“Oh my god I’m on their planet”
I love when people start off thinking the owls are mystical. It’s such a good misdirect.
33:05 the universal outer wilds experience
"[misinterprets] well it was pretty obvious, its not, like, a reveal"
still find it as funny as it is frustrating when people forget about how momentum works in space and just hold forward to ram into and overshoot everything
I've seen people who have played Kerbal still not understand inertia, it's apparently a skill worth being proud of.
20:00 this is one of those great things that’s actually so consistent between base game and dlc. In the base game you see the sun explode and think “my goal is to stop it.” In the dlc you see a lot of focus on a chained up thing and think “my goal is to unchain it.” Both times wrong - what’s done is done and your goal exists in light of it. You can’t undo what has been done or is happening.
I mean you break the chains in the dream world, but not in the real world; but in a more metaphorical sense you think your goal is to free what’s trapped inside there. In the end, there is no freeing it, because its prison is death, and the only thing you can do it comfort it and help it move on (and fully die, I guess)
I guess. You do break the chains in the real world, but even if you somehow knew the code to disable the towers (which was only found through data mining) the prisoner is still a corpse.
my favorite part about watching echoes of the eye playthroughs is seeing people fall for the red herring of the codes and then the realization that you dont NEED the codes
I knew there had to be other people like me who tried dozing off at a fire with an artifact before I saw any of the relevant clues. Lol
I was actually dumb enough to go in the fire to restart the loop at the very start of the dlc. I had the first artifact I found in my hands so I just skipped a third on the intrigue kind of. I was really confused as of why there were red things flashing for no reason tho
The people around the fire with artifacts is a pretty relevant clue
@@coolbroccolie6455 i found sleeping (from the lore reel in the gorge) before i found out how to get to the secret fires, so for my first ~3 or so peeks into the VR, i was going in through the vault lol.
1) 1:34:48 You do not learn everything from that video if you did not know it before. Elements from the video will simply be removed or best guess. For example the comet would be removed from the sky if you never learned what happened there.
There's a version of this video out there that is the bare minimum. It's like, "lol, we just found yah."
yeah this is such a cool detail, though also ruined some people that have corrupt save files's experiences
@@mr.yuriinspector347 Yeahh, but luckily we've got a modding community that's pretty fantastic, so it's possible to just blip your entire ship's log into existence is someone doesn't want to replay!
Always a good day when I get to vicariously relive for the 85th time the best game ever 😌
Thanks you for continuing to feed my totally healthy and absolutely normal obsession with this game!
"I don't think they explicitly spelled out that they saw the end of the universe."
Bro they saw everything including planets and their species turn to dust
Like how, how do you not put that together, it's just such an odd part to not understand.
1:06:21
He just claimed to have discovered this by "accident" by walking away before watching the reel... in the room specifically designed to make this discovery possible.
And that's a sign of the brilliant game design, that even in the room specifically for that discovery, it still feels like it's your discovery and not the game telling you it explicitly
@@Imperial_Squid Thats a great point actually. It just put me off a little with how he seemed to say "I didnt learn much from this reel"
To be fair there are a number of people who didn't discover it in that room and instead had to be told via a slide reel. But as another comment said, its just good game design to give the player the chance to feel like they discovered it on their own without explicitly being shown what to do.
@@Shirospyre The slide reel is in that room, He discovered it by accident because of the rooms design, then watched the slide reel immedietly after and claimed "he already knew that" because he "discovered" it seconds ago
The number of people who are surprised by the big bang destroying the previous universe is tbh really surprising to me. I understood that immediately when i first saw the explosion at the end of the basegame. I guess I'm more familiar with the scientific concept of the big bang than the average person, so the ramifications were more clear for me? And I guess not everyone picked up on the 'death' theme on the base game. That tendency to not understand it is tbh why the DLC is so very important to the story and the themes in it- it really makes sure players GET that death and the beauty of life and death is part of the game... and an integral part of real life. This game is therapeutic, for real.
12:07 I find it odd how many people don’t get that the first time you enter the stranger, you’re on a different side than when you enter directly from timber hearth. It seems like folks think they’re warping into the stranger like dark bramble instead of just moving past a cloaking field.
It's way easier to understand that after you've already played the game and have flown to the stranger alot.
It's a completely normal and logical first observation.
I think it has something to do with the power of that first time you go through the cloak field. The music is so unsettling and the scene is so dark that it really does feel like you've gone through a portal to somewhere else (or at least that was my experience), and I think that sticks in peoples brains even as they're presented with some evidence to the contrary. You really need something to slap you in the face and say "Hey, you're still in the solar system buddy!" before you break that preconception.
Warping is something they've likely already experienced in outer wilds, so it makes sense they'd think this would function similarly before realising it's a cloaking field, something they haven't seen in outer wilds before.
I didn't even notice I started from a different place, only realized that watching other playthroughs. completely forgot about the raft dropping you into the water
A few reasons most people would miss this:
- Every other planet in the system rotates and revolves around the sun; every time you approach them you’re coming from a different direction, and you see something totally different when you get there (a different side of the planet). When you approach the stranger, from either side, it looks the same, all the way up until you go through the skinny light door into the ring. It makes sense to think that whenever you approach the stranger it’s the same, since it looks and feels the same from either side, unlike every other planet.
- People generally have a really bad sense of 3D space, especially in video games. For most people it never clicks that the solar system is on the same planar orbit but that the stranger is way “above” it. So they would have no reason to know or think they’re approaching it from an “opposite side” unless they think hard enough about it
- Mechanically, going past the cloak “feels” like a video game loading zone (and I assume it is, though I’m not actually sure). So a natural instinct for anyone who’s played games before is that you’ll load into the same place every time
Omg, I watched a lot of DLC playthroughs before, but this is the first one where someone completely misinterprets even the full versions of the reels.
Ship: is ring
Sun: sphere?
42:04 i like how he says it’s them dreaming of home when the track that plays here is called “a dream of home” ::)
"If I wasn't recording for RUclips, it is at this point that I would simply stop playing the game"
Bruhhhhh
Even I might have said the same thing if I played the DLC a couple years earlier.
1:47:27 incredible edit eelis, I'm so glad i was looking at the screen for that 😂
This was definitely the least enjoyable playthrough to watch. Living Sun *CONSTANTLY* doesn't understand that the order he found the slides in isn't that same order that the events happened in *chronologically* and is confused the entire playthrough.
"Yeah so after they locked the prisoner up, why did they then build the Stranger? Were they trying to go over and fix the connection to their Eye signal-blocking device?" -_-
WOOOO thanks eelis!!
Eelis I commend you and your dedication to entertaining us with these playthroughs
1:01:15 Manliest scream ever
22:30 when in doubt, deploy elaborate summoning circle
Homemade, but store-brought is also fine
(in DJ Khaled's voice) Another one!
Thank you once again Eelis, hope your computer/personal troubles got solved :)
47:10 this made me hurt so much
Oh, so he's never found the breach!
Bro glossed over the emotional impact of the cutscene by yapping over it.
yep, straight to the veins.
thank you
I eagerly await my next injection of Outer Wilds 💉
Nice! a new one!
Thank u so much eelis ❤
I hope more are coming. Us two have seen all you have uploaded. D:
I promise to like each new video! D:
1:02:48 was actually chilling. The owlks are so intimidating
Great work!
Love how the initial tower shenanigans led to him clearing The Bottleneck first try
Dyson sphere is a super structure that surrounds a sun that can completely encompass and enclose the star. Doing so allows a civilization to possibly capture *all* energy from the star.
What you are on is just a satellite with gravity due to rotation, bro. Though the amount of force to keep an entire river stuck would have to be so much farther from the center or the satellite would have to be spinning like a demon 😂
probably accurate enough if you consider how weak the gravitational force needs to be to sustain such a tiny star
Meanwhile the Nomai are like “gravity rocks go brrr” OW is such a fun mix of science and science fiction.
Ringworld or the more formal Niven Ring
@@greenyxd7298 it's all fiction so how it works behind the scenes is handwaved away. You can theoretically work out the numbers but then you start seeing the true meaning of "exponential".
I mean, what if some hilarious and silly author decides to write about a world that is on the back of a few elephants all standing on the back of a turtle. Imagine that lol
The source of the world turtle and elephants is from Hindu mythology and also a Chinese story that forgoes the elephants and keeps the turtle (after cutting off its legs)
its actually so cool he found out rhe artifact through trial and error very soon ish, a lot of people don't really experiment
thanks for the content!!!! i watch so many of your videos
at least to my understanding the owl people didnt want to protect other races for searching the eye of the universe, i think that if one of them entered prematurely it would have ended anyways because "an observer has entered the eye" (didnt matter when), or maybe the universe would have followed its course till the end but because we dont know how time works at the eye maybe the first observer would feel like it ended instantly.
you can even see in one reel that new universes are being formed out of their skull(memories) because in their vision they were the observer that entered.
"how time works at the eye" I've seen so many people attribute weird additional time powers to this object whose whole deal is "affected by the eye of the beholder," and which clearly just slows/petrifies/entangles the atoms of everything nearby. "Time" is "different" because you, the brain observing it, have been slowed to a crawl, there's no actual time manipulation
@@quantumblur_3145 the same thing tho? I assume the universe ended on its own terms while you were "observing" it one last time.
Not first, not last, still enjoying it
Sigh, perhaps lowest INT playthrough ever
But still a labor of love to this old masterpiece to mend and trim it all together ^^ thank you o/
Oh hey he noticed the symbols resembled signals bouncing around
Edit: oh, hey, this is pre-patch, they do the CallForHelp GhostAction. Never actually seen it in motion before.
i just watched preachgamings playthrough of this and am surprised to see two people call the stranger a dyson sphere.
even though it's not at all a dyson sphere
Popsci brainrot
If I had a nickel for ever time someone calling the stranger a dyson sphere, I would have 2 nickels. Which is not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Nice!
Yo, I think you might get requests like this a lot and I don’t know your MO but CarlSagan42 has a full playthrough on his channel and on his second channel CarlPlayin42 has a full playthrough of echo.
1:20:16 ...What the hell was that?
Whoa wtf yeah the textures start sliding, wha
Someone that actually turns on reduced frights, that's nice.
For the bloody algorithm
Have you plans to do a super cut of Amelia Watson’s play through?
I don't think I've seen that version of the time loop ending? Is this like the first version of it before patches?
No it's just when you are on the stranger you don't die to the supernova so it's the ATP pulling your memories into the black hole
@@itspaddydno I know that type of animation, I just don't remember the exact animation. I remember it being way different. Id have to check other videos, that or maybe he has his fov wierd and it's messing with it. I don't know. Something looks wrong about it to me
@@itspaddyd so I double checked the librarians video and it's an entirely different animation. The one I'm use to closes in a diamond shape, while the one on this video closes like an eye shape.
@@lazyratto I think they patched it at one point to be the "90's windows screensaver" style.
What are the chances of him figuring out this much by just guessing?!
1:25 What do you mean, "again?"
whenever i have friends who have trouble with scary things who are playing this game, i always just tell them where the secret bridge entrance to see the slide reel about leaving your lantern behind is, because having the ability to see in fullbright whenever you want reduces the scariness factor significantly
53:27
"If I was not recording for youtube, it is at this point that I would simply stop playing the game"
That is exactly the point that I stopped playing the game, wasn't a fan of the amount stress and anxiety causing me physical pain
I also stopped playing at that point, but only briefly. It wasn't the stress or jumpscares that got me, but my eyesight isn't great with poor light (in real life and in games), and I was angry that the game expected me to stealth around in very dim light (I assumed - it appeared pitch black to me, but I assumed it was just my eyesight). Fortunately, after sleeping on it, I cooled down a bit, and decided to just give it another go and see how far I could get without covering my light. With a bit of repetition, I learned where enemies were and how to evade them, and I got past that bit.
And then after finishing the DLC and watching other people playing, I learned that most of the stealth sections could actually be bypassed if you didn't assume "the game has stealth mechanics, so that must be what the game expects you to do in these sections." 😁
@@robrendell4168 It's so genius that besides the 3 'glitch' tricks that you learn when completing a code section, or performing the stealth sections without getting caught, all sections ALSO have a *big brain* solution to complete where you encounter 0 or only 1 guard. They all involve using the rafts to complete a different section than the one you entered the dream world at.
It was so frustrating to see so many people complain that they NEED to perform stealth sections and that stealth is not what they wanted out of the Outer Wilds experience, when the stealth sections are like trying to jetpack through the cactus hallway to the sun station, or to frustratingly squeeze in your ship to land at the black hole forge instead of taking the proper route.
7:10 i think "Dyson Ring" would be more accurate here, but better than "a halo" like most people seem to grab first 😂
1:36:14 oh ffs 🤦
it's not a dyson ring either, one of the core components of a dyson structure is that it surrounds an astral body, usually a sun, in order to capture its energy. It's a bishop ring.
not even a dyson anything, it's doesn't surround any star for energy
What a coward
