Try to get your friends to play it so you can enjoy their enjoyment.

You need help. You're clinically depressed.

Isn't it kind of weird that "help" now almost exclusively means "take mind-altering drugs given to you by doctors"?

new to this, did I just die?

I felt it too brother. Just listen to the soundtrack for a week. Time heals all wounds.

I see this posted on Zig Forums a lot, is it actually good?
What kind of game is this, I watched a trailer and it didn't look great so does it have really fun gameplay?

I think it's one of the few games to deliver a narrative in a way that no other medium really could. It plays to the strengths of the medium rather than rely on literary or cinematic methods.

Yes, it's good. It's one of the only games of recent memory to actually get exploration right.
You don't get any upgrades, your reward is information. That's why you want to go in knowing as little as possible. You can finish the game in 20 minutes if you know what to do.
The whole idea is learning all you can in a location to figure out where to go next to get more information and figure out what happened in the past, and why what's happening in the present is happening at all, and possibly trying to stop it.

Is this game gonna be on switch , I hear good things about it.

Probably not. The real time universe is surprisingly taxing on hardware.

If you like mystery+exploration-based games you'll love it. Also one of the few games to get storytelling done right.

That actually does sound pretty cool, I'm getting sick of playing nothing but grind-fests.
I have gamepass so I might as well give it a try

>The whole idea is learning all you can in a location to figure out where to go next to get more information
What's even better about this is that the different locations point at eachother; if you get stuck in one place, you can just go someplace else where you'll get info that pushes you to explore the first location properly. I don't think I explored a single planet in one swoop.

If there's any game I wish I could wipe my memory of and experience for this first time all over again it's this one

it's a mediocre exploration/puzzle game. and I genuinely believe this shit is just being shilled, played it myself and it wasn't that amazing.

Don't look anything up beforehand. Don't google anything about it. Just play it, and don't be afraid to Doze Off at a campfire, it's actually useful. The info in your ship's computer is always saved, even if you quit to the menu.

0/10 Outer Worlds is a fucking trash game.

it's a space exploration mystery
there are no bad guys to kill, it's all exploration, gathering information and figuring out what to do, your rewards are lore snippets and hints on what stuff does.

nice LARP
have sex

look at the first like 4 posts of this thread. Yes its being shilled.

Been playing Quern. It's very linear but I'm still enjoying it.

Subnautica is kinda similar

how does it feel being dead inside?

honestly can tell by your post that your life is miserable. The reason people don't like you is because your a shitty person, bye.

This is a pretty good tips.

Obra Dinn filled the void in a way for me.

Shills want me to believe I'm clinically depressed, that prescription medication is evil, and that somebody isn't sure if he died or not while playing?

>muh shills
No, it genuinely is one of the best games I've played in 10 years or so.

I sincerely hope Outer WIlds inspires a whole new slew of adventure exploration mystery games. It felt way too good to play.

I went back and played a bunch of old adventure games that used to bore me as a kid. Turns out there's a lot of stuff I've missed that gives me the same feelings for environmental storytelling and slowly uncovering a mystery at your own pace.

I pretty much started enjoying adventure games around 27-28yo. And there are so many of them, not just old ones.

Most common (unintentional) deaths? For me it was setting autopilot then unbuckling to go read notes during the trip only to crash into the sun since it doesn't account for obstacles in the way. Other than that I probably died 5 or 6 times from forgetting to put my suit on.

psychiatrists will almost always recommend also regularly speaking to a therapist in addition to medication

I learned the hard way that when quantum moon is around the twins, its gravity is weaker than the sun's.

bros I'm on my 3rd reset, just wondering is the sun going supernova time-based? as in it's always at the same amount of time passed?

yes

Yes and you will find out why

Yeah I died a couple times trying to get into the comet from this, also I tried to land on the solar station before learning about the ash twin teleporter and it was scary as shit, your ship doesn't really stay still because of the atmosphere friction/solar wind. The docking music from interstellar played in my head the whole time. I only got inside shortly before it fell into the sun.

Yes, you're in groundhog's day except the day is 20 minutes.

Weak bait and not funny
Try harder next time

Yeah, it's like a half hour IIRC. Time pauses when you're reading something or when you talk to people if you've got the options enabled. Unless you hear the music start playing and it's close to supernova time

Stop reading this thread, most people aren't going to bother to spoiler tag anything and you can figure out everything on your own pretty easily except maybe 2 things at the very end, by then there will be very little that you could accidentally be spoiled on.
