Completed this game earlier and loved it so much that I decided to do all the fun and possible-sounding achievements and I did those and then ended up doing most of the rest as well because I love it so much. Now the only one I have left is Hotshot which is a horrible hell spawn that I despise. Have any goons completed it and could give any info? I just end up slingshotting past it.

I found it useful to not try to aim AT the station, because it's a very fast-moving target that's changing direction constantly. Instead, get yourself in an orbit around the sun, moving in the same direction as the station (it's okay if you're nowhere near it at first). Gradually tune your orbit to match the station's and before you know it it'll look like the station is practically stationary relative to you. Also note that you won't be landing your ship on the station - instead you just get close and then pop out of the hatch and fly into it with your jetpack.

Just finished this, what a gem. I never figured out how to get to the sixth location or the easy way to get to the sun station but everything else was great to pick at and explore. Majora's Mask is one of my favorite games and it's so rare that someone uses that model at all, let alone this effectively.Triarii posted:I found it useful to not try to aim AT the station, because it's a very fast-moving target that's changing direction constantly.

Yeah, you have to play this bit like it's  - get into an orbit first, rendezvous later. Aim to fly just past the edge at a decent clip and slow down at the point of closest approach; if you do this right you fall into a circular path around it. Look at the sun and lock on so you can track your approaching/receding velocity and correct it with thrusters. If you stabilize into a roughly circular orbit at 2500-3000 meters out the station will gradually catch up and pass below you, you should then be able to push yourself towards it. You can even set up a real rendezvous by thrusting retrograde for a moment when the station is approaching so you start falling towards it. Make sure you do this all in the plane of the station's orbit so the corrections are easier to make.

Yeah it’s a great part of the game, actually a bit surprising how optional it is but you definitely want to see it for yourself. Ask for a hint if you’re stuck, you don’t want to miss it

God this game is so cool. any small frustration I felt at any individual time like getting physicsed somewhere I didn’t want to go, forgetting to put on my space suit, or that obtuse thing I couldn’t figure out just can’t blot out the shine of what a wonderful journey it was, and I wish I could forget it all and do it again

I've been playing this game and I am really enjoying it, but I find myself really running out of steam towards the end (I think I'm towards the end). I'm not sure if I have it in me to finish it, although I want to. Spoilers to follow: I've explored all of the home planet (I think), got almost everything in Brittle Hollow except for some missing bits in the hanging city including the black hole forge (tbh exploring the city drives me nuts because it is really hard for me to tell what I have already explored vs. what I haven't), explored all of the water planet, and right now I'm spending time on Ember/Ash Twin but man, the time limit thing is really grinding my gears. It is a really cool plot device and I love how it frames both the story and the gameplay, but exploring Ember Twin and dealing with the time limit is really tedious. I made my way towards a large underground cave city within Ember Twin, but after two loops exploring it, I feel myself running out of steam to deal with the time limit. I haven't explored Dark Bramble at all yet. I've explored The Interloper a little bit. I haven't made my way to the quantum moon yet. I've actually only explored one of the quantum towers (there are three, right?). I am beginning to put together the pieces of the story / what happened, but I'm not fully there yet. I think I have met all the other explorers besides Feldspar. I guess I'm hoping for someone to convince me to finish the game. I do think the game is great, I absolutely love the atmosphere and mood and graphics and story, but I am finding it hard to keep up momentum. How much left do I have to do? What should I focus on?

Ember Twin is probably the toughest planet to fully explore because its deepest layers fill up so fast. What you really need is to find the shortcut that leads to the fastest route into the city. It's a small hole near the Gravity Cannon. It's really hard to spot from the outside if you don't know it's there. To find it, go back to the city via the normal route and follow the signs toward the cannon. You'll pop right out of the hole. Keep on going, you've still got tons of cool stuff ahead.

Wait, is it a shortcut where you have to jump outside of a hole? Like if you're going out from the city, the final step requires you to jetpack through a hole? If so I think I found it without realizing what it was. Do you have any tips for finding everything in the Hanging City? I have explored that place so many times but the rumor map still says there is more to explore. Not sure what I'm missing. Maybe it has to do with me not having found the Black Hole Forge yet.

It's probably something as simple as a sign on a doorway you haven't read yet. I'd suggest you consult your computer and try to go to new places, rather than spending a lot of time on "completing" the ones you've visited. The mystery's designed to be solvable in many different orders, so there's a fair bit of redundancy.

Ohhh, that's what the forge is. I've seen the building, but still not sure how to access it. Don't believe I've found the forge's controls either. Part of the problem is I find navigating the hanging city very disorienting. I'll feel like I made my way into a new area, but then end up realizing I actually explored it three loops ago.

Yeah, I am getting better at just carrying on in the game and trying new things once I feel like I am not making any progress.

I had to look up the solution for getting inside of ember twin what what what i said ember twin ! booya long block of text at the end of the game. I thought they did an extremely poor job signposting that when everything else in the game was such a perfectly vague-but-not-too-vague clue. Sucks cause all of my momentum exploring completely dried up at that part for literally 4+ hours cause I had done literally everything else. Figured out everything else no problem

The shortcuts to the cities are such that you're super unlikely to find them while outside, but on the other hand theyre actually pretty easy to find when you're inside as long as you follow the signs and that's pretty awesome. I played and finished the game three weeks ago and I had no trouble figuring everything out (although i understand they had to patch in some clues). Reading the thread was pretty interesting because for example I never had the fish problem that plagued so many. The quantum moon was my favorite part (but I'd be hard pressed to find a part I didn't like).

What is the "easy" way to get to the Sun Station? I only ever flew there because the teleporter on Ash Twin looked like it was clogged with cactus and inaccessible.

You can either get to it early before the sand drains and walk over the cacti or just get good at platforming.

The teleporter is clogged by cactuses but because of the rising sand you can time it so you can just walk between them. The window is just a few seconds, though. One game that is kinda like Outer Wilds is Reventure - it has the same concept where you start at the same spot and explore the world until you die (or find one of the 100 different endings), and your knowledge of the game world is how you "level up". In contrast, there is no forced time limit, certain endings introduce changes in the game world, and there are lots of tools you can use, but there are also disadvantages to picking up tools, so it's a balancing act.

It's probably harder to do that with K&M, though.

This worth getting now or is it really short and better off waiting for a holiday sale? "How does one present a narrative story in a game while still giving the player full interactivity and choice to experience said narrative at any pace, and in any order they wish, without completely spoiling and rendering incoherent the story that you want to tell?" This game solves that question. Judge for yourself if wanting to know how it achieves this is worth the asking price, or the price it will presumably be in the christmas sale. Before you purchase, though, please bear the following in mind: It involves absolutely no combat whatsoever. Gordon Freeman you are not - this is the game that actually is revolutionary in the way everyone was praising Half-Life years ago for being, when Half-Life itself was absolutely not that thing (it was just a good-for-it's-time action-FPS). In this, you are a scientist and an explorer, at the mercy of the universe you live in. There are also no branching dialect paths that drastically change the way things unfold, no Mass Effect-style talking-head conversations, no voice acting even. It's still brilliant. In my opinion? loving buy the thing right the gently caress now. Do it. Now. Get the credit card out if needs be. You might die in a freak accident next week. Make sure you die having played this game. (I haven't played Disco Elysium yet but it's on my wishlist.)
