“I like it when puzzle games tell you something - you just have to listen” - dude who is 100% not listening
Game: The things are screaming cos they’re dying after the dam breaks.
Professional gamedev and QA tester: no they’re screaming cos they’re attacking me.
It’s unfortunate he found all three glitches before the story honestly but hey it was entertaining nonetheless.
@@sleepycritical6950 3:28:40 Nah, the tower didn't fall over. One of those paintings is alive.
Outer Wilds enthusiasts beware. This playthrough isn't for the faint of heart. Hidden Gorge, you didn't deserve to be disrespected so
Nah that's wild, I've never seen so many "more to explore" at the end of a game
As a fan and not enthusiast, is this comment insinuating that he just solved the puzzles on his own and was skipping important secrets???
@@mxrc3604 Yes. he kinda falls into a few solutions
What the hell did I just watch? This was a speed run, right? Right...? 💀
@@TheRealSpuffabsolutely insane that 70% of the dlc was skipped lol
The Feldspar of playthroughs
bro he didn't even saw feldspar in the basic playthrough (exept at the end when everyone is aroud the fire)
@@dinopower941 that's very feldspar of him ;)
i hate that you're right x)@@hoodwalker6491
@@dinopower941Because he is him. Have you seen them both at the same place at the same time (time loop shenanigans do not count)? :)
@@EscHarmony every respond to my message make me believe this more and more
Thor is the one person who could have a second playthrough of Outer Wilds and have a whole different experience lol
I am also this person I can watch a tutorial and somehow fuck it up but somehow end up with a similar end result
That is actually true 😂
Finding the mechanics out by accident shortcut a lot of the experience of the game. The finding all of these things the way it was intended adds a lot more context to the lore.
yes he got the canon ending after 4.5h and only exlored like 40% of the DLC..
and we love him for it
the guy was obviously reading spoilers from chat.
4:49:15 Thor: "What even is there left"
*The entire rumour map is question marks*
he hasnt been to the orbital canon once...
@@Illuminati_HD same with sun station lol
This video really show EITHER "Every one's playthrough of outer wilds is different" or "Thor is an insane man with a completely warped view of the universe". Watching him fail to grasp that he had to go to the deep space satellite when it's at the angle in the photo, but then solve half the puzzles inside with nothing but intuition is nothing short of a fever dream
"It's under the sun" Somehow I still think he understands that there's no 'down' in space, but I definitely have doubts...
As I write this comment I'm still less than half an hour into the video, and I'm feeling the pain. Still I look forward to Thor's playthrough of this
@@-Infex-”under the sun” is just a verbal shortcut for “below the plane or the solar system.”
@@nlald there is still no "below". Even if he meant "perpendicular to the orbital disk" that would still be "above or below", or "under or over" because he had no context to which side of the sun it was on, because it's space.
@@-Infex-using the right-hand rule you can assign "above" and "below" to correspond with the positive and negative directions of the angular momentum vector of the rotating body, so the northern hemisphere for earth is "Above" it.
Oh boy I can’t wait to see him explore my favorite 30% of the DLC, the Entirety of the Hidden Gorge
for real xD
is it even 30? that's a high estimate
@@hoodwalker6491 he probably has more of the DLC to explore tbh. Hidden gorge (and its reel room), the hidden reels in the stranger itself, the artefact test area.
Well made comment.
Well, it's named the _Hidden_ Gorge for a reason now.
After watching him unlock the first two locks, I literally said aloud "well, at least he has no reason to jump off the boat between load areas, he'll have to go back to the real world for _something_"
Nope.
"What even is there left" Thor said while having almost half of the stranger unexplored.
If I'm correct, he's never been to the Sun Station either lol
@@GasparGaDid he make it to the high energy lab? I don't think he did. I really like to see if people can figure out how to make the paradox. Streamer brain.
@@HarryS77 I think he did go to the high energy lab but he didn't break reality. He didn't really spend much time there I don't think.
If I'm correct he hasn't even been on the Orbital probe cannon, didn't find Feldspar's Camp too, didn't explore the sand city
There is no fucking way he found all three "bugs" by accident
More than that look how he learned how to sleep at a bonfire
Didn't he literally work in QA?
He's a game designer; he understands how things work. Except for the marshmallow death, that one was pure luck. :D
@@OzoneGrif Eh, I also did that when I played through it. I think it was partly set up to have people roast themselves, and then discover it.
@@Daiwie44 The game does teach you about both methods of entering the simulation.
It's just entirely possible to skip both.
Towards the end, he says, "I don't feel like that solved the whole puzzle."
Damn shame he didn't get the full experience and the satisfaction from exploring all the lore and tid bits.
Sounds like a him problem. That's kind of the effect someone would feel when they skip like 50% of the story and puzzles...
@@ChocomunchieI want to disagree but you have a point
he did it in one sitting. pipe down bud
@@thechatter7102 pipe down bud when you said absolutely nothing of any import. he was pointing out that thor skipped through loads of content. that is objective fact. stop acting condescending for literally no reason. you haven't earned it, and it would be a douchey thing to do even if you had.
@@thechatter7102 and subsequently ruined the experience for himself
One Eye sent a signal, wanting to be discovered.
Two Eyes got scared by its vision, sealed it away.
Three Eyes got teased, pushed the bounds of space and time to find it.
Four Eyes got curious, and at the end of the universe, were here to look and embrace it.
Not to mention that Two Eyes seal is nowhere to be found when Three Eyes and Four Eyes explor this system and when Four Eyes reaches the Eye itself.
@@elementoflight6834 No, it's visible at the one eye, if you look closely enough.
@@stevekrueger5670 Oh cool, i did not know that, thanks for that info!
@@stevekrueger5670 what are you two referring to? I played both games for much longer than he did and don't quite understand what you both mean by seals. That said I find the concept poetic and never thought about the number of eyes we had. Especially since base game didnt have a 2 eyed creature to bridge the gap.
Also side question how did you feel about the sneaky bits? I found them a bit too frustrating but admit it could have been a skill issue but the fact that I had to draw the enemy away from my objective and then navigate in basically darkness was too much for me. It would be fine if I KNEW my goal was on the other side but I wasn't sure of anything and spent a long time considering if they wanted me to go there it would't be such a gauntlet with no confirmed goal
@@miketothe2ndpwr The seal they are talking about is the signal blocking device the Owlks sent to the eye of the universe and still stopping the signal with no way to turn it off since they busted the control panel. It is small but glowing green so zoom with your signalscope to get a better look. You also see the vessel in the sky once you have warped down to the surface and I believe you are also able to sometimes see the quantum moon.
Yeah the sneaky bits easily get frustrating, that is a fairly common feeling. I believe they have patched it a bit since release to make navigating it easier, but still can probably be frustrating if you get stuck in those parts. Though if you know the glitches you are able to bypass them super easily. Makes it a lot more manageable to achievement grind. However first time would require you to discover the glitches on your own if you want the easy access, since the glitch to access an archive is discovered in the archive.
I've never seen a man so unwilling to engage with anything a game is telling him in my entire life XD
Game: Here's several clues telling you to go through a cave, turn off the lights, and open the door.
Thor: No.
I saw a vídeo of the developers saying that they designed the bugs in a way people could not find all of them and if they found one that would not matter to the progresion of the dlc but this man found the three of them
What are the bugs?
@@MenNeedHelp1I think one of them is him dying and not hearing things, unless that’s intended, in which case I have no clue how you figure that out beyond the reel in the film room that he used his “death” to get past.
@@blitzboy2934 One is dying, one is jumping out of the boat mid travel and one is getting far from the lamp
@@virgurilla4084 pretty darn sure getting far from the lamp is not a bug?
@@GeorgeTsiros
Not a bug of the Game but the dreamworld.
Bug 1: graphics break far from artifact.
Bug 2: Leaving boot while "loading" gets you out of bounds.
Bug 3: Sentry cant disconect dead users.
None of these were intended by the designers of the dream world (the people who build the station)
"One of the things I love about puzzle games, is they try and teach you the mechanics. A lot of times people just don't listen." proceeds to brute force all the puzzles by messing around until things work out somehow, even if he doesn't know why.... the way you made it to the first archive was an absolute crime and I'm equal parts mad and impressed about it
Man it really pulls my locomotive arm how he never talked to each character at the end before the big bang. Even the first time he experienced the ending. Also, its wild how he accidentally found all of the answers in the dlc. He basically skipped 70% of it, but that truly is the beauty of it. It's a unique experience for everyone. Great playthrough, for any fan of the franchise, they'd have to see this to believe it. Please watch a compilation of all the reels.
It also made me kinda mad, but at the end of the day, it's his unique journey. He took everything really fast while others (like a friend of mine) are taking their sweet time completing everything. Both are respectable ways to do, it just shows how really outer wilds has something for everyone
Thanks for letting me know - I think I will skip this playthrough then. I found that sort of thing really frustrating in the main game - he didn't find several key locations in the game, didn't talk to everyone, etc. He did a speedrun of the game that really deserved better and had to be experienced. The journey is a huuge part of the game and if you go too fast you miss things.
@@elimgarak1617 my man, if you think the main game was bad, stay the F away from this one😂. I ve watched enough playthrough to feel comfortable with people missing things but that .. was on another level. He "finished" the game and he still doesn't understand half of it
He was literally skipping dialogue at the ending of the base game.
@@Undy1 well, it was HIS playthrough, HIS journey, if you may. We're here just to observe
This is such a great game,
I sure hope he plays it some day
You can't say Thor played Echoes of the Eye. Because that would imply he either was challenged by it, or experienced a significant portion of it. What verb to use instead? Thor dissected EotE? Thor demolished EotE? Thor schooled EotE?
I think that since he knows game design so well, he was effectively reading the developers' minds.
@@FadkinsDiet Either that, or he read rogue spoilers in chat, and pretended he didn't, testing them out himself and skipping half of what the game has to offer. He barely played this game. "Dissected" would imply he cared to find everything, all ins and outs, but he barely used the Ship Log to its fullest to know what he missed (and he missed a lot).
@@FadkinsDiet He is a hacker, he hacked it
The funniest part of it all was that he, a gamedev, was so convinced that it was a pocket dimension of some sort, never once noticing the glitches were very much like a virtual reality game or the matrix like texture when he left the rendering area of his lantern.
@@sleepycritical6950I can’t tell what’s funnier: the fact that he did all that without finding out about the story, or the fact that he probably never will figure out the story
2:06:54 "Time is moving forward. shit."
-me every morning before I get up for work.
Sticking a burning marshmellow into the artifact to try and light it is hilarious and i would totally agree that it should light the artifact if it wasnt for the fact that i wont say more hahaha
The man said "it's a game you can only play once" and then proceeds to not experience 70% of it
Right? He could totally replay it and have a totally new experience, if he actually tried to find everything next time. ffs
This was the most absurd playthrough of the dlc I have ever seen. Folks who didn't watch the vod are in for a treat.
Absurd as in funny or absurd as in “man how is this guy not figuring anything out”
@@bestusername1074 absurd as in,how the fuck did you solve that?? He finds skips through unintended ways without ever realizing
ikr? The path this man takes through the DLC is hilarious!
@@bestusername1074 He basically didn't play the game. It was like he used speedrun strats and thought that was the intended way.
Agree... Wowee. Just finished the vod
I just realized you managed to play the horror dlc without touching any horror hahaha
The sudden horror bit when collecting the Prisoner's instrument at the Eye must have seemed like a total non sequitur to him.
I think he had the "Reduced Frights" mode on. There are a lot of areas he waltzed through that usually have a patrol... unless they patched out the patrols since launch
@@joelkuhn9880 No, he accidentally discovered all of the skips, so there were no patrols because they were never alerted.
@@joelkuhn9880 reduced frights doesmt actual reduce the quantity of anything. It just makes the scary parts easier by not having jump scares and the like
wait what skips are there then to prevent patrols? thought there were always patrols@@DarwinAwardWinner
I love how you can clearly see the thing at 33:50 and he doesn't even notice it. XD
I just saw this and I was losing my mind
Lol, i was looking at the saterlite and missed it as well 😂😂😂
Imagine if he had seen it, he literally would have skipped 90% of the clues the game provides for how to solve the puzzles.
Ive seen a few playthroughs accidentally see it, even a few accidentally crash into it and either don't notice it or when they hit it are so dumbfounded they back away not realizing it'll disappear from sight again xD I think I've seen one person find it on accident and actually go in and realize with the size that it must be the DLC and saved the rest for later. lol
That was the first thing I noticed when he killed the satellite, as oh ya there it is, but since he is worried about killing the satellite he didn't notice.. oh well.
Never knew how disjointed a playthrough could get if you learn how to use the fire with the artifact early, quite sad honestly but it is what it is.
I think it's pretty normal overall to find that early, but you are still pretty locked in progress regardless.
The crazy part is he found all 3 'bugs' in the dream by himself, that's what really broke the flow of the game
@@chocomilkplz QA tester I guess!
I love how many times he made guesses that were simultaneously correct and incorrect. First time dying on the fire: “Is that a bug?” No, but also yes? You’re right, but you’re wrong about why you’re right.
As much as im impressed by the way you discovered all the mechanics by accident, im sad you didn't have to follow the storyline and unravel it little by little. This dlc is so well made and it is worth every second you spend in it. I mean, just the way you can see the river path by looking up as a way to give clues while maintaining the weirdness and vivid design is beyond amazing to me.
This is probably the worst I've ever seen Outer Wilds played, in the DLC _and_ the base game. I'm convinced he was reading spoilers in chat and testing them out, and pretending they were his ideas. After all, if he figured them out the real way, he'd be there all day. Whatever quickens the stream for him, eh? And even if I'm jumping to conclusions and he legitimately figured all that stuff out on his own (without the proper knowledge in-game), he almost treats the game as a puzzle to be solved, rather than a story to discover, and it's honestly so disheartening to see, with such a beautiful game like this. He skipped like 50% of the entire game, as well as the DLC, and didn't bother to clear up the Ship Log constantly telling him "there's more to explore here". It made me feel like he didn't really care. Just another game to beat for him.
@@Chocomunchiehe clearly enjoyed the game? It also kind of comes off as more of an exploration puzzle game than a story game when you’re starting out since most of the story is built around solving those puzzles and piecing together the story that they unlock. Also, his stream of the main game was 12 hours straight! Why would he keep playing if he didn’t like it?
@@Chocomunchie To me Outer Wilds is a personal experience and so everyone has different experiences with the game, I get it not getting everything because I made sure I could get as much as possible out of it but thinking it as wrong not to explore everything is really seeing it more as just a game rather than a personal experience of a game.
and he clearly enjoyed the game,
@@Chocomunchie "Waah this guy didn't enjoy the game the same way i did waah"
Grow up.
He worked years in QA. If anyone is going to brute force things and figure out how to do shit he's "not supposed to" to help him, it's going to be him.
I would've done almost exactly as he did. One of my first thoughts was to jump off the boat in the darkness, the very first time he went through it. I also promptly wondered what would happen if he left the Artefact behind, and I had a suspicion that re-playing the game's end would have a unique result after the final interaction.. and I don't have the benefits of seeing chat or having played the game before.
Just because he did it in a weird way, doesn't mean he was cheating or speedrunning it or whatever nonsense you're assuming.
@@Perseus7567 I don't doubt this was natural, but it's still sad he missed out on the whole narrative.
"It's rare to have a game you can only play once" - Man who missed 80% of the base game and DLC
I mean when chat gives you all the answers and you pretend not to notice..
@@paintedlantern7248 you must be a very sad dude, leaving the same comment under a few of these. Why are you even here then?
@@paintedlantern7248just because you get the answers to a puzzle doesn’t take away from everything around the answers to the puzzle. The story and experience of finding the answer is still there.
@@AgentTexes That's a funny joke
@@matheff71 Your opinion of my mental state does not make me incorrect. Thank you for your observation
Every outer wilds fan that watched this was probably upset about how muched he missed. I was too fs but at the end when he said "hope i can make a masterpiece like this someday" i was like damn. He can miss so many of the best lore and emotional bits from this game but still call it a brilliant masterpiece really shows how special this game is. Idk how long itll be until something as great as this game comes but i look forward to it and im also looking forward to seeing thors future projects. The future of the game industry might look bleak but there will always be passionate mfs that actually wanna make something special. The outher wilds devs did it, thor has done it, and countless more. Cant wait for all the future bangers to come
RIP Hidden Gorge, you will be remembered…. By us. Thor, you were too good at experimenting, good for you!
The hidden gorge is truly hidden now!!!
I'm genuinely impressed by Thors deductive abilities and fascinated by his approach to figuring out this game. Since he's a game developer he usually searches for mechanical explanations of what's going on rather than lore explanations- which is atypical among Outer Wilds players.
There is only one game i truly wish i could wipe my memory of and play anew, and thats outer wilds. A one of a kind gem that will never be bested.
There are plenty for me, but Outer Wilds is top of the list for sure.
Thor is the only person who could replay Outer Wilds and get a new experience lmao
I'd never actually seen the painting he made of the Eye sprouting out of the skull as a flower, thats really pretty and fits well with the vision he saw.
It was added later after the release of the DLC apparently.
Please do another stream finishing the ship log and the fun achievements, it's very good.
*cries in Tubular*
When you accidentally speed run the puzzle game 😂
The talking to chat / hints. Removed a lot of the mystery and discovery. Bypassing many puzzles with brute force. Making a lot of the content irrelevant to go discover. All of the purpose and answers are in the content, but even a small quote/satirical comment/reverse psychology in chat defeats the real satisfaction of the game.
@@conseniawith the original game, he played it the same way and said he hasn’t been reading chat
@@consenia he said he only reads the regulars in chat (probably because they're less likely to spoil). I think part of it boils down to because he never got Gabbro's meditation mechanic
@@conseniathe man is a puzzle solving machine. Just read the logs of getting his black badges and you'll realize he's just a bloodhound for _solving the problem_
The problem is getting to the end. He's been given a mechanic that dieing isn't the end, so he deliberately tries to find edge cases and odd ways of doing it both for QC giggles, and puzzle solving.
Jumping off the boat is the perfect example. Most people don't just do that for giggles and he did it entirely unprovoked
He's not trying to explore every detail. Of the problem and make a multiple series
This is the most ANY% first playthrough I've seen of this game 🤯
1:35:46 - The most perfectly timed “What?!?” ever in a game that’s a miraculously continuous string of “What?!?” moments.
Please do another stream where you finish exploring the solar system and the stranger. There's so much stuff you missed!
I need this
The way he stumbled through everything, my god
"There has to be a better way."
*Does not go looking for the better way, and continues to waste his time.*
i can't believe Thor managed to learn all the rules of the dream world without actually finding the reels. Hell he figured it out so efficiently he didnt GO to an entire area that teaches you one of the lock rules.
Insane man.
Fun fact you can actually see the probe the owlpeople sent to block signal orbiting the eye when you arrive on the ship
Outer Wilds is a game that is one in a million for me. It will very likely remain my favorite video game to date. It was a confusing start for me. It was bought by a friend for me that couldn't stop telling me how good it was and insisted he watch me play anytime I wanted to. My first time playing I was confused. I didn't know why he wouldn't shut up about. The beginning didn't grasp me immediately. After my first time playing, I got to the point right before you first take off then stopped. "Maybe I'll come back to it later. It hasn't grabbed me yet." "That's fine. It did that to me too my first time."
Two weeks later I told him I'd play again so I hopped on, streamed the game over discord and played for a good two hours or so. And then proceeded to play every other day for the next two weeks or less until I completed the game. I say unfortunately because once it was over I found myself wanting to play again but that's the curse of this game. You can only play it once. Once you know everything you need to know, you can't really experience it again yourself. I never thought I'd say this about a video game, but this game changed how I think about life. Feeling insignificant, unimportant, alone, scared of what will happen at the end, etc, etc. It was all set at ease. The Universe Is, and we are. I know it sounds silly but it legitimately changed how I look at things. Even if I need reminding every now and then...
I love this game and I'll never be able to play it again and experience it the same way. I'll never be able to read a bit of text and gain NEW knowledge. I already know it. I've never be able to make a new discovery in the game, get that feeling of being "enlightened" for lack of a better word. So now, the only way I get to experience it again for the first time is through the eyes of someone else playing it and making those discoveries for themselves. It's the curse of someone who plays Outer Wilds. For Outer Wilds, A Playthrough should be something that only those who have played the game and completed it for themselves should watch because once you know everything, you can't go back. So thank you for playing this and allowing me to experience it for myself for the first time (again) through your eyes.
Side notes,....Boy, you really yeeted yourself through this game didn't you? LOL Pretty much skipped 60% of the lore, the puzzle teachings, the experience of being on edge as you sneak your way around the different entry locations. There's so much there that was left unexperienced. I'm glad you had a good time but if I could offer anything, I would say, please go back and try to complete your ship log. It's worth it. :)
Man, I know, it’s such a beautiful game. No one told me about the game, I stumbled on it with the Xbox Game Pass.
I installed it and explored the timber hearth town. I immediately uninstalled as the game felt boring and low-budget.
I reinstalled it cause I was bored. I quickly realized how beautiful it was.
he hasnt even gone to the sun station. oml...
I've never seen someone actually STALK an Elk and not have the consequence of being found due to a well-timed Dam burst
There's a playthrough by a streamer called Symbalily where the first time she encounters an Owlk, it approaches her and just as it starts charging, the flame is drowned and the Owlk dies! It could not have been timed better!
@@tokyodove I remember that! Such a great playthrough and Such a lovely person!
God he really does play it like a Pentester would. This is a crazy playthrough.
All i can ever hope for is to be able to re-experience outer wilds (and its flawless DLC) vicariously through others going through it. After watching this stream, i can confirm that absolutely NONE (zip, nada, etc.) of those needs got met 😂 I'm glad he had fun though!
I just had to watch this whilst playing a game… it was too painful to devote all my attention to
"No the tower didn't fall over. The paintings alive."
It's always amazing to see how others decipher those puzzles and your playthrough has to be the unique one yet x3 I was there live and was flabbergasted like the whole chat when you found something just by fumbling around haha, the QA type of problem solving x3 So fricking funny dude
You know, it’s a lot more fun when I’m not the one being frightened half to death in the dark.
Hey, I wanted to say thank you, you inspired me to start making my own game. I’ve wanted to do it for the longest time and your constant shorts on “just do it, it won’t make itself” finally pushed me into the territory, I’m very thankful
You should try to fill out the full exploration webmap, you missed so much in this run and especially the original one...
That clean acoustic within the first two minutes. Completely ethereal. Felt like I was on a journey through the stars.
the music across this entire game is just a masterpiece. throw it on sometime during a long drive and have a great time :)
8 minutes in. Poking the digital fire with the digital stick. Truly one of the moments of all time. Gamer

You guys won’t believe what happened in the stream
Most unexpected play through possible
There was indeed no way I could have predicted that many sequence breaks. What gets me is that for the most part he didn't even do it on purpose. It was like a kid with ADHD accidentally stumbling on the secret cult in Toys"R"Us, unknowing leaving with game a week before its release date, and finding an unopened card pack someone dropped outside.
BREAKING NEWS: Gamer games so hard he missed the plot
This playthrough is infuriating for a player who did it the intended way.
Good old technically correct "I am looking at the ground" but still can't drop items because he doesn't look directly down Thor.
I really appreciate seeing your videos. You give me so much positive energy to do the things I want to do but didn't realize I needed a push for. Now I'm learning the drums 😎 and I probably would have found the drive to without seeing your little tid bits about just doing instead of thinking about doing. So thank you.
While your play through of OW and DLC was highly entertaining, I feel like you saw about 2/3 of what the base game had to offer and less than 1/2 of what the DLC contains. It’s good that they gave a recap of all the stuff you’re supposed to piece together at the end, but there were some really great reveals that you just completely missed. Someone will start talking about having to go outside of the station to solve a puzzle and you’ll be like whaaa? Or how it felt to piece together solutions from the info that is revealed to you, the very feeling you are chasing, undone by your own hands. Either way, it’s good you enjoyed it all :)
Wow, How you discovered the 3 end solutions without the clues is both amazing and sad at the same time. You missed out on so much exploration. I think your Game Dev mind makes you too smart for this game haha. Not a bad thing, its been cool watching your thought process both through the base game and the DLC. Congrats!

I cant believe he figured out all the mechanics by accident instead of looking at the memories and films everywhere lol, that's crazy
Not by accident. By apply8ng the principles of Software Quality Assurance. He tests for bugs in his day job as a matter of survival. Why wouldn't he do it in the game, too. Not his fault that leads to an instant win.
@@FadkinsDiet Dying on the fire to reboot the loop and accidently getting in the virtual world is an accident dude.
Sleeping at the green flame to speed time cause he was bored and waking up in the virtual world is an accident.
I'll concede jumping in the loading zone and leaving the lantern behind weren't accident, but you're still an ass
@@FadkinsDiet orrrrrrrrrrrrrr
He simply read chat, which is FILLED WITH SPOILERS.
You boys are smart :)
"I feel like I should be using a boat, instead of...my body" spit out my drink lol
Game devs create a world for players to explore. they put invisible walls for the players to see the entire world. Outer Wilds has no invisible walls just illusions of them. Pirate Software playthrough shows that the illusions don't always work. He ends up enjoying the 30 % of the game he saw not even experiencing the 70%. You cant do that in most other games. And that's why Outer Wilds is so special.
Absolutely amazing. I’m glad you enjoyed this so much!
i remember near the beginning of this thinking "oh, he's found the sim. well, he's gotta explore the stranger a bit at least."
...
then i scrubbed thru the video and literally didn't see a single bit of exploration of the stranger.
kinda sad i wish he didn't skip like most the DLC
I'm glad Thor enjoyed this game so much and I really enjoyed watching ALL of the base game VOD. However, I don't think I'm going to make it through this one. As a completionist and somebody who loved the satisfaction of unraveling the game piece by piece, it's kind of like nails on a chalkboard watching Thor just fall into solutions for puzzles without taking in the story or even finding the well-hidden clues for the mechanics and what they mean. There were literally times where I was saying "please don't just randomly discover X..." only for him to randomly discover it immediately after. It's probably some combination of his history of QA and game dev, trying things to break them, and also the pressure of being a streamer and churning through the content as fast as possible to entertain the watchers. Not saying that everybody should play a game the "intended" way - play it how you want, and enjoy it! But it's not fun for me to watch it like this.
This game has the most unreal set pieces, honestly unlike anything I’ve ever seen, transitions between worlds are seamless and although technically are loading screens they act in a way immerses you further, truly unreal game, we need more like this
theres no transitions between worlds, its all loaded permanently
@@Guzzlerinosyou think the entire game is loaded permanently?😂
@@vFly not only is the whole system loaded permanently, but it's even an accurate physics simulation with every planet's gravity acting on every physics body in the system at (almost) all times. You can put the probe, player, and ship in three separate locations on opposite sides of the system and all three will experience all of the local time loop effects (geysers, cyclones, sand, lava meteors, etc). When you sleep, the game is still running the full simulation at hyper speed to speed up time. Even dark brambles rooms are permanently loaded, they're just invisible rooms above the solar system that you get teleported to when you enter the corresponding seed. Theres a "devs react" stream where the devs talk about the reason they built it that way, and the difficulties it caused, but it really is a rare example of a game without any loading screens at all.
I'm surprised on how smart and curious thor is, he's picking things up that took me hours to realize, that artifact render bubble at 2:36:49 was like end game to me, and he figured it out early game just by being curious on what happens if you get away from it, his intuition is truly god like
well this was deeply unsatisfying..
You guys remember back in math classes, when you would use the wrong formula and end up with the right answer?
this feels like that
2:37:40
I was wondering what would happen when your lantern went through the transition.
Turns out it just straight-up gets deleted and you get kicked out.
the first time i played echos of the eye i played it in VR. it was amazing. especially that initial opening scene when it shows the entire ring world, that was absolutely stunning in VR.
This is the longest video I've watched in one sitting and i am glad i did
33:50 AAAAAAAAA THOR YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE STRANGER ON THE SCREEN
You know he has the mind of a game dev when he discovers all the important mechanics by just going "What happens if I…?"
1:30 Nostalgia alert!
47:53 There it is!
56:36 Rick and Morty reference!
1:00:56 Uhhhhh!!
1:10:00 Confused gamer noises.
1:35:10 Failure to give up.
2:01:45 Ahh, scary hands!
2:36:35 He's got the whoooole world, in his hands.
3:00:40 The Stay Crispy marshmallow man fully commits!
4:02:30 First meeting does not go as planned.
4:38:00 The ultimate prize. Why is Thor so frightened?
5:25:20 He's in denial.
5:40:20 Hello darkness my old friend. I've come to sneak by you again.
WILD playthrough. While this was probably the quickest and craziest DLC run, it would've also been cool for you to see everything and get the full story and context. My guy just speed ran the dlc without even trying. lol
Dang, kinda wish I could have finished the DLC without discovering Endless Canyon 😂
I’ve been waiting for this 🥹
"I don't think there's anything else that exists like this game. It is phenomenal, a masterpiece, and maybe one day I'll make something as good as this".
The amount of respect this deserves is hard to express.
The fact you saw the dam break AND the tower falling in the first loop is lucky. Best playthrough I have ever seen of this dlc.
I was really looking forward to seeing what Thor thought of the worst game mechanic in Outer Wilds, but then he went and completely fucking bypassed EVERYTHING by just experimenting.
And his lack of thoroughness in the base game helped him too (spoilers below the fold):
by not having access to Gabbro's meditation, it made him kill himself on the fire lmao
but yeah he didn't do any fucking stealth, what a madman
Im pretty sure chat was telling him to sleep at fire, resulting in a 70% dlc skip run. Still fun to watch tho.
he wasnt reading chat much, he slept to end the run thats how he discovered it
The amount of clues he accidentally spoiled for himself is astounding, lmao. It's actually a shame, since discovering a lot of these as part of the "intended" route is a lot cooler than accidentally figuring it out.
Blessed by more of this!
Accidentally finding 2 mechanics! That's so fun lol
Thor I’m begging you, replay this and the base game with the intention of uncovering the story and nothing else
It's incredibly interesting to see in what order people discover information and also how much info is actually necessary to solving the whole thing.
you mean like reading chat? which is filled with spoilers?
@@MasterYoda389 no
I'm disappointed I missed out on him reacting to the twists and turns of this DLC live but I'm interested to see it in the VOD
This man has big Mage energy. Can intuit quantum mechanics, struggles to operate a slide projector.
gotta love him starting the run with "sleep bad"... really speaks good omens for what's gonna happen
Me: Echoes of The Eye is scary, isn't it?
Pirate Software: :|
Me: Isn't it?
Pirate Software: :/
There's a lot of story you missed out on by finding the mechanics in unintended ways.
Really enjoyed this one
