Joseph Anderson's Echoes of the Eye Supercut

[@dragonfluf]

[@spoodermattie7546]

@@comfybaguette the whole point of the game is that you can figure this stuff out on your own. The only one that's not really reasonable to guess is jumping during the loading sections. But thinking "what if I leave the artifact and walk away from it" is a logical question to ask if you think about it a while. Yeah you´re "supposed" to visit the archives and see all the intact slides, but that's because they give you the story of what actually happened with the Owlks. I find it ridiculous that people think that Joe figuring out the solutions to the puzzles by experimentation and trial and error ruined it for him somehow because it deprived him of the "better reveal" (the game literally giving you the answer in a boring slide showing you an error message)

[@SubSxnic.]

@@spoodermattie7546 I actually did guess the jumping off one, (it was the only one I did figure out by myself). I was running out of things to do and could clearly see that it was a loading zone cause I play a lot of games and was basically just trying to see if I could break the game because it looked like the water had deloaded, then I fell down and was like wow that’s crazy your supposed to do that

[@HarryS77]

Considering how much of an anti-game or meta-game Echoes is, it makes sense that it'd be perfect for Joe. It's designed to teach the player to treat the game as a game (and not a story) and to break its mechanics, and that's what Joe likes to do anyway.

[@bananatheo3796]

As a person who went through this DLC in the linear way without accidentally skipping or figuring things I wasn't supposed to at any point, It amazes me to no end how someone can even possibly figure out SO MANY of this DLC's puzzles by accident, like i've seen some people sequence break before, but this is to a point where they miss HUGE parts of the DLC. I personally enjoyed this DLC more than the base game *because* of it's linearity so when people skip big parts of it and then say they didn't like it as much, I can't help but wonder if them skipping possibly hurt their experience of the game. (By the way when I call the DLC linear, I don't mean it just tells you what to do at every step. I just mean it tells you what you need to work out a puzzle when you need it so you can figure stuff out in the correct order.)

[@benji-menji]

What a hot yet true take. Despite many people preferring the freedom of the base game, sometimes we need to remind ourselves as developers that some people want a start to finish experience without the risk of breaking the game they are playing with what they want to do.

[@veggiesnake4430]

No, I completely agree. As someone who (like everyone else here) wants to vicariously relive my first experience of this game through Supercuts like this one, watching someone sequence break their way through such a narratively rich game is simultaneously frustrating and heartbreaking. It gets even worse when they then knock the game for 'not making sense' when they're the ones responsible, either for simply ignoring the developers' breadcrumbs and trying to muddle through, or actively attempting to circumvent the intended narrative structure. I've seen people do this and then say that they didn't enjoy the DLC. I've seen people do this and even tell their audience not to bother playing the DLC. But I think the thing that gets me the most is that I've seen people do this, celebrate their ability to 'find their own path', and then quote: "There's no wrong way to play a game." As someone who loves games like Outer Wilds, Return Of The Obra Dinn, Chants Of Sennaar, The Case Of The Golden Idol; all games which encourage the player to explore and unravel the mystery of the game's story, I've come to believe that there IS a wrong way to play a game. Of course, people can play however they want, but video games don't just randomly happen, they're painstakingly crafted by countless hardworking developers who work towards an intended vision for YEARS. There IS an _intended_ way to play the game and experience the story and there ARE ways to play that render the story ineffective, the same way novels are meant to be read left to right (in English, anyway). Ultimately, if your way to play the game is detrimental to the narrative, then I think you are playing the game incorrectly, intentional or not.

[@BananaWasTaken]

I definitely think the prisoner’s vision hits harder if you see the owlks’ jamming the eyes signal in one of the secret archives. And the reel showing them destroying their own home also explains why the owlks are so miserable and mournful about their home. So I do think that going to 2 of the 3 secret archives is important for enjoying the story of the game.

[@That_Awesome_Guy1]

Same. I ended up playing it exactly the order intended and it was fantastic. Watching everyone else play it and having them miss things is sad.

[@clockwork_mind]

Really shows you just how robust the writing is, for the ending to still mostly hold up in the worst possible scenario. Still much easier to watch than Jerma's playthrough.

[@SupremeDP]

I'll make sure to avoid Jerma's one like the plague then, thanks, lmao. I barely got through this one.

[@atkvin]

​@@SupremeDPI didn't think Jerma's was anywhere near as catastrophic as Joe breaking and figuring out everything out of sequence. I think there was one or two points he didn't quite get the plot? But from my hazy memory his was plenty enjoyable

I’m never, never, never going to get over one of my favorite let’s-players hearing the Prisoner’s triumphant cry and saying, “Yeah. This must be pretty devastating for you.” They completely misread the entire scene and ended up hating the ending and retroactively disliking the entire DLC because of it. It was really sad, and I’m so glad to have this wild, wacky, and wonderful Joe playthrough to cheer me up ❤

[@lazyratto]

Sing how many people lost their save form for just some reason started a new one for this DLC, i feel like they should have added an option once you start the DLC, asking of youve completed the original game, and if you say yes, it'll unlock and the visions for the ending. I dunno, something. Seeing people miss out on those missing parts of the ending because of a lost save is sad

[@casedistorted]

yeah that happened to me too because my old epic games save file was 100%, but my steam save file was not 100% so i missed a lot of visions I didn't know about with the DLC I got on Steam because F Epic.

I’m very sus of the playthrough since Joe happened to do a lot of sequence breaking in very specific ways that are on brand for him, but it’s evident if you watch playthroughs from some of his other games that he often gets spoiled but then hides it. There’s several times in other games where he knows stuff he cannot know yet so clearly let it slip that he’s been spoiled or went out of his way to look things up. I can’t remember which playthroughs exactly, but I think AITSF was one of them. Joe’s attitude can be really fun but it makes it impossible to take him seriously when he criticises things.
