Plebian Parasite posted:Talos is interesting in that even though its very similar the level flow feels completely the opposite. The Witness has you getting crushed by indecipherable puzzles in the beginning and crushing insane challenges at the end like it's nothing because you've mastered the mechanics. Talos starts you very simple and easily but the puzzles are ridiculous and intricate by the end. They're both good puzzle games but they have very different feels. well the witness has started a puzzle game fire in my heart so im gonna cop talos when i get paid and pwn it.

goferchan posted:yeah definitely reach that one because it mirrored my RL experience after playing. there's an easier/faster way to find it tho if you start a new save file and pay close attention at the beginning and apply what you know now i already did this

goferchan posted:nice. did you do the In The Hall Of The Mountain King area? if so then you beat as much as the game as i did, going for 100% seems loving crazy . also did you find the in-game map/progress tracker? it's the pond near the town, stuff appears in it as you discover things in-game correlating with their positions on the island if your talking about the challenge cave no i didnt. i saw it while doing the second ending but i didnt find how to get down to it and i read that its timed and frustrating and it sounds like something i dont want to do. and no i did not find the tracker, thats bad rear end

In Training posted:I stopped playing in the area with making the bridges in the treetops because the puzzles were too hard That was one of my favorite areas. Did you figure out (really mild puzzle spoilers) the thing where you have to solve the puzzles a certain way to make the bridges rotate in order to progress ?

goferchan posted:I solved it by changing the color settings on my TV and i'm still not sure if that was cheating lol The last puzzle before activating the laser @ Greenhouse I was stuck on for probably 10 hours total over the course of a couple weeks. Solving it was the best puzzle game feel I ever had.. Witness ftw

it pisses me off when sections have puzzles that deactivate when u do an incorrect solution. i mean i get the design reason to prevent brute forcing shiz but it was obnoxious a lot

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I did the greenhouse nearly first thing and kinda stumbled through it without understanding it. Like I assumed that the elevator was using some sort of pattern and just guessed the right things to go up. Looking back I was pretty lucky. This is similar to my experience. That was top 3 hardest zones for me

PleasingFungus posted:i got stuck on the second puzzle in the greenhouse for ages and left it nearly until last, but after i beat that, everything clicked and it was clear sailing for the rest of the area. sometimes that's just the way the apple crumbles! i played a lot of the game with a friend and we combined our brains to solve puzzles and stuff which was completely epic. and when we figured out what was going on in there and finally solved the puzzle we were stuck on, which one i dont remember, we wooted heavily and got told to keep it down in there.

In Training posted:I stopped playing the witness after like 2 hours because I didn't like it. Well, that's a shame. But at the same time trying to force your way through a game like that sounds like hell so I'm happy you no longer have that weight upon your shoulders despite how epic the weight is

In Training posted:Yeah...the reason I didn't like it really is because it felt like a puzzle game about learning rules. Once you learned the rules, the game itself was over and then you moved on. Contrasted with something like Picross, where the rules are known and simple, and it's a structure for repeatable actions and designed. I appreciate that there can be joy in learning rules like that but to me it felt like playing 15 different dark souls tutorial zones at once without a game behind it. This is insightful and valid criticism. But I still love the Witness.. can't help it

In Training posted:I do like that the game has a FMV of that scene in nostalghia where that guy carries a candle back and forth across an empty pool for 20 minutes to own everyone who found it despite seeing a video of that part online, not the actual scene mind you, but a youtube vid of someone watching it while in game, i still sat through the whole scene watching. art

In Training posted:You should watch the movie it came from its pretty good and also the worst Tarkovsky movie so everything else will be uphill for you I watched Stalker a few months ago and it was one of the most mesmerizing & interesting films I've ever seen so I plan on watching the rest Tarkovsky at some point or another. Solaris is next up I know that scene comes from nhostalgia(spelling) but are there any you think I should peep before the otheres. Thank you
