    Lol I’ve died so many times at this part, like many others. The run I’ve done here wasn’t perfect after so many lives lost (I skipped straight to the perfect attempt) but at least I’ve finally made it to the top without dying for the upteenth time. XD

    This perfect run is good and all, but it doesn't do justice to what it is like to experience this for the first time.
    The shock from realising at the start that the water is rising and that you have to escape it; the panic from frantically trying to work out how to keep climbing using your new ability; the frustration of repeatedly dying and immediately having to start from the bottom; the urge to try again and again as the incredible music pleads with you to keep going, and the euphoria from managing to FINALLY escape the Ginso tree.

      I KNOWWWWW!!!!! My excitement immediately turned into worry when that achievement popped, then I realized that this rush of water is as deadly as it is life-saving for the forest. So now I'm outrunning that which will begin the turning of the tide against Nibel's corruption. I'm terrified, scared for my life, but at the same time so ecstatically happy at what I've just accomplished. I imagine myself climbing this tree with the biggest possible grin on my face, while internally I'm panicking and trying to concentrate on finding the right path to take to stay ahead of the flow. The Ginso Tree escape is the seemingly impossibly perfect combination of elation and sheer terror. This sequence will forever be my favorite moment in all of gaming.

      But other than that, it was just pure euphoria that hit me. Climbing up the tree, the soundtrack, the cutscene, the music that followed also gave me a sense of paradise (the Thornfelt Swamp). This franchise is beautiful.

    The music arrangement in this part of the game is incredible. Although I died like 50 times in this part, the soundtrack makes the experience that much better. It gives the vibe that although you are trying to escape with your life, it’s also a joyful moment because the tree is brought back to life. Ori’s movements sync well with the music, like he’s dancing in his escape, celebrating the tree’s revival. I love this part of the game.

    • @varsoonhks3211
      @varsoonhks3211 2 роки тому +1

      ​@@Joseph-jn1xb The game is fine on hard and the issue with this part isn't about it being 'easy' or not. Even on the highest cranked settings, the game isn't that difficult or punishing. Its movement mechanics are even, for the most part, enjoyable. I was having fun with it. Then I got the 'Bounce' powerup.
      The way it works is that you press the Triangle Button when you're close to an enemy or a projectile and it'll launch you in the direction you're holding while throwing the enemy/projectile in the opposite direction.
      It took me about five minutes of play to realize you could HOLD the button to slow down and more properly aim the direction you want to go, which was a godsend.
      It's a bit awkward, given the JUMP button is X, so swapping between using Triangle to bounce, then X to jump can be a bit of an obtuse affair. And hey, that's on me, I could always rebind the keys from their terrible defaults.
      But whatever, I managed it, I handled it, I did it, and the game gave me a whole dungeon of puzzles to use this mechanic for. Reach this ledge with the bounce jump! Use an enemy projectile to destroy some terrain! Set up an intricate use of bouncing a slow moving projectile through portals and multiple bounces to eventually get it to break so far-away terrain! A bit obnoxious, but growing pains of teaching the extremes of a new ability that's non-standard to most platformers. Okay. I knew this mechanic would likely never see this level of use in the game ever again but that's fine. I was handling it.
      Then the game is like, "Here's a boss to fight with your new power." You quickly discover this dude takes no damage from any of your attacks. But hey, he DOES shoot his own projectiles at you and you can slam those back now. So you do that, but also the stage is 90% spikes that kill you fast and platforms that go up and down under the spikes, so you need to stay mobile and choose your shots. Tricky and dangerous, but something you can overcome to express mastery of the ability you've been learning throughout the dungeon.
      So far so good. Not my favorite mechanic, not fun to even use, but I beat the boss. I felt like "Man, okay, got it, I can use this ability to maneuver, bamboozle enemies, even fight back against some hard ones." And then the game is like "Congrats! You get to revive the water tree!"
      And your reward for reviving the water tree is a two-minute long escape sequence where you have to pretty exclusively use your new power to escape rising water that instant-kills you.
      Which, like, I get it, a final, final, FINAL test to really test you on this new power.
      Except it's the jankiest ability in the game ALREADY.
      Except you just proved you could use it in any application realistic to the rest of the game already.
      Sure, it works for PUZZLES. Sure, it's fine for a jump here or a called shot there.
      Two dozen jumps in perfect sequence? Never.
      To make matters worse, the game designers thought it'd be cool to muddy the design of this cinematic escape sequence by putting a huge EXP bonus on EVERY SCREEN in a dangerous-to-reach location. So now you're strapped with making an already-difficulty platforming segment that relies on the worst platforming ability in the game even harder or the player gets to feel like they lost out on a couple level ups forever because they couldn't be assed.
      The thing's a mess. There's more than one jump where if you miss your chance to pixel-perfect slam-bounce your way up, there's not going to be another thanks to the fact you need to rely on enemy attacks to bounce your way up. And every time you fail, you have to start the ENTIRE SEQUENCE from the very beginning again.
      Up to this point, I've died enough times to count on one hand in this game. None of the platforming has really given me a problem. This sequence was a stone wall. Thanks to the game giving you a "Run for your Life!" achievement right before the sequence starts and bookending it with another achievement, I can definitively say it took me from 6:14 PM to 6:27 PM to finish what is supposed to be a minute-long 'cool, epic, cinematic' segment. Thirteen minutes a 'stone wall'? You might not think that's too bad but for what it is meant to actually be, it was the worst thirteen minutes I've experienced in any game this whole year and soured the entire experience of Ori for me.
      To further salt the wounds on this, when looking for this very video to see if there was maybe some trick to the sequence that I may have missed (there wasn't), I was left aghast at the sheer amount of people that laud this as one of the best parts of any video game ever. Even people who admit it took them upwards of an hour to complete are singing the praises of one of the most ill-conceived, self-undermining escape sequences I've ever had the misfortune of playing.
      And to top all this off, to really drive home that the developers had no idea how miserable a sequence this would in actual play, the achievement for winning the thing is named 'Close Call.' CLOSE CALL? I died over a dozen times on this part. There was nothing close about it. Any degree of tension was immediately undermined the second that I died, had to start from the beginning, and realized I'd be stuck in this tiresome loop until I perfected it. Literally even knowing every single jump you have to make, it's still possible to mess it up, too. I'd gotten to the very last few jumps several times before I finally made it through.
      So not only is it a sequence that lacks any sort of catharsis besides allowing you freedom from its own miserable trap, it's also poorly designed in that it's : testing you on a mechanic that has awkward default binding and actual play use; presenting a test scenario that will very likely never arise again based on everything you've encountered before (correct me if I am wrong and Ori becomes a series of tightly designed auto-scrollers after this segment); presenting a redundant test scenario since the entire previous dungeon and boss already showcase the new mechanic and highlight how it can dynamically alter the actual play experience of the game outside of this dungeon; built on the developer assumption that the player will hold tension through a zero-tension sequence that restarts every time and is overlong; presents clear cut missable rewards that are outside of the main path of the escape sequence, rendering it either more difficult to clear or leaving the player feeling like they've 'missed out'; and lasts too long to be reasonably completed on a first try and is repetitive without option for creative work-arounds.
      There's just such a huge disconnect between the (assumedly) intended design of "use your cool new power to narrowly escape a surprise threat" and the actual design of "tediously master an awkward movement mechanic in a sequence unlike anything beforehand or afterward despite having just finished a dungeon in which you proved mastery in the first place."
      At this point, I'd played 4.6 hours of Ori and had largely enjoyed it but this single sequence was so loathsome that I haven't touched the game since. As of writing this comment, it has been seven months since my last play session where I got the 'Close Call' achievement. I'm not going to return to the game, either. I've never before experienced such a concise moment of a game losing all of its good will with me before.

      @@varsoonhks3211 dude for real. Two things design-wise that drove me nuts on this: the pickups that look like the little lamp things so I end up trying to launch off something I can’t, and the bounce pads that require a precise timing or I end up double jumping right before I hit it which throws off the rhythm.
      Edit: one more design flaw: the water damage sometimes does 1 pip and other times is an instant kill. I found myself just needing the only take one damage and I’d be fine but that seemed to be the times the water insta-kills me. Super frustrating.

    The first time you experience this it's so good. It's like frustrating and somehow heartbreaking and so freeing when you pop out the top.

    Everyone mentions the terror and panic during this run, but as I was getting so immersed from the story, the restoration of the Ginso tree, seeing the rush of water, with the music, brought an overwhelming joy along with that shock and panic. It was exhilarating.

    This has got to be one of my favorite moments in gaming, the scenery, music and escape sequence all fit together so well, it gave me chills and a smile as i ran it. I even started a new game and played all the way up to that part again and kept that save file apart just so i can play it over and over again, quickly exiting to the menu whenever i reach to the top

  • @tomlynmathewsjr7514
    @tomlynmathewsjr7514 3 роки тому +3

    A few years late, but I'm sure most people will agree that THIS is the moment that people fell in love with this game.
    You have this amazing piece of music that both triumphant and desperate as you escape the tree
    An amazing subversion of the rushing waters that provide life also being a danger
    Plus the absolutely maddeningly levels of movement that this game demands from you without much preparation.
    Shockingly, I went into this game blind recently, and THIS moment, my god I knew that I had to finish this game. This is within the first hour or two. What else will it have?

  • @vildiac
    @vildiac 4 роки тому

    I played this part of the game yesterday, first time ever. And it took me close to an hour to finally get through it.
    But even after those countless attempts it took me, I would happily replay it over and over. The fast paced platforming was incredible, the moments where you had to very quickly decide where to bash to were awesome, the music was phenomenal, and then that flood of euphoria when I finally made it out was incredible.
    Before I got to this part, I merely just enjoyed the game. But this flooding sequence made me fall in love with Ori.

    It was a hell of a struggle to escape the tree, but damn, the first time in ages I've enjoyed an escape sequence.
    If you've learned how to use the dash ability well, it becomes fluid and fast-paced.
    Having enjoyed other platformers in the past, this was a selling point for me.

  • @Theantininja
    @Theantininja 3 роки тому +5

    mmm, I got a lot of fond memories of this particular sequence. I still consider it a masterpiece of subversion of expectation and emotional investment. Up to this point in the game, the gameplay loop has been trying to teach players to go at their own pace, think things through, and never rush without thinking. Then you get to this sequence and the music picks up, the floodwaters hit, and everything the game has been teaching you gets thrown out the window as the game turns into a mad scramble to avoid instant and certain death.

    I think this really hammers home what kind of experience Ori is.
    With an advancing wall of death scenario, the music would sound frantic and perilous. But here, it sounds hopeful and euphoric, because despite your predicament, the fact that it's happening is a good thing in-story.

    Man, when I first played this part of the game, I was about to do my victory dance, but when the water started to rush in, I thought “Oh shit!” I was panicking and it took me what felt like a gazillion tries to get the through the level. Once I reached the top of the Ginso Tree, I was mentally exhausted. My hands were really sweaty while climbing desperately. Glad I don’t have to do that again.🙂

    This was insanely hard to learn for the first ten or twenty tries.
    Then when you get the gist of timing and all, it was kind of fun and frustating together.
    It takes some optimization(angles and plans) and adjustments (such as using Double jump properly)
    to be as smoove as possible.

    @jennacreighton8432 2 роки тому

    I do not consider myself a gamer by any means, (any means at all, not very much into games), but I loved this part. It’s like a little test where the game’s like, “Do everything you learned all throughout the level now in 60 seconds.” I got farther a bit each time until I passed it. Took about an hour to do it 😭 But I really love this game and the sequel. They’re the only two modern “real” video games I’ve played since Super Mario World on 3DS in 2012. Gorgeous games. Gorgeous music. And I thoroughly enjoyed the learning curve and how it teaches you and then tests you on control. I’ve played through Blind Forest 3 times and Wisps twice. 10/10.
    Edit to mention how the music just doesn’t cut and start over but continues which encourage you to continue. Love it.
