Outer Wilds

Mickeroo

I found the easiest way to land on it was

basically crash into the tail where the stranded noami ship is so you are in its gravity well. Then lightly boost around to the front where the crack melts.

Its not the landing I had diffculty with,

its the fact that the ice didn't physically melt! the last 2 times I tried it, the ice only melted on the approach where it hit the sun.

Oh,

it actually melts every time it gets closer to the sun and then refreezes i believe. At the start of a loop, head straight for it and stand on the ice while it heads to the sun early on. If you miss it, just stay on until it's next orbit [/spiller]

ah that makes more sense, I was assuming that it didn't go until its final orbit bought it close to the sun.

I found it very tricky to see where I was supposed to go there, I knew what I was meant to do and when just struggled to see the hole.

Completely lost in this game. I'm just wandering around each planet translating things, is that the entire game? Feel like I'm missing something. If it won so many awards it can't be it.

The end game is to

stop the loop from happening

. The translations describe why the loop happens and points you to new clues. Check the log on your ship. Translations can provide updates there with question marks and advise where you need to be looking next to make progress.

Keep exploring things you haven't found yet. The story and direction will reveal itself to you. If aren't enamored by the exploration, maybe the game isn't for you.

Out on Steam today for anyone who was holding off.

Just to reiterate: it is the best game.

Any idea what time this will be available to buy at? Do you know if it supports ultrawide?

I'm guessing at 1800, aka 9am PST or so.

Ah, to have the wonders of Outer Wilds ahead of you to discover

Yes go in blind, lame and what ever else keeps you from knowing what to expect or knowing about what the game is. Just play it.

At the end of this , seems to be a bug regarding the teleport to the ash twin core I seemed to be just getting sucked up but the sand have reached this before but it's not consistent? Read online that other people are finding it buggy too?

Aw man you're at a great bit. So, you do just like the below but sometimes you go to the planet instead of the core? I found out hard to do first few times but then managed it consistently after that. Would be annoying of a bug made it random.

Yeah I have done it three or more times I am at the end loop now , getting warp drive etc etc. But sometimes when the ash rainfall let's call it goes over it sucks me up to ember twin , and other times it teleports me , maybe my timing is off but jesus it's ruined the end game for me with frustration more than anything .

Also they have put a cactus near the doorway under the bridge so I resorted to parking my ship on the broken roof to act as a roof and that worked twice.

One of the times actually

got to the ship in d bramble past the anglerfish and the fecking sun went supernova

23rd time have clicked on this thread thinking it was Outer Worlds.

Rather amusingly, the writer for Outer Wilds was hired by Obsidian, and has now written for the Outer Worlds DLC.

I remember owning Outer Worlds and liking it but trading it for something else that came out after just reaching the 2nd planet. This news is tempting me to pick it back up.

Also, just in case people haven't sen it, the making of No Clip doc is brilliant.

Also gave up on Outer Worlds very quickly. I feel like I've played it before. FPS with RPG mechanics isn't a great mix imo.

I'm not sure it was a problem with the mix of mechanics, after all the hype it just felt like a retread of Fallout. Just got bored around the second planet.

Wilds was superb though.

I remember feeling iffy about it before even taking off in my ship. Got into space and didn't have a clue what I was supposed to be doing. Headed to the closest object, the Attlerock moon, found a couple of things there and became hooked.
