1. Play the DLC. There is significantly less reading.
2. The autopilot doesn’t have a collision avoidance feature built in because the Hearthians just don’t care.
There is an in game dialogue over it too lol. Slate basically says “you flew into the sun??? Well…git gud scrub?”
@@mallk238 "The excitement of a launch is fun and all, but I can’t wait to get back to working on the new ship. We’re working on fixing the autopilot’s avoidance system for this one!
...Uh, sorry.”
@@troylee6416 I think if you tell him you flew into the sun, he also basically says "haha yeah it'll do that. My workaround is: don't let it do that" or something like that
@@mallk238 “Make sure the sun isn’t between you and your destination when you engage autopilot, and you’ll be fine.”
Of course they don't care about the autopilot. They have FOUR eyes. While you're reading logs by flying into the sun, they're reading logs by drifting around that suicidal yellow blump
I love that there's a running joke with the Nomai trying really hard to source all their materials without depleting the Hearthian planet because they saw they were probably gonna evolve into sentience and they'd need metals and shit... and then the Hearthians just went to space using wood.
Can't say that's stupid since in the end it worked (putting aside real life logic)
@@CamelliaFlingert barely
Ah yes, the "How did my ship get that far away!?" game. Good stuff.
True mastery is knowing how your ship got so far away but never learning how to prevent it
@@quantumblur_3145True Mastery is when you deliberately throw your ship into the sun and just use the Nomai's instead
@@the888gamemaster fellow slingshot enjoyer
true mastery is not bothering with letting the ship survive the landing@@the888gamemaster
Voice acting isn't always an improvement to the characterization of people. Sometimes you just want to voice act them yourself and imagine what they sound like, which usually fits better than scrapped together VA that goes against what you would think the character would sound like. If they casted everything perfectly then sure, but I think it has a chance to make the game slightly better, with a much greater chance of making it significantly worse.
Plus some characters are characterized super well, like Riebeck. You know he's scared of space and you know why he's there because you find notes that detail his progression through planets. Plus, he teaches you that there's actually a structural integrity meter on the scout, which is helpful.
Bro any decent voice acting would be much better
"Decent chance to make it significantly worse" my ass
@@lezanji1884 nah I liked imagining the blue alien creatures with funny alien voices, having actual good voice acting would’ve taken that away
@@koifish528 what I ment by good voice acting is actually fitting voice acting
I agree: sometimes reading well written dialogue is more immersive than even a well acted voice line. One example would be Night in the Woods. Extremely good character writing, character design and animation make it fascinatingly clear what the individual characters would sound like. Watch any two let's plays of the game and it's almost guaranteed the players are going for the same voice. Sometimes a sketchy drawing is more interesting than an overworked hyper realistic painting because it's fun when some things are only implied and your brain fills in the blanks. This fascination would be lost if the game simply had voice actors doing the lines, even good ones.
Plus, in Outer Wilds all the Nomai writing would either have to be voiced as well (which would take away from the mystery and give away characterization that you're supposed to slowly piece together) or only the hearthians get voice acting which would make the Nomai texts seem less important, even skippable.
The very first NPC you meet actually tells you that the autopilot doesn't account for objects in between your destination. Also, play the DLC. It fixes all of your issues with the game. DO IT NOW.
Outer wilds is so good and as soon as you read the comments telling you to play outer wilds I got so excited. Also the dlc is a horror game so play it you will enjoy it.
Outer Wilds got overshadowed in its release year and its a complete tragedy. Releasing only months apart from “Outer Worlds,” a much worse game with a much larger company. The games having the similar element of space travel made it even worse, so many less people even know the game exists.
So while not as many people have played Outer Wilds, it’s whole heartedly a much better constructed game with a company who’s poured their hearts and lives into this project. It’s community might be small, but it makes up for it with lasting impacts and connections between those who found it.
I played through this game as a spectator to a friend that I never really had anything in common with. After we worked together to finish this game we grew closer than ever.
For that reason, I’ve never even played the game, but I love it so much from all the memories and bonding we had in it. I don’t want to boot it up and “overwrite” them with something different. That’s why every time I come across a video like this, I have one specific phrase I’ll leave in every comment section:
“It’s the best game I’ve never played, and likely never will.”
wasnt it actually more popular then outer worlds? outer worlds has 17k reviews on steam with very positive and outer wilds has 34k reviews with overwhelmingly positive
it's hard to make something popular when you can't talk about the game without spoiling somthing, the developers said it was a struggle to advertise a game that it's an entire mistery, that's why it was on xbox gamepass for so long before coming to steam. People wont buy a mistery game but they would try it for 'free'
@@selka1661 dont forget a lot of people only review a game they really like
@@mopilok Yea the total people who bought the game across all platforms is probable in the millions tbh
I straight up thought they were the same game for a long time. Even looked at some Outer Wilds reviews (or so I thought), saw they were all middling at best, and ignored it for months! Figured it out when I kept hearing people talking about the exploration in what I had thought was a lame [space] fallout clone. I'm SO glad that I found out they're different lol
My reaction to the ending was a single tear and saying to myself "I fucking love video games" in my dark room. I then called my mom and did it all over again just to show her (I couldn't shut up about the game for weeks by that point and she loves space travel), she loved it. I think everybody should experience this game at least once in their life, it's just that good of an experience.
Played it again with my mom during her chemo. I bawled my eyes out every time, though, lol.
@Dokkobo What's the emotional tug? i tried the game and bounced off it.
@@slipstream7324 all of it
Did the same sharing with my mom, she loved it, said the whole thing felt like a "comforting bedtime story" and I couldn't agree more
I didn't like this game at all. Please do not recommend it to everyone, it is not for everyone. I especially couldn't stand the ending. I wish the game would have never been recommended to me.
Honestly though no game is for everyone.
Quite honestly, this game is my number one game no doubt. The themes really connected with me especially towards the end of the game and the exploration was fantastic as exploring these areas felt like once in a lifetime experience.
Literally me. Same.
sadly it was a once in a lifetime thing, you'll never get to feel it again :(
Same, even got the coordinates tattooed
@@lukasmuller1274 If you can do find someone who has not played it, you can relive it vicariously through them
This game was terrible. People saying it's a once in a lifetime experience is crazy.
I don't mind the lack of voice acting in general, but i feel like with the written notes (which the majority of the story is told through) it wouldn't really fit.
Yeah I agree, as he said himself actually the reading makes you feel like Indiana Jones. Maybe for the actual characters but I don't see that working as well either tbh. Maybe I'm biased though I love making up my own voices for games like this without voice acting 😅
Although there isa Boice Acting mod coming out cery soon that was a massive collaboration between a lot of members of the community
I think it would also harm the sense of loneliness and isolation.
i thought they characterized riebeck perfectly, even him playing the banjo makes sense, i imagine hes scared under his big helmet and hes playing it to calm himself
theres only so much you can do when the characters only exist for the same 20 minutes forever
That cactus part on ash twin made me so mad cuz I thought I had to fly through the cacti
Then I figured out that you had to use the ash before it went down
Then I rammed my self into the cacti to rid myself of my pain
Relatable 😂 I thought we had to do jet pack parkour too until I thought about trying to use the sand lmao
even after i figured out the ash part i was still determined to cheese myself through there, it might not be possible though idk gave up after like 20 tries
just fly to the Sun station smh
Wait, you can use the ash?
@@DelProv as the ash builds on the ground you can walk across instead of trying to fly through. (I also flew before I realized this)
Honestly I would call the autopilot flying you into the sun a feature. Hey even one of the Hearthiens tells you that the auto pilot is a bit wonky and that you shouldn’t rely on it too much
You should talk to the guy next to the campfire near the ship after flying it into the sun through autopilot.
Also just subbed like 2 hours ago my timing is celestial.
4:50 is a puzzle meant to show you that you need to get there sooner, also that tower goes to the sun station so if you can't easily navigate the room its because the station is close to being destroyed, which prevents you from dying.
Outer Wilds is seriously such a fascinating game that only works because it's one of the most well-designed games out there.
I have an in-depth game design analysis video on my channel that I think you'd like and explains why it's so well-designed. It hits on every design point and how ingenious the game is.
I just finished Outer Wilds last week. Amazingly good game. Good thing I wrapped it up so U could watch this video. Good shit. Did you play Echoes of the Eye, the DLC? It’s as good as the main game, so many fantastic moments and discoveries. Highly recommend if you haven’t checked it out yet.
YAY more Outer Wilds content!
Watching someone else play this game for the first time is SUCH an experience!
I've had this game on backlog for like 2 years and your video convinced me to finally play it. Outer wilds is now possibly my favorite game of all time. It's a masterpiece.
I had it sitting on my desktop for like a year, too busy playing apex legends and shit to bother with it. Decided on a whim “well, I’m bored so why not”.
Favorite game of all time.
As much as voice acting would be cool, not sure how it'll work in the game. It might be more distracting and I personally would read the subtitles anyway XD
As for the character personalities, it's actually cool that you'll learn more about Nomai characters and connect to them than those that you actually see in the game :D
Lastly, autopilot not being perfect is a good thing to me. Nothing in the game is given to you. You have to earn them and use them correctly :) Also, the game is mostly a simulation so most likely it'll be really hard to actuallly program an auto-pilot with auto-avoidance.
yeah, not sure about voice acting.. Maybe for the cassette players you find that are from other hearthian explorers, so you can listen to it while you are still moving around and the characters who you talk to, but I often just read the subtitles because it's faster and with the amount of dialog in the "tutorial" part I think it could make it too long to get to space. but for the most part you will be reading nomai writtings so there could be some robotic voice coming from the translator or your character could read them out loud but it would get old pretty quick. I think the way they do it in the DLC solves the issue of "too much reading" that some people have much better.
Also the auto-pilot avoidance system not working is told to you by slate even though most people find it out the hard way.. but I think overall it's a funny thing, I watched many streamers play the game it's always a funny moment.
It's always awesome seeing new people play this game
Dude i just started watching your videos today and you are my new favorite youtuber, idk how you do it or what you do but you keep me interested the entire time without making me feel overloaded with information
Also play the dlc, i will not elaborate
4:47 LOL, I mean, you did try the hardest possible solution to get through that area. If you get there as the sand is still lowering, you can just walk through on top of the sand. No cactus to worry about. ^_^ Did you ever do the DLC? It's fantastic.
Fun fact there’s an eject button. It’s on the dash or something I don’t know I haven’t played in like a year. It’s useless because it destroys the ship.
you just pump out banger after banger man, can't wait for the next vid
Hope you play/upload a separate video on the dlc, it’s definitely worth your time.
No one had told me directly to play it, but I also heard the non stop fan Girling all over the internet.
Tried it two days ago.
Fuck, they were right
I had the opposite reaction. I found this game super boring, like all of the worst bits of a point and click adventure game ported into a 3D adventure game instead.
as an italian, i can confirm, those are our predecessors.
play the dlc. it's more of the base game but creepier and somehow more polished design wise. also no more reading so that should be a plus
You should play the DLC aswell, it's as long and awesome as the main game!
Holy shit, you are not kidding about in depth!!
1:35 😂😂 I wish I watched your stream I fully respect your first flight decision
Very happy your only complaints were intentional design features. Masterpiece.
most complaints for games are "intentional design features"
I’m glad you played it and enjoyed! I want everyone to enjoy and play this game so I’m off to nag some other poor soul to play this game lol.
"i can't tell you a single characters name" bro gabbro is fucking dope don't diss my mans
best time loop friend fr
also the autopilot is supposed to be trash
Autopilot isn't broken. It just doesn't have safety measures. Your ship is largely constructed of wood. You think Hearthians care about safety? lmao. There's even dialogue that mentions this.
Calm down dog it was a joke
I had a lot of fun playing through the Outer Wilds, but some of the puzzles I had to google the solutions to. I had gathered all clues but just couldn't piece the information together at times, which is more of an issue with me rather than the game itself
I will say, that is a point of the autopilot--it's designed that way by the devs, and by the hearthians.
And because making an avoidance system function in frictionless space would be a nightmare
In regards to the voice acting, I do see your point. When I played, the only two characters who I felt connected to were Feldspar and Solanum. All the recurring characters you read about sort of fell by the wayside for me as I was prioritising puzzle-solving that by the time I realised there were characters in the text I'd already lost track of who was who. I don't personally think voice-acting would be the best solution (and apparently there's a very good voice-acting mod you can use), but thinking on it now I do think the game would benefit if each Nomai had a unique colour to help you remember who is who, as it took me a long while to remember names.
And as someone else said, the DLC has barely any reading. They use these crazy things called pictures.
0:22 I really liked the *Lapis philosophorum* in the background at some parts in this video
This is the first time I hear the Sonny Boy OST apart from listening to it by myself!
ur so entertaining u deserve at least one million subs
I just have one thing to say, the OST, MMMMH, so good
I've already played and beat it and am glad that you played it!
This is a game I WISH I could play for the first time again. It’s almost impossible to play again bc you already know how to beat it and there’s no tangible progression haha
chert - plays the drums, gets existential by the end of the cycle
gabbro - chill time buddy
slate - space engi
riebeck - afraid of space
esker - funny whistle man
"Mute the tab, and let the video play out."
I already do that, Jay
okay you're told that there is no collision avoidance on the autopilot, so when you put an astral body between you and your destination that's YOUR fault
5:43 that guy has way better teeth then us
The DLC is better than the base game imo. Trust!
Just like the rest of the game, the characterization is there but you have to go look for it. Multiple characters personalities get conveyed either through dialogue or other people’s dialogue, a lot of the time you have to go out and come back to get more options. Gabbro is a laid back and sometimes lazy hearthian that values the little things in life like taking time to relax and reflect. Chert is a smart hearthian that is the only one who gets an existential crisis from the universe ending just like you. Esker is the elder type that is lonely and wants hearthian interaction. Slate is a explosion loving guy and inventor that innovated the space exploration program, etc etc i think you get the point. I think the reason feldspar stood out to you as compared to the other characters is because most of the characters say his name with a type of respect and reverence that is hard to forget.
Only remembering feldspar is the most tragically in-character outcome. Meemaw just wants a break from the fame
When i first went to dark bramble and encountered the anglerfish i was wondering what the light was and approached it tentatively, and then it appeared out of the darkness and scared me SO FUCKING BAD and hit the boosters on going backwards and i hit a wall and fell back towards it and died
Youve talked about good games enough, im in.
There’s a mod that will add voice acting made by the community so hopefully that will help with the dialogue
There's a way easier solution to getting through the cactus building on ash twin.
Also hard disagree on the voice acting take. I much prefer sticking to just reading
Also #2 autopilot draws a straight line to where you are going so when you fly into the sun thats kinda on you
Conveniently I’ve been considering getting Outer Wilds
Is your full playthrough available to watch somewhere? Looks super entertaining.😂
There's a character that tells you the auto pilot will run into things. Its working as intended.
Truly another amazing video as always
Btw have your tried Rain world?
The game has the BEST A.I in the world so far
Basically it has an entire ecosystem
So the enemies aren't there just to challenge you
They actually hunt for prey and they don't despawn
And it's really hard
Voice Acting is literally subjective thing and preferences, the best would be having VA but also allowing players to turn it OFF, but in my opinion in this case it's not needed, Outer Wilds really don't need voice acting because it's helps to focus on yourself and gameplay/information rather than listening to someone, this game is not about good written characters (tho can't say they are too bad, they're more like just basic need to be added so the game doesn't feel empty) it's about exploration and being alone with yourself most of your time doing your things while dying and learning/discovering something new
P.S. and yes, i personally agree with the idea that you should leave the voices to your imagination (in such cases as this game) as you imagine them instead of other people creating their versions of them for you to hear without immersing yourself into it with your imagination, and that's not about being lame or lack of work/effort and budget.
I gotta heavy disagree on the voice acting tidbit honestly, and I can't really put my finger on why. I truthfully just think voice acting would have detracted from the atmosphere, I'm glad it was just text.
Dude you should play outer wilds
Fr fr
YEAAA THE SONNY BOY OST? bro i love you
Please do the dlc it absolutely blew my mind
THAT END CLIP THO
This is one of the games I put aside in a specific category called Experience Games. It usually has the essence of misdirection or complete surprise of where the plot is going. Another factor is the breadcrumb/no direction choke. It's a good style in many cases when you have faith in the player to comfortably progress. This, Subnautica, Shadow of the Colossus, Majora's Mask, Red Dead Redemption are a select few that are in this category because you are very aware by the end that you'll never get to play it for the first time again.
Hypnospace Outlaw too
mans goated using the sonny boy soundtrack
There's a mod coming out btw which implements voice acting into the game
You want to play a challenging game? Play Spelunky 2. Don't judge by it's cover. Just buy it and play it! Tons of secrets and so addicting
Autopilot sucks on purpose, they actually make a few jabs at it with Slate
you forgot the DLC, it’s such a good thing to play, and if you get the chance, play it
I haven't watched this yet, but I can tell you all of those people are right.
now echoes of the eye
Thank you for the Katana Zero OST :))
I wanna watch all the gameplay you had ;A;
Is there a place to watch your playthrough? It definitely looks fun. I figured it would be on your twitch channel, but there is literally nothing on there
Lol I've been meaning to get back into streaming, I just played the game with replay buffer on
@@TheStellarJay is there a way for us to view a recording of it though? I dont see your past streams on twitch. Also if you play the dlc id sure be interested in seeing that too. Its just fun to see other people discover things in this game.
I think ima stream the dlc on twitch, there is no way to see the rest of my playthrough unfortunately
@@TheStellarJay Please do. It is great, and always fun to see someone play through for the first time!
One of the greatest games ever played
Played this game the first time I tried weed. Didn’t know the controls but had played No Man’s Sky. Flew around the entire solar system multiple times in pants shitting panic just trying not to crash. Mentally screaming while narrowly avoiding planets at break neck speed. It was amazing.
This will be one of my favourite games of all time
Outer wilds and disco Elysium and superliminal came out the same year Kreygasm
Checking back in did you play the dlc
Is there a recording of his playthrough anywhere out there
it would just be weird to listen to a blue alien talk to u in english
weirder than reading what they say in english
Title makes it sound like it's pure only gameplay when it's an actual well-put together review, maybe change the title to something more of that nature. Recently discovered this Channel, loved it and hope it does well👍
Now you just need to do the dlc.
wHeRe can I watch you play it?!
Hey dude you should play outer wilds if you get the time!
A true masterpiece
1:30 just started and hes already a pro
Auto pilot is janky on purpose, so people won't relly on it too much. The npcs literally tell you it could fly you into the sun
I thought I was the only one that got outer worlds and wilds mixed up
4:53 The autopilot is intended.... but great video! I really liked it!
The footage you showed of your criticism of the ash twin was pretty much just you not understanding the puzzle and just trying to brute force it. Plus the voice acting thing, there is a mod to have that. But eh, I don't really like it. I guess I just like to voice the characters myself. Makes me feel more attached to them. Plus the autopilot is meant to be terrible. You are meant to get good with piloting the ship yourself.
HE DID IT LET'S GOOO
the first time i played this i was on 500mg of edibles lol. good times
this game is amazing high but also maybe harder to figure out what’s happening
yeah i know what you mean when you say that the names are hard to remember. but i honestly dont think it matters to remember their names, just the info that comes with their dioulgue
Is there anywhere to watch your playthrough?
2 anime songs in a single video. Nice.
I couldn't shut up about this game and its expansion DLC. It is a truly fucking amazing game, and it's such a unique experience.
As an Arizonan, I can confirm we are basically greater las vegas
Voice acting probably wasn’t in the budget, also it’s just generally hard to do especially as an indie dev which is why most indie games don’t have voice acting
