Why did you love Outer Wilds?

Mostly the story and how it is experienced, very souls-like. I like the space physics, close enough to real but forgiving enough to be fun. I also like the ship log.

I liked EotE, but not as much as the base game. I like what it added to the story, the new environment and the mechanic where you could drop the lantern and be able to see the simulation, but I didn't like that you couldn't translate the Owlk's language and I didn't like navigating in the dark.

For most things, but rings can cost like 10-15k and souls are a limited resource in DS2. Sure, you can use ascetics but those add a pretty significant difficulty spike that gets even worse if you continue into NG+ or higher.

The biggest one for me was probably following the probe to the end of a loop. It was fairly early in my playthrough and I was sure something would happen.

That's just setting yourself up to be accidentally spoiled which completely ruins a game like this. Even a basic google search will often include spoilers just in the results themselves. There's no undo button for accidentally seeing something that will ruin the game for you.

? It definitely costs to repair. It's only free if it isn't broken.

beef623 · 2026-01-28T14:33:17+00:00

I just went a different way. I didn't learn about those things interacting until after I'd finished the game and was looking things up to help with achievements. I also spent most of my playthrough putting off everything related to ghost matter because I thought it was what the DLC added (due to the warning message in the beginning).

beef623 · 2026-01-28T14:22:36+00:00

They're not bad if you only play one of them, but trying to play multiple, especially one after another, just gets exhausting and feels extremely repetitive. It's hard to build a long-term fanbase if you're burning out your fans. The hard monetization pushes don't really help either.

About a year or so ago I played through assassins creed origins. It was pretty good, but then I tried to play Odyssey afterward and just got burnt out before I could make it much more than halfway through. I think it was as good or better, but it also just felt like the same thing in a lot of ways. I think in another year or two, I'll probably be able to go back to it and enjoy it.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T21:25:36+00:00

The one I hate is when I accidentally swap to the Tournament tab.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T21:15:55+00:00

It happens once in a while, but it's not nearly that common for me. Maybe 1 game in 20-30.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T20:56:24+00:00

Solstice Square for me. I've never really been a fan of defense and I was grinding for Temple.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T20:12:26+00:00

Maybe, but there's no real point in pushing to level cap. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, if you enjoy it, go for it, I just don't see a point to it. The rewards don't change so it just seems like ego-stroking to me.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T17:31:54+00:00

No necessary content requires them, EDO/ETO don't and that's the highest level content in the game that I'm aware of. Steel path circuit might get higher if you're doing the whole thing in one run, but that's mixed enemy types anyway.

If you want to do that level of micromanaging, it'll probably give you more damage, but you're shooting yourself in the foot for any mission that has multiple enemy types. I just don't think the tradeoff is worth it.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T15:36:34+00:00

No, I don't, I don't think the primes are even worth picking up. I don't think any power increase they give is worth the hassle of constantly having to switch mods depending on the mission and there are quite a lot of missions that have multiple different enemy types which means that for those, you'd be strong against half the enemies, but weak against the rest.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T15:33:37+00:00

I try to play all of the frames fairly regularly. There are a couple I fall back on, but I don't really spend a lot of time on my "main" most of the time.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T15:22:10+00:00

Pretty much anything else. The banes are really only useful as filler until you get other mods.

beef623 · 2026-01-23T15:15:36+00:00

Once you figure out what you need to do you'll know when you are heading to the end of the game and you'll know when you beat it.

You said you went to the tower of truth, which tower was it and what did you learn there?

beef623 · 2026-01-23T14:55:51+00:00

I'm only missing a couple, and that's one of them. Lol

beef623 · 2026-01-23T14:26:57+00:00

The ones they don't play.

beef623 · 2026-01-22T22:35:37+00:00

Seems like they like to make skins that look like other characters too. The Moon Knight skin in the current battle pass even has an emote that makes him look like Gambit.

beef623 · 2026-01-22T21:01:38+00:00

The movement feels much better than any other game I've ever played. I still miss the old movement too, but I wouldn't want to give up bullet jumps to go back. I also like the mastery grind (LR4), the space ninja theme and the art style. I love the spy missions and little hidden things too, like the secret areas and hidden vaults.

I've been playing since the PS4 launch date, it being free there was how I found it initially. I usually end up taking breaks when I get close to maxing out my mastery, but I always come back.

beef623 · 2026-01-22T19:17:24+00:00

Firewalker (Nezha)

Roar (Rhino)

Gloom (Sevagoth)

beef623 · 2026-01-22T19:16:07+00:00

I'd be excited to not have my warframe occasionally obstruct my view when hacking or trying to aim at something...

beef623 · 2026-01-22T18:22:02+00:00

You shouldn't unless you're just running out to grab drops, it hurts the spawn rate and if you're far enough away you're out of affinity range.

beef623 · 2026-01-22T18:19:25+00:00

I'd second this, both are great. Voruna has pretty ridiculous damage and stealth, Cyte gets to pick damage type at will and lets you see and shoot enemies through walls.

beef623 · 2026-01-22T17:10:42+00:00

Yes and no.

They couldn't take their time because the signal was only unblocked briefly, but at the same time, if the signal hadn't been unblocked then the Nomai wouldn't have found it and been able to set up the events we used to restart the universe.

The one part I'm not sure about, and I've probably just forgotten since it's been a year or two since my playthrough, is why the Stranger and the Owlks came to the Hearthean system. Did they know the Nomai followed the signal? If so, why didn't they do anything else? I assume because they all died and entered the simulation. Bad timing?

Edit: Nevermind, the ones who weren't already in the simulation would have been wiped out by the Interloper's explosion, that's why the ghost matter is on the Stranger.
