It was fun in the beginning when things were fresh and exciting and there were new discoveries around every corner, but now it's just mind numbing tedium.

I am tired of wasting 20 minutes just to go investigate something to get one single line in my ship log (usually the exact same concept I've seen a half dozen other places in the game) that leads to absolutely nothing.

I am tired of having to fly all the way to bumfuck, nowhere for some stupid puzzle and not knowing if I can even solve it right now, or if actually the solution is on the other side of the galaxy in some unexplored area, wrapped under its own layers of bullshit.

I am tired of making a single misstep deep in a cave, or not being able to figure out the one specific obtuse puzzle solution the devs have chosen, and having repeat the entire loop again, then hurriedly try to solve the puzzle and cram all the readings down my throat before the sun explodes and forces me to start over from scratch.

And these readings and puzzle solutions which ultimately amount to... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Seriously, I have never seen a game that has both ZERO progression whatsoever, and also a completely static world. NOTHING changes from the second you start until the second you end. There is no combat, there are no tools, there are no upgrades, there are no permanent changes, there is no character progression, there are no environmental changes, there are no resources, there is NOTHING that is different, and your very first loop is the same as your 100th. Literally the ONLY ability I've earned in 15 hours is the ability to kill myself and start the next loop early, which should have been there from the jump. And the world is also completely fucking static, there are ZERO random elements, there are ZERO changes you can influence, and things always happen in the EXACT SAME ORDER every single time.

I am so ready to just drop it. I don't care about the worldbuilding, or some furfag race of Nomai, or the nonsensical physics that they just make up on the spot. I've already seen 95% of the game, and now comes the last 5% where I must wring blood from a stone to just get a single line of flavortext.

(Also I'm playing with the Echoes of the Eye DLC, not sure if that matters, or what parts of the game are part of that DLC)

>>717356253
It sounds like you never even found the dlc location
Anyway, the game isn't that hard. You can do everything in 20 minutes or less

>>717356234 (OP)
I would skip it if I were you. Don't force yourself to enjoy entertainment, that's just absurd.
I was hooked on this game for a weekend, couldn't put it down until I was done with it. The DLC didn't grab me the same way, so I just didn't play it.

>>717356234 (OP)

Game's boring shit, i finished it with my boyfriend yesterday. I appreciate the effort they went through gameplay wise in designing each planet and flying to each and yada yada but the whole "nono you see you need constant back and forth and clues and uh time limit and redo a segment 30 times is FUN"

>>717356596
I am not surprised, there is like 500 red herrings that just lead to flavor text and lore dumps, and a couple events that actually do anything.

You have no tools or abilities, and there is zero progression or carryover between runs, so you have an extremely limited toolset with how you can approach situations, it's easier to just figure it out with trial and error.

>>717357057
>>Progression isn't tied to numbers, but your understanding of the game world

No wonder you incels and redditors like it so much, it's a game for people with nothing going on in their lives so they need to feel "smart" by remembering "oh this place told me i have to take a screenshot of the moon if i want to go in! i'll remember that" while people who actually have a life, a job and relationships want videogames to be FUN, not some pathetic "hey remember that tweet you just read from an alien? weeeell now you PROBABLY gotta go to Y planet to see what it was about!!"

You're unironically retarded, if not bait. Painful to read.

I'm surprised people have any difficulty with this game at all
You can brute force your way into one of the final rooms in 10 minutes just by using a bit of common sense

>>717357057
I already understand the world. If there is some kind of trigger, I just want to get it over with already, because so far I have done like 20 different plot threads and they all led to dead ends with a small lore dump or just rewording something I already knew and found out from a half dozen other locations.

I played the whole game blind and thought spoilers would really ruin it, but there is basically nothing to ruin. It's just a gay "experiential" type game where you just wander around planets and repeat the same bullshit over and over.

Because there is zero railroading, signposting, or even subtly leading you to one location, they had to make it so every single path you can take basically reaches the same result. What that amounts to is you just hear the same shit over and over and over because the game has to be designed in such a way that the experience is identical for someone who went to any given area first vs. last

1. You wouldn't even know any of the locations or the puzzles if you "Brute force it"
2. Game literally has timers and "slow sections" like Dark Brittle so your whole "in 10 minutes" is a lie and shows you didn't even play it

>>717357567
Yes, retard. And you can also guess a number I picked 1-100 and get it right in a few guesses.

Because that's exactly what it is you fucking moron, and that's WHY we don't like it.

It's a bunch of pointless frivolous dead ends where you accomplish nothing and learn nothing, with a couple of those actually being the critical path that matters and the rest is just irrelevant, time-wasting window dressing.

What, pray tell did they fuck up with the execution?

>>717358504
Read the thread dumbfuck

>>717358534
The argument you can brute force it doesn't work. Your odds of doing exactly what you have to do to beat the game without actually trying to figure it out actively is basically zero. That's like saying you could beat a chess grandmaster with no experience by moving random pieces.

Sounds like you need to break the loop

>>717358662
you are an illiterate retard

see >>717357734

99% of the shit you do in this game serves no purpose beyond an entry in your ship log. There are dozens upon dozens of dead ends that amount to nothing except flavor text.

>>717358772

He doesn't know

There actually is a "fuck off and fly super far away" ending, 3 different ones actually. With credits rolling and everything. They are all bad endings though

>>717358960
>you flew several thousand km away to the point where the supernova didn't even come remotely close to you, but that wasn't enough!!!
nah, I'm good, game is retarded. I'm not holding a key down for 22 minutes straight

Every single /v/ user has looked up solutions to this game like that piratenigger. Every single one that particularly brags about anything related to the game has looked up every single solution.
And every single one of them will deny this while throwing petty insults when you call them out.

>>717357734
Literally everything in the game is connected and will lead you to the same ending but somehow you are understanding it as dead ends?

>>717359387
No, you dumbfuck, a dead end lore entry that is similar to the other 49 I already had is not "leading me to the same ending" unless the ending arbitrarily demands you have 50 bullshit lore entries in your ship log before you can see it

>>717359183
The only thing I had to look up hints for was the jellyfish thing, and that's only because the game didn't make it clear enough that the tentacles won't zap you if you exit the ship. Could have figured it out on my own if I experimented a little more, but I had no idea if I had missed a clue somewhere.

the permanant change is you op

>>717356253
>I am so ready to just drop it.
then just drop it already, you already know you're not enjoying yourself. Why the FUCK would you stick around

>>717359754
Which would be fine if 99% of the game wasn't loredump padding, AND it didn't gate everything behind layers of repetitive Groundhog Day bullshit tedium

>>717359183
I only had to look up the quantum moon solution because I felt it did not make sense how the moon would disappear whilst I was looking directly at it and trying to enter its atmosphere.
>>717358772
(you) did escape the galaxy. But that doesn't stop the time loop, dummy.

>>717359183
Only thing I looked up was The sand planet alignment with the sandstorm tornado to transport you
No idea how you could have known that, and even knowing that half the time it flings you out of the tornado and you die instantly so just fucking it up once would lead you to believe that isn't what you are supposed to do.

>>717359183

I literally opened a youtube speedrun video and recreated 1:1 everything he did except i also installed a Cheat Mod to disable the anglerfish AI.

>>717359997
>only had to look up the quantum moon solution because I felt it did not make sense how the moon would disappear whilst I was looking directly at it and trying to enter its atmosphere.
How the fuck did you have to look that up when the game tells you the solution in like 50 different places and forces you to do multiple trials using the mechanic

>>717356234 (OP)
I have to confess.
I cheated at the Ash Twin Project section and the unavoidable Bell section of the DLC because I couldn't figure it out and got impatient when the end was right within my grasp.

I still didn't understand not even half of the story after watching several video essays and reading a huge reddit wall of text about it.

>>717360113
I told you it didnt make sense. I was looking directly at the moon and it disappears because I got too close?

So... we all agree the DLC is worse than the main game, right?

>people on /v/ call me retarded when they looked shit up while I played blind as intended
Shit meme game

>>717360223
Its got lower lows but higher highs desu. Its kino near the end when you find the solutions.

It's the kind of game you appreciate once it's done.
But fuck yes are some things annoying to get to or just plain bullshit. It's a 7/10 game, 8/10 once you finished it, but no masterpiece because of all the retard cave/ just a bit too weird puzzle mechanics.

>>717360223
Yes. The final solution was retarded because it breaks the foundation of the game and the only way you could get a hint at it is if you're bad and accidentally killed yourself in a certain area.

>>717360220
They literally make you use the camera like 10 times though in trials

I'm not saying the logic isn't retarded, it is, just that the solution the game wanted should have been obvious

>>717360259
You're posting on /v/, that means you're retarded.

I think he means the sun station. And yes, you could brute force that one easily if you just find the tower.

>>717360318
Yeah it was cool in the beginning but retreading the same long paths just to get a brief instance to explore one route or do one puzzle, repeat dozens more times got old very fast

>>717359108
>holding a key down for 22 minutes straight
Nevermind the game, you don't know how acceleration in space works.

>>717360496
>retreading the same long paths just to get a brief instance to explore one route or do one puzzle
There are shortcuts everywhere you dolt. They were there the whole time but usually become obvious after going the long (intended) route.

>>717360403
The game literally tells you the solution if you find the right reels.

>>717360593
Holding down accelerate increases your rate of acceleration, retard. You can very easily tell this by using a location as reference

>>717360789
Yes and my reaction was "why would I do that? I don't want to restart the run"
That's what i mean when it breaks the game's foundation. You are expected to abandon your preconceived notions of the game's reality at the last second.

>>717360496
The concept is blindingly original and awesome though, so a lot of hipsters will <3 it till the end of time for it, it's just... not THAT fun to play.

>>717360668
Just getting to the shortcuts wastes about the same amount of time as doing it the long way efficiently. Or I'm probably already using what you consider shortcuts, it's just still tedious as shit. What are you referring to

>>717360223
I love the DLC more than life itself

>>717356234 (OP)
Retarded boomercuck has no attention span and got filtered.

>>717360932
Then you're retarded. My reaction was "That's interesting. The loop's going to end soon, might as well try it out."

It explains why it makes sense in the reel though
And why do people get so angry over having to "restart the run"? It takes like five minutes to get anywhere once you know how

>>717356234 (OP)
the concept is great but the puzzle element should have been an Easter egg. they'd have been better off making the game a survival space game with ayyliums to kill

It's extremely tedious, repetitive, and boring as shit beyond the first few hours, but we must act like we love it because it's le quirky and unique indie game.

Op it sounds like you should be pretty close to beating the game if you're this tired of it and feel you've discovered most things
You just need the 3 ending keys of the coordinates inside Giant's Deep, the ship location in Dark Bramble, and the warp core inside the ATP.
I thought the ending was neat

This game made me start watching let's plays

OK, this is cool and all, but what the fuck does MDN mean?

>I thought the ending was neat

Why?
I thought we were gonna stop the sun from blowing the fuck up not just have all our race, kids included, die, all our friends die, all we did and learned was for nothing and then, the protag dies anyway so "a new galaxy is made becuase old one died"

It was stupid.

>>717362546
Turns out the real outer wilds was the friends we made along the way

>>717362646

They all die, anon. Fuck do you want dead friends for.

>>717362546
It sounds like you cant into entropy
I like the idea of coming to terms with the inevitable end but still being the cause of some new shape to the new universe

>>717362710
Everybody has to die eventually

You guys had meltdowns over the Mass Effect ending but this game has the exact same shit, only that ME had the decency of adding a free DLC so Shephard wouldn't die.

You can't have a game in which you spend hours solving puzzle just to die like a bitch and everyone around you dies like a bitch too.

You're a dumb fucking retard if you think Shepard dying was the reason everyone hated ME3's ending, and that the DLC did anything at all to un-shittify it
The ending of this game follows the themes explored within it. If you can't follow basic shit like that then maybe a power fantasy story is more your cup of tea

What themes? Reading alien tweets on the walls while some hillibilies play the banjo?

This game is not as deep as you think it is. Throwing the word Quantum Physics around does not make you smart, it makes you pretentious.

>>717362261
No, it isn't. The two rafting achievements in EotE are much harder.

>>717363838
It sounds like the game was literally too deep for you and you didn't get it
That's ok, there's plenty of other video games you could occupy your time with instead

>>717363838
About coming to terms with the inevitability of death and finding meaning in life through the connections formed with others. It's not even a complex theme but you still miss it so hard

Tell me anon, why do you think people hated ME3's ending?
Were you even capable of cognizant thought when that game released?

>>717364006

The game is so deep the biggest fans of it are redditors, says a lot.

>>717362261
It's such arbitrary bullshit you can lock onto everything else including pieces of space debris but can't lock onto the sun station. Ship handling is so absolute dogshit without lock-on + match velocity

>>717364046
>About coming to terms with the inevitability of death and finding meaning in life through the connections formed with others.

What connections the game has like 5 npcs in the whole game with 5 lines of dialogue. Did you steal that from Kojima's Death Stranding or something? This is the worst game you can talk about "making connections".

>Tell me anon, why do you think people hated ME3's ending?

For the same reason they hate the Fallout 3 ending and TLOU2. The protagonist dies. This game has the same thing but dialed up to 11. There's no sacrifice, there's no "accepting the invetiable", you literally LEAVE the loop, youwatch the galaxy explode, you're sent to limbo and then, boop, you die anyways.

There's an entireending about flying in your ship far away enough from the galaxy to avoid being killed but "nooo it's not heckin' canon!"

I won't claim the game has amazing NPCs, but they (along with Solanum and especially the DLC NPC) show the theme of coming to terms with death. It wears that theme so brazenly that it should be impossible to miss.
>For the same reason they hate the Fallout 3 ending and TLOU2. The protagonist dies
Jesus christ you are new
People hated ME3's ending because, from the outset, Bioware said that the ending would account for many of the choices made throughout the previous games. Importing your save would truly matter, and it wouldn't just be a color swap of one cutscene
Then the game releases, people reach the ending and find that a Deus Ex Machina child literally just gives you three different outcomes that result in the same cutscene with different color lights. Nothing you did actually mattered.
If Shepard had died in a way that made sense and was well written people would have been fine with that, you narratively illiterate retard.

>>717364725
>show the theme of coming to terms with death.

The NPCs being flat and dead is not them coming to terms with death it's the writers being shit, you're confusing characters with the personality of a cardboard with them embracing dead.

>If Shepard had died in a way that made sense

They would still cry, people don't like their fictional protagonist dying.

>>717364865
How should the game have ended then?

its hilarious how this game filters the shit out of people, truly a masterpiece.

>>717365227
That ending would fucking suck
Being in an ethereal space and jamming with NPCs you met along the way while birthing a new universe was far more interesting and memorable than any of those

Decent bait. Only people who actually played the game and liked it will notice it, and even then the superfans will just get mad and won't figure out your bait. Well done.

>>717365086
>Already making a parasocial relationship with random anons in 4chan?

>>717365635
>these 50 separate lines of gay loredump flavor text are totally relevant to the ending

>>717365546

It's not simplification anon, it's what actually happens on screen.
I don't know where you see any depth in constantly checking reddit alien conversations in walls or finally finding an NPC to see 5 lines of dialogue and goodbye.

The game is not deep because everyone dies.
The game is not deep because it's indie.
The game is no deep because it has banjo music.

You can praise the game for things like how cool it is the Ash planet loses all its sand as the timer goes on, you can praise the game for the camera gameplay involving Quantum crystal walls and the Quantum Moon. You can even praise it if you want for not giving you directions so "you figure it out" (which only unemployed losers or kids have time for).

But certainly not for its story or "theme".

>>717365717
Its all connected and leads you to the ending though

>>717365363
You stopped seeing people shit on it because by the time they released whatever DLC the shitting was all done and nobody gave a fuck about bottom garbage tier ending anymore. Ending was shit, people shat on it, then people moved on and left ME behind them by the time they released whatever the fuck.

Reminder that 99% of people who beat Outer Wilds used outside help multiple times. They also didn't actually enjoy it, but only praise it because it's some le quirky, unique indie game, and they think it makes them look like le sophisticated gaymer

>>717365803
>constantly checking reddit alien conversations in walls
If this is your problem with the game then play the DLC
It has zero readable text walls

>>717365635
>>717365809

But anon most of what you learn or do is pointless.
In the end all you had to do to finish the game was go to Ash planet, go to Dark Brittle, solve Puzzle.That's it. 3 steps.
Other time loop games require you to mix everything you did the whole game efficently in a single day. Here the only thing that makes you do it over and over is the anglefish shitty AI while you wait for the ash planet to lose some sand.

Most of the walls you read have irrelevant information
It's completely pointless to meet the NPCs as they say nothing of value.
And for a game beloved by redditors you literally have a computer in your ship telling you "UOH OH, YOU DIDN'T EXLPORE X PLANET ENOUGH!!"

Yeah, where's the gacha? Wheres the feet?

>>717359183
I am proud to say that I completed the entire base game without looking anything up
the quantum moon
the jellyfish
the end
even the sun station
the only thing I looked up in the dlc was how to enter the party house

>>717366013
You also need the code from the probe tracking moduel
Unless you just looked up what it was to speed through the game

>>717365363
>>717365842

Sounds cringe, literally.

>>717365676
> T-the game is not reddit! it's actually very deep!
>> REEE YOU JUST SAID THE GAME IS BAD??? I'M GONNA DOX YOU! I'M GONNA FUCKING DOX YOU!!!!

I swear every outer wilds fan is beyond mentally unstable. Figures out it's reddit favorite game.

>>717366173
>I'M GONNA DOX YOU
Are you that new, that you dont think posting your own username on /v/ will get you made fun of?

>>717365931

That seems to be trend with popular indie game. Save for Stardew Valley, majority of indie games praised non stop like FNAF or now currently Abiotic Factor seems mostly praised by kids who watched youtubers play it rather than play it themselves.

>>717366173
>thinks typing words into a search bar is doxing
No wonder you didn't understand the game.

>>717366173
Hope you at least had fun seething about it here

>>717366248
> Y-you actually doxxed yourself! why didn't you think some terminally online incel would get so mad at you shitting on outer wilds that he would furiously look through your image to see if your steam username shows up!?

And btw, i didn't even play it on Steam, i pirated it :)

>>717366273
>we're shitting on Abiotic Factor now
Stop hating things because people like them you joyless faggot.

>dude what if we made an enemy that requires a controller with both analog sticks, analog triggers, and zero stick drift

Dropped, left a negative steam review, uninstalled, and immediately dismiss anyone that praises it.

>>717366418
> Me furiously analyzing your image to see if i can find some info about you and then desperately looking to see if that random nickname leads me somewhere is not doxxing ok?!!?

I made you so mad, it's beautiful. Redditors always resort to doxxing when they lose internet arguments, so it doesn't surprise me at all. See if you can dox my boyfriend too, maybe it triggers you i played Outer Wilds with him while you had to finish it all alone, lonely friendless redditor :(

>>717366542
You can build up speed going into the portal and just drift past the fish. No sticks required.

>>717366512

I didn't say Abiotic Factor it's bad,i said its fans haven't even played it and instead watched youtubers play it. Twitch viewercount proves me right.

It's the reality with majority of indie games and Outer Wilds is no exception.

Because the game is gay.

>actual faggot cant comprehend a simple story and uses guides and cheats to beat the game
Oh i am laffin

>>717356234 (OP)
It's a tedious game. At the start when you have no clue what to do and you have no objective you are working towards it is unbelievably boring. And the game adds the 22 minute time loop on top of that, making you not want to go back to it ever again. And the pay off isnt even that great. The puzzles arent exactly brain teasers considering they are all spelled out for you. The story itself is reddit trash but I admire the non-linear nature of it. Other than that the game is an exercise tedium

>>717356234 (OP)
That sound like a very dishonest review.
You can't possibly be as bad at exploration as you pretend to be, you cannot miss the point that bad, you don't even mention the (hi)story the game have you recompose.

You can gather a lot of information in one loop, you just need to have a triple digit IQ to decide where to go next. If you have the computer in Rumor-mode it almost tells you where to go.
The majority of what you need can be gathered in any order, what you cannot take no more time than the average scripted scene in traditional games.
I finished the base game in 22 hours and I was fooling around a lot.

>There is no combat, there are no tools, there are no upgrades, there are no permanent changes, there is no character progression, there are no environmental changes
As if you expected that from every type of game.

>And the world is also completely fucking static, there are ZERO random elements
...because everything have a reason to be somewhere and move a certain way, it's no different from any scripted environment in other games.

We have trolls and culture warrior retarded enough to believe they have to discredit this game (for who know what reasons since it's not woke and it's for player with triple digit IQ). Hell, I think I even recognize your prose.

That's just you being disingenuous since you are not forced to reread the same information, you just interpret what was said and deduce where you search next.

>>717367296

>>717367767
Except the game literally DOES give you a magical computer showing you what to explore and even if you missed something.

The issue is >95% of the shit in this game is utterly pointless to the critical path and it makes you repeat the same Groundhog Day loop over and over while also gating tons of shit behind specific timing windows

If I remember, at the bottom of the black hole forge you get a discussion telling you about the alignment and margin for error.
From there, all you need is to take them literally and see what happen if you try just after the sand, or wait in the alcove to spend less time in the sand

All the trophy/achievement percentages for this game are laughably low. Pretty much all most people did was dick around on different planets for a few hours before dropping it and moving on. A few people looked up online where to go to get the ending, but most people couldn't be bothered to even do that.

The interest and praise for this game is totally artificial. People didn't have fun, they didn't enjoy themselves, they didn't even unravel the mystery themselves, they looked a bunch of shit up online and just went through the motions. Hell, if you don't, you're the even bigger sucker because the game is just so chock full of pointless padding filler that wastes your time.

A gay, quirky, novel indie game that no one played or cared about is the perfect candidate for fags to make shitty youtube essays about and for hipster faggots to pretend they like and praise as some masterful work of art.

that's true, it puts you at a set speed in a set direction specifically so it's idiot proof.. just drift into the portal and don't press anything until you are past them.

Overwhelming vast majority of points of interest end in just a little lore tidbit and nothing else

>>717360223
Nope it's great.
It's just more difficult, with less tips, and the reels are harder to rewatch (a shame because the soundtrack when watching them are fabulous).
It really complete the stories with a second type of alien race that's very fitting for the "dark forest" theory.

Actually it fit so well and not just the number of eyes that I believe they knew they had already planned it.

it's more of a journal than anything, which i don't think there's anything wrong with. i am lazy as fuck so i appreciated not having to write stuff down. i guess if you sleepwalk through the game and look on it afterwards it might spoil something you haven't realized but i don't remember that happening to me at least.

>>717369970
Eh the interloper answers lore questions but has absolutely no bearing on anything

The computer that runs the project. Of course I didn't know that at the time, but the implication alone was enough.

The atmosphere is so hazy you lose sight of it when entering it, so you can't see and it quantums. Doesn't matter where your line of sight is.

>>717370081
>Look at hazy atmosphere from far away: all is good
>Look at hazy atmosphere up close: Huh, where'd the moon go?
Does the atmosphere not count as part of the moon? Quantum Physics is a bullshit pseudoscience anyway so it doesn't really matter.

>>717370081
NTA, but the Quantum Moon threw me for a loop. The intended solution somehow didn't work the first time, so I assumed, based on some of the lore entries, that you have to land on the south pole. It was really annoying when I eventually found out that was just a red herring.

>>717356234 (OP)

You're too much of a chud to enjoy this game.

>>717370371
It's not a red herring
You always land on the south pole no matter what

>>717360991
nta, there's shortcut that you only discover after taking the long way because they come out at unexpected place.

For example the long way to the Sunless city is from the bottom, which you follow from the escape pod.
But once you get out of it by the top exit, you realize there's a crevice to get inside in no time that's normally hardly visible

I just launched the game to take that capture and took less than 3 minutes to reach it.

>>717370701
I mean it only takes a few mins to reach normally though once you know the path and boost through everything

>>717356234 (OP)

I only looked up the angler fish and the sand planet teleport. I played on kbm so I assumed that sneaking past the fish required some analog input on the thrust.

I disbelieve you would honestly miss the point.
The entire themes is about entropy and discovering as much as you can before you die. Since you discovers you can't prevent the death of your planet, or even that of the universe, all you can do is reach the ultimate secret of the universe, the Eye that apparently exist to recreate a new universe each time.

>where are the progression systems!!!???
weak bait

Is there something I'm supposed to find on Ash Twin? I've flown around like a spastic 3 times now after the sand has all been removed and not found anything aside from the warp stations. But you have to wait like 20 minutes and then only have like 2 minutes to look so it's a major pain in the ass and I probably missed some tiny detail.

Also, apparently one of the warp points is supposed to lead to the sun according to the logs in the Ember Twin lab? which I would assume is the sun station since there is no other way to reach it, but again, I have no idea which one since you have limited time and it takes like 5 minutes for the stupid fucking warp to initiate, so I can't even be bothered to test. And this is despite the fact the log says the room is supposed to match the theme of the target planet, but each Ash Twin warp room is just a generic room with no details.

What a stupid fucking annoying game. Guess I should have just looked everything up like everyone else did instead of wasting my time like an asshat.

The whole point is worthless. Sure, you amass knowledge, but you do nothing with it. The whole "no dude you had to witness it!" shit is the most reddit science shit possible, like we're all stardust man.

I don't think OW is awful, I just think it's immensely overrated by people who treat zoomer Myst as some world changing event. It's a braindead simple exploration game that holds your hand the whole time, except for the very last puzzle where you actually have to put 2 and 2 together, but because the game never expects you to do this until this point and just spoonfeeds you the answers, a lot of players get stuck and look up the solution because they have learned helplessness.

Over the past few days I've been playing a recent porn game that has better world building than Outer Wilds. You have to run around a big open world DRPG collecting items and spells to better traverse the world and find new locations while constantly backtracking and taking mental notes of where you've been, and where you couldn't go and what you needed to go there. The game had a few optional sokoban dungeons, and I had more fun with those than I did with OW, because you actually have to sit there and think for a minute about how to push the blocks in the right order. OW doesn't have any of that, there are no puzzles to solve, and the revelations are hollow and empty because of it.

You have more variety in 60 loops of Outer Wild than you have in your average open-world.
Your average open-world are static until you trigger events, so nothing happen unless you aren't at the right place.
In Outer Wild the world is in motion non-stop, repeating yes but in motion, so you can see events from different place and different contexts.

>>717372568
Modern games are so shit that I legitimately have more fun with porn games now.

This is true, but that's because open world games are slop, and only fucking retards play them.

The key issue with OW is tedium. There are plenty of loops where you know what you have to do, but oh, now you have to wait 10 minutes. Sure, you can use a campfire, but you don't know if it's 8 minutes in or 12 minutes in, or you get somewhere at 20 minutes in and only have 2 minutes to quickly check for clues.

Here's a hint Mr retard.
The tower that looks like a geyser? That leads to the planet covered in geysers.
The tower that looks like a giant tornado? It leads to the planet with giant tornados.
The tower that looks like triangular rocks hanging? You guessed it, it leads to the planet with hanging triangular rocks!
The tower that looks like the sun? You'll never guess where it leads!

>>717369562
Didn't they add achievement late? after everyone who played it did so?

But just because there are moves in-game called Pound, Harden, and Slam doesn't mean it's a porn game anon.

>>717362198
imagine not doing both anyway for fun

>>717373463
You USE THEM FROM THE GROUND.

Why the fuck would you DESIGN THE ENTIRE ARCHITECTURE OF THE STRUCTURE WHEN VIEWED FROM THE SKY around the destination instead of, gee I don't know, PUTTING THE FUCKING NAME OR SYMBOL SOMEWHERE IN THE ROOM

You just refuse to admit how utterly asinine and ass backwards it is.

The only times I've searched Ash Twin, I am on foot, only going to my ship to refill, to look for anything hidden under the sand. I would have figured it out next time I attempted but honestly I am so bored of this stupid fucking game at this point I can't bother

>>717373535
Or, you know, 5+ minutes sitting around doing fucking nothing.

I spent 37 hours on that porn game, by the way. Had more fun than I did with OW.

>>717373646
Pokemon is braindead easy. Come call me when Pokemon adds multi-level sokoban puzzles where you have to push blocks on top of other blocks.

>Does the atmosphere not count as part of the moon? Quantum Physics is a bullshit pseudoscience anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Consider it this way:
Once you enter the atmosphere, you cannot tell if you are going in, or out. So you need an observer to keep the atmosphere in position

>>717373792
>5+ minutes sitting around doing fucking nothing.
Unironic skill issue
I barely even felt the need to use the campfire on my first playthrough - if I had to wait for Ash Twin or some other place to open up, I'd just use the earlier time of the run to explore elsewhere which usually led to something of note.

>>717373761
>WHEN VIEWED FROM THE SKY
ARE YOU BLIND YOU FUCKING RETARD. IN WHAT WAY ARE THESE TOWERS SIMILAR LOOKING FROM THE GROUND YOU STUPID PEABRAINED MORON.
>>717373038

>>717357865
to be fair "exploration mode" in ubisoft games is literally "press a button to reveal icons around you" it's more tedious than actually asking you to explore

So this is the result of the zoomer attention span. They weren't kidding about them literacy rates.

>Why the fuck would you DESIGN THE ENTIRE ARCHITECTURE OF THE STRUCTURE WHEN VIEWED FROM THE SKY around the destination instead of, gee I don't know, PUTTING THE FUCKING NAME OR SYMBOL SOMEWHERE IN THE ROOM

i got a bit stumped there as well because i just assumed there was an extra step i was missing, then i tried shooting my scout at it to activate it faster and it worked

>>717373761
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PLANET BEFORE YOU LAND ON IT

>>717373917
And then you spend longer than you thought you would there, and miss the window for the gimmick on the other planet. If you could wait from the pause menu, I wouldn't have an issue with it.

You lack time management
Not my problem

>born too late to complain about being bored while exploring the world
>born too early to complain about being bored while exploring the solar system
Being a zoomer is suffering

>>717371354
If I remember, there's some text somewhere about them being incredibly good at calculating orbits.
Also maybe you can't access the GOOD controls because you don't have their tools.

"listen child, those crystal balls are failsafe in case you forgot to recharge your tools"

>>717369694
same, that was really cool.

>>717374335
>time management
Here, I'll fix the game in half a second. After the first couple of runs, just put a timer in the top corner of the screen. That way when I see something happen, I know what time in the loop it'll happen, so I can manage my time better.

Instead you're left going "well, I think it happened maybe 15 minutes into the loop? I wasn't really keeping track" and then you have to wait 5 minutes afterwards while not wanting to backtrek to the campfire, or you find out you're too late and it was before minutes, so now you've got to reset the run and wait AGAIN.

> want to replay outer wilds
> realise there's no fucking point
This is the worst part kek

>>717372214
You can tell where each tower takes you, even without the tops (generally)
>Sun Station is the tallest, there's dialogue relating to the sun station in there
>Ash/Ember twin have twin towers, which makes them the most obvious towers, while also being the most important
>Timber Hearth has a bunch of trees from Timber Hearth inside it
>Brittle Hollow has a basement with gravity crystals to walk on the ceiling with, also they literally talk about Brittle Hollow and the black hole there
>Giant's Deep tower looks like a cyclone
>Also they're in order from their distance to the sun
Arguably Giant's deep and Timber Hearth might not be as obvious as the others, but you never actually have to use them, and the most important towers are either distinct (Twins), or make you curious about how to enter (Sun)

>>717373384
>I thought one of them was broken because I spent five minutes on it and nothing happened.
you don't know how they work

>>717374798
Go down the rabbit hole and try modded versions

is there a lore reason why the ship computer remembers the information you learned between runs?

>>717371840
This is 4chan, full of troll who will pretend to be stupid to shit on a game.
Even if they don't believe to fool anymore, they just like the attention or honestly believe they are too smart to ever misunderstand something, and it make them angry to be told they are actually the retard in the room.

>>717373792
>learning about a world is bad
>sokoban is good

>>717374971
Actually yes. It uses a shard from a Nomai statue as data storage.

>>717357734
>dude I need to do this big long multi-loop plot thread to figure out.... those jellyfish literally going inside the core are how you get inside the core
>dude I need to do this big long multi-loop plot thread to figure out.... avoid the anglerfish
>dude I need to do this big long multi-loop plot thread to figure out.... quantum objects move when you aren't observing them
You're going to get shit on hard for this but you're 100% correct, the quantum thing was literary explained before you even get in your space ship I have no clue why people act like the quantum rock in the sand cave was some mind blowing discovery
Go play Blue Prince, it's actually got "knowledge based loop" down pat, and skill 100% plays into the game more than luck so don't listen to anons who say otherwise

>>717375062
I assume you're talking about OW here and not fucking Pokemon. The world isn't interesting. The Nomai are uninteresting, terribly written characters. The Hearthians are dull. The locked up owl cuck in the DLC is a decent character, for someone who can't talk.

Most of the stuff you learn about the world is inconsequential. The coolest thing is seeing the third active mask, and then you realise what it really is later and it's lame and gay.

I don't even like sokoban. I just enjoy a game giving me a fucking puzzle to think about for 2 minutes, vs OW which gives you easy wins and treats you like a child. I'm sure if you're 12 it's the coolest shit ever, but I've played Myst, man. The only reason anyone would go nuts over a crappier version of Myst is if they never played Myst, which is incredibly sad.

>>717375089
oh, convenient. I guess the hearthians just randomly happened upon that. it's not like it really plays a role in the lore though so that's fine.

>>717375379
he's saying you need to unravel a long thread to figure it out, you're saying it's explained right away, and yet you say he's 100% correct?

>>717375476
I played Myst and OW and if you think Myst is better than OW you're actually retarded.
Is a book of sudoku the ultimate video game for you? You just want puzzles dumbed town to their literal execution?

>>717375486
He's saying the reward for these long threads is "discovering" information that didn't need explaining. The jellyfish one I could kind of see maybe needing the plot thread for, but "avoid the anglerfish" and the quantum objects one did not need a plot thread for them, it's just obvious/already explained in the beginning of the game. I will admit the log about the water tornadoes actually was helpful but every other time I found a log it was either a lore dump (for the most boring lore ever) or a repeat or explaining "don't get eaten by the scary monster"

>>717372402
>Sure, you amass knowledge, but you do nothing with it
But you do,
Maybe you are too used to games telling you what to do, to realize that reaching the eye require you to make a decision that is not prompted by anyone but your curiosity to see what happen. Or maybe you are projecting how bad you are at these types of games unto others.

>>717375614
>Is a book of sudoku the ultimate video game for you?
I don't know why you're so hung up on the sudoku thing. It was just an example of a puzzle in a game that was honestly not even very puzzle heavy, I could tell you about the 10x10 tile dungeon where you had to move elevators around on a weighted system and then land on top of them by falling down the shaft to access different floors so you could get to the end and fight the boss if that makes you feel better.

I like puzzles, yes. I don't care much for most of the puzzles in OW, because they aren't really puzzles. Take something like the path to the quantum shit, the "solution" is just waiting for the planet to break apart enough for the room to go through the black hole. You can solve that "puzzle" by standing still and waiting. Most of the "puzzles" in the game are like this, and of the rest, most of those are "figure out how to go somewhere".

>>717375906
>the obvious end point of the game is something I came up with all by myself!
Wow man, great job. Thank god you told us all, or we might've never beaten the game!

>>717376073
>I like puzzles, yes. I don't care much for most of the puzzles in OW, because they aren't really puzzles
yeah you're literally just a fucking brainlet lmao
go play crosswords or jigsaws, then you will be able to figure out that there's a puzzle going on and your smooth brain will be able to focus on the one singular thing it can handle at a time

>>717376202
I'm really sorry you thought they were puzzles. I hope one day you get to play a real puzzle game without reading a guide, but you might be too dumb for it.

>>717375819
He's still wrong about all of them. You're not told about the jellyfish, you're told how to use them. You're not told to avoid the anglerfish, you're told how to do it. You're not told that quantum objects move when not observed, you're taught specific rules about how they behave and how to exploit them.

You can safely ignore every retard like >>717357057 using 'lvdokino' or making other u/v replacements.
They are basically like frogposters but too stupid to have a picture collection.

>>717373186
>tedium
That's only you. The solar system is pretty fun to fly around without a goal.
It's not linear so even place you've visited several time feel new simply because it's very easy to approach it differently. It's very fun to decide to fly the ship inside Britlle Hollow to reach some place instead of walking.

>but you don't know if it's 8 minutes in or 12 minutes in, or you get somewhere at 20 minutes in and only have 2 minutes to quickly check for clues.
90% of the cue can be read literally anytime, you even have a setting to stop time when reading.
I've seen players finish OW in 10 hours, you can easily waste more than 10 hours in RPG. It took twice that long, but I had abandoned the game for months until getting back to it and discovering it was actually awesome

>>717374798
I have a solution for you anon.

>>717377058
>Get trapped in timeloop irl
Fuck no

>>717374140
>>717373939
>>717374028
I land when the sand is covering it. If you can't see why this is retarded and immersion breaking to only have the destination shown when viewed from above in a spaceship, I don't know what else to tell you

>>717374873
I do. You stand in the center and when they align within 5 degrees, you warp.

I got bored of waiting and just turned off the game. Shit game.

>finally make it past the anglerfish to orange aura
>it's just a bunch of orange balls in formation you can't do anything with
>whoops sorry buddy! You were supposed to do some other random bullshit in the chain before this, try again and thanks for wasting your time!
This game is so fucking gay it's unreal. Glad I stopped playing.

>>717377539
And you never thought to look around in your ship after the sand is gone?

>>717377539
>looking at something is immersion breaking
Zoomers have it so rough

>>717359183
I had to look up the dumbest thing. How to get to the quantum tower on giants deep. Somehow just flying over the tornado and entering from space was something I was too smooth brained to do. It the tower that lets you easily figure out how to get to the quantum moon as well so was a major hurdle if you never get to it

>>717377818
This is another thing that always gets me when people say stuff like this
Why did you go after the orange light in the first place? Why did you think it was important? The whole game is extremely easy and straightforward if you just think about things logically for a minute

>>717377818
You went to the orange aura because you wanted to know what was there. LIKE THE ENTIRE FUCKING THEME OF THE GAME

>>717378058
>only distinguishing feature in an endless abyss of samey, generic, endlessly repeating gray and white rooms
>why u falow it durr
Gee Idk you fucking retard, you tell me?

>>717378143
And it's a completely uninteractive background element of no importance that you can't interact with because it's not one of the specific signposted loredumps.

Sounds about right for this shit game.

>>717378237
The entire game is background elements of no importance. Its a video game about exploring space.

>>717378157
What did you expect to find there?

>>717378374
Ok so where the fuck do you find the two spaceships, I already found the one using the signal detector.

I'm certainly not just aimlessly roaming around like a dumbass if that's what they expect.

>>717374907
Astral Codec is the only good mod to be honest

>>717378430
The vessel you fucking moron, it crashed there. There is literally zero other distinguishing features on the entire planet for me to follow. I'm not aimlessly wandering around endless, samey, copy-pasted corridors covered in fog.

>>717378557
The vessel is not in the orange egg room and there is nothing that indicates that it is

>>717378374
Can't even update my ship log. At least every other element gives me some worthless tidbit of garbage to throw in my log, but this gives me literally nothing. Just a random shape of orange balls chilling in space doing nothing that you can't interact with in any way and are just supposed to act like doesn't exist.

Especially when they throw 5 anglerfish guarding it, you'd think it's important. But nope, just another stupid, time-wasting red herring

>>717378612
>there is nothing that indicates that it is
Again, you stupid fuck, IT'S THE ONLY UNIQUE OR DISTINGUISHING ELEMENT IN AN ENDLESS SEA OF COPY-PASTED SAMEY ROOMS, AND IT'S GUARDED BY AN ENTIRE ROOM OF ANGLERFISH

Of course I'm going follow it, and yes, it's time wasting bullshit that
>trolololol there's literally fuck all nothing there!!! XD

Seriously, fuck off retard.

>>717378870
Sounds like you tricked yourself and cant accept that its your fault for being dumb

>>717378935
No, dumbfuck, the game is purposely being disingenuous and trolling you and wasting your time, as it does throughout the entirety of its runtime.

>>717378870
>IT'S THE ONLY UNIQUE OR DISTINGUISHING ELEMENT

>>717379024
>>717379039
I already said I found that. That's the first thing I found. Now apparently I just float around like a dickhead in endless hallways of copy-pasted rooms covered in fog until I just happen to stumble on something.

Great fucking game, guys, bravo.

>>717379147
Did you not read the logs in the escape pod? They tell you exactly where to go next
And even if you didn't theres a literal breadcrumb trail of lights leading the way

>>717379256
Which escape pod? I already went down the path with the orange jellyfish

>>717379315
The one you found using your signal scope?
If you didn't know about that then what were you doing in dark bramble in the first place?

I pity the browns that can't appreciate outer kino

>>717379256
>breadcrumb trail of lights leading the way
Lmao shut the fuck up. There's dozens of lights everywhere, it's the only thing you can even see through the fog, and Anglerfish lights and endless pods both have the same light. That's like saying that the traffic lights direct you to the store. Zero fucking sense. Shut the fuck up.

>>717379147
>just float around like a dickhead in endless hallways
Sounds like you don't know what you're looking for.

>>717379503
Iit sounds like you didn't even find the first half of the thing you need to find the vessel so you have no idea what I'm talking about

>>717379407
I already checked every reading on all three channels of my signal detector and found the crashed reddit spaceman that had nothing relevant to say and the path to the jellyfish (which I already figured out by myself). Fucking pointless shit game.

>>717379596
Ok retard

>>717379595
>trololololol you were supposed to do v, w, x, and y before z!! Wander around like a dickhead and find all those before proceeding!! Thanks for wasting your time!!

>>717379703
Genuine question: Why are you even playing a game centered around gathering information and using that information to progress when you lack the patience to do any of that?

>>717379847
I had patience the first few hours until I realized it's a tedious, repetitive, boring, time wasting piece of reddit shit

I just want to say I'm really glad I discovered OW through /v/ a couple years ago, it's the single best rec I got from this board and the anons who praised it were good as describing and championing it without ever spoiling it and the threads were civil and interesting and passionate. Now it's nothing but cheap bait and unironic retards, I feel bad just opening a thread now knowing it will be nothing but cancer, I feel bad that because dominant board culture is now nothing but irony poisoned brownoid buzzword game-hating brainrot, some casual onlooker might just dismiss the game now because he may associate it with such stupidity and shit flinging or he'll just go in with this kind of rotten mindset and will just miss out on this incredible experience. It's a truly special video game, the kind that reminds me why I love video games in the first place. That this one pure gem that's so full of game magic and wonder is now only used for putrid subhuman shitposting is disheartening. There was this one beautiful thing in a sea of shit and you tainted it and covered it in shit like the rest. This is /v/ now. Just shit covered in shit. I say a sincere thank you to the og anons and a sincere fuck you I hate you to the rest of you retards.

>>717379919
It sounds like you kept doing the same wrong thing over and over while bashing your head against a wall while screaming that it doesn't work

Gamefaqs has the game at 25 hours to beat, not even including DLC, even longer if you go for 100%. And that's just the average, which probably looked up multiple things instead of doing it blind.

Yes, that is quite long for a videogame, you dumb zoomer. NES-PS2 classics used to all be like <10 hours outside of RPGs
