thanks so much Eelis for this. It was a frustrating experience but I genuinely appreciate you taking time out to make this supercut. The music is deeply emotional for me and connects me super deeply with my father, so I felt it was extremely important to me to finish it despite absolutely sucking :D the journey was in fact worth it. Thanks for this.
I have seen maybe 15 different playthroughs of this game, and yours was definitely the most unique to me. Like many of your videos it's shown me a completely different view of things i love, and i thank you deeply for that ::)
I think that everyone who has played Outer Wilds can agree with this statement: Failing is part of the process. As long as you try, you are succeeding. I guess that's part of the reason why I loved the game so much - it doesn't punish you for failure. Any failure you feel is entirely self-fabricated. Once you can reconcile that, you have all the time in the world. In that way, it must be truly weird to have to stream this game, since you feel that pressure from the audience to finish as fast as possible (I would argue such an issue is more the fault of the audience in that they have the wrong expectations going into this game). I'm sorry that you felt you needed to complete this game while not at your own pace. I would have recommended watching any of the lovely videos on this channel instead of putting that stress on yourself, but I cannot change the past. I wish you the best, Marco.
I've never seen someone solve so many puzzles then just ignore what they learned in them? he didn't figure out the black hole experiment, he didn't figure out angler fish. i think this run is the definition of falling up lmao, no hate just really bizarre. he really seems to view death as failure which it simply isn't in this game edit he did figure out quantum imaging, i just wrote this the second before that
@@pabloeskybar4602 all streamed runs are so horrible to watch as they try to keep it 'entertaining through the boring parts' (introspective moments) by ignoring everything they just went through and going immediately to the next thing - ask chat what to i gotta do?? - then get to the ending and be entirely mystified as to why people like the game. outerwilds is designed so that, when you reach the end, you have a solid understanding of how the internal parts work and the messages the game portrays !!! this is broken up by streaming when failure is actually punished by 'setting back progress' and then they just get chat to solve the puzzles for them also playing through the entire game in like 2 sittings really doesn't give u any time to think.... thinking about the game all the time is half the reason why its so goated...
Thank you! It's wonderful to see different people's experience with the game. It's really interesting to see what lenses people view the universe through, some people find emotional significance in the stories of each Nomai, some stand in awe at the accuracy of the physics, some at the technical aspects of the game design. Some come back for the philosophy, others for the nostalgia, and some come back for the music. Thanks for providing a meaningful way for us to connect through these experiences, I hope you are counting these towards community service hours ;:)
1:23:00 No way he teleports out of the vessel to the eye right as the supernova is happening. I think that's the first time I've seen someone experience that timing.
I think the reason why he struggled with this game so much is that he viewed death as a failure condition rather than as just a part of the game, as if each death was some sort of punishment for his failure or something when in reality death is just inevitable in the game and you just try again on the next loop And on top of that, he seemed to treat all the information as if it were optional flavour text rather than thoroughly reading and understanding what was being said Almost no text in the game is unimportant
We really can't thank you enough for making these Outer Wilds Supercuts! There was another RU-vidr that started playing the game but as far as I know has never finished it... Oxhorn. I think he mentioned how he hated feeling interrupted by the supernova while trying to read texts... While I can understand where he came from with his opinion, it's still disappointing... We can be fans of Outer Wilds all we want but we gotta understand that this game is not for everyone.
I stopped my first playthrough of the game because of my frustrating experience with the anglerfish. I think it should really have been hinted at more that it's the sound of the thrusters that attracts the anglerfish. It took someone else to start playing the game to get me back into it, and man am I glad that I finished the game. It's such a wonderful experience unlike any other game that I know of... a true journey of mystery and discovery, of revelation and tragedy. No other game has made me so emotional, I found myself in the same sort of contemplative mood as Marco here, needing to digest that whole experience before I could really form an opinion of the game
After watching this, I wonder what MacroMeatball actually got out of the game. In his closing statements, he described it as "big and beautiful and complex," but didn't actually mention anything that happened in the story. He said it changed the way he views video games, but didn't say how or why.
i take my time with games now. To "smell the roses" as it were. I didn't feel much about the story itself and still retain the contemplation that this is a greater statement towards our impermanence and what it means to love. My experience with the music has been and continues to be far more impactful than the actual game experience. that said you can find my full thoughts here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ztXMwckH2Rg.html
eelis i really appreciate your work like seriously. your choice of clips and cuts is near perfect for the length you're going for and you do it so consistently in both quality and pace. its impressive and dedicated and idk about anyone else but i sincerely appreciate it and wish i could subscribe twice
You should make a supercut of Atrioc's playthrough! I think he played it in a very unique way (he flew into the sun for 4 hours, trying to land on the sun station, if that tells you anything about the way he plays games :)) like I said, a unique playthrough
I love these videos so much. looking forward to atriocs, I couldn't catch all of his streams but the ones I saw were some of the most fun (and agrivating) streams ive seen ever
This is rhe first time I've seen someone turn off their flashlight to make the fake anglerfish jumpscare disappear. I never knew that was a thing, even though it makes sense.
It's not that he wasn't smart, it was more that he was so busy to trying to "beat" the game, that he never really stopped to learn any of the things the game was trying to teach him.
@@Nikolai0169 OMG yes this triggers me so much everytime... Most players just ignore 'UNIDENTIFIED SIGNAL NEARBY' the whole time and wonder where to go and what to do. Also, the scout hast a photomode! You dont have to shot the scout everytime... 😭
i actually never noticed the orbits stop LOL.. does the game freeze at the initial state to prevent the sun from exploding while ur on the way there? i thought it just reset to the initial state but kept physics going so u had 22 minutes to do it..
Physics kerps going, orbits keep spinning, and the sun still explodes. I think being past Dark Bramble made it seem like everything stood still because the outer planets orbit much slower than we're used to, and the final loop has you running so much more intensely than everything seems to slow down even more.
havent watched the supercut, but i did see the original. seeing he banned people in his chat because he just couldnt stop reading it after he said he wasnt going to read chat did make his playthrough worse than others to watch.
I really like to read chat. But chat can't seem to help themselves in NOT spoiling a game. Also, I read chat when I would die, as a check in. It's very sad because i adore involving myself with folks that come in but this game in particular was heinously bad with backseating. Major bummer.
