This game is incredible. I highly recommend you play it first before watching me. You will still enjoy my playthrough after your own. In fact, you may enjoy it even more that way.
Be warned, playing this game comes with a terrible curse. You will forever have the desire to play this game for the first time again, and so will do so vicariously through others as often as possible.
I loved watching you play this, Joe. It really took me back to my first experience with the game. I hope everyone who values innovation in storytelling encounters this very special game.
Yeah what I love is that the cycle doesn't technically restart when you die so they all get about 20 minutes speculate why their new pilot jumped into a gyser/crushed themselves with an elevator/flew directly into the sun/ect.
@@MrCompassionate01 its funny to think about that they died 9mil times until the Ash twin failed or in this case suceeded which is why the statue finally paired What a time to be alive to play that one guy 😂
The timeline where Hal links to the statue, and can't do anything because they're stuck on Timber Hearth, forced to relive the same twenty two minutes of their best friend dying forever
@@Dorumin Mach number is a number that represents the ratio of an object's speed to the local speed of sound. On the surface of Earth (in air, not water), the "local speed of sound" is approximately 340 m/s, so Mach 1 in air is about 340 m/s. But Mach 1 in something else, like water, could be much higher than this. And so, Mach number could be hard to define properly in someplace like space.
LEGIT FULL BODY CHILLS AT 2:08:39. What an incredible way to discover The Moon, especially immediately after naturally discovering that /everything/ is fucked.
tbh the quantum moon being there is scripted, but joe is one of the few if not the only one actually realising what it is/does, everyone else i seen saw the moon in the background while reading but didn realise. i love this playtrough, Joes experience is one of the most unique i ever seen i love it🤣🤣
@@quantumblur_3145 its def. unconfirmed, but i tried it myself and it was there almost every time, doiesnt have to circle timber, or attle, i saw it on giants deep and bramble depending when in the cycle you arrive there, but it was always eiter before or after reading the thing that it was visible. What could also be is that the spiral staircase is intended to spawn him at least once cause trough the turning u see and unsee places. Thats just me hypothesising tho
Exactly lol. The whole Dark Bramble sequence I was like "what the fuuuuuuuck", and then the Tower of Quantum Knowledge at 1% surface integrity killed me
Its crazy, after a break of him a while back the first stream I watched was his Doom Eternal playthrough ... I was blown away then I watched this stream lol
TL:DR of Chat during the entire thing: a) "HE LACKS CRITICAL INFORMATION LUL LUL" b) "This time for sure! FeelsGoodMan" c) "Joe why?" d) *insert big copypasta about Joe flying into the sun*
Funny enough Joe's thought process of using the Nomai ship while waiting for the quantum moon to aline above it was my exact thought process when I played this game. It is a seriously painful process of waiting for the moon to orbit Brittle Hollow, take a picture of it, THEN wait in the ship hoping it aligns overhead perfectly. At that point you have to launch the ship at just the right time, fly PAST the moon, then bring the little ball in the ship over to the right path on the control pannel which will automatically align the ship with the moon since it'll be the closest astral body. Then it'll land you right on it. After watching other playthroughs of this game I realized how much easier the process could have been for me but I was just so stuck on this thought line of thought that I was convinced this was the only way to do it. Still, it made landing on the moon all the more satisfying. I love this game
that moment were you perfectly navigated into dark bramble just to jump into an anglerfish mouth was such perfect comedic timing, it almost felt scripted.
4:21:00 is still one of my favorite things about this stream. Chat losing their minds typing 1% and Joe killing himself stupidly before he wouldve gotten streamer luck and being in the right place at the right time to figure out the puzzle
This one you really gotta play before you watch. This game was the experience I’ll never forget, and it wouldn’t be the same if I saw it somewhere else first.
I'm kinda sad that I'll never get that. Saw the whole thing a while ago while I was working. By the end, I kinda wished I'd just gotten the game. I'll probably get it for my brother so he gets the experience and so I can support the devs.
I'm not even a streamer and tbh I feel kind of disoriented too when I watch playthroughs that don't have chat. (Sometimes it's a blessing though, chat can be really really dumb.)
This is the first of Joe's streams I've seen since Death Stranding, and every single fucking meme is still alive. I wonder if they'll just keep piling up until Joe's entire commentary can be delivered as quoted memes. Also, this is easily the best playthrough of this game I've watched. Joe is a weirdly perfect match for it.
Already watched all of these live and through the original Twitch VODs, just came here to say that I think this is one of your best stream playthroughs so far, or at least from the ones I've seen. Your genuine, confused reactions to so many things in this game were hilarious, especially seeing "Eskel is this normal?" live and in the moment. For someone like me who had already beaten the game and can sadly never truly experience it again, it was great to vicariously relive that sense of wonder, discovery and terror. This one is probably due for a "best of" video, only problem being that a lot of the funny moments require specific context of the game and its very complicated systems which are huge spoilers to anyone unfamiliar with it. Great streams of a great game, one of my all-time favourites for sure. Would put it as my GOTY for 2019 even though DMC5 is sitting right there glaring at me. Good luck on the rest of The Witcher 3.
Agreed. But I would take it one step further. I think I played this game *right* when I needed to. I think this is my favorite game of all time. No other game has made me feel like this.
@@gascan7333 I feel that. This game hands down made me more emotional that any other game. I still damn near tear up whenever I hear the soundtrack. So fuckin good
Sometimes chat gives off the best jokes like “Do TrEeS GiVe OfF AiR?” “Strap a tree to your back” “The forbidden knowledge” Yeah, this is why technology exists
@@lautarotrefilio4773 A moment of silence for our lost Brother's in Arms, who tragically perished in the Great Perpetual Burning of Joe. These couragous men and women, perished from the boredom of witnessing a dragon slam his face into orbital mechanics over and over again. They will be remembered forever in their WarCry: "FeelsGoodMan This Time For Sure"
Even the Witcher videos haven’t been able to create the excitement I feel as I begin watching this. Vicariously experiencing Outer Wilds through another’s eyes is the closest thing to playing for the first time you can get after having finished your own playthrough. I hope you post the entirety of the game, I am truly excited to observe your experience with it!
oh my this is a surprise for one of my favorite games, period. I'm having a literal physiological reaction in excitement, since I can only re-experience this game vicariously
seeing him fail spectacularly at some points but succeed at others without even knowing it, really makes me wonder how many times I've done it during my playthrough.
the tower of quantum knowledge is definitely one of the hardest puzzles to solve. I went through almost exactly the same thought process as joe so i don't blame him but damn is it frustrating to see haha!
for everyone in the start of the stream worried about the sun exploding before he activates the time loop: The sun doesn't actually age until the protagonist starts the time loop, this was a safety measure so that anybody playing doesn't get spoilers before the time loop. As you can see in 39:59 the sun hasn't expanded yet.
4:29:51 probably my favorite piece of dialogue (or, I guess it’s written word, so more like script? Whatever) in the game. Sometimes it’s hard to realize that this Nomai clan went from being an ordinary people creating great new technology and sharing it with each other to being stranded in a distant solar system and split apart in one of the most horrible emergencies possible. There is a lot of grief that is captured only if the player takes the time to really explore these locations and find all the lore hidden on various walls like this. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but do we ever find out the fate of Foli? Or even what the relationship between Kousa and Foli is? Are they lovers? Are they a parent and child? Siblings? No matter the answer, I think the line here is incredibly powerful, and it’s a shame that most players (at least from what I’ve seen) usually never see this dialogue. It’s hidden in an upstairs room of a broken house at the end of the first settlement that most players skim lightly before exploring elsewhere on Brittle Hollow. It’s not required lore at all and is very well hidden… but I think that also makes it so much more rewarding to find. “I don’t know how to be me without you.” Excellent writing. Just beautiful. This moment here during my first playthrough was what made me know this game was more than just a fun little indie game. It meant something, and had a message to tell about life and the value of it.
They aren't seen in any of the escape pods, so it can be assumed they died in the crash. As far as I can tell, that's the only line referencing them at all
Before Joe goes and slings himself into Quantum Tower (watching at 4:06:19), I actually did that on my first playthrough. I was already using gravity to travel in orbit around Brittle Hollow up until that point, and the Quantum Tower was the last piece of the Quantum Moon puzzle, so I was doing it at the tail end of the game. So I knew well that pieces of Brittle Hollow fell into the black hole, but for some reason I assumed the tower was just immune to falling in, so instead I slung myself around the black hole. If you wanna replicate at home, what you do is you jump right behind the stairway you (ideally) would walk into the tower with, use your thrusters and orbit the black hole once. But use them sparingly! You'll need to have full charge when you get close. When you start getting close to the tower again, engage your thrusters and aim toward the top half of the stairs, while also pulling back to soften the blow. You'll slam into them, probably also take some damage- but you have just enough time to finagle your way onto the floor. Congrats! You're part of the cool club now! (tip: if you go at a fast speed but are level to the ground, like you'd be running to a stop if you landed, you don't take fall damage. Gravity works weird with these platforms, so using the piece at the bottom of the stairs may help you avoid breaking your knees after a failed impact.) The fact this solution worked feels kinda like abusing mechanics, except the entire game is designed around the laws of motion. It's like cheating Kepler's laws- are ya gonna complain about slinging around the sun to not get engulfed in piping hot plasma? This game is pretty cool, man. Now to see if Joe actually did this or not.
Do you mean a specific moment or the idea of trying to search for cracks in the world? Because later on, he kept this idea and succeeded to find a "crack in the world".
@@HuSH_cptfalcon I mean on Stream Two. It's better to watch the whole thing if you haven't yet but here's a link with a timestamp where Joseph clips out of bounds: ua-cam.com/video/KVS2_l7OnvM/v-deo.html BTW, do you remember what moment you were referring to with "he tries to go out of bounds" in this first stream? I'm curious.
For anyone interested in this game please do not watch until you played it yourself. In this metroidvania knowledge is your path to progression and spoiling it will spoil this wonderful game. Also did Joe ever land on that S station?
Oh my god, this made my night. This is one of my favorite games ever. I didn't even start the video yet and I know you're going to absolutely love this, can't wait to hear what you think of this!! Edit: holy shit how are you so fast to catch on some of these things this is amazing.
Not that many streamers have played this game, but of all that I have seen I think Joe is the quickest to have figured out a lot of the mechanics and systems on his own.
Except the system that actually helps you progress in the game. When in the stream does he finally remember his ship has a computer? That’s the most frustrating part of this video for me. Just going to random places when the game literally screams to the player the first path they should take.
3:43:30 was such hilarious timing. thinking he was going to the moon, and instead he gets dropped into the black hole at the exact time he pulls the lever
Holy shit it was so damn funny when he thought he was gonna teleport to the quantum moon but his platform fell in to the black hole at the same time xD
immediately impressed. this man wanders into dark bramble immediately, goes thru several nodes, doesnt see a single anglerfish and lives to escape the maze. What the actual fuck
This feels like destiny because I finished the game about 6 months ago, but started looking for let’s plays just today. I was just thinking to myself how awesome it’d be if you made an analysis video on it and found this channel out of nowhere. This is my absolute favorite game, can’t wait for one of your 3 hour critiques on it. Love your content!
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU FINALLY PLAYING THIS!!! I recommended it to you (along with many others tbf), on your twitter ages ago! I was starting to worry you would forget about it! So glad you enjoyed it as much as I thought you would. It's a terrific game! :D
INVESTIGATE ALL THE THINGS This is a wonderful play of this game. You've joined a pretty awesome cabal of letsplayers engaging in this charming and mysterious and heartfelt game. There's lots to see, and lots you'd miss if you didn't have the heart of an explorer or if you were only interested in getting to the end. Two different peoples you grow to love, in a world you're always super desperate to find out more about, but can never quite find enough. I dare not gush further in case I give away even a single solitary thing. Do your own heart justice on this one, and poke around every possible place you can find. Thanks for sharing with us.
You know, I keep going back into the game? I keep visiting old spots hoping to find something new? Very once in a blue moon I actually do? Often because I watch videos like this and suddenly shout "HOW THE HECK DID I MISS THAT I WAS SO THOROUGH DAMMIT NOW I GOTTA LOOK"
Also also, you're definitely too smart for your own good, Joseph. Some really great insights as you're playing. (You just went following the duplicate signal after launching a scout into Timber Hearth's seed... and then comically "didn't nail it!" when you got there. I mean, just keep going. Just keep running down the beach madly giggling.
when i saw joe streamed this game, i finally decided to play it before watching the streams the game was fantastic, and seeing someone else go through it in a completely different order (and meme the game to hell) was a great complementary experience *play this first* (and then watch the streams)
I've completed this game. Then I bought it on Steam and 100% it getting all the achievements. Thus completing it ~4 times in total. And some of the stuff he does and discovers in here is totally new to me.
I like that you visited/investigated the probe launcher first. It was also the first thing that grabbed my interest due to the explosion you wake up to.
It is very interesting watching others play and how fast you realize this is not the game they think it is. Hell, I'm not exempt, I had an urge to explore the planet we are on as much as I can first and ended up dying on it in the first loop as well.
Oblivious to the expanding sun. I find that to be the funniest part of this so far. Just. Complete lack of awareness as it happened LMAO Glad you enjoyed it though!
Ooh, only just saw this, can't wait to watch. Joe says that scary games don't scare him, but there are parts of this that I was wondering if they would. Now I get to find out.
Oh my fucking god this was the most amazing stream I've ever seen. You have amazing timing, with deaths and discoveries, and you do things in hilarious orders. I haven't even played this game before, but when you nonchalantly said "I guess we're going to Dark Bramble first" and the chat collectively screamed in horror "NOOOOOO THAT'S THE WORST OPTION" that was fucking hilarious, and then you apparently reached one of the best guarded secrets of the game unscathed but got there so early you couldn't actually do anything with it???? And then your first real death is while you're talking to an npc so you can't even see the supernova? AND THEN YOU DIE VIA GEYSER IN THE STARTING AREA A SECOND TIME!!! AND THEN YOU FALL INTO THE SAME BLACK HOLE LIKE 3 TIMES BEFORE YOU DIE TO THE SUPERNOVA, AND THEN YOU SHOOT OUT OF AN UNDERGROUND GEYSER JUST IN TIME TO CATCH THE SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION, AND YOU SHOOT DIRECTLY INTO DARK BRAMBLE AGAIN WITH PERFECT PRECISION AND IMMEDIATELY GET EATEN- I can't take it. What the fuck is your luck? On a calmer note, I love the way you explore and analyze video games. I can't afford to buy too many myself, but you play games in a really satisfying way where it feels like I'd make similar decisions in your shoes. I'll watch the next stream tomorrow. Also I love that in this stream video the chat's visible, even if it blocks a bit of the stream. The dramatic irony really added to the experience.
1:01:35 As I have not played or planned to play this game, I got myself a really cool moment here. Joseph doesn't know what he's doing, I don't know what he's doing but I keep looking at the chat and am getting hype for..... Really cool feeling actually.
I wonder why no nomai ever answered the distress beacon. Is the Eye or Quantum Moon messing with that signal, or does it imply the Nomai no longer exist? I could also chalk it up to the abstraction of population size, given that the entire race could have been aboard that ship just like how there's only like two dozen hearthians.
This game is incredible. I highly recommend you play it first before watching me. You will still enjoy my playthrough after your own. In fact, you may enjoy it even more that way.
Be warned, playing this game comes with a terrible curse. You will forever have the desire to play this game for the first time again, and so will do so vicariously through others as often as possible.
Thanks for the enjoyment you brought us with this blind playthrough

Bad day in the village back in Timeline 1. Right before everyone dies, they get to watch their brand new pilot kill themself in the middle of town.

2:37:27 easily the best part
My man fucking bullseyed the gullet of that fucking angler fish
Please do a review on this game, Joe! It deserves more attention. It's honestly SO incredible.
Before Joe goes and slings himself into Quantum Tower (watching at 4:06:19), I actually did that on my first playthrough. I was already using gravity to travel in orbit around Brittle Hollow up until that point, and the Quantum Tower was the last piece of the Quantum Moon puzzle, so I was doing it at the tail end of the game. So I knew well that pieces of Brittle Hollow fell into the black hole, but for some reason I assumed the tower was just immune to falling in, so instead I slung myself around the black hole.
If you wanna replicate at home, what you do is you jump right behind the stairway you (ideally) would walk into the tower with, use your thrusters and orbit the black hole once. But use them sparingly! You'll need to have full charge when you get close. When you start getting close to the tower again, engage your thrusters and aim toward the top half of the stairs, while also pulling back to soften the blow. You'll slam into them, probably also take some damage- but you have just enough time to finagle your way onto the floor. Congrats! You're part of the cool club now!
(tip: if you go at a fast speed but are level to the ground, like you'd be running to a stop if you landed, you don't take fall damage. Gravity works weird with these platforms, so using the piece at the bottom of the stairs may help you avoid breaking your knees after a failed impact.)
The fact this solution worked feels kinda like abusing mechanics, except the entire game is designed around the laws of motion. It's like cheating Kepler's laws- are ya gonna complain about slinging around the sun to not get engulfed in piping hot plasma? This game is pretty cool, man.
Now to see if Joe actually did this or not.
My favorite comment was by far at 3 hours and 3 minutes by Mega Socrates "Streamer wallows in ignorance LUL". For some reason that got me into a fit.
Out of all the Outer Wilds' playthroughs I've watched, this is my favourite.
I take that back.
@@kaikunymous4687 Who's your favourite now? Mine's Materwelonz.
57:27 holy shit you almost stumbled on one of the craziest things in the game by complete accident right here. that's nuts
including chat for this was just the cherry on top of an incredible playthrough
51:54 FELDSPAR MOMENT
For a moment I thought this was gonna be a 5 hour review of Outer Wilds hahaha.
Loved watching the livestreams of this! What a beautiful game!
He trys to go out of bounds not knowing that such a thing doesn't exist in this game.
Have you watched the other parts yet?
@@buttonasas I was just commenting on what he thought at the moment.
Do you mean a specific moment or the idea of trying to search for cracks in the world? Because later on, he kept this idea and succeeded to find a "crack in the world".
@@buttonasas just the specific moment. Could i get a timestamp for when that happened?
@@HuSH_cptfalcon I mean on Stream Two. It's better to watch the whole thing if you haven't yet but here's a link with a timestamp where Joseph clips out of bounds: ua-cam.com/video/KVS2_l7OnvM/v-deo.html
BTW, do you remember what moment you were referring to with "he tries to go out of bounds" in this first stream? I'm curious.
For anyone interested in this game please do not watch until you played it yourself. In this metroidvania knowledge is your path to progression and spoiling it will spoil this wonderful game.
Also did Joe ever land on that S station?
Yeah he did off-stream. It was hilarious because he started the stream on the sun station lol
Trolly joe. He didn’t even have chat on when he did that.
Metroidvania?
This is absolutley a lie lol
@@aturchomicz821 how so?
41:07 oh little did we know
"There's gonna be some gravity shenanigans later" ...some? Mate this game is 98% Gravity Shenanigans
"Which means im gonna hate it and you're all gonna be mad at me"
Narrator: And then he didn't.
YES so glad you’re playing this
Oh my god, this made my night. This is one of my favorite games ever. I didn't even start the video yet and I know you're going to absolutely love this, can't wait to hear what you think of this!!
Edit: holy shit how are you so fast to catch on some of these things this is amazing.
Chat just losing their collective minds when Joe just blindly stumbles across something or absolutely 5heads some puzzle was hilarious.
1:34:40 "Supernovas are so inconvenient"
This was so entirely entertaining, especially with the chat. Im not only intrigued but also very satisfied.
Cant wait for more streams of this.
Not that many streamers have played this game, but of all that I have seen I think Joe is the quickest to have figured out a lot of the mechanics and systems on his own.
I just finished watching the rest of the streams and uhhh, never mind. just ignore the above comment lmfao.
Except the system that actually helps you progress in the game. When in the stream does he finally remember his ship has a computer? That’s the most frustrating part of this video for me. Just going to random places when the game literally screams to the player the first path they should take.
Other than esker, I can’t believe feldspar was the first traveller Joseph ran into. I didn’t find him until late game. Joseph is very big brain.
Joe slinging himself into the Tower of Quantum Knowledge is pretty poetic ngl
3:43:30 was such hilarious timing. thinking he was going to the moon, and instead he gets dropped into the black hole at the exact time he pulls the lever
Holy shit it was so damn funny when he thought he was gonna teleport to the quantum moon but his platform fell in to the black hole at the same time xD
I’m smiling. It’s magical watching someone else experience this masterpiece for the first time.
immediately impressed. this man wanders into dark bramble immediately, goes thru several nodes, doesnt see a single anglerfish and lives to escape the maze. What the actual fuck
I have watched these streams 3 times all the way through and now fallen asleep to them hundreds of times. Just feels like home now. Thanks joe💚
This feels like destiny because I finished the game about 6 months ago, but started looking for let’s plays just today. I was just thinking to myself how awesome it’d be if you made an analysis video on it and found this channel out of nowhere. This is my absolute favorite game, can’t wait for one of your 3 hour critiques on it. Love your content!
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU FINALLY PLAYING THIS!!! I recommended it to you (along with many others tbf), on your twitter ages ago! I was starting to worry you would forget about it! So glad you enjoyed it as much as I thought you would. It's a terrific game! :D
I’m beyond impressed with your puzzle solving skill
INVESTIGATE ALL THE THINGS
This is a wonderful play of this game. You've joined a pretty awesome cabal of letsplayers engaging in this charming and mysterious and heartfelt game. There's lots to see, and lots you'd miss if you didn't have the heart of an explorer or if you were only interested in getting to the end. Two different peoples you grow to love, in a world you're always super desperate to find out more about, but can never quite find enough.
I dare not gush further in case I give away even a single solitary thing.
Do your own heart justice on this one, and poke around every possible place you can find.
Thanks for sharing with us.
You know, I keep going back into the game? I keep visiting old spots hoping to find something new? Very once in a blue moon I actually do? Often because I watch videos like this and suddenly shout "HOW THE HECK DID I MISS THAT I WAS SO THOROUGH DAMMIT NOW I GOTTA LOOK"
Also also, you're definitely too smart for your own good, Joseph. Some really great insights as you're playing. (You just went following the duplicate signal after launching a scout into Timber Hearth's seed...
and then comically "didn't nail it!" when you got there.
I mean, just keep going. Just keep running down the beach madly giggling.
this is looking like its going to be the best outer wilds playthrough on the internet
when i saw joe streamed this game, i finally decided to play it before watching the streams
the game was fantastic, and seeing someone else go through it in a completely different order (and meme the game to hell) was a great complementary experience
*play this first* (and then watch the streams)
I've completed this game. Then I bought it on Steam and 100% it getting all the achievements. Thus completing it ~4 times in total.
And some of the stuff he does and discovers in here is totally new to me.
Literally reads a comic showing exactly what happened to the vessel. People in chat going GALAXY BRAIN HES SO SMART HOW DOES HE DO IT
I like that you visited/investigated the probe launcher first. It was also the first thing that grabbed my interest due to the explosion you wake up to.
1:02:00 when he just witlessly stumbled around Dark Bramble and didn't die, lmao
It is very interesting watching others play and how fast you realize this is not the game they think it is. Hell, I'm not exempt, I had an urge to explore the planet we are on as much as I can first and ended up dying on it in the first loop as well.
I really hope he makes an analysis video on this, it's easily my favourite game of all time!
Seeing you say you feel like you've done everything in brittle hollow was so funny bc you had barely even scratched the surface
How did he not wake up the fish when he was zooming around right in front of its mouth?
If I blink too hard they kill me
It is unfortunate that the only way to truly relive this game is through the eyes of others, but I'll take it. One of the best games ever made.
40:07 Ah, yes "you are here" my favorite planet
This has to be the smartest playthrough of outer wilds I've ever seen. He picks up on everything almost immediately.
Who needs a Hohmann transfer when you can dolphin dive through the atmosphere?
Missed these streams while you were playing but I keep hearing you and chat talking about it so I’m eager to watch these.
I played through this a month ago and it's my favourite game in a very very long time, I can't wait to watch this
Oblivious to the expanding sun. I find that to be the funniest part of this so far. Just. Complete lack of awareness as it happened LMAO Glad you enjoyed it though!
I am SO glad I’m not the only person who jumped down that hole first thing and got the credits right away
Mans got killed before the time loop on ACCIDENT
I almost feel bad
Never clicked faster. I was literally looking yesterday to see if Joe has played this masterpiece before.
If you’re okay with Twitch’s atrocious ads, you can watch all of his OW streams on his channel.
The best outer wilds lets play period
Wow I love this stream! the whole dark bramble section was tense as hell :D
4:45:11 “The signal is a call. We’re we the intended audience?” This quote hits extra hard after playing the DLC
You are the first I've seen to explore, of all places, the foggy anglerfish bullshit land FIRST.
Ooh, only just saw this, can't wait to watch. Joe says that scary games don't scare him, but there are parts of this that I was wondering if they would. Now I get to find out.
Well now I'm trying to watch it, but the POV is making me physically ill. Does he ever change it back to normal?
It was worth waiting 2 years to play the game first before watching! I finished the game a couple days ago and it lived up to the hype.
Coming back for a rewatch and fuck me I burst out laughing at "IT DOESNT KNOW LUL" 1:47:00
Oh my fucking god this was the most amazing stream I've ever seen. You have amazing timing, with deaths and discoveries, and you do things in hilarious orders. I haven't even played this game before, but when you nonchalantly said "I guess we're going to Dark Bramble first" and the chat collectively screamed in horror "NOOOOOO THAT'S THE WORST OPTION" that was fucking hilarious, and then you apparently reached one of the best guarded secrets of the game unscathed but got there so early you couldn't actually do anything with it???? And then your first real death is while you're talking to an npc so you can't even see the supernova? AND THEN YOU DIE VIA GEYSER IN THE STARTING AREA A SECOND TIME!!! AND THEN YOU FALL INTO THE SAME BLACK HOLE LIKE 3 TIMES BEFORE YOU DIE TO THE SUPERNOVA, AND THEN YOU SHOOT OUT OF AN UNDERGROUND GEYSER JUST IN TIME TO CATCH THE SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION, AND YOU SHOOT DIRECTLY INTO DARK BRAMBLE AGAIN WITH PERFECT PRECISION AND IMMEDIATELY GET EATEN-
I can't take it. What the fuck is your luck? On a calmer note, I love the way you explore and analyze video games. I can't afford to buy too many myself, but you play games in a really satisfying way where it feels like I'd make similar decisions in your shoes. I'll watch the next stream tomorrow. Also I love that in this stream video the chat's visible, even if it blocks a bit of the stream. The dramatic irony really added to the experience.
1:01:35 As I have not played or planned to play this game, I got myself a really cool moment here.
Joseph doesn't know what he's doing, I don't know what he's doing but I keep looking at the chat and am getting hype for.....
Really cool feeling actually.
Best blind playthrough of my best game
I wonder why no nomai ever answered the distress beacon. Is the Eye or Quantum Moon messing with that signal, or does it imply the Nomai no longer exist? I could also chalk it up to the abstraction of population size, given that the entire race could have been aboard that ship just like how there's only like two dozen hearthians.
"We're working on fixing the auto pilot's avoidance system for this one!" ... i missed that.... They knew....!
