Weekly "What games are you playing?" #107: It is Wednesday my dudes :toadhype:

It is now Wednesday and @Ninjjer hasn't posted the weekly yet

https://media.tenor.com/caPSlaNr0T4AAAAx/adventure-time-death.webp

So anyways here's a gaming thread since I've posted them before. @Aevann please pin :marseybegging:

Also Ninjjer says he chooses weekly games mostly at random and is open to suggestions. I've been choosing them randomly too lol so feel free to share if anyone has a future suggestion.

Game to Discuss?

https://media.tenor.com/dXFkfHXP68QAAAAx/outer-wilds-slate.webp

This week we're discussing Outer Wilds, the @PeepeeButtKiss special. This game started as a college student's project and evolved into a full space puzzle game. It's like Myst in that it's a pure puzzle with knowledge on what you should be doing next being all you really need. It also has quite the plot twist at the end of your first in-game day :platysun2:

I just don't think it had anything profound to say and the emotional payoff at the end (which was supposed to be the reward for your harrowing space journey) completely fell flat for me.

Also it has a non-binary protagonist.

My favorite moment from the game wasn't figuring out the ending or Dark Bramble or anything like that. It was getting separated from my ship in space, running out of jetpack fuel and having to use my oxygen as fuel instead. I made it inside right before I ran out with almost perfect timing.

It's one of those crazy game moments that cannot occur intentionally.

those accidental moments or discoveries were some of the best parts. @PeepeeButtKiss discovered how too get inside the Ash Twin by total accident just exploring and seeking shelter from the Sand pillar and warping in, before @PeepeeButtKiss ever discovered the warp mechanic. was confused as heck lol there was tons of little moments like that @PeepeeButtKiss wont forget

First, thanks @PeepeeButtKiss for shilling this to me :marseythumbsup: I don't know how to talk about this game without sounding like a Redditor :soyjakwow: but it really is one of the most unique games I've ever played. It'll give you an existential crisis :ayno:

First, I appreciate that it's a pure puzzle. You don't need to grind anything or tackle the environment in a specific order. Everything in the game, even the DLC location if it's installed, is available as soon as you get the spaceship. The only obstacle to beating the game is your lack of knowledge. Like Myst, it can be "beaten" in seven minutes if you DO know what to do.

The game has an amazing story, and it's nothing like a standard jrpg or cinematic Sony title or anything that could otherwise be a book or movie. In the vein of Kojima's philosophy :marseypunished: the story only works and is only interesting because of the interactive medium. Slowly piecing together the puzzle, finding out what's "wrong" with your solar system and how to "end" it. It's true what the shills say, man. You can only experience it once.

https://media.tenor.com/2h4NXUXVVo0AAAAx/shocked-anime.webp

The game is kind of (in)famous for the realistic space physics. Normies are often filtered by having to cancel out their previous acceleration to not crash into their destination :marseymissile: The game has a computer that'll do it for you but it often takes normies directly into the sun :marseyburn: Gravity is also treated realistically so you can end up doomed to fall into the sun if you lose too much speed while nearby, or falling off a comet because you jumped too hard. But when you do master the spaceship it's a lot of fun to fly around and explore :marseysteerchingchong:

There isn't too much else to say without major spoilers, but yeah, truly a one of a kind puzzle game that few others measure up to. And with a simple yet meaningful story more thought provoking than any liberal arts major ever produced :marseytearfulsalute:

Heck yea @PeepeeButtKiss is glad you liked it, one of @PeepeeButtKiss's favorite games of all time and you summed it up perfectly, the game is unforgettable. @PeepeeButtKiss tried too get some buddies into it and they never really took too it cuz they're tards

Also @PeepeeButtKiss played it in the summer of 2020 as well which for other reasons and stuff @PeepeeButtKiss had going on was a really awesome summer so it'll always hold a special place in @PeepeeButtKiss's memory besides just for being an awesome game

Have you played the dlc? It's basically completely separate from the base game, so you don't lose out on anything by having beaten the game already.

I liked it until you go into the Dark Bramble or whatever the anglerfish planet was called. It going from comfy puzzle game to actually having challenge outside of puzzle solving made me feel bad.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Yeah I disagreed with the fish being there :carpreal: because it goes against how the rest of the game works.

I have a similar problem with the dlc though I still liked every other part of it.

I still give it a 10/10 because the rest of the game shines so brightly.

Heh heh, shines so brightly :pepohehe:

I left dark bramble for last when I originally played and up until that point the only thing that could kill me i'd found was my own mistakes with flying, gravity etc. This lulled me into a completely false sense of security for the majority of the game then suddenly there's an actual monster i'm supposed to avoid. At first I was kinda annoyed but came to grips with it fairly easily anyways.

Overall still one of my favorite 10/10 games. Once I understand how the game's quantum mechanics lesson worked with observable objects I felt true :#marseybigbrain:

This project got money when a financier reached out to the team after they won some developer awards. Then they did a fundraising thing that gave ownership to donators. It eventually got even more funding when Annapurna (RIP) agreed to publish the game, buying out the rights from the first donators. IIRC the original financier was some actor who just wanted to open a game studio. He has most definitely made his money back and then some. Kind of a crazy story, but the game still turned out really good.
