all to what you said though?
Seems like youre accusing others of that you are actually doing
>you like a game that just isn't that good?
This game is literally just space Myst, and I fricking loved Myst. The game revolves around the mystery and solving it, that is, using your fricking brain for once instead of having your hand held through a cinematic experience, which most games are.
*AHEM*...

Not played the DLC then
I already said I played maybe around 3-4 hours total. Feel free to cope by saying that's not enough to see if the game's good or not.
Ngl anon you might just be moronic. I recommend installing Fortnite and Minecraft, ok? More your speed.
you tried this one already, anon. you're only proving me right.
Yes it is okay to be easily entertained but getting that entertainment from brainless shitposting is not okay. Please re-locate to another thread, preferable on a topic you actually want to discuss.
I posted my opinion about a game I played. The fact you don't like or share this opinion does not concern me, sounds like maybe you should leave the thread and go somewhere like Reddit where your opinion can be echoed and exclusively displayed.
Yes you're totally here to share your opinion and not single-handedly shit up the whole thread. You're lucky IDs aren't a thing here otherwise your little hobby wouldn't be possible.
I know you're a moronic schizo and won't believe me anyway (you have to be mentally handicapped in some way to enjoy the game so it makes sense) but this is the second time I've ever posted about this game, the first one being 3 or so months ago when I played the game originally.
Again, I do mean this as an insult but also as a general recommendation. Go to reddit. You'll be happier there. And possibly also a doctor, you schizoid.
Problem is youre walking and talking like the local duck(s). Not anon's fault he thought you were a duck
>I'm just here to share my opinion, and call everything I don't like reddit, and call people who like a video game mentally handicapped, I dindu nuthing y u no liek me?
Yeah toooootally not trolling.
sorry bud, I'll not call it reddit next time if it offends your sensibilities, okay sweetie?
is the dlc worth it? loved the game, tried my hardest to beat the game blind but i did end up having to look up a guide at the very end for how to get into the ash twin centre because i was SLIGHTLY doing it wrong
yes
It's absolutely worth it.
>is the dlc worth it?
Absolutely. The story it adds ties in perfectly with the main game and it's just different enough to feel new but still familiar. I was surprised at how long it was too. Definitely worth.
If you liked the game, you'll like the DLC. It's more knowledge puzzles, more learning by exploring. It's good.
the dlc is abaolutely worth it. you may get stuck on a certain puzzle but if you are thorough with your exploration you'll put 2 and 2 together.
at least there aren't puzzles like the ash twin entrance where you may have the right idea, fail the execution and not realized you failed it
>at least there aren't puzzles like the ash twin entrance where you may have the right idea, fail the execution and not realized you failed it
I unironically like that. Outer Wilds is really non-linear, but the ATP is the one exception because it really should be found last. The warp core that turns off the loop is in there, along with a bunch of information that lays out the entire story for you.
Once you find everything else, you KNOW you have to find the ATP next. And if you go over your notes again, you know that they finished construction of the ATP shell, so it cannot be entered, unless you warped. And you know you get warped when the warp tower points at the center of the planet, which is between the twins in this case. And you know that there is an Ash Twin tower on the Ash Twin, so where does that teleport you?
The game really leaves you with one final thing to do and you just know it has to happen with that specific warp tower at the exact moment it points at the spot between the two twin planets. And then it doesn't work. So you try again, but maybe slightly differently. With all the info you got, you just won't find any information elsewhere. You are where you're supposed to be and you have to make it work. Whether that's through blocking the ceiling with your ship so no sand goes through (that didn't work, but I tried that) or through using a downward thrust with your jetpack so you stick to the ground. Or you use the info about how you have a three degree window, which I believe means that you can still use the warp pad when the sand pillar is gone.
If you really wanted to make sure that warp tower worked, you could also just put your scout on the warp pad. It sticks to it and gets teleported away, and then you can take photos of inside the ATP.
tl;dr: Yeah, you might fail the execution even with the right idea, but then you can just go progress elsewhere. This is to make sure getting into the ATP is the last thing you do.
>blocking the ceiling with your ship so no sand goes through (that didn't work, but I tried that) or through using a downward thrust with your jetpack so you stick to the ground
Literally me lmao
>If you really wanted to make sure that warp tower worked, you could also just put your scout on the warp pad. It sticks to it and gets teleported away, and then you can take photos of inside the ATP.
ALSO me (should've read the whole thing before replying) and yeah I agree, making it harder so you're more likely to find it last makes finding it so much more enjoyable. I saw one video of someone playing the game and they got inside the ATP before making it to the sun station, which made things a bit less enjoyable finding out about the sun station before getting there.
It's great. The DLC has its own, separate story that I still sometimes think about. The main puzze/goal of the DLC and the Eureka moment you get near the end was better to me than any Eureka moment in the main game.
It's not without its problems, though. In the main game, if you repeatedly fail and you're sorta stuck somewhere, you can just go to a different planet and progress somewhere else and come back later to try again. The DLC feels much more linear. I had moments where I only had one path to progress and if I failed and ran out of time, I just had to go back and retry the same thing. Occasionally felt like I was wasting my time, especially when I was failing at something that felt doable and I was just doing it sorta wrong.
The devs went through multiple patches trying to make that answer more obvious and it's still moronic
>tfw too much of a pussy for EotE
You can do it, just keep in mind that you are the invader
>spoiler
Kek. That happened to me too. My timing was just slightly off every time.
For me it was the core of Giant's Deep. Something about being under water and listening to the electric hum building really sets off my 'I really wish I weren't here right now' response. I already don't like being in deep water but that hum made it way worse.
Space walks though? No problem lol. I think it must be something to do with visibility.
I never actually finished the game, but I still thought it was a solid 8/10.
reddit: The game
>ip count never goes up when the shitposter makes another bait
>ip count never goes up when the shill pretends to be someone new that never played the game
I wonder what face you'll make you fat shit when I call the cops after planting cp on your phone.
since i avoided these threads to avoid spoilers, have they always had people shitting on the game in them?
the same handful of npcs, yeah
The more Ganker likes a game, the more contrarians pop up. And with a game like this where many people absolutely love it, the harder the contrarians go to work. It's a proportional response. And it started soon after people started saying they liked it.
Usually, some games are genuinely bad and Ganker rightfully shits on them, but it's easy enough to tell when it's because Ganker is being contrarian. This is one of those times.
yes, and it's the same posts every time which i'm sure the irony is lost on them when they claim the posts singing the games praises are always the same too
The threads were really cosy for the first few years, then the shitting on the game started after the DLC came out and the game went on steam-sale.
guys how spooky is the DLC? I've heard there's a lot of jumpscares and I fricking hate jumpscares
Less spooky than the base game so if you liked that you'll be fine
It's not. They're being oversensitive. It's a little intimidating staring down the big guys, and they do employ some tactics to grab you, but it's not very intense if you've ever played a scary game with some kind of pursuer in your life.
A bit spooky but I don't recall any actual jumpscares. There's one that might be considered one but even that's a bit vague
Much spookier than the main game, but there's nothing "jumpscary" in it. It's just really eerie. I can think of one legitimately scary thing, but not as much of a jumpscare as, say, an anglerfish suddenly looking at you and screaming.
I thought it was pretty spooky, but then I'm pretty bad with horror games and played with the music set pretty loud which I do recommend
Dear Ganker,
Keep good games out of your brown, poison minds.
Thank you,
Humanity
First seeing the black hole

I wish I had nothing to do in my life other than play videogames like you guys. It's been over a year since I turned on my gaming rig 'cause this year has been constant studying. It gave me multiple stable jobs though so I can pick and choose once the time comes.
why did you post this
Because I want a normal life. This year has been crazy. I want to play BG3 and Dead Space Remake but I feel like I've drafted into a war.
So have you posted that in every thread on Ganker then or what, seems like you have better things to do frankly
Can you gays stop replying to this tard? The whole reason he's here is because he can't stand anyone liking a thing he doesn't, he's desperate for board consensus and literally will not stop arguing until he gets it. You can't reason with him in any way.
I wonder if it's not deeper than this. I remember the threats of corporate scums about free speech and online communities and how ((they)) aren't afraid to poison the well and make the little places we still have to talk freely unbearable in order for us to move to their controlled apps.
Not hard for them to hire pajets or launch bots to shit up the place. All good threads are always under attack and I don't think it's just a bunch of schizos. Or if it is it's useful idiots, same way tards and degenerates are weaponized by alphabet agencies using discord.
When the music started playing in the main menu (i.e. literally a few seconds after starting the game).
There is ONE other game that has had that much SOUL in a loading screen and it was fricking Far Cry of all things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tduQHQHXG_0
There's even more to the main menu that just the feel.
Far Cry 5 had such good music, too bad it was wasted on that ggame
I don't remember at what point I thought it was ludo kino but it reached apex kino when I started the final loop and the end times opened up into the final voyage
That was some good shit. Especially with the contrast of having to slow down despite trying to hurry the frick up
I'm disappointed in the amount of playthroughs I've seen where they reach that point and say "why is the supernova music playing? it's too early!" despite it clearly being a very different track to signify the ATP being shut down even if it has some similarities. It was easily one of the best moments of the game soundtrack wise and they don't even notice it despite wearing headphones.
>when the music starts after leaving ash twin with the core
Did you know that the ship has an eject button? I used it for the first time during the final run when I was about to be eaten by an angler. Shot the wienerpit right into a seed.
My favourite part of the game I think. Getting into AT was the last thing I had to solve so I had everything planned out after I got in there. I knew what I had to do, the game knew it, the music played. Perfection.
>fly too far away from the solar system
>start having panic attacks
am i the only one? same shit happened in subnautica when i tried swimming beyond the edge of the map
Nah, that's just fear of being lost in a bottomless void.
Both games are phobia bonanzas
>fear of being lost in a bottomless void
doesn't sound like a normal fear
I'm like the opposite, I freak out having to approach massive celestial objects. It's why I took forever to land in Giant's deep because diving into a gas giant/star or black hole are some of my greatest fears. I also never tried going for the sun station for that reason.
It's also why I couldn't play Elite Dangerous after a while because the fricking game catapults you in front of the star every time you jump to a new system lol.
It's something about being totally helpless and out of control against the overwhelming gravity of the object
Did you know that after a certain point, gravity isn't even what's pulling you towards a black hole? It's your literal future, in a real and very physical sense.
apparently you at your human size can't even fall into a black hole because of some advanced astronomy shit I don't understand but regardless just being near such massive objects freaks me out.
I can't even zoom in on black holes in stellaris or universe sandbox lol, but I still have a fascination with it
Normally this didn't happen to me, however flying away from the solar system after deactivating the ATP, that's a different feeling. Seeing the supernova knowing this time it's happening for real, and then it fades away, and there's nothing. Even more spooky if you have the signalscope out and can only hear the crackle noise.
When I chased after the probe and found out you could actually catch up with it and look at it up close. Of course there's nothing to do once you're there, so you just sit in the void outside the solar system waiting for the supernova.
I had this happen to me hard when I played Space Engine. Flying to the edge of the Milky Way and slowly watching the stars thin out into nothingness, having your entire screen go black. Fricking terrifying. I literally had to turn around and face backwards as I moved away, so I could watch the galaxy dwindle behind me.
I beat the game on Nov 9th, 2020, so it fit well with what was happening.

For me it was when I reached the part where you activate the hyper loop and go further back in time to join the battle between the Nomai and the Owlfolk.
That's when it get awesome.
It let you prevent the firing of the Sun Exploder, preventing the star from going Nova too soon, and going back into the future it lead you straight to the endgame where you have to fight the creature who launched the deadly crystals and destroy Dark Bramble.
Don't forget to upgrade your spacesuit with the waterproof soul-flame module, it's a real time saver.
what made you post this?
i mindbroke him a couple of posts before
hack game
Duplicating the probe in the demonstration room and my first time encountering anglers in Dark Bramble. Also meeting yourself after jumping into the hole.
not reading the thread now to avoid spoilers, but this game is filling me with awe, what a delightful experience
the feeling of pure adventure and discovery into the unknown, unfiltered, unscripted
people calling it a walking sim are insane
it IS a walking sim tho. well, flying sim.
also yeah, leave this thread asap
>not reading the thread now to avoid spoilers
Best possible choice. Only get the DLC after you have finished the main game.
>Only get the DLC after you have finished the main game.
I strongly recommend the opposite. Discovering the things the DLC adds organically without knowing what it's supposed to be is way too amazing to pass up.
And FYI, it DOESN'T lock you out of alternate endings if you do it.
This, the DLC is kind of in its own corner away from most of the game, but it does add some small things. Not knowing where it starts and ends is probably for the best, but I also wouldn't be surprised if someone managed to miss it entirely.
lining up multiple signals on different moving planets and realizing the different instruments sync up
One of the biggest complaints is that the game is "pretentious". But the shitposters shitposting against the game use the most pretentious arguments ever such as "forced soul". Some claim that those who like the game think they're super smart (they actually don't) yet they miss the irony that they themselves are trying to get one up over the fake "smart" people because they themselves are the real "smart" people.
I really gotta finish the DLC

The base game was very frustrating for me because I was dead certain on everything I needed to do, but I tried like 20 times to get to the ATP and the tornado sucked me up despite trying to run on the platform at like every stage of the vortex and I literally spent 11 hours looking for something I missed when it was literally the game just having a really shit puzzle because even if you did it right the vortex could still lift you away sometimes.
Really soured what would have been a brilliant 'oh frick' moment when you realize the significance of removing the core and what that means when you get in there. I'm surprised there hasn't been a patch to make it easier to get in there, because I've watched other people have the exact same problem and give up just like I did.
Everything in the DLC was pure kino though. The ending was brilliant and the way you piece what you need to do together (and how you can stumble upon some of it by accident but not understand the significance) was great.
>even if you did it right the vortex could still lift you away sometimes
If you did it right this would never happen, you probably just went too early/too late. The game even gives you some generous leeway which it explicitly tells you about. The centre point of the window would have the column of sand going directly upwards at a 90 degree angle and you have many seconds before and after to make the warp.
No way man, unless it was patched very recently the window is way less than that and whether or not the vortex pulls you is semi-random. Literally EVERYONE I've watched play has had trouble on that exact spot even if they have a perfect understanding of what they need to do. I've even seen fricking speedrunners that know everything get lifted right off and missing the teleport. That part is fundamentally broken
for me it was even more moronic
>realize there are towers on ash twin that teleport you around
>find the twins tower
>use the teleporter and i get moved to ember twin
>read that the sky hole should point to the center of the body mass
>go to other planets trying to time the teleporter so it activates right when it's pointing to ash twin and not ember twin
>still doesn't work
>try to time the delay because there was a delay or something
>still nothing
>desperately go back to the tower on ash twin (the on that teleports you to ember twin).
>literally stay there in the middle, give up and look a walkthrough while shift-tabbed
>turns out there is actually a second tower right in front of me and that one teleports you to ash twin
i thought it was a single tower per astral body, and the twins were usually considered as a single planet from what i understood. i brainfatred so hard i wanted to kys myself
The one question I always try to steer people towards when watching them play is "why does Ash Twin have a tower teleporting you to Ash Twin"
That's honestly a skill issue on your part. I remember the little alcove you could hide in to wait for the tornado to show up wasn't there at the beginning, devs only added it later. It's piss easy to just hide there and wait for the right moment.
People misunderstand that puzzle, and usually the ones who “figure it out” have bullshitted it anyway. What you’re supposed to do is stand OFF the platform, and shoot the scout onto it. Wait for the scout to disappear as your cue to run on. The reason is the tornado actually hits BEFORE the platform turns on, but the tornado won’t pull the scout since it’s fixed to the floor
People don’t realize this and just assume it’s “finicky” and eventually get lucky leaping on without a timing guide
See what I mean?
Nobody actually understands that puzzle, even “speedrunners” (why you’d speedrun a puzzle game I have no idea)
I never thought that the teleporters would work for the scout. It just never crossed my mind. Frick I'm stupid.
The problem is the puzzle is still “solvable” without figuring it out so most people don’t realize they’re missing part of the solution, they just think it’s badly designed. You can imagine a game where people solve a jigsaw puzzle from scratch because they don’t realize that part of the task is finding the box lid to know what the picture is. It’s still doable, but harder, and you have no immediate sense that there’s an additional step that would make it easier
I tried and bounced off this game twice so far, picked up the edition with the DLC recently and gonna try again but with the VR mod this time.
>and? the outer universe could easily have gorillion-times higher computational limits so it's a non-issue
Not a gorillion, infinite. In order to simulate a single elementary particle, its properties, motions and position and interactions, you would need a computer arbitrarily larger than an elementary particle. You would need to do this for every single elementary particle in the entire universe, and the computational power needed to simulate their interactions grows exponentially. Simulating the universe would require a computer of infinite size.
>Everything could be simulated properly
This is an actual baseless statement. Math breaks down when dealing with infinities, either they don't really exist, or they only kind of do and we can't calculate past them.
You don't know what you're talking about, your bullshit is all dunning-kruger.
In a mathematical sense, it's a singularity, all that means is that the math breaks down and our rules stop applying. Theoretically, it could go to another, inverted universe, and that would solve the infinity problem, on the other hand, what it could be doing is just launching itself further into its own future until the whole thing evaporates. So singularities might only exist very briefly from its own relative position, and we can't see it because we can't retrieve information from the future, which is what a black hole does to spacetime.
>Simulating the universe would require a computer of infinite size.
this isn't true, our universe's complexity has already been calculated. also we have a lot of constants (speed of light, plank time, etc..) that limit the computational complexity. the outer universe wouldn't even have the same elementary particles as ours, so that's absolutely not a problem
>Math breaks down when dealing with infinities, either they don't really exist, or they only kind of do and we can't calculate past them.
assuming that the outer universe has the same maths is a baseless assumption. also physics/math are simply obervations of reality, not the actual laws, so there's nothing stopping a very advance computer to simulate infinity properly
This is a bunch of "dude, what if"s, simulation theory has to be proven, not disproven, and inventing a bunch of maybes to support the argument doesn't prove anything but you being a homosexual. I can throw out any argument I like, but you can just arbitrarily invent points to refute them, which is midwit b***h behaviour and how I know you know nothing about the field but what other midwits say in geek articles.
>mental breakdown without arguments
guess i won. read about bostrom's arguments before throwing another fit and then come back
>bostrom
Philosophers are midwits, what they have to say is irrelevant to me.
>ad hominem
Yeah the latter might be true, and I think this would support the Heat death hypothesis for the end of the universe, which is kinda depressing
Everything has to go eventually, which, haha, is the point of Outer Wilds. I think it's more depressing that if heat death is how we're gonna go, then that means boltzmann brains may be possible, and then there's no way of knowing that isn't what's happening now. We could be making these shitposts eons apart, and not even in sequential order.
Just tell them that Ash Twin has two towers, I find that's a stronger hint at what's going on. Optionally tell them it has twin towers on the funny date.
Yeah I just have a problem with these theories because it's just unsolveable, there's no proving or disproving that and I think that just makes a bad theory and adds nothing but existential dread
>this anon still doesn't realize that our universe was created 1 second ago and all his memories are implanted
ngmi
My faith in my experiences is too strong to ever consider any version of that mentality.
Existential dread really only happens when you feel a need to control things you can't control. It's what most fear comes from. Some people can make peace with not having control, and some people would rather die. Until anything is proven with no reasonable doubt, you might as well not even care about it, which is pretty much just controlling yourself. Then fear stops being a thing.
You're not going to be thrown at a huge celestial body anytime soon, and virtual ones aren't real.
Here's an actual argument then. Philosophers deal with thought experiments, and since they can't even agree with each other how human thought even works, none of their experiments have any kind of satisfying conclusion. They all end with "Maybe, maybe not"
I'm gonna go fap.
you don't even know what philosphy is...
All I know is that my ex went into mind sciences and has suggested for years that my disdain for her field is just me expressing my sexual frustration, and I suggested that she's full of shit and that me expressing my sexual frustration would involve a mating press.
kek, based. you should still read more about philosophy THO
falling into Brittle Hollow and suddenly being in near complete darkness
feels good being able to quick save/load irl but everytime a quickload my future memories get wiped in order to not go insane
I thought this was shit. The gameplay boiled down to being nothing but those moonlander flash games and I've got no idea how it was so praised.
i think you can't enjoy it if you still finished your elementary school's reading course
the gameplay is about moving your character to locations and learning information to better move your character to the correct locations
the game as a whole is about figuring out an ancient history and mysteries of that universe while viewing interesting planet/space related phenomenons
morons should have sent a probe first
They found the eye just fine. It's not like they fricked that part up. It's just they misunderstood its purpose.

>THIS GAME IS LIKED BY REDDIT REEEEEE
can election tourists go back to sucking off Don Zion now please?
reddit==neoGanker, for the most part
that a Black person likes a thing won't stop me from also liking thing.
being contrarian isn't a personality
When they actually managed to improve the game over the dinky little tech demo.
I thought it was doomed when I saw they artificially cordoned off half the planets with invisible walls in a later demo, but fricking hell was I wrong.
