>still the best vidya experience since the N64 days when I was a kid
I don't know what it is exactly about this game that make it stand out so much from all the indie slop and the triple A bullshit I can't even force myself to play anymore. The game has zero replay value. It just is what it is for 20 hours and then it's gone forever. Maybe it's because it didn't demand anything of me except for my curiosity. The story isn't particularly intriguing either, yet I was really hooked on it while it lasted. It felt like I was actually discovering shit.

biggest pseud vidya out there. zero actual depth or quality to it.

Part of the game's message is learning to let go mate

I started dragging my ass and going a slow as possible when I could tell it was almost over
I didn't want it to end

>>717191247 (OP)
This game is really just a white man simulator. Almost forgot everything about it, can't wait to replay it in full VR.

>>717191479
You should really try playing it. One of the few games that actually lives up to the hype it gets.

>>717191479
>zero actual depth or quality to it.
Vid related always makes me think of people who call Outer Wilds a walking sim

>>717191676
I did play it. It has nothing of actual meaning to offer. Except for the whole simulation of a solar system gimmick. It was guerilla shilled to oblivion and falsely put in reference to actual older adventure games that still nobody plays even if they ""adore"" OW.
Basically it's everything that's wrong with the gaming "indie" (it had a million $ marketing budget btw) industry.

imagine actually picking 'contrarian faggot' as your main personality because you got bullied out of liking every single thing you used to enjoy >>717192008

>>717191526
The main game I just wanted to get to the end asap to see what happens, but in EotE I felt it when I figured out how to beat the alarms, it felt like the last puzzle piece and it was

>>717192131
I said my peace. You and your friends keep on pretending this game is anything else than false praise.

>>717192347

I... don't even know what are you arguing against.

>>717192008
What's actual meaning to you?

>>717192412
It's not fake, it's shallow. Hence you being a pseud.

The level design is stellar. Also it's pure ludo, you figure things out from experimentation, you go to places from harnessing the physics and the game mechanics, there's no fat, no padding, no bullshit.
You can tell easily anyone who doesn't like it is a brown moviegame snoygger who doesn't understand shit about the medium

>>717192667
What's an example of a deep game to you? I must know.

figured out quantum moon, and can get to the eye of the universe, but the door is blocked by the quantum stone stuff.

Actually play games instead of virtue signaling on the internet and find out for yourself loser. ""faustian spirit"" and all that, kek.

The game clearly did something right because I'm still thinking about it nearly every day three years later after playing it

seemed just like multiple layers of Ancient Aliens™ to me

>>717194118
He can't do it lmao

>>717194017
>>the game fills out and explains the things you encounter, leading you on
Optional, but it's on by default so fair enough. It's to balance out the time limit so you don't waste a loop because you couldn't read fast enough and have to repeat it the next loop.

Saying things are shit and then refusing to elaborate just makes you sound like a retard. I think the game gets a bit too much praise, and if we weren't surrounded by games that constantly insist on holding your hand it wouldn't have hit people the way it did, but it unquestionably is an excellent example of exploration in video games. Handing waving it as a "solar system gimmick" undermines how cleverly the progression system is put together.

>>717193968
You're not that close

>>717195545
I did elaborate on the game being shit. It is precisely what you never do on these threads; actually discuss the game. Instead you just throw these retarded praises and how elated you felt when playing the game. Every single thread for this game is the same shit. You don't discuss anything, not even just gameplay, because there is nothing to discuss, the game shallow as a puddle and it secrets mean nothing and the whole "universe is dying" is so ham-fisted and lame that it only appeals to little kids who only played minecraft and roblox before.

>>717192008
> It has nothing of actual meaning to offer.

Explain what you mean, don't just spew meaningless vague sentences.

>wait a minute....

>>717196251
> "universe is dying" is so ham-fisted

It's quite literally the central focus point of the story and the gameplay, what are you talking about

>>717196251
Buddy, the game has a knowledge based progression system that works solely on you experimenting and researching how the unique manchics of each world works. Which are all unique to each planet. It's a fairly unique idea. In a landscape of copypasted focus group approved game design, it was refreshing to be placed in several varied worlds and tasked with understanding how to they work. Adding to that the time limit encourages you to mix the exploration of different areas together, and in doing so you're generally rewarded with information related to other planets you may not have picked up on. I can understand if exploration in games doesn't resonate with you personally, but painting people that do enjoy this particularly good example of the concept as retards makes you come off as being intentionally obtuse.

>>717191247 (OP)
Game is what retards think is deep.
You're literally just going around following instructions left on walls of text.

>>717191247 (OP)
>you need to wait til you go senile and get severe memory losses to enjoy it again


fuck this world

>>717197206
>instructions
They're merely hints that often only makes sense in the right context, hidden within a story of its own. It never tells you where to go or what to do.

>>717197206
The 12 Labors of Hercules were just him going around following instructions

>>717197457
It's also the most boring way to approach the game. Much of it can be sorted out if you're willing to observe and experiment with the systems.

>>717197457
>Wait a minute... That card...
>OI M8 DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME OF THE TORNADOS SPIN THE OTHER WAY
>Anon flies into the backwards tornado
>Screams in euphoria as he solves "the puzzle".

>>717197131
it gives you a sense that you figured out that is basically false since the game fucking tells you half the things. You don't need to think in this game, just use everything you find and see what happens. It's a phony ass game for phony ass people.

>>717197206
Give us an example of what you think is a deep game.

People say outer wilds is a deep game because the world doesn't pander to the player, you are at the whims of gravity, and the sun. You're given the responsability to discover clues in any order and figure it out yourself. The ending is open to interpretation and somewhat ambiguous. This is to force you to engage with the subtext, the themes of the game. The themes of the game are consistently reinforced but told in different ways through the stories of the races involved and their interaction with the eye.

damn thor really hates that game now

>>717196251
Opposed to what? A game with exp points and a leveling system? We can't discuss the story without spoiling the game, and you're right there's not much to discuss anyway but how it made us feel.

>>717197808
you need to play more games. No, I won't tell you which ones, and yes, there are many many games much batter than this phony crap.

>>717197808
> you are at the whims of gravity, and the sun.

I like that they use UI prompts (that people ignore) instead of yellow paint

>>717197707
A lot of players discovered that by accident. That hint is a failsafe in case you don't and get stuck. It's very typical of adventure games.

>>717192008
Outer Wilds is the best game I have ever played and I unironically look forward to your recommendations of games that are better than it

>>717197967
the card is literally on the main path the game leads you on the whole time.

>>717192008
How would you feel right now if you hadn't eaten breakfast today?

>>717198256
Hungry.

>>717198178
There's no main path. You can follow the instruments but that doesn't lead you to the southern observatory anyway.

>>717198302
Why?

Calling something shit and then refusing to give an example of something you think is better is top tier shitposting. Truly excellent tomfoolery.

>>717197923
He really can't do it. Can't even name a single game.

>>717197808
He can't. He doesn't even know what he means when he says it isn't deep. He's just parroting things he's seen other people say, and he's not really enjoying his life lately so he just wants to be mad about everything. The fact that he has an IQ lower than 100 doesn't help anything either.

dropped it 5 hours in cuz of the dogshit spaceship controls

I think he likes the game but saying shit like that gives him guaranteed (you)'s because you guys are autistic and can't help yourself

>>717197721
So your chief complaint is that the game holds your hand too much? Anon, I just flat out don't believe that you have a library of games that do better exploration in less of a guided manner, and it's plainly obvious why you won't offer any examples of such. You're here to play internet contrarian and bait out replies.

>>717198463
He just outed himself hard. He thinks there's a "main path" in the game because he followed a youtuber or streamer through the enitre game so I he thinks that's the "path"

>>717197942
and yet you didnt refute him

>>717191247 (OP)
Yeah, it felt like stepping back into how vidya felt in my childhood for me too. I think it's mostly down to how completely novel and polished it is -- all AAA shit is boiled down to a precise formula nowadays so the only innovation's with indies, and the trade-off for that is they're all incomplete or choppy. To get something that's both so outside the norm and so well-made is sadly rare.

>>717198961
The spaceship controls are extremely intuitive and natural to use.

>little kiddies like the game for it's "exploration"
>can't fathom to go out and actually explore their hobby for better games

He probably got filtered by gravity wells

>>717199118
They're pretty reliant on gravitational force and inertia in a relatively manual way. Probably not intuitive if you've never engaged with a system like that. I really enjoyed it, but I could also see how someone could bounce off it.

>>717199128
>Exploration
>Nothing to explore

>>717191247 (OP)
players just want a big world with real exploration and something to discover with no waypoints and checkboxes or fast travel on everything, the ubislop type of design killed whole point of openworlds

>>717199385
Yeah I mean, that all makes sense though. It's intuitive cause you would expect the way you move relative to the gravitational forces. I think maybe he's a retard and doesn't into physics and that's why he couldn't figure it out

My problem with it is I can never unequip the knowledge boots

tower of quantum knowledge, you have to take a picture to land on the quantum moon, teleport in the dark, the jellies to get into the center of the planet, you have to teleport to the ash twin project through the falling sand. There bitch now you remember it. good luck playing it anytime soon

>>717199525
Basically yeah. And most games with flight mechanics are much more automated and forgiving to player input. So if you just want to get around without having to think at all the game was never going to appeal to him anyway.

>>717199732
