I don't dislike the game, but honestly the way its discussed made it out to be way more than it is. People were saying to go in as blind as possible and that the supernova is a huge moment for them but it wasn't all that huge of a moment for me. The game was fun but it wasn't life altering for me really.
>>727767058
>>727767058Uh-oh, you didn't say Outer Wilds is an 11/10 masterpiece. The cult, I mean fanbase isn't gonna like that.
>>727767058>hasn't finished it
>>727767058Even recommending to go in as blind as possible spoils the game. Your imagination will probably conjure something that's more crazy than the game can offer, provided you can conjure an apple in your mind.
>>727767058Your post is kinda vague. Did you finish the game?
>>727767490OP didn't even eat breakfast this morning
yeah overhyped for sure but i did really enjoy solving the mystery and found myself waiting to be able to continue playing it
>>727767058it's journalistcore made for fans of pop science and Big Bang theory. I'm not saying the game doesn't have innovative elements but it's draped in this horrible veneer of cartoon "FEELGOODFEELGOOFEELGOOD" bullshit that's hard to stomach.
>>727767058How simple or complex it is all depends on your views of the subject matter. Gameplay-wise it's just a fun little puzzle game, especially the DLC was really fun when you figure out the alien matrix.
It's simple : every game that /v/ hypes to high heavens is a waste of money
It was a unique experience, I'll give the game that. It feels incredibly rewarding when everything clicks. But it was too vague in some areas. I exhausted all hints twice, and the game expected me to explore each planet all over again. This shit can fuck right off. Also, the visuals are downright atrocious. The fanbase seems to have approached tendie levels of elitism and zealotry where any kind of criticism is immediately met with hostility.
>>727768498>FEELGOODFEELGOOFEELGOODwhat?everything you come across is horrifying on a cosmic level. it's so awful that people grow overly attached to the few moments of respite the game gives you.
>retard spoils the story/setting for him with letsplays/whatever>akshually it wasn't that good of a game
>"Here's your spaceship, bro.">it's made out of woodPeople expect me to take this game seriously.
>>727769943PURE SOVL
>"Here's your spaceship, bro.">it's made out of woodSOUL
>>727769605I often pitch the game as cosmic horror.So many random shit can kill you, it's incredible the devs thought of them all.
>>727770132I honestly wanted there to be more cosmic horror or maybe horrific mystery that makes my imagination run wild.
>>727767357>>727767490I did finish the game, I did enjoy a decent amount of moments but overall I left the experience feeling like it was decent. I just don't feel like I have a lot of thoughts based on it. I guess I have a few theories on why things are the way they are but it isn't an experience I think I will hold with me for a really long time.
>>727769605>>727770132>>727770491nothing cosmic about this game. It takes place in space but it might as well be in an oversized bathtub for how unimpressive and plain everything feels.
>>727767058you know... I first saw this post >>727767217then read your post, and I have to agree, you are brown.>>727767375>Your imagination will probably conjure something that's more crazy than the game can offerthats good, because that magical moment is something I don't get to experience too often.A game can be great, but your imagination let you experience something even better.
>>727771369Why did it take you one hour to respond?Did you use a guide? If so, how many times?Did you explore the quantum moon?
>>727767058Why can't you make a thread with substance?
>>727772221Because I started playing Nuclear Throne and forgot I made the thread lolVery few times I used a "guide" although I never looked anything up, I did ask someone who had played the game before me to push me in the right direction a few times. I don't have an exact number but it was around 5 or so times.Yes, I did explore that area, and it was one of the times I asked for help. Overall it was one of the better moments in the game for me. To clarify I know there are things I havent done and endings I have not seen but I'm not 100% invested in going back to the game currently.
>>727772491When you took the item near the end of the game, did you understand?
>>727773145Depends on what you mean by understand, its something I'm still thinking about admittedly in terms of everything in the game. I knew what to do at that point, but I don't fully know what the implications it has on the story and world in general.
>>727768563every game /v/ has recommended to me was greatyour tastes must be reddit
>>727773569So you picked it up, and the music slowly changed, and you somehow knew exactly what to do with it - but you didn't know what would happen if you failed?
>>727774252[/spoiler] I knew I had to take it somewhere but I didn't know where. I did die with it which is how I know the game has more endings since the first ending I got was that one.
>>727774634Gulp I fucked up that spoiler.
The anglerfish in that foggy planet made me really nervous
>>727767058Your depression or low iq and cynicism is not my problem
>>727774634I have a feeling your experience here was ruined by looking things up / getting help from a friend.When I played at launch, ATP was the very last thing I did. I knew what the ATP did. I knew where the warp core would go.But I didn't know that the ATP would stop when I removed the warp core.I don't know if you talked to Chert much, but the universe in outer wilds is at end times.Every solar system is going supernova.But as long as we're stuck in a timeloop, we can persist in it.Which brings us to this moment.Removing the warp core stops the timeloop.Meaning if you don't get it to the shuttle before the supernova, this will be the end of existence itself.
What's the appeal here and why do people play indie slop? Aside from the fact you're all broke and brown.>d00d the game resets every 15 minutesYou're playing a roguelike/lite without the gameplay. Cool.>d000d milennial dread writingYou're a faggot.
>>727776820
>>727769943It's propelled by a magic space rock, it's not supposed to be serious.
>>727767058Only thing I know about this game is that it made some YouTuber troon out.
I don't think enough people acknowledge how much heavy lifting the gravity simulation does for the game.At its core, it's an adventure game. You go around reading information and look for the information that will let you solve puzzles and look around more. That's not exactly a thriving genre anymore but flying the ship around with the gravity simulation and the jetpack is just so fun and "gamey" that getting from A to B in itself is pretty fun. I've liked the thought of trying to make an Outer Wilds clone before, but I realized that I had no idea how to make traversal fun in the same way without doing the exact same shit
>>727778591flying to the sun base was such a fun challenge
This game pisses off religious people because they think they're going to some kind of paradise after death.
>>727767058>The game was fun but it wasn't life altering for me really.And literally no one said it is a life altering game.
>>727767058>reddit the game
>>727767058>>727767217>>727767349>>727767357The only ones overselling the game are trolls falseflagging as an elitist (or racist) fanbase.It's topics, pro-science pitch on top of non-hostile aliens trigger some culture warrior.That said, I've yet to find another game in a similar vein.
>>727769943Still more logical and self-consistent than the average Startrek / Starwars product
>comfy OW thread>suddenly the spoilerposting faggot shows upevery single time
>>727777959>It's propelled by a magic space rockIt's propelled by rocket engines, though. The magic space rock just gives you gravity inside the ship.
>>727767058did you expect the game to suck your dick and finger your ass? sounds like a (You) problem homie
i bought this game because you faggots promised it was lifechanging. It was at this moment i realized /v/ really is /v/eddit. Genuinely one of the worst games i've ever played>t. High IQ and whiter than you are
>>727784586Let's see the 3x3
>>727773569>>727774634I'm worried to come to the same conclusion as the other anon >>727776489Unless there's a misunderstanding, you were supposed to understand what and why BEFORE the final run.> I knew what to do at that point, but I don't fully know what the implications it has on the story and world in general. Essentially you realize that you cannot save the solar system, the sun, the universe itself is dying and there's nothing you can do except either loop forever, or attempt to reach the EYE and at least satisfy your curiosity before dying.And you do so by bringing the hyperspace core to the spaceship to jump to it.AFTER that, you realize that the EYE is some kind of universal constant waiting for a lifeform, or maybe the LAST sentient lifeform to restart the universe.And I'm not telling you about the DLC, which offer bridging material to explain why the Nomai only saw the eye during a short period.
>>727784184some people talk about it like that so understandable
>>727774634You ruined your experience getting told where to go at every major decision (5 times? So you got told where to go for every planet LOL) you didn't read anything cause you weren't giving the game an honest attempt, and you cucked yourself for it.The fact you had no clue what to do during that ending sequence says a lot, if you actually play the game and use your own brain to beat the puzzles to get there and actually talk to everyone and read everything, you know exactly what to do and where to go by design. In fact the games set up where unless you use a guide or get told what to do, it's impossible to get to the ending sequence and not know what to do. The dying before you finish ending is literally the "fuck you guidelets" ending.Congrats, you played yourself.
>>727767058Agreed. This is one of the most overhyped games ever made. It's actually quite boring, and the story is unremarkable because the characters are just simplistic tropes. I had the unfortunate luck too that when I first received the spaceship, I experimented by just driving it into the Sun since I was already uninterested in the environment and plot. Of course, I just woke up and it was revealed that it was a dull time-reversal cycle; essentially 'spoiling' the plot. I can't believe people say this game changed their lives or was phenomenal in any way. It's entirely mediocre.
>>727785736You get what you put in, retard. Nice job going "ERM CARTOON ARTSTYLE WHAT THE FUCK" and immediately trying to break the game instead of giving it an honest chance. Your attitude can literally ruin any game, no matter how good it is
I played this game for pretty much the exact steam refund period and with each passing moment it became more and more clear this game was made for bay area trannies by bay area trannies. Refunded it and didn't look back, do better /v/and if you haven't tried it, heed my warning.
>>727783704>That said, I've yet to find another game in a similar vein.It doesn't really have any goals, but try out Noctis, if you like the idea of a game that's all about exploration and discovery.It's where No Man's Sky stole all it's ideas from, right down to the joke that it's multiplayer but the chance for players to meet is nearly 0.
>>727785736>WTF!? THE DEVS PUT SPOILERS IN THE STORE PAGE!!!
>>727786124>NoctisI suppose you mean this onehttps://www.timeextension.com/features/the-making-of-noctis-the-no-mans-sky-forerunner-whose-creator-retreated-from-the-worldCan't say I'm interested but it does look creative>It's where No Man's Sky stole all it's ideas from, right down to the joke that it's multiplayer but the chance for players to meet is nearly 0.To be honest, NMS are so damn basic it's just Spore (the director previous game) with the laziest, most easily procedural-gen-compatible gameplay you can imagine
>>727767058>go in blind>"Why?">because the selling point is a concept>"So why not tell me the concept?">because you won't buy it if you know what it isWhy do these games sell?The trailer on its steam page implies it's just a walking simulator, the graphics are ugly, and there's nothing there in it.Real games with real trailers sell less than this kind of stuff.
>>727785736I don't believe you have actually played the game, you just pretend to because you know it's easy bait.
the game is only impressive if you've never been exposed to good SF before (aka a zoomer).
>>727790156whats a SF
>>727790220StealthFucker
>>727790220Speculative Fantasy
>>727790220Seaweed Farms
>>727790332>>727790484>>727790678I've been exposed to all of these, and I think outer wilds is good
>>727785869Holy strawman.
Pure reddit slop. I was bored to tears after my 3rd death. Zero interest in exploring anything in the solar system. The characters were annoying.
>>727767058Outer Wilds is in a three-way tie for most SOULful game I have ever played. The other two being Dying Light 1 and LISA: The Painful. I've been meaning to finish Echoes of the Eye but I've been too busy with procrastinating on school. So far it doesn't seem as good as the base game, but I don't know how far in to it I am.
the reason outer wilds get such reverance is that its the MOST video game video game out therevideo games as a medium are scenarios that are different from books, tv or progressive music in the way that THE PLAYER is in control of itouter wilds encapsulates this more than any other video game because it is a video game about YOU. YOU explore the solar system and YOU put things together.you get better at flying, better at understanding the clues and how to interact with them, etc etc. without the player the story does not exist at allthis is why people tell new players to go in blind, because if you're not playing it as yourself, then you're removing that from the game. any mentions of epic heart wrenching story or how it emotionally damages you are reddit tourists.this can be true depending on who you are, but the point is that it's different for everyone, because everyones sense of 'me' is different (and yes this also sounds gay reddit etc)i could go on but at the same time that's literally it. open world games, your choices matter games, actual story games dont come close to this level of freedom in interacting with a story, and it could never work as a tv show, book or musical because then it would be SOMEONE ELSE, and not YOU
>>727790156You're just a cynical joyless fuck.
>>727796160
>>727767058>the supernova is a huge moment for them but it wasn't all that huge of a moment for meFor me, it's the imposingness of the sun just before, sitting there with the ending theme ringing nails the atmosphere, especially late at night.
