It's so nice to watch a playthrough where someone is focused on the game, and it isn't just an upload of a twitch playthrough where someone is constantly saying "Hey gamer2100, thanks for the twelve months!" while they miss important things in the game! I love this game, and once you've finished it, the DLC expansion is also amazing in its own way and really expands the story. I'm looking forward to watching you discover the mysteries! My only humble request is that in your commentary you try to be cautious about giving spoilers for other games, that not everyone has played!
Thank you! Yeah, I'm not really a fan of watching playthroughs on twitch for that very reason, I find streamers are often focused more on chat and donations rather than the game itself, and it's quite distracting.
I might drop a few references there and there but I will try my best not to mention any spoilers for other games! thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the rest of the playthrough!
I spend so long looking for play throughs of this game specifically that aren’t from twitch vods. I highly recommend Lil Indigestion’s play through as well for that reason
@@dave8386Welonz has a great let’s play as well if you are looking for another one.
Something I realized in your playthrough that I had not seen before in any other playthrough including mine, is that dialogue with the statue guy that tells you that a broken nomai statue was repurposed to build your ship computer, and he tells you that maybe the nomai statues are some sort of information storage.
All this time thinking that your ship log stays intact after the loop was just because for the sake of the gameplay, but they actually have included a reason.
Same thing for me! And i watched maybe 10 playthroughs and never saw that!
Yup just noticed tht for the first time myself too!
1:27:55 It's kind of hidden, but there actually is an in-game justification for the ship log being in the time loop.
(mild-ish spoiler for those who haven't played the game)
There's a branch of conversation you can go down with Hal where he'll tell you that the stone the Nomai Statue is made out of can be used to store immense amounts of information, and the Hearthians used a sample of the statue to serve as the ship's memory bank
ye he actually read it
It is indeed correct that you feel 0 gravity when in free fall, that's why it's "weightlessness" and gives your stomach butterflies.
33:10 Sometimes the lock on gets funky after tabbing out of the game, so if your lock on stops working for some reason, try tabbing/clicking back in the game window!
(Idk if you discover this fix later on in the video, I'm only a third of the way through currently, and very much enjoying it so far!)
Ooooh maybe that's what it was! I wasn't able to fix it in that session no, but I'll keep that in mind for next time! Thank you for watching and glad you're enjoying c:
Easiest solution is clicking with the mouse. It's another way to lock on (for those who play on keyboard), and fixes it for controller
@@Crabbi5 it does? I was resigned to switching to keyboard or restarting the game... >.
Yeah it started when they implemented the DLC content for the "museum expanison" had to change the map coding to implement its new features.
One of the absolute best games out there.
It's one of the only games that truly show us what games are capable of - beyond just cool scenes and views, this game uses the fact that it's an interactive medium to it's fullest extent.
Sure, you can appreciate it by watching it, but you'd be missing the point. It's the fact YOU are discovering these things, YOU are making the decisions, YOU are having the 'Eureka!' moments - the game hands you the wheel, and basically lets you finish it in the first 20 minutes of play. If you wanted to, you could look up the solution for everything and the credits will be rolling before you know it.
But... It's what differentiates videogames from other media.
This game puts these controls in your hands - YOU are the main character, and YOUR knowledge, as the player, is what gets you to the next point in the story. YOU are the one in control. No obstacles that limit you except your knowledge.
Absolutely agree! I think the best games are those that provide an experience that you couldn't get with any other media and fully use their nature as an interactive medium. They're the ones that end up being very highly recommended, and this one certainly was! Excited to see how it plays out, I'll be sure to be very thorough! thank you for your comment!
You formulated my opinions on games very well, that you ::)
@@dezm0n679 happy to resonate with you ::)
I think the irony is, if someone didn't know anything about this game, they might mistakenly call it a 'walking simulator', I mean... you don't shoot stuff, the puzzles aren't obvious in their puzzle-ness (compared to a game like The Witness or Portal, where every puzzle is self-contained, has obvious boundaries and elements. OW's puzzles are more about understanding the lore, hints and story, and coming to your own conclusions. Honestly, in practice, most of the solutions come for straight-up reading), platforming is abstract, mainly existing as a 'some places require some maneuvering', but this isn't Celeste or something...
What I'm saying is, this game is the most interactive videogame I've ever played but not because clicking left click shoots a gun that kills an enemy, but because this game FORCES you to interface with it on a level FAR deeper than any other game did for me - it forced me to think about the story and mystery. While a game like Portal (I LOVE Portal, no dissing here!) Doesn't need you to interface in any way beyond logical thinking - laser activates funnel, funnel brings cube to button, button opens door, I go to next level. In Outer Wilds I was 100% in-the-game, I actually set up a whiteboard with my theories as I was playing, as it helped me keep track of everything that was happening in the grand picture (the ship log is fantastic, but I needed to draw the bigger picture myself to truly understand it personally), I wasn't noticing I was so immersed until AFTER my playthrough, when I realized I MADE A WHITEBOARD FOR THIS GAME, something I've never done for... any media before. and then I REALLY went 'woah what did I just play through'.
It's a very clever design choice, to have the game rely on your out-of-game brain's own reasoning rather than a set of logical static mechanics. I would give an example but it'd be a spoiler.
Ironically, less in-game interaction is the only way to do it in my opinion.
The only other game like Outer Wilds I can think of is The Painscreek Killings, and this game is 100% an investigation game with no interaction - you walk around, no little scout, no jetpack, no dying or time limit or anything.. just a murder mystery in an abandoned town. The difference between this and portal? An AI can beat portal, as every puzzle element has a clear purpose, like a mathematical equation. Outer Wilds and Painscreek are more like... a philosophical question. Only a human can truly answer one of those, because you need to interpret information in more than just a purely logical way to answer that.
@@meridiasbeacon7669 Another good OuterWilds-like game in my opinion is Antichamber, still on of my favourites. Also Subnautica have a bit simular feeling to it but less mystery, more crafting/survival. But for the moment i finished OuterWilds i knew - it's my new all-time favourite game, probably for a very long time ::)
Definitely going to check Painscreek killings now
@@dezm0n679 ah, yea I played Antichamber a while back and it was really good, and I love Subnautica, but I think the fact it has progression makes it have a very different design from Outer Wilds, but it does have that element of discovering the world and it's rules on your own
I will warn about Painscreek Killings however - it is not easy at all! Ready up a whiteboard, that game has no ship log, and has a hundred times the amount of reading Outer Wilds has!
Also unlike Outer Wilds, Painscreek attempts to feel like a real life murder mystery. What I mean is - most information you read is hidden along lines and lines of flavor text - an ad for a local bar could contain the answer for a puzzle, while a breakup letter behind someone's wardrobe could hint about local buzz before the killings..
Also, like Outer Wilds, it is not a horror game, but it is CREEPY, and it may or may not also include some paranormal themes at play...
This is a wonderful playthrough of Outer Wilds (and the DLC), and I highly recommend it to anyone window shopping for a new OW playthrough (like I originally was).
Lukael was very successfully inquisitive (picking up on even the subtle lore bits pretty consistently), the editing is great, he dodged all the spoilers that could have meaningfully impacted the run (it really helps to not have a live chat itching to guide the player), and he had (in my opinion) great luck in the order he chose to pursue topics (avoiding certain scenarios that could've undercut some of the reveals while remaining blind).
As an Outer Wilds Playthrough Nomad, this is one of my favorites.
Thank you! As a fellow Outer Wilds Playthrough enjoyer, I appreciated this brief summary. I am ready!
Tbh this is so helpful as a fellow nomai of OW playthroughs, thank you ::)
Was reccomended this video by TH-cam because I love Outer Wilds! Definitely new to this channel, but excited to see you experience this game!
Thank you for watching!
So glad TH-cam recommended this video to me. There can never be enough Outer Wilds playthroughs. Really enjoying this so far :)
I'm very happy you found your way here as well! 😊 Hope you keep enjoying the playthrough! Thank you for watching!
There are not nearly enough Outer Wilds on TH-cam. Going to thoroughly enjoy this.
This whole elaborate masterpiece of a game simulating the gravitational interactions of an entire mini star system and they still can't figure out how to fix the lock-on bug.
Also you got the dialogue where they talk about how they built your ship computer around a broken bit of Nomai statue
I've been fixing it with just a quick Alt+tab so it's not too bad! and yeah, I seem to recall that!
@@LukaelPlays I really enjoy your inquisitiveness and attentiveness, and the current editing seems to be just right. The average Wilds playthrough watcher endlessly watches new blind playthroughs and can't stop themselves, but they get half their fix from moments of gradual revelation, so it's merciful to trim things down just a bit.
I wasn't really sure about this, but I thought the alien language and translator was pretty neat looking and great concepts.
Then THE THING made this very intriguing, will keep giving these a try or two :)
Love your reactions and commentary, as always.
I personally don't mind your camera hiding some of the UI, didn't appear to be any crucial information there!
I'm kinda used to see you in that corner haha
@@Lord-AzuRa teehee
I might play around with it a bit if it ends up hiding anything important. Glad you enjoy, keep watching, there's a big mystery here!
This looks like a promissing great playthrough.
My only piece of advice, do the DLC last, after completion of the main game.
Also for your question 'Why my ship remembers the logs' rembember that in the museum they told you a chip of the statue was made into your ship, thats why.
Even under the Log machine there are the cables and energy characteristic of nomai tech.
the details~
Nah he can play it before he finishes main game if he wants. I watched a blind playthrough where person did. Just thought and worked out great. So play however you want man!
Thank you, I hope you enjoy the rest of it! new episodes every Friday!
I don't own the DLC yet but I might definitely play it after the game!
As for the logs, yeah that was kinda my guess as well! figured it had to do with that nomai artifact on the ship
@@LukaelPlays I definitely also vote for playing and finishing the first game first before playing the DLC. Just my "two cents."
I agree with waiting. Maybe not completing the main game, but at least wait with the radio tower (DLC) stuff until he knows exactly what he has to do to complete the main story. I know it isn't an absolute must, but I'd still recommend it.
Nice new outer wilds playthrough. I hope you're going in without knowing anything about it. That is how its the best experience.
This game is one of the best examples of "i wish i could forget ever playing it so i could experience it again for the first time"
Oh and the issue with the lock on is a known bug that slipped in with one of the latest updates. You can fix it by resetting the control settings to default or exiting the game and starting it again.
I indeed know nothing about the game! (well except for what happens in this first episode ahah) thank you for watching and hope you enjoy this playthrough!
@@LukaelPlays just added a bit more to my comment about why the lock on didn't work. Its a known bug. Easy to fix.
@@hunmg3769 oooh gotcha, I will try that next time, thanks a lot!
Fun fact, some part of early space program ship used wood for reentry shielding, wood is also pretty nice because it doesn't vacuum weld (but it is generally considered too heavy)
Whoa really? How interesting ahaha
18:47 Yeah, I'm here from your Subnautica play through...
Once I found out you played this amazing game I was here for it!
You mighta earned a new sub, youtube recommended this randomly to me because another youtuber i watch was playing it. Loving your reactions, hehe. Hope you keep playing more indie games! I don't wanna sound biased, but indie games really do have the coolest concepts.
Glad to have you here! Will definitely play a lot more indie games in the future because I love those!
Yay, another OW playthrough where I like the voice/humor/emotional engagement of the player! Starting the bingewatch now!
Happy to hear that! Enjoy! :D
thank you for allowing me to relive my experience playing this game for the first time... i really appreciate you fully immersing yourself in it! i watched the finale first and i really enjoyed your playthrough so i think i'm gonna go watch the rest as well :)
Thank you for watching and for the sub!! I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the playthrough :3
1:29:08 - I believe it's agoraphobia that fits that description best. Though I challenge you to feel the same while on the hourglass twins when the sun has gone red giant. 😅
Oof, we'll see when I get there! and yeah, outer space is like agoraphobia but taken to a whole other extreme! probably has a specific name... I think astrophobia?
The reactions to the supernova are always my favorite part.
It took me a few runs before actually running into the supernova. I was confused between that and the Interloper crashing into me a couple of times, til I pieced that together. 😅
The lock-on thing breaks when your cursor is over on your OBS screen. To fix it, you just need to mouse click once on your game window.
regarding motion sickness/disorientation in first person games: having a narrow field of view actually makes this a lot worse so You may want to turn it up a bit if you haven't already. 55 is really low as an FOV setting.
Just discovered your channel looking for some new Outer Wilds playthroughs to enjoy - and you’ve hooked me with all your Mass Effect references, ha ha! Can’t wait to catch up on your Outer Wilds journey!
Happy to have a fellow Mass Effect fan here! :D Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos!
Ahh, another year, another reason to watch someone play OW
48:46 it is a proper, translatable language
There's guides how to read/write Nomai
It's not easy
Wow, really!? Didn't know that...
Ooh. I was going to ask if you had the DLC installed here, but then I spotted it starting on episode 9.
I can wait. ;)
Yet another Outer Wilds playthrough to vicariously relive my first playthrough! You're like... extremely observant and methodical, I'm interested to see how that changes what you do.
Welcome to yet another! I know what it's like trying to relive that first time! hope you'll enjoy this playthrough, let me know your thoughts along the way!
@@LukaelPlays I will!
Hi 👋 starting to watch your blind playthrough, finish my game 2 years ago, dlc when it came up. Now watching blind runs. For my first impression you are pretty good, keep it up 👍 (fov is not that great but i think you fixed it). See you soon on 6'th series 👋
Great video, will enjoy watching the other videos. Never thought I will rock a Lets Play again, in 2023. :D
Found your channel when I was watching videos on outer wilds and I have never seen a small TH-camr be so good you're definitely the best small TH-camr that I've found and I think you should keep up the great work
Wow, thank you so much for this very kind comment!
Enjoying your playthrough a lot so far, I appreciate how thorough you are when combing through mysteries.
As for locking on, I think I know what's wrong - Are you trying to lock in by pressing the left shoulder button? The button prompt is actually for L3, or clicking on the left stick. Hope that helps, have fun!
Very happy you're enjoying it so far! I was indeed using L3 but it didn't work, however other people in the comments have mentioned ways to fix this bug, so will try that next time! Thank you for watching!
I know I'm late to this but it's super fun watching you play this game in your own way. Love your sense of humor.
Not late at all, I'm glad you're here! thanks for watching!
That was a nice, smooth landing! You may say it is hard to control the ship, but you are a "natural" ;)
Ahah thank you! I've only had to land it on a flat and stationary surface for now so we'll see how it goes in the future!
I am a Subnaut through and through so this game was recommended highly to me. I bought it on my Switch and tried the game... and for the life of me can't seem to figure out how to land the spaceship anywhere.
It can be a bit difficult to get used to the controls!
the 'enter lopper' lol :D love it
oops 😅
I've tried playing this game on my own so many times, but I always miss so much, and never actually get to finish the game because my progress always seemed to get reset towards the end of the game, so I am very excited to sit down and watch your let's play and see what happens :)
That's a shame, but I hope you'll enjoy experiencing it through my videos!
The only one who is an observer as opposed to participant when it comes to gravity is someone falling, as falling is just gravity pulling on someone, and we're constantly being pulled towards everything in the observable universe, even if moreso from our immidiate surroundings. Either way, it saying "0 Gs" whilst not directly on the ground is accurate.
_...also I don't think the suits can properly measure the gravity of what they aren't currently on..._
Glad to see another person join the Outer Wilds Ventures! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, you're doing great and your mindset for approaching this world is going to really help you. Keep it up! +1 subscriber
Thanks a bunch! happy to have you here!
1:04:20 time to talk to Chert at the twins
Greetings from a New Brunswick neighbour! Contente d’avoir trouvé un nouveau playthrough qui vaut la peine, j’ose espérer que tu feras le DLC !
Oh wow, hello voisine! 😄 Merci beaucoup de regarder mon playthrough, hope you enjoy! je ferai effectivement le DLC, ca commence ce vendredi! 😉 Laisse moi savoir ce que tu penses des autres épisodes!
I love this game so I'll watch this playthrough for sure. But something unrelated I wanted to say to you - you look like what I picture a typical Frenchman (or Quebecois) to be like. With the beret and black and white striped shirt.
LMAO welp enjoy the playthrough, your next baguette is on me!
The way you'r wondering what is so specific about the moment you wake up and why the purple light is taking of at that exact time is oddly the sexiest thing I've ever seen a man do
😳
@@LukaelPlays while you’re here thank you so very much for this series! Great way to live through this experience again 🤍
YES BOI LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks for recommending this to him man! Such a freaking classic. Also venom we miss you on TH-cam bro!
Just finished Subnautica here we gooooooooo
32:30
Controller bug, game window isn't focused, click into it with mouse or alt+tab so it's focused.
Easily the best game I've ever played
"...and I'm already terrified". Already looking forward to the, ehh, future... 🤣
So yeah, like the style. Subbed for the main game and the DLC. Maybe Death Stranding on the event horizon?
Check out YongYea's spoiler free review of it as it's kinda slow paced (especially during the tutorial area/10 hours), philosophical, deep, and not for everybody.
45:50 are you a nomai??? xD
Your field of view setting is lower than normal, which makes you (and us) lose so much vision. Mind setting it to the default value? (70 or 75)
I remember the default setting had a bit of fisheye effect to it which felt a bit weird to me, but I'll try and readjust it next time!
@@LukaelPlays You sure the fish eye effect wasn't just because of the tiny planets? xD
55:58 And thus the Ludonarrative dissonance is born.
I mean, later in this video (I'm assuming) the statue gets activated, but it's a 22 minute cycle, and you're starting back when you wake up. Could potentially have been fixed if you'd been told "I''ll let you know when the codes are ready", and then you're told them when you're by the fire. (Like an episode of Stargate SG-1 when the Colonel is eating Fruit Loops when a time loop is starting.) This game has you "wake up" at the start of each loop, which is more than twice the time up to just this point.
{That being said, I tried to avoid typos, but due to RL events I am making friends with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky at the moment. I will resume sometime tomorrow. **salutes** Tried to ensure no typos. Sorry if I missed some.}
56:48 Wait... You didn't recall the statue!?
I mean, I got an idea of what the BIG thing you'd likely recalled was, but the status is linked in with that.
Nice. This means more genuine reactions!
1:21:40 And now for the TH-cam overreaction, followed by the true reaction. :p (Glad you kept the footage!)
my favorite game
Gabbreaux
I fell asleep and he was still on timber hearth
Glad I could help you get some sleep! 😂
Ga-bro B)
lmao, the secret to working two jobs and uploading daily IS TO FUCKING BURNOUT :')
wouldn't recommend it :')
When you add text to the video, please leave it long enough so we can read it.
Weird take on the MC being an asshole. It’s basic banter. Probably a second language misunderstanding.
