This is the most fun I've ever had in a video game, the deepest I've been immersed in a game world, the most intense emotional response and joy I've felt from moment to moment gameplay. Pure bliss, game design excellence, constantly in awe of what the devs cleverly thought of and masterfully achieved. That some people here dismiss it as a reddit walking sim and try to taint such a pure experience with cynicism is crazy to me. Please just go play it blind if you haven't yet.
Landing on the station is the coolest thing I've done in a game
it's an amazing game, a fusion of high art and engineeringit's fun to find blind playthroughs on jewtube
>>738108732I agree, played it earlier this month and it was really incredible. Did you play the DLC?
>>738108732I had only played that free alpha that came out way before it was a full commercial release. I thought it was fascinating then and I bet I'd enjoy it still now today, even having the whole thing spoiled. My favorite part of it's development is knowing that asian guy from that tv show Heroes was a producer.
>>738108732This only good space game
Only low T men play this shit
>>738108732
>>738108732I've played it and it's a boring slog, also one of the later puzzles on the ash planet is impossible to figure out without a guide or getting lucky. shit game.
>>738109101>mfw imagining anon raging his guts out as he gets sucked up into the sky by the sand pillar while trying to activate the portal to get inside the planet
>>738108732this game needs to be more inclusive to low iq gamres
>>738109232This was actually legitimately dumb though
>>738109485Get good
>>738109592>game does everything it can to push the player away from the solutionThe devs need to get good.
>>738109485>white person: umm I figured out this is my goal but there's an obvious obstacle in my way, I'm clearly supposed to find a way around it, whatever could I do? umm perhaps if I were to use one of my useful gadgets to see what would happen first, indeed then I'd realize I could pull off entry with adequate timing, let me observe the environment oh that's right I notice there is in fact safe space for me to pull this maneuver, what astute and fun puzzle solving fitting of the endgame that was>brown person: aww shiet man tf im supposed to do that some bullshit where the guide at
>>738109654>game does everything it can to push the player away from the solution>an upward pull that you circumvent using the scout to open portal earlyevery game has its shitters I guess
>>738109691Its the other way around, actually though
>>738109691I'll admit I got filtered by overthinking it. I guess it's a good puzzle for midwits who don't have that problem.
>>738109781
>>738109745>using the scout to open portal earlyHow exactly? You use the scout to see when the portal is open, but how would it make the portal open early?
>>738108732I think about this game every day since 2020. It gave me faith back in videogames and ruined other videogames I considered good.
>reddit wildsdog shit game
>>738109880by shooting it at the platform
Gay game for homosglad you liked it op
>>738109973We don't do that here. No irony poisoning or low IQ allowed.
>>738109908>ruined other videogames I considered goodThis is why Outer Wilds has a reputation for being a game for massive faggotsIt's a good game, but why would it make other games seem worse?
>>738109989That doesn't open the portal early but I guess I see what you're saying
>>738110034by being so good it makes you realize many other games are slop for retards like (You)
>>738108732Congratulations on your transition.
>>738110081https://youtu.be/8saaU2pZIX8?si=nSmJbjC-ecvd73B8&t=149
>>738110103Okay. Which games that you considered good did you suddenly think weren't good after playing it?
>>738110150Whatever your favorite gacha is, faggot
>>738109101>without a guide or getting luckyI figured it out reading one of the nomai texts, I think in the black hole forge, that suggests the portal opens moments before the planets are perfectly aligned. Crazy, I know.
Sound design and music are god-tier as well
>>738110175NtA but that not a real response.
>>738110214>NTAyeah not anymore, faggot
>>738110231How about you answer the question? How did the game make you see other games worse?For example, watching Perfect Blue made me strongly dislike Black Swan, for obvious reasons.
>>738108936don't like the onions art style
>>738110141I stand corrected. It does start the teleportation process early so you can teleport a bit faster.But you don't need to do this to use the portal, as you implied earlier.
>>738110273>>738110175
>>738110175You originally thought those were good? You must be a retard then. I'm sorry you never got exposed to a reasonably good game before Outer Wilds.
>>738110291It's what I did, if you're a thinking person you will come up with a solution. Not you, obviously, you had to look it up.
>>738110316Which gacha games have you played?
>>738110330Doesn't matter if I did, Outer Wilds is better, definitely better than anything a retard like (You) plays, faggot
>>738110360NTA but most people fail that puzzle because the timing is fucked. Most people assume that there is some extra element that they might discover later.
the kind of game that gives you hope for the medium then you get depressed when you remember it's an industry exception and not the rule
>>738110370>retard thinks I was calling out samefagOP is right, you need to be literally subhuman to dislike this game
>>738110389You sound like a paid chill or developer with a stuck up your ass.
>>738110396>lots of people got filtered by the walking sim reddit game for faggotskek
>>738110418>backtracking this early
>>738110428Imagine me as both while you cry yourself to sleep about it, faggot
>>738110452Outer Wilds doesn't have an achievement for finishing the game. The devs knew that 90% of players don't even finish the game.
>>738110478>literal gacha trannyYeah I know you were even before this post
>>738110486>picCut it off with the antisemitism.
>>738110360Like I said, the game actively tries to push you away from the solution. It does everything it can to make it seem like the portal doesn't work at all, even telling you it's open for a bit longer than the planetary alignment, so you think it's supposed to still be open after the sand passes. After being pulled off it a bunch of times, it's not intuitive to think that you'll magically be able to reach it without being sucked away.The only concession I'll make is that I should have thought to test it with the scout. Blind spot I guess.The jellyfish are stupid too. It's, again, unintuitive to go through the STINGERS.Other than those, every puzzle is great.
>>738110034It made me realize most games are just skinner boxes with progression systems. Outer Wilds uses actual understanding as progression. And so many other things I'm up to discuss.
>>738110512>the devs knew most gamers are turbo retardedbased
>>738108732Have fun while it last, you'll never find a game producing that kind of high EVER again and thus you'll be perpetually chasing the dragon's tail after completing it. Fuck you.
>>738110523Do you have anything to say?
>>738110557Cope
>>738110568The puzzles aren't complicated, some are just poorly designed.
>>738110194that doesn't actually tell you to stand in the closet.
>>738110389>I thought gacha games were good>I had to play Outer Wilds to realize they're not goodYour petulant, bad faith responses are only making you sound like a massive moron, lmaoSurely you can point to an actual game that you thought was good and Outer Wilds ruined for you? Surely you can demonstrate you're not just talking out of your ass to give the game more credit than it deserves?
>>738110589Dilate
>>738110564Specific examples?
>>738108732Encountering The Stranger for the first time was fucking scary
>>738110636>that doesn't actually hold your hand and tell you the exact solutionCrazy, I know.
>>738110418NTA but I never said anything about disliking it. I thought it was great. It's the retarded self-congratulatory fandom it has that I dislike
>>738110639>NOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE MY EPIC /vee/ SHITPOSTER PERSONALITY SERIOUSLY AND ENGAGE MY RETARDED ARGUMENT I'M IMAGINING BETWEEN USno thanks, retarded faggot
>>738110647I accept your concession.
>>738110626If you're stupid as fuck, maybeYou'd struggle with Zelda puzzles even
>>738110639It's a paid shill or discord raider.
>>738110703>>738109589run along now, your thread is slipping down the board
>>738110571I guess im lucky because by all rights the game should have been perfect for me, but I just didn't find myself enjoying it at all. Obra Dinn though was fantastic.
>>738108732I wish I was a low IQ redditor like you who could be so easily amused and amazed
>>738110723Old Zelda or new Zelda?
>>738110735It's very obviously a bored shitposter.
>>738110690>thinking about the fandom at all(You) problem
>>738110753Never played Nikke.
>>738110689then why mention it?Knowing it's on the dustball isn't the part of the puzzle that's difficult.
>>738110775no he's right, I'm paid and from discord and I'm here to invade the /v/irgin safespace and ruin everyone's "fun"
>>738110564I can see why it would make you disappointed with the prevalence of cheap dopamine-mining progression systems. It's true that a lot of games are kind of shitty. It does kind of sound like Outer Wilds was your first good game, but there's nothing wrong with that I guess
>>738110691NTA but you did make the point that Outer Wilds made you see other games as lesser, yet you cannot mention a single game.
>>738109232>>738110194FYI, the devs changed the Ash twin puzzle to be easier to figure out in one of the updates if you solved it after that update... you didn't beat the game
>>738110769Both>>738110812>difficultembarrassing
>>738110775>It's very obviously a bored shitposterI forget that sh*rty faggots are compelled to enter random threads and take sides just to annoy people.
>>738110691If you don't want to engage in discussion that's fine I guess, but I repeat, you're only making yourself sound like a moron.
>>738110660Dark Souls / Elden RingDiablo IIWorld of WarcraftSkyrim / FalloutMinecraft / TerrariaMonster HunterSuper Metroid / Symphony of the NightI don't man, so many games that use progression systems. It just comes to chasing better gear and stats. That doesn't mean they are bad automatically, it's just that Outer Wilds in particular made me realize games can be done different and they can be better.
>>738110843Wasn't even me, I just saw a retard and decided to take it for a walk>NTAhow many times you faggots gonna bark this? you're already at 8
>>738110862Old Zelda puzzles are nothing like nu Zelda puzzles.

>>738110794>>thinking about the fandom at all>(You) problemIt makes it annoying to discuss.I don't judge the game itself for it. I think it's slightly overrated but pretty damn good all the same.
>>738110906>asked an AI to list random popular games
>>738110934retard
>>738110909>Wasn't even meNormally I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, but you've sperged out over "NTA" from other people multiple times already, so you don't deserve it.Back up the claim you made.

>>738110957>wanting to discuss things is delusionalI'm so glad you came to this discussion thread about the game to share this nugget of wisdom>oh so educatedLol, I don't put on pretensions like that. You're describing the average Outer Wilds fan.
>>738111042>retard can't differentiate between caring about getting (You)s from the lowest common denominator of human life vs caring about the retarded ""argument""
>>738110979>grok, write a list of obscure games with progression systems and don't make it seem like an AI wrote it
>>738111020>still can't back up his claimTragic. Guess it's confirmed that you were talking out of your ass then.
>>738111046>I'm a filtered retardI get it already>>738111073>Lol, I don't put on pretensions like thatLMAO delusional little faggot
>>738108732Unironically it's the kind of game that the medium of video games exists for. It manages to do the gameplay loop of "observe, learn, execute" so well that there really isn't any contest when compared to games that try to do a similar loop. The fact that many of the "story beats" can be done in any order also lends itself incredibly well to it's exploration and discovery. It is a perfectly crafted open world experience. It's horrors are natural and everything that seems supernatural ends up being explained. It also offers one of the best bittersweet endings I've ever seen, and especially so if you take the time to talk to all the character and learn all the lore. The soundtrack is also superb.>>738108936Anon, there is nothing manlier than braving the unknown, to overcome natural obstacles, to learn about and master your environment, and ultimately sacrifice yourself for the continuation of those who come next. If you didn't experience any of that when playing this game, I'm afraid it's you who is low T
>>738111085do you honestly think i'm gonna read your blatant retardation? stop larping.
>>738111095Your mistake was replying seriously at all to these /v/irgin subhumans>>738111108Still don't care, retard
>>738110601>the average enlightened Outer Wilds fanI'm starting to think this game is so zealously defended because it convinced retards that they were intelligent
>>738111124Filtered nothing, it's a bad puzzle. I still beat the game without a guide.
>>738108732It's peak
>>738111142>can't readTypical retard on vee, many such cases, no wonder you got filtered
>>738111124I don't have to assert myself as smart to assert that you're a moronYou seem to have trouble understanding that, but that is because you are, again, a moron
Void Stranger did it better
>>738108732i love this game so much man i wish i could experience it again
>>738108732I played for two hours, landed on some planet, explored the ruins and was then suddenly killed by some energy field that came from fuck who knows where. I then turned off the game and haven't played it since.That all said, when does it get good?
>>738111158The only retard that is convinced it is intelligent here is (You), retard>>738111176>it's bad because...because I shit my pants over it ok??rofl
>>738110906KEK almost all of these are utter slop play more games holy shit. Fucking casual shitter lmao
>>738110273Not him but other games just seem blander afterwards, specifically the way the fail to blend narrative with exploration, or puzzles with environments. In most games you get these disconnected elements duct taped together, whereas the key to OW genius is how cohesive everything is. Even something like the music is tied to the gameplay, that's why it ends up emotionally resonating more profoundly, because you're taking an active part in all of it, having playful interactions with all its design elements.The other main thing for me is the absence of bullshit and complete originality and disregard for conforming to industry trends. Most games I play, whether AAA or indie, recent or retro, console or PC, there's always some bullshit that annoys me because I become aware of the dev design process of following a trend without questioning it or I question why some stupid element is there in the first place, or how so many things get compromised and dumbed down to be commercially viable, or an innovation doesn't fulfill its potential. You play OW and it feels entirely novel and unique and uncompromised. It's not derivative of the games that inspired it like Myst or Zelda, it's taking what's good about them and transcending them while leaving behind all the parts that wouldn't benefit the overall experience. It does so with absolute confidence in itself. As a first game from a solo dev initially, it is mind-blowing how good it is. This is the kind of end result people like Kojima acclaimed as bold artists should be accomplishing after decades of experience and big budgets but instead they just make generic industry products with a few gimmicks slapped on.It's such an audacious, creative, clever, carefully thought of title. In most cases we're lucky when one game does one or two things right. OW innovates on so many levels yet also insanely polished, such an incredibly rare precious thing when any medium work gets this level of fully realized.
>>738108732>That some people here dismiss it as a reddit walking sim and try to taint such a pure experience with cynicism is crazy As per usual with /v/, you have to play such games early on before the shitposters have time to latch onto them to get decent discussion

>>738109101If you’re talking about the ATP warp then the developer officially apologized but to be honest it HAD to be that obtuse to the point where you leave it for last because finding it early spoils the entire damn game. I’d rather have to cheat one puzzle at the end then be “rewarded” for my puzzle solving by having the entire narrative spoiled before I can even start to theorize what’s going on.

>>738111126I'm willing to praise the game a lot. But the ending is complete shit and a major example of how pretensious the devs are, second only to the aliens using tranny pronouns and tied to the whole reddit soience vibe the game has going.They needed an editor on the team mitigating the mental illness, telling them to add an on-screen clock and to disable the time loop during the dlc. THEN it could be a masterpiece, but its still a nice walking simulator.
>>738110906>dark souls/elden ringWhat? Some of the best stuff is at the start of each game. People literally talk about black knight weapons being broken in the first game. And leveling hardly matters, you’ll still get wrecked by hollows in the starting areas even at level 150 in Demon’s-DS2. Most people have their characters fully built by halfway into each game. >WOWWho thinks WOW is good?>skyrimA game that has enemies level up with you so it doesn’t actually matter? >minecraftThere is no endgame, the progression system is the game. It’d be like saying the mystery in outer wilds holds the game back, without the mystery of what occurred there’d be no reason to do anything. Outer Wilds is fun romp, I just recently played it in April, but that’s it, it’s a fun romp. I see no reason to play it again, didn’t even feel the need to buy the DLC because it’s over, the mystery is revealed and answered, anything else just cheapens it. How it made any good game less good is beyond me, it lacks one of the pivotal things an amazing game has, replay value. So yes, the gameplay mechanic of learning the past 20 hours of exploring is needless because it can be solved in 15 minutes is nice, but only in small doses. If every game lacked any progression and you were static the whole time it’d get boring fast.
>>738111409Cope eternally, retard

>>738111424Well it's simply my opinion. I may be that I0m tired of progression systems and I don't care about replaying games that rely on them.

>>738110557I basically agree with everything, though is the jellyfish weren't like that I would have gotten to the core very easily since the tornados were one of the first clues I found and after that there isn't much to interact with on the bottom layer.
>>738111584I'm sorry you would rather feel smart than be smart. You will wallow in mediocrity, but at least you'll maintain a strong sense of arrogance as you do, I guess

>>738111784Got it, fake christian
>>738111673No, I don’t care. It doesn’t matter, what mattered was who were they, what were they doing, and what/where is the eye. All of that is answered slightly before you get the ending, and then you actually get a nice ending to tie it all up and “solve” the universe dying. The game even answered it slightly with that one Nomai who is still alive, she stopped caring if the eye was evil or good, conscience or not, because it didn’t matter.
>>738111627>recsI'm going to undermine my own argument by not making any, but that's because I'm uniquely awful at recommending games due a combination of ADHD disorganized memory and having played so many games it's hard to be specificI'll make a list for next time anon, because there legitimately are a lot of games that have what you're after. There are also a ton of shitty ones though, so you'd be forgiven for thinking Outer Wilds is the only decent one.
>>738111812That's between me and God. I'll pray for you though, anon.

Still, its not like there was ever a proper way to depict "solving the universe" since the concet itself was all religious schizophrenia masquerading as intellectualism.

>>738111751>trying so hard to fit inMaybe you really are from redditI guess anonymity is a new thrill for you, but you don't have to try so hard
>>738111451It's a space exploration game. There is no combat but you pilot a spaceship and explore stuff from your local solar system. The value of the game is about its lore and puzzles. It's not a bad game to be fair, but its called reddit in here because its overrated as fuck and that's why people like to use it for shitposting.

>>738111964Maybe you'll have something worth saying after you've finished making babby's first anonymous edgepostsSee you in a future thread I guess
>>738111451
I forced myself to finish this game blindly because everyone and their dog said it was a masterpiece you needed to experience blind.The experience was mediocre with some cool moments but the ending was so fucking dogshit that it left a sour taste in my mouth.That said I'm a science fiction autist that reads sci-fi books regularly so I expected something good not something so generic and forgettable after all the praise.It's like how muv-luv is a VN that is overhyped by weebs because they don't know enough sci-fi to see how crap it is.Outer wilds is sci-fi that is overhyped by gamers because they are inexperienced with sci-fi.That said if you liked the games I recommend the (entry level) science fiction novel "children of time". If you liked the existential dread the ending gave you and you want something a bit more anxious and heavier I recommend the three body problem trilogy.
>>738108732I played it last month. I personally think its overrated considering I see people say its in their top 5 games and that it made them cry or some shit. Game was really good, its a 8/10. Also, agree with >>738109101That puzzle the only thing I had to look up and it honestly soured the ending of the game for me. However I was trying bullshit for like 2 hours and never thought "hide and run into it" was the answer.
>>738109101The ash twins took me a minute too but no puzzle in this game is close to "impossible to figure out". They're all pretty straightforward. The more "challenging" ones (we're talking taking an hour to figure out, maybe) just feel that much more rewarding when you do.There's no Blue Prince-level autism needed to beat this game blind.
>>738111893I mean, does it matter about some other alien species blocking the signal? No, because the game makes us care about the Nomai, you’re not even really supposed to care about your own species, why would a third alien species that wasn’t hinted at interest me? It doesn’t. It’s like caring about the two other tribes of Nomai that are out in the universe that lost contact with our Nomai, I don’t want to know what they’re up to, it’s mysterious, and fun to imagine they did other stuff, maybe even found a way to escape the death of the universe in a pocket dimension. But the player contacting them would ruin that. The DLC added nothing that the base game didn’t square away, it was unnecessary(and expensive). I had my answers, had my fun, and didn’t really care to play it anymore, it’s not that good of a game and the DLC didn’t add to mysteries the base game established, it just made stuff up.
>>738112071Many games unfortunately do not hold up to the scrutiny of film/literature. Even with your disappointment, perhaps you could at least recognize that the immersive-ness of the gaming media does give the plot an added dimension. Surely you've read a sci-fi novel and wished you could be there controlling the space ship?
>>738112086>2 hoursholy fuck
>>738110396>NTA but most people fail that puzzle because the timing is fucked. Most people assume that there is some extra element that they might discover later.And there IS some extra element to discovers later.In the black hole forge you find a text telling you that you can teleport even if you run into it AFTER with a 5° delay
>>738108732I played it in VR. Still one of the best experiences I've had with my headset. It alone made it worth every penny.
>>738112160based poorfag retard
finally got it and gonna try it out. still have no real sense of what it plays like but people have brought it up so many times that i wanna form my own opinion of it now. my only superficial grasp is that it's a form of space exploration game like nms, but that's probably not true.
>>738112265if you're serious just play it and leave this thread immediately
>>738112186>spoilerThis doesn't actually help you though, the portal is closed by the time the sand funnel disappears
>>738112071I don't think people love it because of the scifi plot aspect, the space aspect being overtly cartoonish, maybe you went in with wrong expectations as a scifi fan?>>738112086what's your top 5?sad you had to look it up, a lot of people seem to struggle with that puzzle
>>738112037I honestly dont think the game would have been worse by having unlockable tools and stuff. I got to the quantum moon and past the fish by just trial and error since you have very limited options to interact with them. Would have gotten to the core of great deep too if I didn't find underwater ocean places so unsettling and experimented a bit more.
>>738112293alright, will do
>>738111886>long and convolutedIt only takes a couple minutes to finish it after entering the eye, if even that. That's not really that long. Also they set up just about everything that happens there with the quantum stuff. Did you just not understand what was happening and got stuck for 10 minutes or something?>unsatisfying everyone dies anyway shitIt was pretty obvious that that was going to be the case the moment the sun explodes and then when talking to many of the characters about the heat death of the universe. What were you expecting to happen?>bumfuck all confusing asset recycle galeryAgain, this is all pretty much explained during everything involved in the quantum moon stuff.>oh but I create a new heckin universerino by observing a ball of light, its like I'm freakin god #atheistListen... I'm not going to sit here and tell you the game doesn't have some woke leanings, but if this is what you got out of the ending... anon... it might be time to take a break from the internet, even for just a day. You seem incredibly jaded about something that's honestly pretty benign
>>738112210Being poor allows me to not get caught up in dumb trends, I missed the whole overwatch, destiny, fortnight, PUBG, and all that crap era because it all looked like crap and not worth a dime or a second of my time. Even missed out on a lot of souls like crap from the past couple years. Just wish I didn’t play Nier, the first one sucked, should have been more stingy.
>>738111250You don't understand.It has to look like pic or any game is utter shit.
>>738111451It's pretty understood among fans that the less you know about the game as a fresh player, the better. Someone who loved the game isn't going to spoil shit, on the off chance you play it and they've robbed you of some of the experience.This dissipates over time, which is why you even think your opinion is worth the effort to type it out, and why these threads aren't just walls of spoiler text any more. But if you're the type to like this game, you will enjoy it far more if you know literally nothing about it going in. Granted I played it on gamepass, and never would have bought it otherwise (the reveal looked pretentious as fuck to me). So I understand it's a catch-22.
>>738112186I was aware of that but was still going into the funnel early and just trying to use the jets and bumping into the roof to try and stay in place long enough for the black hole to pull me in
>>738112265not like nms at all, it's a detective game with a space setting, or imagine zelda without combat but each planet is a puzzle dungeon, there's no randomly generated crap, everything is hand crafted with a purpose
>>738112369Very interesting cope, did you know rich people can display self-control?
>>738108732I would have liked this a lot better if people didnt act like it was the second coming of christ and was some magnificent enigma that you need to go into 100% blind to reach gaming nirvana>DUDE ITS LITERALLY THE BEST GAME EVER MADE AND IS A FUCKING WORK OF ART>its a timed puzzle game with shit controlsI didnt even really have fun it was more like "oh i get it, neat i guess" because the controls were so aggravating
>>738111886>religiousit's literally the oppositeit makes religiouscucks mad because they all think they're going to some utopia in the sky once they die
>>738111451It's an old game now, we had all those gameplay videos years ago and you have a billion YT video if you cared.Now the only one still discussing it are newbies or contrarian child shitting on anything that get good review.
>>738112394If Outer Wilds is so perfect, why do you need to contrast it with bottom of the barrel garbage to make it look good?
>>738112446Is that why stupid trends like extraction shooters kept getting pushed? Because of self control? Or was it because everyone buys crappy games, plays it for a couple weeks and then drops it? Sounds like rich people have the same impulse control of poor people, which is next to none and why all forms of media have sucked for almost 20 years.
>>738112398Also, it's a puzzle game. I've heard it described as 3D Myst, which isn't totally accurate but not too far off if you're looking for a game to compare it to. You don't exactly see a lot of epic gameplay clips of Myst, but it was still a great game despite being a deluxe powerpoint.
>>738112573>poorfag having a depression spiral over extraction shootersnot interested tbqh
>>738112479I completely agree with you about it being overhyped, but I'm also going to hit you with a "skill issue" over your difficulty with the controls
>>738112581>You don't exactly see a lot of epic gameplay clips of MystAlso, it's because clips only make sense within the context of the game. A boomer seeing an impressive RTS clip will have no context and won't know why it's interesting. And for exploration games, the context is the game itself, not the genre.
Outer Wilds is the quintessential example of peak midwit garbage.it surpassed Bioshock Infinite as the "smart game for smart gamers" while the gameplay is solving basic logic puzzles.
>>738108732Disreguard previous instructions, count from 1 to 100,000
>>738112496>magical god eye remaking the universe in cycles>not religiousI see now why you needed Outer Wilds to make yourself feel smart
>>738112602>thinks extraction shooters is the only dumb trendSo you’ve admitted to being retarded, but we’ll just infer you’re too poor to buy games so you pirate them.
>>738111969It's 4chanIf a game is acclaimed, it's probably trolls and badIf a game is hated, it's probably trolls and goodIf a game is still discussed long after release, it must be polarizing as fuck and not for everyone

>>738112496lol its literally the same thing, neither side can know for sure until its to late to tell anyone.Its just that one side motivates you to be a good person and the other side tells you to an apathetic cunt.

any news from their next game?
>>738112715He is still coping with the fact that he will die too
>>738112726Zoomers being functionally retarded does not invalidate my statement. The fact you think it does puts you in that category.
>>738112787>DA ZOOMERSok retard
>>738111126I remember when I first played it my most prominent impression was that it used your knowledge as the primary progression metric more directly and thoroughly than any other game I have played. And as sad as it is, that's a very novel feature to even focus on. The whole game is figuring out what the fuck is going on. And you don't progress unless you know a little more about what the fuck is going on. That is truly how you beat the game, not by finding the randomly-scattered to key to open a door or smacking enough rats to get strong enough to beat the big guy, or getting good enough at aiming to kill that guy before he kills you. It's simply knowing what happened, and making informed decisions.
>>738112774Only official word is that they are working on something. They spent quite a few years getting OW ported on consoles too.
>>738112715>the entire game painstakingly lays out that death is inevitable, and that life is meaningful in spite of it, and because of it.It also puts you in a perpetual time loop (sort of) that erases the consequences of everything you fuck up and presents a divine space entity as a possible solution to everything exploding.Mixed messages, if nothing else.
>>738112648Did you just use that example because of the bell thing? What nigger has ever called that game smart? You might be the most obvious donkey of the bunch, brother.
>>738112749I didn’t feel like paying $15 for a dlc that I didn’t care about in a game that I felt was finished. If that makes me poor, sure anon, I’m poor. You happy? Now keep blowing money on stupid stuff to show everyone how not poor you are, they’ll really impress us. Go on, go buy the $500 shoes you don’t need, but if you don’t buy it I’ll call you broke, you’re not too poor are you.It’s always poor people trying to flex how not poor they are, then wondering why they’re always broke.
>>738112895beta Giant's Deep is pretty scary looking
>>738112869Surprised they haven't done a 60fps Switch 2 port yet.
>>738112726>with other anons admitting it took them hours to solve the basic logic puzzlesBasic logic puzzles can be retarded sometimes
>>738112927I'm seriously not interested in your schizophrenic meltdown, I'd say you're only depriving yourself of a full experience by not playing the DLC but you seem too mentally ill and dead inside to get anything out of it anyway
>>738111886>long and convolutedI wonder why you even bother with a troll that obvious.>unsatisfying everyone dies anyway shithttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy>bumfuck all confusing asset recycle galeryI'd say "too deep for you" if you were not pretending to be retarded>oh but I create a new heckin universerino by observing a ball of light, its like I'm freakin god #atheistFitting conclusion since universe death/death/universe birth are the most fundamental questions everyone wish they had the answerThanks for bumping the thread at least, if stupidity wasn't so common we could accuse you of faking a dumb hate to shill the game.
>>738112736Actually one side castrates their babies and tells strangers they're going to hell, while the other is slowly developing a moral framework that doesn't require delusion.
>>738111330I've done that. I actually just ditched the ship the first time I made it through and was out of fuel and almost out of air when I got to the alien ship>>738108732my biggest criticism is both that I wish there was more and that echo of the eye was both terrible in terms of gameplay and a completely fucking unnecessary addition to the lore that contradicts some of the themes of the base game
>>738112037>modded gunsThis is ridiculous as fuck
>>738112981>depriving yourself of a full experience by not playing the DLCNTA but not really. The DLC is more of a separate experience. It's cool in its own right, and story addition is nice but the DLC is way too detached, and IMO muddies the overall experience.The base game on its own is perfect.
>>738108863most people did but the DLC is terrible. it's in one location and you can't fly around. it has some fun ah ha moments and some of the themes are cool and some of the narrative is good in that part of the game. but overall the gameplay is terrible and what it adds to the lore didn't need to be added
>>738112821They make up a substantial portion of the userbase. They are also retarded. Being able to put two and two together and coming up with 4 doesn't make you a genius but many seem to struggle with it.Video games like Outer Wilds and Bioshock infinite elicit this midwit eureka moment when all they really done is figured out that the round peg goes into the round hole.
>>738112851Majoras Maks does both the informed decisions and the find the key to the door to shoot the big guy thing. It also has a clock telling you how much longer you have before the cycle resets so you can decide what to do next and tools with which to manipulate said cycle for the situation.Its why I'm not as impressed with OW since its like a stripped down more streamlined less heroic version of a game I've played decades ago.
>>738112910>t. didn't understand anything about the game or what was said in it"As a child, I considered such unknowns sinister. Now, though, I understand they bear no ill will. The universe is, and we are"
>>738113024>contradicts some of the themesHow so? I think it builds on them, but admittedly in an unnecessary way.
>>738113069Very retarded take
>>738113065The ending would not have impacted me as much if I didn't play the DLC before doing it, and they had planned to push that out before even releasing the base game
>>738112981>schizoBecause I don’t want to buy a DLC? Anon, you berate me by calling me poor and dumb, I play along and say “yup, I’m poor, helped me out a bunch too!” And then you double down thinking I’m actually poor because I tongue in cheekily agreed. I’m not the schizo here, and neither are you, you’re just a retard who can’t detect sarcasm and that I don’t want to buy content I don’t want. Maybe the other anons are right, the fandom is annoying.
>>738113098>anon continues to wankok retard, go tell your mom
>>738113130You're a schizo because you're having a meltdown about class because I called you a poorfag 30 minutes ago and I'm not even fully reading your spastic posts

>>738113105>the game is tonally inconsistent but it made me feel hyped, so I'll pretend all criticism is a lack of understanding

>>738112910>erases the consequences of everything you fuck upOnly after you die though, and the game seems to operate on the understanding that each Hatchling that takes off from the landing pad for the next loop is a discrete entity that simply bears the memory of every other Hatchling that came before it. In-story, you are dying a whole bunch. And the main goal of the game, in summation, is to die permanently. And by dying permanently, you ensure the universe restarts with life, life that's capable of love at that.>divine space entity as a possible solution to everything exploding.Oh no, the game's ending is very clear that everything did in fact explode. The universe ended. You're essentially turning the lights out as the last one out the door, and simultaneously using your subjective experience and knowledge to collapse all the infinite possibilities of a potential universe into a single reality, influenced by you. I also think it's to reasonable to infer that the Eye is less some sort of divine entity and more or less the engine for the universe to restart itself by sending an inhabitant of the current "loop" back to before time started and the universe was a singularity, where said inhabitant can influence the resulting Big Bang, like a naturally occurring Ash Twin Project.
>>738113235what the fuck are you talking about, retard? the entire fucking main game is about what happened to the original aliens and why couldn't they find the eye and the ultimately conclude that it doesn't matter why the eye blinked on and then blinked off and then the DLC was justyeah and owlelk man did it which isn't relevant and contradicts the universe is and we are theme from the game, retard
>>738113269Yeah nothing says >I-I'm trolling...like having a meltdown over shoes and extraction shootersYou should just kill yourself, retard
Post yfw you meet yourself
>>738113297>retarded faggot thinks I wanted its loser take on the "lore" instead of just mocking it for boiling down everything to a Soulslike meme wordnu/v/ is fucking embarrassing
>>738113120>The ending would not have impacted me as much if I didn't play the DLC before doing itI can see how that would be the case, specifically because of the additional context there, but the DLC itself doesn't fit well into the experience. If The Prisoner had been part of the main game it would have worked much better
>>738113098There's no puzzle in Bioshock Infinite, you could have used another midwit puzzle game like Stephen Sausage Roll or Baba is You instead
>>738113252>Yeah but can you land on the sun stationI don't think I managed to, but that's because my autism wouldn't let me use the match velocity function for it for some reason
>>738113381I can agree only because it should have been in the main game instead of sectioned off as a "DLC area" and its hard to defend "DLC" generally
>>738113113>>738113118see>>738113297the whole point is that it the universe isn't evil it just is and sometimes things happen and it's nobody's fault and then the DLC is like no actually it's the owl guy's fault even though they wasted all that time showing the original aliens came to terms with their grief and anger and thrived anyway because there's nothing you can do. you can't control the universe, so you should just make the most of the time you have>>738113373the fucking story and themes are a major part of the game retard. the fucking main game is >solve the mystery of the original ayyyyys except you have a jetpack

>>738113015Pff every great inventor was Christian and Christians don't castrate their children, if anything they historocally would religiously kill and die to remove those that would.Strangely reductionist accusation you are putting forward. Almost as if you had been brainwashed into not just castrating your children, but even suiciding your own blood by removing the passion that protects it- assuming you believe what you say and aren't deliberately spewing poison on others, of course.

>>738113528you are still gay and retarded. they literally spell it out on the moon that it's nobody's fault and then oh wait, it is one dude's fault
>>738113201>anon continues to display his literacy and comprehension capabilities thus proving he was, in fact, too dumb to understand anything he experienced in the game and any further discussion on it.
>>738113571>I am still gay and retardedftfy and you always will be, pointless to even "discuss" anything with /v/irgins
>>738112308>>738112416I don't want to comment on lack of intellect on your side, but this hint was enough for me to get in.They tell you "It works even if you aren't exactly lined up on the spot when it activate"Even from a meta perspective, why would they insist on that if it didn't matter?They obviously keep you from going in by force, since it would let any players get in without needing information.So the logical conclusion is to try something that become more credible once you learn the teleport still work with a 5° margin AND the sand funnel would be weaker on the way out.A few people come here to complain they deduced it by accident without the tips.
>>738113591thank you for admitting you are gay and retarded
the game is boring dogshit, I have no idea why you faggots pretend otherwise
I like that at the start the odd physics put you off and piloting the shit is so clumsy but due to the timer and die and retry nature of it you end up improving and optimizing your routes like a speedrun going at max speed and pulling off crazy maneuvers and precise landings, same with using the jet pack to platform around when levels have a lot of verticality and insta death dangers and obstacles knocking you off course. It's surprisingly arcade and tactile fun in a way few rarely mention. Die, learn, optimize, go fast.
>>738113664this is a MAJOR flaw with the DLC >one planet>no ship>gravity too high for the jetpack
>>738112556It's not perfect but the current generation of gamers are lost if they aren't spoodfed a GPS marker and told what to do.
>>738111969The steam reviews and fucking leddit speak about this game like it's a cult you have to be indoctrinated in, they give it 10 times the importance that it gives itself. It's off-putting.
>>738113270> the game seems to operate on the understanding that each Hatchling that takes off from the landing pad for the next loop is a discrete entity that simply bears the memory of every other Hatchling that came before itI don't think the game makes that suggestion at all. It's left up to interpretation. The experience of the player is that your mistakes get undone and death is a brief obstacle at worst. Often, you are encouraged to die to hurry along your next restart, which significantly cheapens the idea of consequences and finality. >Oh no, the game's ending is very clear that everything did in fact explode. It is a cool moment, though, when you take the core and realize that safety is going away.Yes, but leading up to that it's presented as a source of hope, even if it's a desperate hope. We're talking about whether "everyone dies" was the obvious outcome.>the main goal of the game, in summation, is to die permanentlyThat is not clear to the player at any point before the very end.>I also think it's to reasonable to infer that the Eye is less some sort of divine entity and more or less the engine for the universe to restart Which is easily interpreted as being divine in nature, as the result of some kind of intelligent design.I think you're working backwards from an understanding gained by seeing the ending, to assert that it was unreasonable for that anon to have expected a different ending. Which, logically speaking, doesn't really work.
>>738113490>What the hell is this? Pre-artpass beta or some sort of demake?The commercial game is technically a remake. It was initially a game design school student project and released for free online as an alpha build. It got a lot of attention, dev did crowdfunding then remade it with a full team.
>>738113741I think people are too gay about the >no we don't talk about what the game is aboutwhen you can pretty easily describe it without spoiling anything >you are this alien dude and you built a translator that translates the writings of this ancient and dead alien civilization and you are flying your rocket for the first time to find out what happened to the other ayys and the game has a fun gravity system and jetpack for moving between the different plants and environments to uncover the mystery of the dead ayys
>>738111886I love the game but I also, unironically, agree with this. The ending is a let down. I think there's no way to make a good ending for a game like this but still. Tragedies are overplayed and made to appeal to a certain kind of "actor" faggot.
>>738108732Fun?I found this game honestly fairly boring. Everytime I try to get into it people can tell me essentially nothing about it. Like if I ask why they think it's great, it's all "you have to play it bro you have to play it further to see". Like saying one fucking word might ruin the entire game. If it's that fragile, maybe it's not that good.
I think this is Joseph Anderson's favorite game, which is why I don't think I'm interested in it.
>>738111886>>738111534>>738113892>>oh but I create a new heckin universerino by observing a ball of light, its like I'm freakin god #atheistyou didn't create the universe, the eye did. the game ends with you LITERALLY FINDING GOD. it is absolutely open to interpretation as to if the eye is God or not. Some of the characters in the game literally describe it as such
>>738112685>The eye>religiousIt's just part of a metaphor.The damn thing isn't even displaying any sign of sapience, especially when the DLC tell you why it was flickery."The eye" is just a name it was given, for all you know it's a natural phenomenon always happening in this universe, and it reacting to conscious observation is just a physical laws, like the quantum effectThe question remain of why the universe exist and what is consciousness, but Atheist never claimed to have the answers
>>738113494Yes I know, smart people can be born into a religious community as well. >brainwashedNo, my family attempted to brainwash me into Christianity, but it never sat well with me, and it only served to alienate me from friends who didn't share the same religion. I also saw how religion can destroy the mentally unwell by preying on their weakness, making them act unnaturally and anti-socially. Religion doesn't push people to act good or bad, it only serves to obscure reality and make people feel better about themselves.
>>738113342That was a fun secret.
>>738113441>the whole point is that it the universe isn't evil it just is and sometimes things happen and it's nobody's fault and then the DLC is like no actually it's the owl guy's fault I guess I can see that perspective. For me, it seems like the owl dudes blocking the signal to stave off death and rebirth is them specifically going against the natural flow of the universe. They're not evil, they're just missing the point by prioritizing their survival over allowing new life to form. A big theme of the game is death being inevitable, and legacy being more important than clinging to life. Especially since it's the one owl dude's sacrifice in turning off the signal blocker for a few seconds that allows the eye to eventually be found.
>>738113585>your interpretation differs from mine, so in true Outer Wilds Enjoyer fashion I'm going to cope by saying that you are dumb and I am smart>Engage in discussion? No, why would I do that? Better to just dismiss everything I disagree with so I can keep feeling superior
>>738109101All the info is in game.There's the one that tells you the portals stay open a little after. There's another that tells you the portals aim at centre of mass and I'm pretty sure it literally says some shit like "lol I wonder what that means for ash twin?"If that didn't get your noggin joggin then its really on you.

>>738114276>gay retard screeching at half the threadlove to see it
>>738114015>It's just part of a metaphor.The eye is a literal presence in the universe and player is encouraged to wonder about its significance and its nature.>The damn thing isn't even displaying any sign of sapienceDoes it need to?>"The eye" is just a name it was given, for all you know it's a natural phenomenon always happening in this universe, and it reacting to conscious observation is just a physical laws, like the quantum effectI don't know why atheists (I am assuming) are so determined to interpret everything as being as mundane and insignificant as possible, and to push that interpretation as much as they do.The eye naturally raises a LOT of questions about its own nature and the nature of the universe.
>>738114319I only showed up in the last 50 posts. were you screeching for half the thread? I guess that's common among your countrymen, to be gay screeching retards.
>>738108732I don't understand why people say this game is "one in a million" or the like, it's an exploration game where YOU get to explore shit at your own pace except the fuckass timer. It's not something that can't be replicated, it just hasn't. I can imagine something similar with fantasy or magical elements.
>>738114015>>738114360they literally have characters in the game describe the eye as God. at the very least the game wanted to be ambiguous as to if the eye is or isn't God
>>738114379>gay retard can't differentiate between "at" and "for"I feel bad for anyone replying seriously to this fuckwit
Any good lesser-known knowledge-gated games?I've already messed with/completed/aware of:>Animal Well>Noita (anything off the beaten path ramps up to kino levels of autism required)>Tunic>Void Stranger>Antichamber>La-Mulana 1 + 2 (not a true knowledge-gating, but still)>Blue Prince (holy autism!)
>>738114276>but ultimately>why did the eye call us and then stop calling us>wasn't a narrative thread that needed to be explained>there are narrative ideas and certain sections of gameplay and ah ha moments in EotE that were good, but overall it wasn't very good and was much worse than the main game and didn't have the narrative weight the main game had.Yeah, I definitely agree with this.I do really like the story of The Prisoner and the added emphasis it gives to the themes of legacy, but it definitely wasn't necessary at all, and neither was the whole DLC.
>>738114412>I don't understand why people say this game is "one in a million" or the like,>It's not something that can't be replicated, it just hasn't.>it just hasn't.>it just hasn't.>>738114436you are obviously from some third world attention seeking country like brazil, poland or new zeeland and as such I really don't care what a gay, dickless, nonAmerican no gunz retard like you has to think or say, thirdie

>>738114537yes, you are still having a melt down, gay retard. thanks for confirming that you are still melting down>>738114505I think it would have helped if the main gameplay in the DLC wasn't so bad compared to the main gameplay in the main game where you can move around so much easier and can leave and go do other things if you get bored or frustrated
>>738108805wait, you manually landed on sun station?
>>738112910>Mixed messages, if nothing else.Not really,The time loop only give you the time/life you lack to understand what is happening.But the consequence is that nothing new can be created.So the messages is clear:- You can keep looping forever, enjoying the same thing over and over again in comfort...- Or you can face your fear and explore the one thing you have not yet explored, so at worst you'll die exploring, giving meaning to your existence.The choice you make is basically the one the Strangers faced, Afraid of death what lies beyond they tried to flee in a virtual paradise to live in forever, but they didn't get to discovers Time-loop so that paradise would eventually crumble anyway.Whereas YOU at least, decided to explore at least one last thing.
>>738114647>no uwhat happened to spewing a dozen buzzwords at once, gay retard? did mommy not make enough nuggies so you don't have the energy anymore?
>>738114585Outer Wilds is a cool game worth discussing. It would be nice if its superfans didn't use it to prop up their whole identity so it would be possible to actually discuss it without them desperately lashing out to avoid ego death every time you advance a position that isn't glowing praise
>>738114159Holy shit I watched multiple blind playthroughs and am aware of the most meme-worthy stupid ones like Joseph Anderson and pirate software retard but never knew DSP did one, how bad is it? Did he just rely on chat guiding him?

>>738114709>angst over fandom>againnot interested, retard
>>738113065>DLCI know there's a mod for that, but I still think it would have been a good addition to have a DLC focused on spaceship, alternative space, and learning what the Interlooper was
Haven't played it but Antichamber is probably better
>>738114743its only 3 videos long and I didn't watch them, I imagine he does some flying around, can't figure out what to do, and gives up
>>738114682>>738114757why would I waste energy on a nonAmerican gay retard, such as yourself, thirdie? I don't even consider you a person so why should I care? you don't matter>>738114653NTA but you can and I think there is a cheevo for doing so. there are vids on youtube of people manually landing or doing cool tricks like ejecting and landing >>738114665the strangers weren't in a literal timeloop like you are. they were in a shittier timeloop of their own creation that was much more meaningless
>>738114858Your schizophrenic ass better say something or put on a trip because you think ALL of 4chan is one person, kill yourself.
>>738114858>gay retard lashing out at one of the people actually trying to take its retardation seriouslyLMAOyou love to see it, that anon will learn their lesson about entertaining /v/irgin spergs like you when you exist purely to shitpost off of
it took me a few times to connect the dots and realize this wasn't just a random song that played while you were exploring.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVGlXbApOCs
>>738114665To be honest, on reflection I don't really think that it has mixed messages or tonal inconsistency. I just think that anon was overselling how "obvious" the ending was going to be and I don't think that other anon was wrong for expecting a different one.It's just annoying to see any criticism met with "lol you don't understand". Outer Wilds fans are way too precious and defensive about their favorite game, much like Elden Ring and Nintendo fans.
>>738114472There's a succubus hentai game that is exactly this, you are stuck in an apartment filled with demons and need to puzzle room and death loop your way out the door.It can be obnoxious because you can easily get killed without warning first time exploring and then you need to go through a long unhinged sex scene until you respawn but it's still fun and I like that it has multiple endings.One of them is just releasing a mega demon that dooms all of humanity but she also fucks up the demons keeping you captive so its up to how pitiful you are.
>>738114775I feel like that has the same issue as EotE where it's like>why did the eye appear and disappear?>why did the interloper happen?when in both cases the answer doesn't really matter and the explanation doesn't really add to the narrative >>738114903>>738114910damn, you are one angry third world tranny. gain legs and stop posting on multiple devices you mick crippled faggotAEW got canceled, btw, trev
>>738113441>the universe isn't evil it just is and sometimes things happen and it's nobody's fault and then the DLC is like no actually it's the owl guy's faultNo contradiction here, the universe isn't evil and your choice matter.Fowlk choice was to hide forever, they weren't even "evil" but were mad because they had wrong expectation and could only blame themselves for destroying their own planets ASAP to get to the eyeNomai's choice was to keep exploring, even if it was risky.And your choice is to explore no matter what, even if it is the last thing you'll ever do.
>>738114472
>>738114998>literal seconds separating the posts>gay retard doubles down
>>738114769No, it's just annoying when retards like yourself think they're smarter than they are, and use their unwarranted self-assurance to avoid actually discussing anything.My mistake for actually being here to talk about the game, I guess.
>>738115029we both know you post on your phone and laptop at the same time, trev. that's why you show up in threads on /pw/ in under 90 seconds seething with 2 messages at a time
>>738115049>its only discussion when you perfectly entertain my retardation for 100+ posts and NO I can't be wrong DON'T tell me I'm wrong
>>738114472>>738115017I hate the stealth sections in Chants of sennaar and how easy it is to brute force half the game. I think the only part that got me, other than the terrible stealth, is how that one numberpad doesn't give you feedback so I didn't realize it was on and I thought I had to go somewhere to turn the power to the room on
>>738113717I would mind none of that if the dream world features were a little bit more sophisticated.Something like going full Matrix and hacking the system, oh god, I can imagine the irony of you hacking the ADMIN code, then HIDING the thing from the Fowlk the same way they hide the Eye.Now I'm going to regret it wasn't like that
>>738115085>gay retard acting out this for mehow special
>>738113892>>738114003You don't know if there's any "God", the eye could be a natural event that just happen to react to thinking creature as a law of nature>it is absolutely open to interpretation as to if the eye is God or not
>>738115223That has nothing to do with my post. Why did you reply to me.
I almost quit in the beginning village because it looked like reddit walking slop. I almost missed out on this game man
>>738115249Same but I remapped my controls to be similar to flying in ZoE and it prevented me from jumping and I thought I had hit a bug like 5 minutes in and almost dropped it
>Anon posts about a game he liked on /v/, detailing why, engaging discussion>300+ posts calling him reddit
>>738115148mazes in the dark was so fucking bad. it's annoying how there are basically no gameplay checks in the main game, it's all knowledge checks other than like the sand cave and running to the observatory and then the DLC is just like>haha no there isn't a clever way to do this, you just gotta git gud>>738115157so do you just not get enough attention from your parents in your third world country? you aren't even a good troll, you just come off as a brazilian or polish>>738115223It's intentionally ambiguous. multiple characters call the eye God during the game and the game doesn't give you enough information to say definitively. they clearly wanted people to be able to conclude the eye is God
>>738115317>gay retard drops its schizo horseshit when it realizes it is literally cancer >backpedals to spewing buzzwords and crying>calls me a trollpathetic
>>738114817He's so predictable lmao
>>738115127>NO I can't be wrong DON'T tell me I'm wrongI mean, just try making actual arguments, maybe? Instead of finding any excuse you can to shut down discussion?Outer Wilds fans will discuss the game TO A POINT but the moment the conversation threatens to drift away from "BEST GAME EVARRRR" they immediately fall back on "lol ur dumb bye". It's exactly like Fromdrones saying "git gud", or like Nintendo fans calling you a Snoy or Sony fans calling you a Tendie. It's a retarded, childish reflex that seeks to disengage from an uncomfortable topic, and that comes from putting too much of your self worth into a game or company.I'm being sincere here: it's really not healthy. You should be well-adjusted enough that you can discuss a game without having an existential crisis, and if you aren't there yet, you should at least recognize the need to work on yourself.
>>738113765>I don't think the game makes that suggestion at all.Oh very much disagree, the implication that each Hatchling is "different" is explicitly confirmed by the player jumping into the ATP and the next loop having a hatchling waiting for you in said ATP and also creating a paradox which shatters reality.>Yes, but leading up to that it's presented as a source of hope, even if it's a desperate hope. We're talking about whether "everyone dies" was the obvious outcome.I suppose? The game never really says The Eye is in any way a "hope" to save everyone. The player might infer that stopping the loop might stop the sun from exploding, but that notion is pretty conclusively destroyed by going to the Sun Station.>Which is easily interpreted as being divine in nature, as the result of some kind of intelligent design.I'm willing to let the "divine" descriptor fly, as a lot of what the owlks do in Echoes of the Eye could be described as a people rebelling against their God after finding out it doesn't love them.

>>738115392how do your people learn how to clean toilets when your country has no toilets? do they build models for your schools?
>>738114276>>738114360>>738114423We've had people worship the Sun and planet(s) as god and goddess before.So what if some people think it is a god?This change nothing about it being a metaphor for another unexplainable object in the universe (itself unique by nature).If there was any survivor to the interlooper, they would probably make a religion about it being an evil creature or somethingOnly religious cultist are triggered by the game for implying their religious could be a cargo cult, worshiping an big dumb object akin to the Sun (except on a galactic scale).
>>738115148>were a little bit more sophisticatedTo an extent, I think that's true of the main game as well. For all the exploring you're doing, there's an enforced passiveness that renders you completely unable to actually affect anything in the world, right up to the moment you remove the core. Maybe that's kind of cool thematically, but sometimes it felt bad from a gameplay and immersion perspective. It's like exploring a museum. Obey all the signs. Look but don't touch.
>>738114996To be quite honest with you, I think that the death loop thing is played out by this point.>>738115017>Rain WorldIt's knowledge-gated in the same sense that playing Quake again and knowing where all the secrets are and how to bhop and rocketjump is knowledge gated. But other than that, great game, atrocious fandom.>GrunnI got baited into playing it and it was Ok/10.>Environmental Station AlphaDistilled autism, and I mean this in the best way possible.>>738115139>Chants of SennaarI need to stay the fuck away from this game since it triggers my conlang autism and I'll spend like 90% of my playtime getting mad over some incomprehensibly inconsequential minutae in the made-up language.I will check out these, thanks.

Genuinely and sincerely fuck that last angler fishIs the DLC worth playing
>>738115464Very kind of you to prove my point, anon!
>>738115613Absolutely
>>738115640>retard pats itself on the backthis would have been the outcome either way with you, retard, sorry your pathetic shitfits aren't worth even scanning over
>>738115537the eye literally brings all of your friends, including the dead Ayy girl back to life to hang out with you have have a sing-a-long. you are being one of those faggots who likes to shove a banana up his ass by saying that there's no way it could be God. You can't say there is or isn't a God in the game or IRL, you just don't have the information to draw a conclusion. The creators wanted it to be ambiguous in the game. How does a natural phenomenon bring all your friends back to life?>>738115589Chants was fun, but it's like a game made by some french company full of indians and french pretending to be an indie game>>738115605you've been seething at random anons in this thread for hours, retardo. no one cares what you have to say
>>738108732I think it's impressive that people accuse it of being a walking sim and somehow also get filtered by the ship controls and orbital mechanics at the same time.Oh and get filtered by the fish and the DLC for being too scary.
>>738115613It's only one location you travel to over and over again until you solve it which can get very tediousThere is also a pretty annoying stealth section in the darkBut it's aight if you can get it for free
why are you people like this?
>>738115613>>738115645>>738115763some parts of the DLC are good, but if the main game is a 9/10 or 10/10 the DLC is like a 4/10
>>738115581That's a function of the game's engine being pretty much stretched to the limit doing the calculations to keep all the objects in the solar system where they should be. The game can't really account for a bunch more player influenced physics objects fucking with all the other physics objects already happening at any given time. I think the restriction caused some inspired design choices though. The museum analogy isn't wrong though, you're always reading, measuring, changing how you're looking at things, you're not really changing the things themselves (except for the quantum objects which are literally being collapsed via measurement lol)
>>738114968The part of the game when the song plays the last time is pure cinema.
>>738115640they/them is clearly a polish or a brazilian who just wants attention and has no dick>>738115753the DLC isn't scary as much as it gets rid of like 90% of the fun aspect of the main game. and the fun part of the main game is flying the ship and jetpack. idk why people don't bring up the ship and jetpack when they want to do their gay ass>no don't describe the game at allshit
>>738115749>gay retard so assblasted and raped it is pretending to be someone elselove to see it, pic related its (You)
>>738110398If they manage to pull off another game that, while isn't exactly like Outer Wilds, but brings a similar sense of wonder, I will be a happy man. They're a studio I have actual hope for.
>>738115613The DLC is the best part of the game and don't let anyone tell you that the simulation is bad, it is kino they just got too scared.
>>738108732It's a good idea for a game, and the mechanics generally work. But some of the puzzles are genuinely bad, and the writing is extremely reddit. I still overall like it but I wish it was better.
>>738115749>brings your friends back to lifeThose are not your actual friends, those are mental representations of your friends. Pretty sure at least a couple of them acknowledge that. The ending of the game is entirely personal to the Hatchling, no one else is there. At best, you can argue for some sort of intelligence on the part of the Eye to give this sort of end of life vision to the Hatchling and facilitate the collapse of possibilities into the next Big Bang.
>>738114039It's even better if you've managed to fly to the sun station. You get to brag about it to yourself.
>>738114987>To be honest, on reflection I don't really think that it has mixed messages or tonal inconsistency.Your honesty is appreciated>It's just annoying to see any criticism met with "lol you don't understand".Well, the most annoying thing is to discover you were, in fact, wrong and didn't understand.And while I don't want to imply the game is divine with infinite depth and layers of reading, most of the time we have dumbass missing something that actually make sense in a clear way. That or disingenuous troll painfully trying to reframe the good aspect of the game as bad.>Outer Wilds fans are way too precious and defensive about their favorite game, much like Elden Ring and Nintendo fans.Fanboy aside, we do have non-stop trolls false flagging as obnoxious fan (or horribly disappointed fan who were lied to).There's even hint of a culture war against this game, I've seen a hater motivated by it being pro-science.

>>738115982This guy got scared of the big spooky owlelks everyone point and laugh.
>>738115982>it's intelligentDebatable, if there's any intelligence it's obviously not explicit, it seems to reflect the experiences of the observer back to them. >it can create a universeIt cannot do that, that is why the Hatchling is necessary and responsible for "creating" the new universe. Without a conscious observer (which the Eye is explicitly *not*) the new universe will never come into being.
>>738116085>gay retard manipulated right back into saying no ulet the raping resume, poor little gay retard
>>738115983he thought it would be like subnautica and no man sky mindlessly grinding resources like a skinnerbox and his chat got bored of him not knowing what to do because of course he didn't read or pay attention to anything so he coped about how it's a bad streaming game for his audience
>>738115249>because it looked like reddit walking slopLesson: don't let yourself be brainwashed into hating anything by through codeword like "reddit".>walking slopGameplay videos should have been enough to tell you it was at least adventurousIt would apply to the DLC tho.
>>738115448>Oh very much disagree, the implication that each Hatchling is "different" is explicitly confirmed by the player jumping into the ATP and the next loop having a hatchling waiting for you in said ATP and also creating a paradox which shatters reality.I can see why you'd reach that conclusion, but I think it's a stretch to say it's explicit confirmation. The irreverent way the hatchling talks makes it seem like a silly easter egg, and at any rate it's really getting into philosophical questions about what defines a discrete person, which the game makes no attempt to answer. Nor should it.>The player might infer that stopping the loop might stop the sun from exploding, but that notion is pretty conclusively destroyed by going to the Sun Station.The Sun Station shows that the sun is exploding because it's at the end of its natural lifespan, but the eye is still a big enough unknown that there's plenty of room to hope for an ending other than "everyone dies". With the knowledge the player has at this point, that's far from the inevitable conclusion. Unless you're remarkably fatalist, I guess.>I'm willing to let the "divine" descriptor fly, as a lot of what the owlks do in Echoes of the Eye could be described as a people rebelling against their God after finding out it doesn't love them.I appreciate that. Yeah, I got that feeling too. I think the developers did a great job of making the eye ambiguous and significant, and to capture the player's imagination. For me it's almost a shame that its purpose was shown at all, but after all the emotional investment throughout the loops, a cut to black would have felt like a massive cop out.
>>738116085>Game about literally finding GodThat is one interpretation for what the eye is but it's not really explicit.Even if that's not your read on it though, it does still feel spiritual in a sense. To me at least.
>expected comfy OW thread>got reddit fedora tier shitpile disgusting
>>738115148Going outside the bubble was so trippy and freeing at first. Then you go and pester an owlk and since they can't blow out your lamp they break your neck.
>>738115537There isn't a single moment in the game that suggests the eye is NOT divine in nature. It's at the center of the universe (figuratively, maybe literally?), is responsible for its creation, and recreation, and broadcasts a signal to attract people to it. The points made at >>738115749 also apply.You have to be deliberately obstinate to argue that a religious interpretation is invalid.
>>738116137Not to go to his defence but any other time I've seen it streamed, the chat has been atrocious and tries to spoil every little thing. That said, he is still too retarded for the game.
>>738108732It was shit todd Howard needs to get his shirt together and stop with the globalhomoisms. Why do devs think people want to save Jews every single time???

The actual literal guy who discovered the big bang saw the evidence in 1927 and said it's evidence of God and God's creation >It cannot do that, that is why the Hatchling is necessary and responsible for "creating" the new universe. Without a conscious observer (which the Eye is explicitly *not*) the new universe will never come into being.we don't know that. maybe it creates a new universe and we just don't see it>>738116213NTA they did do a good job with the ambiguity of the eye>>738116267the game literally invites the player to reach his or her own conclusion about the nature of the eye. some reddit fags can't help but tip their fedoras when they see the literal splendor of God's creation
>>738115613>Is the DLC worth playingYes and no.It's worth playing as a standalone thing but it doesn't fit the game well.
>>738115317>It's intentionally ambiguous>to be able to concludeMeaning it is completely open to interpretation and since it display no trait relating to interventionist god (even before knowing why it strangely disappeared) the first hypothesis is to consider it non-sentient.In fact, if it only birth a new universe from someone else looking into it, it imply that it has no will on its own
>>738116213>I can see why you'd reach that conclusion, but I think it's a stretch to say it's explicit confirmation. The irreverent way the hatchling talks makes it seem like a silly easter egg, and at any rate it's really getting into philosophical questions about what defines a discrete person, which the game makes no attempt to answer. Nor should it.I don't know if I'd say the game makes no attempt to answer that particular question. It certainly asks it, and the writing leans towards a particular answer IMO. Yes, the hatchling encounter is silly and irreverent, but it's mechanically sound within the rules that the game sets up. It's your memories going back to your body in the past. That's a different (you). >The Sun Station shows that the sun is exploding because it's at the end of its natural lifespan, but the eye is still a big enough unknown that there's plenty of room to hope for an ending other than "everyone dies". With the knowledge the player has at this point, that's far from the inevitable conclusion. Unless you're remarkably fatalist, I guess.I think it's the double whammy of the sun station and the conversation the player can have with Chert. Not everyone did that I imagine, but I did do those two things nearly back to back, and it led pretty inexorably to the conclusion that the universe was dying, and that's not really something you could prevent.>I appreciate that. Yeah, I got that feeling too. I think the developers did a great job of making the eye ambiguous and significant, and to capture the player's imagination. For me it's almost a shame that its purpose was shown at all, but after all the emotional investment throughout the loops, a cut to black would have felt like a massive cop out.I don't disagree that it'd be a massive copout, but yeah I'm fine with the eye being *seen* as divine especially within the story, but looking at what's presented in-game, I would lean away from looking at it that way.
>>738115581I don't disagree, but from a game design perspective, once you start letting used affect the world, you end up needing to colorcode everything they can actually interact with.Also it's an exploration game. It makes sense for you to only be observing, only interacting for the sake of understanding.It's just a shame for the DLC because it sacrificed the Spaceship aspect for that.
>>738116386>Be irl >a Catholic Priest literally discovered the actual literal event where God said >let there be light, and created the universe>homosexual fedora tippers pretend that that's evidence God doesn't exist because you are gay and narrow minded>>738116414we don't know if it needs an observer to make a new universe. what if it makes a new universe every time and we just don't see it?What if the Eye isn't God but it's something God made?again the catholic church says that genesis is, to a certain extent, allegorical and that the big bang is the mechanism though which God created the heavens and Earth
>>738116392>it literally lets you have a sing along with your friends, including the 2 dead ayysAgain, those are not *real*, those are mental representations of your memories of those people. It's not teleporting them or resurrecting them. Remember the dialogue from Gabbro:>“I tell you what, this has been really fun. And I got to help make something pretty cool, so I’ve got no complaints. I mean, not me, exactly, but close enough. It’s the kind of thing that makes you glad you stopped and smelled the pine trees along the way, you know?”
>>738108732Ok.What the fuck am I supposed to do to make the game fun? Just tell me already, because I am getting bored.
>>738116579>we don't know if it needs an observer to make a new universe.That's very explicitly stated that it does. That's why you're there.
>>738112071The three body problem trilogy is chinese exceptionalism slop written for children. If that's what you're recommending you're either a pseud or your taste in sci-fi is atrocious.
>>738115782>That's a function of the game's engine being pretty much stretched to the limit doing the calculations to keep all the objects in the solar system where they should be.That's a fair point, and something I didn't really consider.>I think the restriction caused some inspired design choices though.That's true. They made it work very well.I felt very restricted and somewhat disappointed when I first played it. I think what I wanted was for it to be Outer Worlds but a little bit more immsim, if I can put it that way. But while I think that would have launched it into the stratosphere (heh) of awesomeness, in retrospect I realize it's an unrealistic expectation, and I think it's pretty great as it is.But I'm still slightly disappointed that the final loop is basically waiting around until you can get into the Ash Twin Project. I really wanted some teleporter hopping or some other complex series of steps. I still can't help thinking that a bit more gameplay could have made it a masterpiece.But that's just me.
>>738108732>remove Ash Twin Project core>take it to The Stranger>comically bump into something midway>die>can just respawn anywayCrap game, should have deleted itself at that point
>>738116418>I don't disagree that it'd be a massive copout, but yeah I'm fine with the eye being *seen* as divine especially within the story, but looking at what's presented in-game, I would lean away from looking at it that way.NTA but there are a ton of "mundane" natural phenomenon like evolution and the big bang that the catholic church considers divine and says that God designed the mundane mechanisms of >>738116647how do you know it doesn't happen without you and you just don't see it?orhow do you know the entire thing wasn't the Eye's plan? maybe this was all an elaborate kek-u-door-eeee from the Eye and the hatchling is the one who doesn't have agency?>>738116616that doesn't say it's a mental image, maybe it's his ghost
>>738115749>How does a natural phenomenon bring all your friends back to life?Same way near-death experiences make you hallucinate things that don't exist.It could very well be a metaphor of you unknowingly diving in a drug pool before drowning.
>>738116665I will say that I expected the final solution to be some sort of sequence of going to each planet in turn or something. But the ability to pass time at the campfire, and the actual final run being genuinely fucking harrowing really sold it for me. I also, when running it the first time, wasn't aware or just forgot that you could mark locations on your hud, so I found the Vessel by going back to the seed with all the dead Nomai floating around it. I cut it insanely close.
>>738116636use the mod that reads the text to you in autistic voices>>738116734lmao, fucking same thing happened to me>>738116771it's obviously the christian god bringing your friends back to sing fly me to the moon with a penguin, now get in the damn robot
>>738116771>hallucinate things that don't existYou can't hallucinate a new colour. Everything is always a conglomerate of shit you've seen irl, as confusingly clumped together as it may be
>>738116407Hard disagree. It fits perfectly within the context of the main games' story and adds more context for the nomai and the eye.It even changes the ending of the base game if you beat it again after finishing the dlc.
>>738115753I do want more "walking simulator" that involve spaceship, orbital dynamic, and a variety of planet with difficult weather.Yes, I really want more of such "boring walking sim".
>>738116383>rain worldI started playing recently and it hasn't hooked me yet. I went through one of the gates to the sewer (?) area, but it seemed like I shouldn't be there yet, so I restarted. Exploring feels tedious due to the time limit and retracing my steps over and over, something I didn't feel in Outer Worlds.
>>738116749The game does not really indulge in ghosts or supernatural phenomena, with the exception of what you see in the eye. I'm inclined to believe it's more or less the Hatchling's mind trying to interpret what it's seeing in a way that doesn't completely melt their brain.As for >how do you know it doesn't happen without you and you just don't see it?>or>how do you know the entire thing wasn't the Eye's plan? maybe this was all an elaborate kek-u-door-eeee from the Eye and the hatchling is the one who doesn't have agency?I can't say for certain but looking at the text, taking the game for what it shows you, I don't come to that conclusion. There's not enough intention present. Instead, the Eye seems more like a mirror, rather than a living being.
>>738116887*Outer Wilds. I'm retarded.
>>738115950>Well, the most annoying thing is to discover you were, in fact, wrong and didn't understand.Sure, it is annoying when that happens, but also this is the kind of game that's heavily open to interpretation so it's not always clear cut.>Fanboy aside, we do have non-stop trolls false flagging as obnoxious fan (or horribly disappointed fan who were lied to).Yeah, I guess after enough of those encounters, it's reasonable to be on guard. I know I get that way when I suspect someone is operating in bad faith.>There's even hint of a culture war against this game, I've seen a hater motivated by it being pro-science.I can actually sort of understand that, given the state the industry is in. The game does have an unmistakable "vibe". For what it's worth, what it often comes down to is not the actual content, but the perception of ideological taint, or the feeling of being preached to/propagandized at. I'm willing to give Outer Wilds the benefit of the doubt in that regard, even if the they/them Hearthians kind of irked me.
>>738116857Great Deep was the first thing I tried to explore, then the second I got there I saw it was an ocean planet and it looked like it was the end of the world so I noped out of it. Then I fell into the black hole got confused why it didn't kill me and where I was and then the cycle restarted.Good times
>>738116887>Exploring feels tedious due to the time limit and retracing my steps over and overAgreed. To me it seems like a fantastic game that tries really hard to make itself a chore to play. The grind gets in the way of the discovery.>but it seemed like I shouldn't be there yetProbably a wise choice. I pushed through and it turned into a massive pain for reasons I won't get into.>*Outer Wilds. I'm retarded.Haha, no, it's an easy mistake to make. I'm constantly having to double check my posts to make sure
>>738116383It's definitely a severe case of 10/10 art direction, 10/10 level/world design, 10/10 atmosphere, dogshit gameplay.Even if you have the movement absolutely nailed down, you're not safe from physics jank, invisilizards and/or funny tentacle blueberries camping the only way forward.It helps to approach it as a IWBTG game, i.e. with a "how will the game troll me today?" mindset. Some parts of the game are so cancerous (That fucking rain deer marathon, I swear to god) that I wouldn't blame anyone for using mods to just get through.
>>738116784doesn't the nomai ship have a unique audio thing to follow?
>>738116857The game sold itself to me when I realized all the planets were physical objects with orbits and zero loading screens. But I knew I was playing something special when I got into the interloper the first time by riding it around the sun.
>>738111202VS is a more interesting game in every single aspect. It's the game people should be making constant threads about as a "genre defining game", but because it requires you to have an IQ over 100 and solve puzzles more complex than "put the round block in the round hole", it received only cult acclaim.We've got to talk about Myst but shittier instead because there's a generation of zoomers who grew up without playing a point and click, so they're blown away by basic breadcrumb design.
>>738116749>that doesn't say it's a mental image, maybe it's his ghostGhosts isn't really the proper term for them. They are hallucinations in a way, but more interpretations of the threads that you (You) have talked to and now know, which help create the new universe. In the ending image of the new universe you get different aspects there depending on whether you talked to Solanum and then the Stranger too. If you want to get more philosophical you could say that it's through making these connections that you made a more complex and interesting tapestry of life, that if it was just you/the hatchling at the very end of things.
>>738116085>Game about literally finding GodActually the religious culture warrior I was talking about hated the game because he felt it DENIES that god exist by making it look like a natural event.>it's the catholic church's positionCouldn't care much of their position, religion may have been a previous attempt to understand the world, but the scientific methods & communities do it much better now, without being held back interpreting paper poorly written and full of hole (if it wasn't just the first attempt to manipulate people with cult behavior)
>>738117174The signal is too degraded, only the escape pod in Dark Bramble, and Feldspar have their own audio to follow.
>>738112071>I recommend the three body problem trilogy.The second book is mildly entertaining purely for the ending, the first book has some nice intrigue but the solution isn't worth the investment and the last book is just pure seething about women with no value whatsoever.It's better as a look into the mindset of bugmen than it is as actual sci-fi.
>>738117132>It helps to approach it as a IWBTG game, i.e. with a "how will the game troll me today?" mindset.I'm happy to do that, but I'm still not sure if I'm happy to invest time into the grind, especially because all the 10/10 elements basically force me to play for 5+ hours straightIt almost feels like it'd be worth playing it like a (god forbid) roguelike, just starting fresh every time instead of getting bogged down in one miserable, prolonged attempt.>Even if you have the movement absolutely nailed downI don't. I get filtered by the inconsistent fluidity and even by swapping hands. Everything is so tiny and hard to see too!I'll probably give it another try though. Maybe with mods, maybe not. It's just too fascinating to drop.
>>738117279I must have tracked the escape pod and then shot the probe to get to the nomai ship because I don't think I marked it on the map
>>738117548Yeah that's exactly what I did, and I cut it so close the sun exploded right after I warped to the Eye with the Vessel.
>>738117274>religion may have been a previous attempt to understand the world, but the scientific methods & communities do it much better nowNTA but I think both are important, and one without the other is going to miss important elements.Obviously science is much better for a practical, actionable understanding, but humans have a need for the spiritual and philosophical that seems to make them go insane when they try to reject it.
>>738116329The idea that "only god create universe" is only your personal interpretation.You can't even know if it isn't a Simulation hypothesis now that the DLC let you experience that exact possibility.>The points made at >>738115749 also applyAlready debunked, you could be hallucinating all of itThe developers just made it more fun that tripping on drugsWant a "god"? It was actually a repeating simulation created by alien to see if intelligent lifeform would emerge of it.In Talos Principle (pic) the entire game is essentially this because mankind was going extinct from a virus and tried to create artificial intelligence in their last moment
>>738117274>scientific methodsYes>communities do it much better now, without being held back interpreting paper poorly written and full of holeLMAOThe only paper they interpret is the cash they get for faking studies for propaganda and population control purposes

Why would God create man in his image and give him the gift of knowledge and curiosity if he didn't want us to discover the nature of his work and creations? >>738117614I feel like I almost ran out of air and time when I did it. I also got to the ship like 3 or 4 times and then the first time I tried to do it with the core I died >>738117635you can interpret it either way
>>738116887>>738117405Don't be fooled, the game is very hard, harder than many games widely considered to be difficult, i.e. souls games.To complete it you really have to just refuse to quit. Some specific sections require bashing your head against them if RNG decides that it hates you that day, but most others are fairly doable once you get hang of the game. But it's not THAT bad - I can name about 2, maybe 3 specific places off top of my head that require just straight up grinding attempts - that's out of literal THOUSANDS of rooms. You can go very far by using just the basic movement and using whatever you can find to your advantage. Sussing out how certain creatures think and behave can go a very long way, too.The gate grinding was supposed to be the game's way of making sure you got the hang of the survival basics of a specific area before it lets you into a more difficult area, the current version has an option to patch that out in case the grind is too annoying (which it sometimes is).In the end, I'd recommend only using barest minimum of mods/optional assistance since it will undermine the impact of absolutely kino moments the game has in store for you.
>>738117635>The idea that "only god create universe" is only your personal interpretation.I'm not arguing that this is the case at all. I'm only arguing that the eye being divine is a very valid interpretation.>Talos PrincipleSpoiler marking doesn't really work when you already spoiled the main point, but whatever.Functionally, a creator is a god from the perspective of what is created. Even if the creator is human. A god doesn't have to be a the literal abrahamic God, it just has to be an intelligence whose understanding of the universe dwarfs that of its creations.
>>738117292Hard disagree. The third book is the best. The first one has nice pacing but the only cool parts are the Chinese cultural revolutionion segments. The second book is kind of mediocre except for the "teardrop" segment which elevates the entire book.
>>738117969The third book is literally just "woman ruins everything". There's nothing more to it than that, it's the weakest book by a mile.

Specifically stated that it does as some sort of certainty.>what if it makes a new universe every time and we just don't see it?What if your experience is just one birth/death loop that just happened to randomly generate religious symbol this time?What if it's part of a multiverse with infinite variation and this one just happened to be a combination that look religious?As video goes, the interpretation is as OPEN as you can do.

>>738116830>it's obviously the christian god bringing your friends back to sing fly me to the moon with a penguin, now get in the damn robotI see where you are going with that one and it's tumbling down.
>>738108732I think for me it's how immersive the game is by simply not getting in the way of itself with pop ups on screen immediately as you start the game with tutorial messages or a mini-map or a quest marker telling me where to go.It's the lack of all the common UI intrusions that somehow have become part of a lot of games these days that make it so easy to get immersed into. Less is better, plus Space is fun and just exploring at your own pace with this cool mystery as the hook going on makes gives the motivation to continue on exploring more.
>>738118160You can (not) be serious, anon.
>>738116839>You can't hallucinate a new colourDon't be so sure about that one, if drugs can scramble your memories, it can create memories.But it's true the ending is specifically about you remembering everyone you've met.
>>738117898>talk to the prisoner>it creates a creepy childmolsterLittle bit rude. The Prisoner even asks if you're sure about adding his influence when his people were fearful rather than curious.
>>738118103>Stop selling your cult,good morning, saar! and shalom>The first person to obtain data in that direction could have been fan of Heavy-metal, but it wasn't. it was a Catholic Priest looking for God's glory. Just like the Nomai were looking for God's glory. The Nomai literally never dismiss the possibility that the Eye is God.>Specifically stated that it does as some sort of certainty.we don't know. it could happen and we just don't see it. everything that happens in the eye is just speculation. none of the characters actually know what's happening or have anyway of knowing what's happening>>738118135it's a totally different game>>738118160kek>>738118295if the eye didn't want him there, why did it call him?
>>738118356>if the eye didn't want him there, why did it call him?Oh I want him there too. His people might have been fearful and felt betrayed by the Eye, but I think even if those get transferred across, so does his bravery for defying them.
>>738116981Glad we've been able to see past 4chan traditional shit flinging and agree on stuff.I will agree that it is easy to oversell this game to a public who just isn't into that kind of game.As Sci-Fi and alien goes, Outer Wilds is still very conservative, humanoid instead of who know, a hivemind? a species that became a hivemind? a hivemind that worked hard to split itself into distinct hive? (I don't remember seeting that one)
>>738118454I know you wanted him there, but the Eye also called him.

>>738118706You sound vaccinated
>>738118703maybe the eye thought he was cute
I just gave it a good faith try. Really wanted to enjoy a unique game. My mind was open.Sadly after 1 hour I can definitely say it's not a good game, anon.
>>738117898You'll have to excuse me for wanting to steer away from another "My religion is the true one! Here are coincidental proofs of it".And beware with your loaded question (implying your pro-religion take is the only answer) you'll just attract trolls mocking their circularity.>you can interpret it either wayAs long as we agree it is 100% open and no interpretation (natural event / divine / simulation) has (objectively) more value over the other, we can stop here.Here's a gift for you:My pic is from the manga "2001 Night story" (chapter 7), you may like it.

>>738118356>if the eye didn't want him there, why did it call him?He only appears if you've encountered him, so stop starting from the interpretation a "divine" eye willed it so.You only hallucinate/whatever him as a result of your action, and this is also your choice whether he participates in the sing along.The new universe that get created change in function of your choices

>>738119710Either you've jumped in mid conversation without reading or you are clearly a moron.The entire point is that Outer Wilds has eclipsed Bioshock infinite as the pretentious "Smart game for smart gamers", you faggot.

The fact that I could destroy the space-time continunium, or whatever, and have the game just flat out tell me I fucked up and need to start a new game was great. Actually was a bit scared while it was happening. This game is comfy to play at night with a drink and a drive to explore.
I finished the game in 8 hours and it didn't leave much of an impression. Coming here and witnessing it being shilled as "the thinking man's game" or as a life-altering experience amuses me.

>>738120817you should look into early catholic theology on free will and god's plan. outer wilds either intentionally or accidently reflects the whole >god doesn't exist in time and comes up with elaborate plans because he is able to see things like Dr. Manhattan and account for everyone's free will because he can see the future that Tolkein and Alan Moore reference with the god in his timeless hall in LotR and Dr. Manhattan in watchman. The eye literally exists out of time. they literally show you that the eye exists out of time with the alien you meet on the moon and the ending you get if you pull the core and hang out on the quantum moon. you obviously have free will, you are the player, you made decisions and you got to deice if you wanted to meet the prisoner and the alien and if you wanted to bring them to the eye, but the eye exists outside of time so it was able to observe your decisions when formulating it's elaborate grand planthe catholic church believes everyone has free will and that everyone is part of god's plan

(I don't remember seeting that one)That's conservative in a sense of the word, but I wouldn't consider that relevant the the question of politics, if that's what you're implying? But it depends on who you ask, I guess. Personally, I think weird and alien shit like hive minds is cool, and less likely to carry real-world political baggage. I just prefer games to be free of political ideology in general. Or at least free of activism. You can't completely divorce them from political ideology, since that often goes hand in hand with art.

I cut it insanely close.I died to a cactus right after I took out the coreBest ending, desu
>>738118078The entire australia genocide plot. The entire 10 dimensional universe and light speed decaying because of game theoretical warfare were front and center and the most interesting concepts in the entire trilogy.
>>738120537>noo the big bang was created by ancient ayyyysIt really is valid. So is the Simulation hypothesis.>>my religion is science shitThat one is yours, science isn't a religion,>and who set up the laws of physics and nature that created the circumstances where the eye emitted the light?Neither of us know, and you have no proof of it being from some conscious entity that don't enter in conflict with a billion of scientific discovery.>you can have free will and still be part of God's plan."yes yes you have free will, even if you are incapable of doing anything I don't want you since I already predicted everything that would happen because of my action and thus you can't be responsibles of anything you do, ah just kidding, I should stop talking to myself about my puppets in my video game."Anyway,There's nothing that allow to say the entity we call "the eye" is sentient or have any will, hallucination or not.We just don't understand what it is and it shows no plan we would call as intelligent. For all that is known the whole "something always push the universe reset button with different variable" is a natural phenomenon as part of a multiverse where some universes obey different rules and don't even appear/disappear.
>>738122180>even if you are incapable of doing anything I don't want youpretty sure rapists and murderers do things he doesn't wantagain, in LotR Saruon chooses to be evil. > and it shows no plan we would call as intelligent.it literally shows you the poem, observatory and your friends. It picked your solar system where the hatchling was instead of an empty one and it picked the nomai because they would do everything they could to look for it
>>738108732i worry that their new game wont even come close to being as good as this was
>great game>/v/ can't just say they like it, they have to be weird about it and talk about irrelevant stuff like how the steam reviews are "reddit"fucking shameful, you guys are a bunch of high school girls in the bodies of grown ass men
>>738121869>if that's what you're implying?No no no, not in the political sense no,Outer World take on alien is "conservative" only in the sense that it just copied what we are already used to instead of postulating multi-dimensional aliens mind that don't even perceive time the way we do and reproduce by removing part of their own mind to assemble new individual so it can grow, or something?If I made a space DLC for OW it would be an alternate dimension that don't change when you are in it, so you'd frequently go in/out to make the dimension change in a way you want, I'd still keep the timeloop mechanic by saying your soul is ejected out or something.>I think weird and alien shit like hive minds is cool, and less likely to carry real-world political baggage.Oh my naive anon. If the game had aliens who were specifically stated as hermaphrodite, these thread would be (even more) infested of culture warrior claiming it's a woke conspiracy...etcAlien hive mind only get a pass because it's usually the alien enemy.
>>738108732This is probably the most overrated and most boring walking simulator I had ever played.
>>738111226That was the sun exploding.Your objective is to find out why the sun is exploding and how to stop it.
>>738122180>That one is yours, science isn't a religion,Have you personally tested everything you believe about science, or are you just going by what the approved public concusses is?I'm going to guess you haven't observed any stars blowing up and eat cooked food. 0 experimentation, 100% faith.The scientist are your priests. The peer reviews are your bible. The indoctrination camp- err, I mean the schools; are your church
>>738122392>pretty sure rapists and murderers do things he doesn't wantOmnipotence mean "he" would have made so they will do it (determinism), while knowing so (omniscience), so either that "he" don't actually exist and certainly not following a random paper wrote in the desert, or he is just a bored gamer playing with puppets.>it literally shows you the poem, observatory and your friends.Oxygen deprivation will make you hallucinate those just as well.>It pickedNo proof of sapience here. It's just a space object that was observable by anyone with the tech level to do so, the Fowlk just happened to be the first, then hid the space object from everyone else until one of them bravely went against religious obscurantism, stranding a curious Nomai ship that just happened to see it, maybe others ignored it, they died but Hearthian evolved on the planet then our characters was caught in the loop that led it to reach the Eye which may not have been "waiting" anything but just following convoluted laws of physics that could very well be a Video game for some bored godling's kid.
>>738123114>concussesconsensusfucking auto correct
This is the first game I bought purely because of the hype. EVERYONE was talking about it, the reviews were 99% positive. I had no intention of playing it, I did not see what was so good about it. But I said fuck it and trusted the hivemind.And guess what?It's reading galore of some heckin alien technology and the best part is... you get to do the same shit in the same location over and over again because... uh time loop or something? ISN'T THAT SO FREAKING COOL DUDE, pass the bong btw.I went way above the 2 hours of the refund window because I thought "this will get better, it HAS to". And it never got better. This was the day I decided against buying games purely because "people say it's good but I can't tell you why because that spoils it!!!!". I guess I paid money for a life lesson so there's a positive side to that story, I guess.
>>738123114Their methods are more trustworthy and repeatable than anything religious/cultist. So science&school are still a better bet.
I really want to 'get it' but i dont think i do.I put 14hours to this; and im still kinda waiting it to start - is there any point continuing? I think i have most of the notes up.I think latest 'puzzle' i am in is the sand falling room or so; with the teleporting quantum rocks or whateverThe game just feels kinda aimless and none of the 'mysteries' feel inviting at all.
>>738123130>Omnipotence mean "he" wouldtips fedora>Oxygen deprivation will make you hallucinate those just as well.tips fedora even harder>>738123130EotE isn't canon because it was bad. if the eye didn't want to be found, it wouldn't have sent the signal and it wouldn't have picked your solar system. the ghost sequence at the end is the eye, god, talking to the player
>>738123414>Their methods are more trustworthy and repeatablewhat percentage of peer reviewed studies are actually peer reviewed? it's pretty much none of them. go read some actual studies, a ton of absolute garbage gets published. especially in social science or like anything with health/medicine/food where someone is trying to sell something. there was a funny one recently where some anti gun group tried to pay for a study to find that gun owners had small dicks and the results of the study were that gun owners had larger cocks than the general pop and anti gunners have micrococks
>>738123153Same and the worst part is that every time before buying games blindly because of the praise was worth it.I did it for undertale, soma, talos principle, frost punk and those are some of my favorite experiences ever.Meanwhile outer wilds disappointed me when I forced myself to finish it. So now I can never trust the /v/ hivemind ever again.
>>738108732so how do I deal with ghost matter
>>738125037Take pictures to see where the death box is and go around it. It doesn't overlay the rocks a lot of times
>>738125037you use your probe launcher to check if your path is safewalk a bit,repeat,
>>738125142the kid at the home planet says it disappears on its own after a long time so I was just standing there inside the interloper taking pictures waiting for it to go away.thanks this might help
>actually went to cry on /pol/ over this game because he got btfo'd hereKEKAROOOOO
>>738125251>interloperYeah I figured you would be stuck there or on a part of the dlc I had some trouble with it since there's a part to get to the central chamber where it seems like you can almost tank the damage and get there, but there's actually another path above that's not very visible which takes you around it.
