Hey guys! Hope you enjoy the video! Please no spoilers for the DLC in the comments, thank you!
Not a spoiler, but 1:35:22 - look up the name, look familiar? 😀Assuming you're relatively "well watched" of course.
I wouldn't turn that DLC option on though. The better option is to use your brain instead.
I've only seen it activated a couple of times out of many playthroughs I've watched. And you play better than many of them.
@@gottagowork reduced frights makes no difference in gameplay and can improve the experience of someone who wants to enjoy the game and not get scared to death , if he wants to turn it on let him lol
@@ikelos8190 I think there are impacts on gameplay, but I'll discuss those post game to avoid spoilers. I'm giving my opinion, I'm in no position to "tell him what to do". I still wouldn't recommend turning it on in anticipation of it.
what I recommend is that you don't turn on reduced frights at first, and if you really can't do it, then turn it on, at least that way the people that want you to play with it off won't be as disappointed from the get go as they should understand
Reduced frights kinda does change the gameplay as it alters the experience you ultimately end up getting. That said if you really cannot handle it, its better to have experienced the DLC than not at all. I also I think that message at the start just adds unnecessary anxiety all by itself.
"All good things must come to an end," he says, perfectly predicting the message of the game
The balls on this man
He reads everything, understands it, and just fucking goes for it the second he gets access to the warp core. I was scared out of my goddamn mind and I went galaxy brain plotting out every eventuality before I pulled the core. You pulled it without a doubt and just RAN.
Hats off to you, sir.
Ahahah when it's time to go, it's time to GO! (I was terrified the whole time, mind you)
@@LukaelPlays Just watched the rest. Glad you had a good time :) I just played through the game back in November and it's been a nice side activity watching others go through the same ordeal. You're a great perspective to watch through. Thanks for recording :)
Thank you for watching!
Yeah, even I have to admit that's just mind-boggling. I also found the Ash Twin Project as very last major discovery and once I figured out the exact process of activating the Vessel, I did a few loops worth of practices before doing it for real, got it on first try. To even think of doing it right off the bat is just flat out amazing.
Across old bark
The quiet shade
It’s always dark
In the ancient glade
Although the dark
Will come to pass
A new universe
We made at last
i really like this 👍
Such a great game and playthrough. I will literally never be over how well designed this game is and how it fits into the big ideas they're getting at. Like, most players (including me) assume for most of the game that the goal is to stop the sun from exploding, and the devs know you'll assume this - so you get the whole story buildup of learning the Nomai were trying to trigger a supernova, letting you think maybe you can turn off whatever they did and save everyone. Only to be slapped in the face with the realization that they weren't successful. You can't stop the sun from exploding because this is the death of the universe. You can't stop it, you never could have stopped it, you have no control over such massive cosmic forces, you are an insignificant grain of sand in the scope of the universe and nothing you do matters.
And then at the end it turns around and says - no, what you did still mattered, the friends you made still mattered, the people who all died out millennia ago still mattered. Everything is going to die and it still mattered because you loved it. Aghh this game still makes me cry every time I see the end haha
Thanks for playing through this, it was great fun to follow along each week, and can't wait for EotE.
To be honest, I never thought there would be any way to stop the sun from exploding at any point in my playthrough, because like you said, it's such a massive cosmic event, that how could that be possible? I guess I'm not really sure what I was expecting other than hopefully understanding WHY it was happening.... but I really love how they did the ending. Thank you for following along!
Not just that but you were needed to observe the end, it couldn't have happened without you there to see it. The universe needed someone to see the end and you were the one to do it. I cried like a baby at the end of this. Both because of what happened and that I'd never be able to experience this for the first time again.
The buffering symbol is the single greatest edit in this series
That was hilarious!
1:01:40 I can’t believe you noticed that! That’s amazing.
This game is so unbelievably beautiful…the part that, thematically, brings it up to one of my favorite things ever is the way the ending recontextualizes everything that’s happened. It’s when you realize you aren’t the be-all and end-all of the universe. You’re just like the Nomai were to you: an ancient civilization thanks to whom somebody in the future will get to live on. It’s all in that line from the Tower of Quantum Trials that goes something like “You walk in the footsteps of those who came before, and pave the way for those who come after.” Absolutely masterful-and that’s on top of everything else it does so well.
Outer Wilds: the best game you only get to play once (and then watch other people play it to live vicariously through).
Cheers to a great series, now I’m off to watch the DLC!
The blue/orange text thing isn't a big mystery, although I also didn't figure it out until someone explained it to me. Maybe spoilers if you really want to figure out all the technical details yourself, I guess, but I promise it isn't really a plot point or anything like that.
The projection platforms let you see in real time across the solar system. What do you think the Nomai used them for? Why can projection stones be used both in those platforms, and on writing walls?
Answer: the projection platforms were used essentially for Skype calls. The stones record conversations. Outgoing and incoming text are orange and blue, not necessarily in that order.
Now you know.
51:50 I love how you noticed the difference in the music, to show that you are reaching the end. This is one of the best playthroughs of outerwilds I have seen. Its one of my favorite games of all time
Aw man, thank you so much!
I only got to watch this finale now, but this is one of my favorite playthroughs of the game I've watched (I have watched many). Your intrigue and how you connect things together and verbalize what you're thinking is excellent. Getting emotional when you watch all the galaxies die even when you're not sure why and when you reach the end of everything is entirely normal 😃
Thank you so much, that's a huge compliment! happy you enjoyed it c:
Easily the best game I've ever played. Can't get enough watching others play it
I like to think that the last song of the Travelers around a cozy campfire is the Universe's way of saying "I love you. I have always loved you. But it's time for something new, now. Just let me give you one last goodbye."
Outer Wilds will always be my favorite game, I suspect. I'll play dozens more, but as you said, I doubt I'll find any other that can match this experience. It evokes such raw, profound emotion and offers a new outlook on.. just about everything really.
I'm glad you got to enjoy this game, and I'm glad to know you were impacted as much as I was. Safe explorations, fellow Traveler. May you find many other Let's-Play videos to your liking. ^u^
There's some neat, but relatively inconsequential lore tidbits you (unsurprisingly) missed, as they are everywhere. When I first finished this game I went back and looked up the ones I missed to get them all just to do it. One I remember just stumbling on though was on Timber Hearth, some Nomai script at the bottom of some pool mentioning a creature that clearly eventually evolved in to the Hearthians. So many good tidbits everywhere.
Keep watching ;)
I hope you see this Lukael, as i want you to understand how much this playthrough means to people like me who long for the time when we hadn't played this game, so that we could experience it again for the first time. Truly a beautiful playthrough and i really appreciate how you understood the emotional weight behind the story of the Nomai and the lessons that the game is trying to tell. Thank you Lukael, I can not wait for another adventure in the DLC and even what comes after, i will stay for the journey as your overall positive outlook on games and life is something that is so special.
My personal outlook on the lesson of Outer Wilds is that:
"Impermanence is beautiful, and that's ok"
The end was an extravagent light show of cosmic supernovas which was simply beautiful. However it leaves us to come to par with what we had just done and how deep down we don't want it to end. Outer wilds teachs us to understand that all good things must come to an end, "and that's ok."
Despite being in a time loop, the end was inevitable. A simple hearthian with 4 eyes left to discover the fate of their universe.
I'll say it again Lukael, Thank you.
Thank YOU for your kind comment, I'm glad I could allow you to relive through this wonderful game! I'm right there with you when it comes to the message I took from Outer Wilds, even if things have to end, that doesn't mean they don't have value, far from it!
Excellent comment, thank you!
Just started watching this episode and I already want to say: You did it! I'm so proud of you!
And now I will watch the rest of the video and cry at the ending *again*
Thank you!!
Can't believe you freaked out the whole ending when it was so sweet and wholesome, first time I see someone get scared for that. Only the anglerfish jumpscare was understandable
Fear of the unknown I guess!
I know this is a year old, but I started watching your Dredge playthrough, I came back to watch you play this. Absolutely 10 out of 10. You are thoughtful and I really enjoy your style and personality. Watching you play through the ending gave me chills. Thank you, Lukael, for allowing me to feel a second time the wonder, joy, and bittersweet sorrow that is this wonderful game.
Thank you so much for this very kind comment 😭 I'm glad you got to relive this great game through this playthrough!
So... How are you coping, now that you know it's over? One hell of a ride, huh? Lucky you, now you are fully ready for the DLC without having to wait... Just imagine our excitement when the DLC came out of nowhere, for anyone that was able to play the base game early! As soon as I learned there was a DLC, I think I bought it within the hour, and without even looking at what it was about. Don't know, don't care. Just take my money! 😂
1:43:34 This point actually has new meaning to me now, that it didn't when i played the game in 2019, as i was recently diagnosed with Cancer, so "the end" or at least "my" end is has been brought to the forefront of my mind as of late.
As for Echoes of the Eye, I don't think "scary" is the right word, id recommend trying it with reduced frights off, and if you feel uncomfortable turn it on later as the game was "intended" to be played with the option off. I confess, i turned it on late in my playthrough and i kind of regret doing so as it made my experience feel just that small amount less "authentic" to me.
I really enjoyed watching your playthrough and will stick around to see you play more games, as i mentioned last week, The Forgotten City would be a great follow up to this. Thanks for providing some entertainment today.
Damn, I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this, I cant imagine how difficult it must be. I truly hope youll be able to get through it and live on to have many wonderful memories in the future. Im glad you enjoyed my playthrough and that I was able to provide a few hours of fun! Have a great new year!
Everyone feels that epic final voyage moment deeply. It’s a phenomenal moment in video gaming. Congrats and see you in the DLC 😈
Great job! Very nice playthrough. Yes, the probe you launched was the same probe 13.4 billion years later :) older than the universe itself ;) can't wait to see the dlc, hope you enjoy it just as much!
So SO happy I found your channel! A relative sent it to me to watch this play through and I can definitively say it’s the best. Thank you for blessing us with this, so so excited to watch other games of yours.
Oh wow 😄 I'm grateful to your relative then! appreciate the kind words!
Great playthrough! Loved every minute.
The DLC is better than you can imagine, in every way; Can't wait to see you go through it!
Can't wait to see for myself!
"did you fucking grab it?" 🤣🤣🤣
Don't start a new game for the DLC. You need a completed log for best ending.
Will very heavily recommend you reconsider the reduced frights option and only turn it on if you REALLY need it. It has gameplay implications and It straight up trivializes a specific section of the DLC, and while might help with some parts, other parts of the DLC will still be scary regardless of the setting.
You and Tunote have thus far have my favorite playthroughs of Outer Wilds. It's always a fun journey to see the range of emotions others go through when playing the game, and I'm looking forward to EotE and your other playthroughs Sera. Happy New Year ☺
Funny how your experience was close to mine. From the uneasiness upon reaching the Eye, the fish jumpscare and to not understating the freaking banjo tower. Sad that I didn’t capture my own reaction but yours sums it up really well lol
So, breakdown of open question that can be answered without DLC info (Spoilers for the main game, no spoilers for DLC)
Minor non-spoiler things first:
- Why did autopilot sometimes fails to get to Interloper? - OW's autopilot is very simple, and just records the speed of the target at the moment when you start the autopilot, matches it, and tries to fly the neccesary distance. But because Interloper's orbit is highly elliptical, it's speed is not the same across the orbit, as it gets closer to the sun, it moves faster. So, autopilot matches the slower speed, and then Interloper accelerates, which results in it smacking your ship face on from some angels, and autopilot completely missing it from others.
- Anglerfish mechanics - The only thing that aggros them is the sound of the engines, either suit or ship, and only when that sound is above 1 division of the compass. Duration of the sound doesn't matter - pushing the joystick fully forward will aggro them instantly, while you can keep going at 1 division through whole Bramble and never have trouble. Also, Scount Launcher doesn't aggro the fishes, and can be used for movement - both suit and ship form give you a little push when you launch it (conservation of momentum), but because it's recalled via warp, there's no such push on retrival. So by repeatedly launching on recalling the probe, away from the direction you want to go can accelerate you. Can also be useful in places with high gravity as an additional boost to jetback (though not neccesary).
More spoilery things:
- Why did the Vessel crash? - Nomai jumped to the Eye signal without checking anything first, and instead of the Eye they jumped into Dark Bramble, because it was 'repeating' the signal the same way it makes duplicate signal of scouts, etc. Dark Bramble is weird by itself, and isn't connected to the broken warp core.
- Why did the statue pair to you? - When you first wake up, it's the loop during which the probe cannon is going to find the Eye, but hasn't found it yet. While you go around the village, and get to Observatory, the probe reaches the Eye. When you go back, the Eye is found, and statues are activated, but everyone else already left the room. So when you enter, the statue pairs. At the same time, Gabbro is exploring the statue island again, and also pairs with the statue right outside the workshop door.
- How Nomai were planning to survive? - For them, it would just be 22 minutes - they start the Sun Station, go on a few million loops without retaning memories, cannon finds the Eye, they disable the Sun Station, and it's as if nothing ever happened, and they found the Eye on the first try. The key thing is that they would be able stop the supernova by just telling the Sun Station not to fire.
- Why couldn't you get to Interloper in Ep 7? - The Interloper is open when it passes close to the sun, and then refreezes again. It completes two sun-passes before getting swallowed, and you skipped the first one.
- What's the deal with Interloper/Ghost matter - Inteloper arrive to the solar system about when Nomai have failed to fire the Sun Station, they immediately went to explore it, and found a rock full of ghost matter. As Interloper got closer to the sun, the rock exploded, covering the whole solar system in ghost matter, and Nomai were dead within hours of Interloper's arrival (at OW's toy space scale). The child in the village explains that ghost matter evoparates slowly, so over 300000 years, most of it has evaporated, leaving only a few pockets remaining. Hearthians could survive because they were fully aquatic species at the time (Riebeck tells you that if you tell him about the Interloper), and Ghost Matter is suppressed by water (never neccesary, but can be tested when Gabbro's Island goes underwater after a cyclone collision)
- What's the deal with Supernovas - The stars just have gotten to their natural end of lifespan, and end in supernovas across the galaxy. The Interloper getting eaten has nothing to do with sun's explosion, it's a consequence of sun's expansion that causes it to cover Interloper's orbit
- What's the deal with Solanum and the Moon - Solanum is dead in 5 out of 6 'possibilities' of the Quantum Moon, but survives at the Eye because it's far enough away that Ghost Matter never reached it. You can get unique ending by removing the warp core, and going to Solanum, replicating her 'feat'.
That pretty much covers it all!
"I'm feeling emotional, and I don't really know why." You said it, bud. I love that the ending is ambiguous, because it really hits home: the game never really was about the ending, was it?
Boy, I was not expecting to cry rewatching this like I did when I first played it. Such an important, emotional game.
You should do one more episode where you fill in the rest of the ship’s computer. There’s still a few cool places and lore you could find.
will be exploring a bit more when I do the DLC!
No matter how many playthroughs I watch, this game doesn't get old. That soundtrack when you remove the Warp Core and then the game ending 14.3 billion years later... So amazing
(also i was silently yelling to myself that he hopefully tries throwing the scout in there lol)
Well, today i learned you get a secong chance of throwing it! Yeah... after countless let's plays you still learn with this amazing game...
Man, I just finished this chapter, and it's my first comment for you, and I wanted to tell you that this is one of the most beautiful and genuine playthroughs I've ever seen. And well, maybe I should have waited to play this game only in the future when I have a good PC or something, because maybe I missed out on a good experience. But I don't regret having enjoyed it with you, seeing your reactions and listening to your theories, that was something really wonderful.
Now I will continue to watch you play the DLC, and I will see what it can surprise me with, plus I will be happy because you are the one who has played it.
Excuse me for the long message, but I discovered your channel recently and you deserve all the support in the world with it, you are very good at what you do and well, what else do I have to say? That subscription was worth it. Have a wonderful day Lukael!
Thank you for such a kind message! your words mean a lot to me, I'm glad you enjoyed the journey! 😌
This is the closest playthrough to what I did, though I found the eye coords before I found the vessel. That "oh shit" moment when you yank out that warp core knowing full well that you're fucked if you don't make it in time is exhilerating. Most playthroughs I see, people die with the warp core in hand. Cool to see someone who didn't get the "You Are Dead" screen in their playthrough.
I don't know how much more you've thought about this since finishing the game, but my theory is this:
The Eye harnesses the power of consciousness itself as the spark, the catalyst, the inspiration for creating a new universe. It sends its signal out to summon a conscious observer who can take everything they know, everything they've learned from everyone they've met during their short time in the universe, and the eye uses all that lived experience to build the foundations for a new universe. That's why your friends are there with their instruments, because they are what matters to your character, and music is important to your culture. So you essentially use your friends' music to play the new universe into existence. That's why in the post-credits scene you see pine trees and a campfire, and creatures around it telling stories. (spoiler: something else also features in that scene after you do the DLC, because it's something else you've experienced that carries forward into the next one)
Loved this playthrough from start to finish! You're a very entertaining person to watch so I'm definitely going to stick around to see what you're going to bring in the future. A very happy newyear to you and everyone reading this comment!
Thank you for your kind comment! very happy you enjoyed, and a great new year to you too!
The great thing about Outer Wilds, is that while you can only play the game once, you can watch other people play it and get all the original story beats from a fresh new perspective. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Indeed! that's why we do it! 😌
I absolutely loved this playthrough. Thank you for playing this amazing underrated masterpiece!
Teared up again at the end. Very few things hit me this hard. Off hand all I can think of are Disco Elysium and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.
I loved that movie!
eeaao is my favorite 🙏
The statue activating for you… remember they said the statues would only pair when ash twin succeeded or if the equipment failed. (Nobody was supposed to be aware of the 9 million probe loops, and so neither were you… until… 😊)
Exactly! So basically the character the player plays did go to the observatory 9,318,054 times to pick up the launch codes, went out for a little exploration ride and was later killed by the supernova (if not earlier) 😅
@@hampus93 well no they did all of this exactly once, using the memories from timelines that didn't happen
@@TPHRyan Semantics! In this timeline it only happened once, yes, but I'm obviously talking about all the timelines :P
Thanks for this walkthrough! I found this channel thanks to Outer Wilds, and I'm glad I did it. Firstly, this is one of the best emotional walkthroughs of this game, and secondly, the player has a pleasant voice and the presentation of his thoughts, which is also important! I'm definitely staying on the channel to watch other games and experience them together!
Never heard anyone say I have a pleasant voice before, that's very nice of you to say! Glad you found the channel and enjoyed the playthrough! :) hope you'll like the other games I'll play!
One of the few games that fully utilizes the medium to give an experience you simply can't get in any other way. Beautiful, haunting, scary, incredible. Truly one of the best of all time.
This has been a really fun playthrough! This final stretch has been exciting to watch. I’m about to watch you take the leap of faith now.
Update: I love seeing your reaction to the ending. Every time I watch a playthrough (which has occurred more often than I’m willing to admit), I love that every time the player has to take ten to fifteen minutes to sort through their feelings.
There are other things in the base game you can find/do before starting the DLC. If you’re interested in some of the wacky ways you can play around with certain Nomai projects 😁
@@yawnface9756 thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed! I'll try messing around with some stuff when I get into the DLC!
LETS FUCKING GOOOO gonna get some snacks and enjoy this in one sitting
Updates:
-WOW you figured out where to put the coordinates so fast damn im impressed!
-i got so invested i forgot to write updates but damn im also crying with you dude
-yes thats exactly because you sent the probe in hahahah
Ahaha I had messed around in the vessel so long before finding coordinates, as soon as I saw them I was like OOOOOHHHHH
@@LukaelPlayslol same
1:34:50 I wish you could bring a marshmallow, roasting a marshmallow on the big bang. Haha
Incredible playthrough! ❤
By the way, at the end when searching for the banjo inside the house, the house like almost everything else there is quantum. It changed everything you lost sight of it, that's why you could enter at the end and couldn't before
This was a great watch. Thank you! Since you're done, some fun things. When you land on the quantum moon, her body is also quantum. If you look away and back, her body shifts into different positions. She is entangled with the moon, so she is both alive and dead, and only when you look at her does all of her possible places and states of being gets reduced to a single possibility. So she is in fact dead when you observe her body, but she is in fact alive when you observe her being alive. Also the skeletons near the cave shard does the same, their bodies change positions every time you look at them. The reason the cannon fires at a different direction is because it is programmed to fire at a random direction indefinitely until someone stops the project. The cannon fires, reports if it found the eye or not, and that information gets sent back into the past. The cannon then checks off that trajectory as attempted then fires with a new trajectory. It ended up finding the eye, but the nomai are no longer around to turn off the project. Essentially, the probe finds the eye on the loop you start the game in, the statues activate and pair with the closest person to them which just happened to be you and Gabbro. The reason the shiplog persists is because they said they used part of a statue in the ship design or something, so it also gets memories or something. Also, there are a couple of super cool in universe Easter eggs. I won't spoil them, but if you're interested, find them on youtube! One involves the high energy lab and the other involves the atp. The ending essentially has the eye using your memories to birth the new universe. If you never found solnanum on the quantum moon, she wouldn't be at the campfire since she wouldn't be in your memories. I like to imagine that the eye is a natural system reboot every few x amount of years, so someone billions of years ago made the same journey you did to create YOUR universe. Cheers!
I'm so happy this series came into my recommended, Outer Wilds is my favorite game. I'm literally shocked that you only have 600 subscribers, because of how high quality the videos you make are :D Easily in my top 3 youtubers already, exited to see what other kinds of content you make :) Also really looking forward to the DLC playthrough! It is scary but somehow just as good as the original game. (also looking forward to being able to join the patreon!)
Damn, you've made my day with this nice comment! I'm really happy you enjoyed the playthrough, it's surreal to have someone call me one of their fav youtubers 🤯 Outer Wilds has helped me gain a bit more subs, so that's been nice! I'm always trying to improve the quality of the videos, so thanks so much for your support! I'll be posting Echoes of the Eye this friday!
Amazing walkthrough! watching new realizations come to your mind as you put pieces of a puzzle together is truly satisfying! I come back to this game again and again thanks to playthroughs like this. After all, this is truly one of the few truly unique games. I enjoyed it from start to finish! Thank you
Thank you for watching! c:
Solanum survived because of the superposition of the Quantum Moon. It existed in all six locations simultaneously at the moment the Interloper burst. On the HT, TH, BH, GD, and DB instances of the QM, Solanum was within reach of the ghost matter and died painfully and horribly. But on the EotU instance, she was safely out of range and survived. This is why she is alive only at the sixth location and is a dead corpse everywhere else.
She got Schrödinger's Cat'd.
55:43 As soon as you parked the ship I was just saying to myself "Don'tForgetToPutTheSuitOn. Don'tForgetToPutTheSuitOn. Don'tForgetToPutTheSuitOn." And you were So Close to losing the whole run! Nice work making it to the end of the game. Always fun to watch people discover it all over again. You have a very expressive face that's fun to watch.
The part about how the probe fires in a different direction each loop also perplexes me. I just decided to think that when the data gets sent back in time, it's also programmed to fire in a different direction.
And if you're looking for another game that's heavily focused on discovering things, Tunic is in the same vein and I'd recommend it if you watch the trailer and find it interesting.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the playthrough! Tunic is on my list, I'd love to get around to it at some point!
Dude, I wanted to thank you for this touching and beautiful lets play of Outer Wilds.
I've watched ton of them, you're my first english one, and it was one on my very favourites. I love how you got deep into it, always thinking about theories, and devoring every part of the game... I had a similiar experience, this game litterally changed something in my mind. I loved how you got emotional to the end, and you ended to make me too...
I wanted to be here with you brother, both crying watching the end of the universe. :')
Big thanks and see you around, Outer Wilds lover.
Thank you for watching and for this very kind comment! Makes me really happy to know how much you enjoyed this playthrough! It truly is an amazing game and I'm grateful I get to share it with people who love it as much as I do!
I loved this playthrough, thank you so much for making it. It was so fun to hear you think through the warp core, what you thought before jumping through the final black hole, it was excellent!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Great play. Definitely got a new subscriber. Love the commentary. Love the humor. And the little bits of editing are masterful. The absolutely madness of grabbing the core with 8 minutes and no plan was pure anxiety but you did it and the ending hit just how it’s supposed to with maximum tension.
Ahah thank you! Im glad you enjoyed!
Wow, you've definitely had the most... visceral... reaction of any youtuber I've watched to when you were seconds before making that jump, haha. Amazing reactions! And yeah... The DLC... I saw one of the reviews say it was so scary they had to stop playing and watch someone else finish it... Not to make you worry or anything ;P But! The journey and the emotions it brings is worth being scared for...
It was a super ominous and foreboding moment for sure, I will always remember it! glad you enjoyed! I can't wait for the DLC!
Such an unbelievably profound game! The ending gets me every time. This had been a great playthrough and you good sir are a great entertainer! Can't wait to watch echoes of the eye!
Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy the rest!
I've seen about 5 blind runs and your visit to the Eye was my absolute favorite. You and I got scared at the exact same parts, especially that damn fish.
Really happy to hear that, that means a lot! and man..................... that damn fish
@@LukaelPlays I had a friend guide me through bramble because I have a massive fear of the ocean. Seeing those fish made me close the game outright. She literally played that part for me so I could get through the game. She assured me the eye was completely safe, just eerie.
When that damn fish came over the horizon, I legit busted into cold sweats and had to walk around to calm down. It soured a lot of the ending for me. She legit forgot the fish was there cause she hadn't played in years, but I definitely never did lol
Either way, it was validating to see I didn't overreact. I'm looking forward to start your dlc episodes.
At the end all your attempts can collapse to a single play of the game within 22 minutes from the statue looking at you and you teleport near the eye, so you can finish the game in 30-40 minutes. All exploration you did is optional, but somehow required.
Thanks for sharing your time with us. This game is wonderful, glad you enjoyed it 😊
I greatly appreciate how much you actually pay attention and think about what you are seeing in the game. When you pause the game and hypothesize what you think will happen is an excellent quality and the hallmark of a scientific mind! It was truly enjoyable to watch you play through this game.
I strongly encourage you *not* to enable Reduced Frights for the Echoes of the Eye. Frankly, Mobius shot themselves in the foot by adding that because simply by adding it players begin to wonder “these assholes made DARK BRAMBLE and thought that was ok, what could they possible have made that is so scary they felt they need to add a warning for it!!?” And that kind of mental effect plays a much bigger role than the scares that actually occur in the DLC.
I cannot wait to see you play through the DLC, especially with how much you have learned from the main game (and some things you noticed that may tie in that so many people never saw!)
Subbed for sure as well
Thank you so much! After seeing everyone's comments I'm probably gonna leave the Reduced Frights off
This is one of my favorite playthroughs of this game I’ve seen! Can’t wait for the DLC!!
I've loved your playthrough as I've loved every playthrough I've watched. You're so smart and figured things out very quickly, rivaled only by NerdCubed haha. I'm so stoked to see you play the DLC, I hope you enjoy it as much as the main game, I know I did. Keep exploring, astronaut.
P.S. I loved the details you noticed and I would be amused to see you go to the center of Ash Twin at a certain point in time ;)
Finally got around to watching a playthrough of the game after having finished the DLC myself a few months ago. I really enjoyed watching you go through the game. Obviously this being a game you can't really replay in any significant way, it was awesome experiencing it vicariously as you worked your way through the mystery. Excellent play through.
Oh wow, am I the first playthrough you watched after finishing? if so, I'm honored! there will be lots more in the future I'm sure! really happy you enjoyed mine, thank you for watching!
It might be worth noting you can place a marker on any location you've ever been to in the ship's log
Great playthrough 🥳
Please play the DLC with the frights on!
1. I don't think it's scarier than the angler fish anyways, and also: 2. Some puzzles can kind of be skipped if frights is off, so you would kind of ruin parts of the experience :/
Thank you!
I would have said I'm a year late, but not for this game. Gotta agree with everyone else, this was one of the most enjoyable playthroughs I got to see. Your pace, theorizing, shock and awe really warmed my evenings. This game has no equals - the bastards really took "the real treasure are the friends you made along the way" literally. I wish you all the best and thanks for sharing Lukael. Now on to the horrors of the DLC :)
Thank you so much for watching! really glad you enjoyed the playthrough!
Loved this playthrough, very unique and fun. What a game
playing this after subnautica made the darkness of the core of giiants deep the most tense part of this game for me, i was just waiting for something fucked up to happen while i was out there
Excellent playthrough dude, that was great, and I can't wait for the DLC!
À propos de Solanum, je vais y aller en Français parce que c'est quand même complexe:
Le jeu utilise une des interprétation un peu fantastique (et erroné, mais le fun quand même) de la théorie quantique - pense au théorème du Chat de Schrodinger si tu le connais: un chat dans une boîte avec une petite capsule de poison qui a 50% de chance de se déclencher et de tuer le chat, selon les "théories quantique" le chat est donc à la fois vivant et mort, et seulement lorsque la boîte est ouverte et le chat observé que les deux réalités s'écrasent en une seule et que le chat devient soit entièrement mort, ou entièrement vivant. Tant qu'il n'est pas observé, tant qu'une réalité en particulier n'est pas concrétisé, le chat est à la fois vivant et mort en même temps.
Donc techniquement, tant que tu n'observe pas concrètement les éléments quantiques ils existent dans toutes les possibilités. La Quantum Moon ne "se déplace pas"... elle est déjà partout à la fois, elle est autant autours de Timber Heart qu'autour de Giant's Deep qu'autours de l'Eye of the Universe.
C'est un peu farfelu et le jeu simplifie ça pour le fun, mais le jeu explique que le fait d'être sur la lune (ou d'être physiquement debout un Quantum Shard) te rend quantique aussi [Rule of Quantum Entanglement], Solanum était donc comme la lune elle même: partout à la fois dans le système solaire, autant autours de l'Eye qu'autours de Timber Hearth ou Brittle Hollow, donc quand la Ghost Matter a été relâchée ça a tué toute les Solanum qui se trouvait sur les Quantum Moon à proximité autours des planète dans le système solaire, mais la Solanum qui était autours de l'Eye était trop loin et la Ghost Matter ne l'a jamais atteinte.
C'est pour ça que chaque fois que tu atterris sur la Quantum Moon, y'a une version morte de Solanum au pôle Sud. Bonus: Pour atteindre la Sixth Location depuis la Quantum Moon tu dois aller au nord, mais une fois que c'est fait tu remarquera tu dois marcher jusqu'au Sud à nouveau et c'est là que la Solanum vivante se trouve. Donc Solanum est toujours au Pôle Sud sur la Quantum Moon, mais 5 versions sont morte et 1 version est vivante.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed! pour Solanum, oui c'est ce que j'ai finis par comprendre a force d'y réfléchir un peu plus ahaha vraiment fascinant comme concept
This is more scary than any horror game I ever played, but it's sooo good 😭
It was so unnerving at times, but soooo rewarding to face my fear and go through with it!
I think it was a perfect way to enter a new year of your life :)
I've watched dozens of playthroughs, this is one of my favorites. Definitely looking forward to seeing you play echoes of the eye (if you ever decide to do that), and also any story based game you decide to pick up!
Wow, thank you so much, that's a huge compliment! Echoes of the Eye starts this friday! and many more story based games to come on the channel 😊
I don't know if it's my imagination, but I think I noticed more editing going on as the series progressed. That kind of stuff is also very much appreciated. I mentioned enjoying SovietWomble's work in a comment on a previous video, and that has so much charm because of the editing. It's a good angle to develop a brand. I can say with confidence that I'll watch one of SovietWomble's "Bullshittery" episodes on _any_ game, so that's something I could have mentioned before.
Hello Lukael! New viewer here. I very much enjoyed your playthrough - thank you for sharing it with us. For the DLC, I suggest don't turn on reduced frights until/unless you find you really need it. I turned it on and later wished I hadn't - Games like Outer Wilds are best experienced the way it was originally intended.
23:33 You've figured out everything except where the warp core is and what it does! I'm genuinely so excited for what the realisation will be like when you get there and figure it out in... THAT PLACE. I don't know why I'm still being coy about spoilers, you've finished months ago and anyone in these comments is so deep in spoiler territory that it wouldn't matter, but I'm just doing it.
Just gonna put my updates here: 32:15 "It's been here the whole time" - that's the beauty of this game, it's almost entirely knowledge-gated. You can beat the game in the first loop if you know what to do, that's how speedrunners do it. It's all been there the entire time.
51:05 It is genuinely amazing to me just how fast you accepted what taking the warp core would mean, decided to do it, and then went for it WITHOUT EVEN RESTARTING THE LOOP. I took it so seriously, I did a dry run first and I still screwed it up the first time because I was so nervous and I got a game over message.
57:26 Holy shit that was stressful. You have nerves of steel, man. I was so convinced you wouldn't realise you'd taken your spacesuit off. You clutched that so many times in a row!
"The future is yet to be written" is actually an incredible way to sum up this game, I think of it as being about having hope that you can make a new world even as the old is dying, which I feel is pretty relevant to where we are in history, which does feel like a turning point. It reminds me of the slightly poetically translated Gramsci quote: "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters."
I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to watch the end of a playthrough of this game without crying. Thanks for sharing this :)
Thank you for watching! your comments actually got me to rewatch this episode again, it had been a long time since I did! that was a really stressful recording session for me 🤣 probably never gonna go through something like that again, but man it was amazing. I'm glad you enjoyed re experiencing it with me!
Why does everyone forget how Quantum objects work when they get tot he end?
We're going through a lot
Glad that you enjoyed this game, and hope to see your playthrough of DLC. And after finishing it, maybe as many Outer WIlders, you too will start agitating all friends to play it and obviosly once in a while serach and watch others playthroughs . And yes, probe was yours ;;)
Already started recommending it to a few of them ahaha
Figures out ATP, which tower he needs... and then jumps to the planet instead of using the warp that literally would bring him back. *facepalm* Amazing. I can't wait to see DLC content XD
But seeing you not actually connecting dots as you read the wall... And still going through with it. And even making through the Bramble in one go... and by using the long way too... crazy. I hope once you start DLC you'll facepalm over the fact that you could've marked the Vessel on your HUD.
"Only once am I going to jump in there not knowing what's about to happen" he says. And you're right. Which is why you should've done DLC BEFORE grabbing the core. But alas.
And yet another player joins "I still don't understand Quantum Objects despite being to the Quantum Moon" club. The Eye is Quantum, so Flashlight and turning away still works.
Great reaction to Anglerfish by the way. I legit started backing away from it, before it caught up.
And this is it...
edit: Wish you'd talked to Riebeck when you returned from Quantum Moon.
You sure do love pointing out every single mistake I made on all my videos, huh 😛 Just hope you realize a lot of stuff that is super obvious in retrospect and after watching a bunch of playthroughs isn't so obvious when playing for the very first time, I'm sure it was the same for you! (and trust me, that goes double when you're also recording a Let's Play so you're even more distracted cause you have to comment on stuff, make sure your footage is OK, etc. !)
@@LukaelPlays I really enjoyed watching your experience. Thank you very much for sharing it with us =D
But yeah, if you're hiccuping suddenly it's because I'm screaming at the screen =D
I know it's like a while ago since you played it, but I'm like reliving it all, all over again. *sigh* I wish there was another game like that.
That nomai still have it in him! :) even being dead for thousands of years
Keep in mind, if their probe finds Eye of the Universe, it would send that information back in time to before the supernova and they would just turn sun station off
eh you'll be fine in the dlc. can't wait for those uploads to come.
Great playthrough mate. Looking forward to your playthrough of the DLC!
Great playthrough, thank you! Looking forward to the DLC playthrough.
Excellent playthrough, excited to watch the DLC
I really enjoyed your playthrough, thanks for sharing it! I will say I am a wimp about scary games and I was able to push through the DLC, so I believe in you! Though I'm not sure I could physically have done it without reduced frights. No shame 😄 Can't wait to see your next episode
Thank you! I saw you played through the DLC on your channel, I'll try to go back and watch your playthrough once I've gone through it myself!
May there be good friends, campfires and marshmallows in your lives! Greetings from Germany
What a fantastic playthrough! If you have the time, I highly recommend watching the documentary about this game by Noclip. It sheds some very interesting light on some things I never thought about while playing. Also, for a game suggestion; if you havnt played Subnautica, I think that’d be a very entertaining lets play to watch. Looking forward to seeing you play the DLC! ❤
18:00 - I hope you figured out later that you can mark the Vessel in your ship's computer and navigate directly to it without having to use Escape Pod 3 :)
Don't think I ever really used that until the DLC no lol
Q: Why did the statue only activated for me and not the others?
A :The statues were only supposed to activate in the event of either success or failure, so your statue (and gabbro's) activated when the 9.315..,yadayadayada probe found the eye, so its basically just pure chance that you were the one that paired with it (and gabbro on giant's deep)
you can ask me any of the unknowns i'd love to answer all your questions.. or you can watch videos from the Lore Explorer on youtube he probably does a much better job than me explaining some of the hidden details of this game
and one last thing, i implore you to watch the NOCLIP documentary on this game, it explains everything about the its development from its conception as a student project to where it is now.
many people have recommended the documentary so I'll try making time to watch it!
"I think it was pretty much perfect."
Yup.
When you experience perfection, and the mad men just improved it with the DLC
Maybe, The Journey? It's small and beauty adventure
You mean Journey from 2012? I've played it, and I totally agree! a really beautiful and wonderful game!
@@LukaelPlays yep, that game)
Maybe Gris then?
I love this whole part of the game. It feels very 2001: A Space Odyssey
Definitely!
The last anglerfish jump scare is pretty dang mean.
It really is D:
I think the statue linked with you because you "happened" to be looking at it exactly at 22 min to supernova.
i like when you pogged out of existence in the preroll
btw echoes is like literally just as good as the main game so in my opinion: horror is temporary, mystery is forever c:
