  • This is the only video I've made that I don't want you to watch. Outer Wilds is an incredible time-looping atmospheric spacefaring adventure where the world is at stake, and you'll only be able to experience it once. The game doesn't explain anything else, so I won't either. Go play the game.

      My first supernova I was standing in my ship reading posters. I had NO idea the sun exploded, I thought the moon blew up or got hit the the comet. Next run I'm just floating around the moon staring at it like a hawk waiting for something to happen, hear the explosion behind me. Turn the ship around just in time to see a flash of blue. Finally pieced it together next run. This playthrough really made me feel dumb. XD

    It felt like he was playing the game as if he was solving a puzzle rather than solving a mystery. He ended up unintentionally ignoring a lot of the story as he was just searching for what he had to do mechanically to beat the game rather than working out what was going on in the story which caused him to miss out on a lot of the nuance to the solutions and the significance of the steps required. He figured out what to do, but never worked out why.

      Yeah this is the strangest playthrough. Like at the high energy lab, he gets that the nomai created the time loop instantly, then kind of disregards all other information. He takes away that you can enter a black hole and come out a white hole, but ignores all the time travel stuff associated with it because it wasnt mechanically relevant

    • @chronoblivion
      @chronoblivion Před 3 měsíci +78

      I came to the comments to say something similar. Through a combination of intelligence, intuition, and blind luck, he solved a lot of things before he uncovered the clues explaining how to do it, and as a result he missed a fair bit of content. There's a lot of personality buried in the Nomai writings, and a lot of environmental details that help paint the complete picture, some of which is easy to overlook if you aren't exposed to them several times (for example, the fact that you can visually differentiate the writing of Nomai children from adults). Several times he discovered how to get to the next step without figuring out what the Nomai were trying to accomplish.
      Still an entertaining watch, though. I'm impressed at how little he needed to explore to reach the end.

      It's really funny, Because I didn't actually see what the event was for an extremely long time. I was always preoccupied somewhere and just conveniently looking in the wrong direction every time. The first time it happened, I was looking at my ship logs thinking "Huh. The music is really intense right now." and then died. It wasn't until one loop where I deliberately decided to stand on one of the Ash Twin towers and audibly said "I am just gonna wait it out so I can see what's going on with the sun." Because at this point I had reasonable suspicion that it was _something_ to do with the sun.
      And then I heard the music. And I was like "Alright. We're almost there."
      And then I was like "Oh. Huh. It was a supernova this whole time."

    I oftentimes see comments under Outer Wilds Playthroughs that are pointing out, how someone did not play the game "right" or was missing information. While I get the place where these comments are coming from, I think the beauty of Outer Wilds is: You can't play it wrong. There is always an emotional impact, wether you stumble your way into soultions by luck or intuition or by learning the necessary information. The emotional impact may be different from mine or yours, but the experience is not worth less, because someone did not see everything. You can still learn a lot about the story later, but you can only experience the game once. Don't shame people, because they did not have the same experience as you. Enjoy the ride they have.

    This might be the least someone has needed to progress through the game in a playthrough. As a result, much of the emotional nuance didn't present itself because there wasn't a lot of being stuck and searching for hints. Looking for hints, you notice environmental details and exhaust dialogue options from NPCs.
    The thing about Outer Wilds let's plays is that we get to experience this piece of art in ways we wouldn't ourselves, in some cases because we'd think "No, this is the wrong way to experience it".
    Allowing people to not have the full and optimal experience (TM) widens the scope of the art. Through this playthrough and thousand others, there are perspectives available to us that enhance our understanding of art appreciation. And, stereotypically, we get to see the game with new eyes as if experiencing it for the first time. For the thousandth time.

    @universe559 Před 6 měsíci +184

    I haven't seen anyone else talking about this, and I think it's pretty cool. So at about 4:38:26 I think what happened was that while the Quantum Moon was around Brittle Hollow, the quantum rocks on the moon were teleporting around being all quantumy and stuff. Then one of the rocks just happened to teleport right on top of his ship, messing with the collision and launching the ship out at incredible speed (which is a glitch that sometimes happens). It was then launched from the moon, where it crashed and bounced off the surface of Brittle Hollow, getting damaged, and then it fell into the black hole and ended up at the white hole
    It's just an insane coincidence that he also ended up going into Solanum's ship, warping back to Brittle Hollow on accident, and jumping into the black hole to find his ship waiting for him on the other side
    Edit: Someone else in the comments pointed out that while quantum rocks can launch your ship, apparently there is a different thing where your ship doesn't get entangled with the quantum moon, and so when he moved the moon the ship was just left behind. It's much more likely that that's what actually happened
    So the ship got left behind by the moon, then it collided with Brittle Hollow and got damaged, then it fell through the black hole to arrive at the white hole, where he would later find his ship again by pure chance. Which is still a pretty insane coincidence (although admittedly not quite as insane as I thought before)

    41:27 I just can't help but share the reason stars collapse when they start to form iron. It is not because it is stable but because of how when you fuse lighter elements together the mass of the whole is less then that of them separately (aka the mass defect) because the mass is converted in to energy (E=mc²). But once you get to heavier elements at around iron it inverts to where instead of energy being released it is absorbed. Since the energy released from fusing lighter elements is maintaining equilibrium with gravity once the energy is no longer being released gravity wins the battle and causes the star to collapse. Btw when breaking apart atoms in fission the same relationship is observed just in inverse so fissioning heavier elements will release energy and fissioning lighter elements would absorb energy.

      @Chimera12327 Před 4 měsíci +4

      Yes and no. What you said is absolutely correct, but also, a system being in the lowest energy configuration *is* how stability is defined in quantum physics, and iron is absolutely the most stable element in that sense because of what you stated about neither fusion nor fission releases energy from it. In fact, since it is more stable other elements can quantum tunnel past the coulomb barrier into iron on extremely slow timescales. This means that unless the proton turns out to be unstable (which seems unlikely now), in the deep distant future on the order of 10^1500 years, all matter in the universe that is gravitationally bound (which at that point will likely only be isolated planets and black dwarves) will have 'decayed' to iron.

    Loving the long-play so far! But I do have a comment on 7:41:16
    From a game design perspective, the reason why the fish do not reset, is so that the player has to really figure out how to deal with the fish, since they have to apply that knowledge in one go for the endgame. There are many avenues of figuring it out (although honestly, I feel it's not presented as well as it could be, since the main knowledge is hidden behind a pretty complicated puzzle), but being able to reset the fish every time would make the encounter entirely trivial and very brute-forceable. I'm sure there are other ways to go about it though. If I had to guess, I'd say Dark Bramble was one of the first or very last (under some crunch) areas that was designed for the game, and so does feel a little lackluster.

    Outer Wilds might be the most special game I've ever played in 30+ years of gaming, and I'm glad you've been able to experience it as well. It was my game of the year for 2019, narrowly beating out Disco Elysium; it's also my game of the decade for the 2010s, and I still can't hear those three notes on a banjo without getting misty eyed, which can be a little rough since I am, in fact, a banjo (but luckily, mostly mandolin) player. It's absolutely wonderful, meaningful, has a lot of heart, and really captures a bittersweet kind of spirit that can be extremely difficult to articulate. The fact that you're the one who has to construct the story as you go, and it necessarily filters through your own personal perspective, means everyone experiences it a little bit differently as well, which only heightens the impact and makes it even more personal. Outer Wilds really shows the power of gaming as a storytelling medium.

    (Spoilers for the video!)
    Here's a list of things he didn't do in this playthrough! Not intended to be used out of malice, of course. The list is here either for the curious people, or for Thor himself in case he wants to ever go back and try some of these things. I'll add a star to all the most interesting/useful ones!
    -*Didn't learn how to meditate (and end the day early through the menu), by talking to Gabbro on Giant's Deep, which is something that unlocks as a talking option after the 3rd loop, assuming you've talked to him at least once on one of the previous loops;
    -*Didn't find Feldspar (the guy that Thor didn't recognize at the end times);
    -*Didn't find Feldspar's harmonica music on Timber Hearth (if Thor ever wants to find this guy on his own, this is where I suggest he starts, in case he reads my comment! Won't spoil anything else, tho him and Gabbro are absolute chads);
    -Didn't go to the Anglerfish fossil directly;
    -Didn't go to the Quantum Grove (this one only helps make sense of Gabbro's little thing at the end, with the signs);
    -Didn't find the frozen ship on the Interloper;
    -Didn't find the Dark Bramble Dev easter egg, but, to be fair, I think I've only seen CohhCarnage find it, if I recall correctly, and it's not important to begin with;
    -*Didn't cause a paradox at the High Energy Lab, after throwing the Little Scout into the miniature Black Hole, and recalling it before it entered (but after it left the White Hole);
    -*Didn't cause a paradox by waiting out the end of the sun inside the Ash Twin Project core, and then meeting his paradox self, and then dying somewhere else after;
    -*Didn't just leave the star system with the Ash Twin Project core, thus getting an alternate, cold, lonely ending;
    -Didn't leave the star system to just get an alternate loop ending animation;
    -*Didn't go onto the Sun Station via a black hole teleporter, to find out something, well, rather harrowing and sad! (not gonna spoil exactly what, unless he found it out by himself, I don't remember, but this knowledge is one of the more important ones, because it changes how you feel about everything, but, ofc, it's not mandatory to finish the game);
    -Didn't try to land onto the Sun Station manually, which a lot of us tried, and only the mightiest succeeded;
    -He's never been on the Orbital Probe Cannon, around Giant's Deep;
    Things he figured out intuitively, without learning about them in the game:
    -The Rule of Entanglement ("if the observer stops observing, due to lack of light, they too will move along with the quantum object until they start observing again", learned usually in the caves of the Ember Twin, when you find the quantum rock);
    -The Rule of the Sixth Location ("in order to reach the Eye of the Universe's version of the Quantum Moon, you have to get the tower to the North Pole", learned usually in the Tower of Quantum Knowledge);
    -How to reach the core of Giant's Deep (learned usually from Feldspar, and you also find out that the jellyfish taste horrible!);
    General Notes:
    As some have mentioned, the fact he figured out so much by pure intuition, in conjunction with the facts he took SO LONG figuring out that he could take pics in the Tower of Quantum Trials, was absolutely hilarious, and I loved watching it!
    It says a lot about both his intuition, and about the game's design, that he was able to do so much on his own. Some may say it's the game's fault for not making the tips a bit more obvious, but I think Thor preferred it that way. Having your hand held is necessary at times for games, but can also impede a person's self-satisfaction at achieving goals on their own. I do like how this game does it, since it feels like the hand holdy parts that tell you how to beat the game are meant for the Nomai (and other travelers they would've maybe met had they lived), and you're just stumbling across it all. It's not as immersion breaking as "text screen pops up on your monitor telling you exactly how to beat this puzzle", and I appreciate that a lot.
    Also, his Pavlovian fear of entering a black hole, worrying it will put him at the white hole station is hilarious as well! The ending is as amazing and melancholic as always. T-T
    And I absolutely agree. Fuck Anglerfish. Fuck Dark Bramble. Fuck 'em.
    All in all, absolute blast of a video to watch! I can't wait for DLC, I think he'd love it to a good degree!
    Lemme know if I missed something. ^^

    The thing I love about this game is how well the build up to the inevitable end is done. New players instantly feel the sense of unease as the sun grows and the music starts, after a few loops that feeling turns to frustration as it becomes clear there is no way to avoid the time limit. Eventually though, it turns to satisfied resignation as players realize that they've done all they could with the time that they had. With such a simple mechanic, it makes a profound commentary on death and loss.

    For a game dev, I had hoped he would be a bit more thorough with the dialogue and exploration-and just caring about the story-especially considering his own game’s entire story is told entirely through dialogue. But this is still good. Hopefully he gets a bit more thorough as it goes along.
    Edit: He did not. I know he’s a hacker and all, so the mechanics and puzzles are quickly solved and the most fun to him, but I wish he gave the game time to breathe. Not sure if that’s more of a problem with his particular brain, or the fact that this is a single play session, but I do wish he paid more attention to the importance of all of the information rather than just the mechanical relevance of the revelations. Seems like he didn’t even care about the story, just tried to solve the puzzles.
    Still an interesting playthrough, but I find mysef wishing he took his time in multiple sessions, as opposed to plowing through the whole thing in one go.

    Like, at one point he says there’s no way into the Sun Station warp tower while looking at the open door, but he manages to intuit 2 out of the 3 quantum rules on the fly.

    11:07:17 I think we reach a point when a lot players want to play something unique, special as they got tired of grinding games and they have other things to do. This game leaves a lot positive vibes after all, devs did incredible job.

    When I saw this game appear on gamepass one day I had just broken up with my girlfriend of 5 years and was either playing or waiting to play Outer Worlds as an Obsidian fanboy. I was like "oh wow a game trying to capitalize off the name of a popular release" wtf back off, so let's see what it is. I began one of the most profound gaming experiences of my life. I ended up messaging the devs and even getting a reply thanking me for my kind words. I hadn't remembered enjoying gaming that much since I was a child on SNES. So happy to watch you experience this and the dlc. Side Note: I studied Physics & Music in college and grew up watching every star trek and star wars.

    3:57:54 I've never heard the ship alarm go off like that without the reactor being damaged. I was very surprised when your ship didn't just explode.

      I guess it was damaged very little, but the center hull damage superceeded the reactor damage on the console.

    10:24:40 the game actually gives you a minimum speed when you enter, it keeps pushing you until you get past the anglerfishes, to prevent you from getting softlocked that way :)

      Is it a separate force, or just momentary immunity to atmospheric drag?

      @@quantumblur_3145 Separate force, when you enter a seed it sets your speed & direction + a lil bit of your original speed & direction. Also might be wrong on this one but I don't think there is enough atmosphere to have noticable drag, mainly you feel slow because the place is absolutely huge (btw you can see how huge if you leave a scout in DB, and while outside look under the sun with the map, you'll see a black sphere, that can sometimes flicker depending on how you placed your scout. All the rooms are inside this black sphere)

      I wish the game gave you a bit of leeway with the anglerfish, e.g. if you accidentally bump your thrusters once it alerts them, then after that they come after you. Would feel less frustrating that way

    That moment where you leaned back at the end and said “wow” was amazing. It’s exactly how I felt. It made me feel awe over existing and anything that can do that is truly a work of art. Glad I got to experience it again through you.
    I think what I realized is that outer wilds confronts you with real fears and if you stick with it all of those fears yield to beauty and wonder.

    Its always fun watching someone experience this game for the first time and the thing I absolutely loved to hear was your description on the ending.
    The way I saw it was that no matter where the friends were during that time, everyone had their part of the song to play and at any moment you could count on one of the other homies to be in tune with the others, to me it was kinda like how friends can go their separate ways but in the end it just makes for a really good story when you all meet back up around the campfire to share all the stories you have and just sit back and appreciate it all for what it is.

    I don't know your name, but you made me watch the whole thing (after playing the game, of course) and I smiled from start to finish.
    I'm living a pretty bad period of my life, and you somehow managed to do the impossible on me. So if you'd ever ask yourself if what you do is worth the time, this is the answer.
    Thank you.

    This game is beyond superb. It felt like a privilege and an almost journey of self discovery to play it.
    I loved watching you experience it, picking up on so many things so quickly and doing the unthinkable. Going from blind to completed in one run. There's so much more to explore, I found myself shouting at the screen more than once 😂
    I played this in a time of massive change in my own life, my daughter was on the way, we lost our home and had to move, due to ill health I needed to change careers too.
    So this game got tied into those emotions so deeply, a real profound and beautiful experience. And on that journey everything worked out in the end. I will carry this game and the way it made me feel, always ::) 🧡
