#D'ni Proverb
LiM needs your help! Are any of our followers big CSS nerds?
I personally really liked revelations. I admit that the myst feel was different but I liked it because it was the most realistic one. I also liked going through the minds and worlds of Sirrus and Achenar, Exile and Riven are my favorite though
I’ve seriously been stuck on that colour cloud part in Dream for over a week now. It’s a pretty solid motivation-killer, especially given the fact that you can never see all of the clouds at once so you just can’t plan a good way to do it, 80% of it is just getting fucking lucky, and it literally has zero connection to anything (comparatively to most of the other puzzles at least being things that the brothers were supposed to have built). Ubi Soft just tossed it in there.
The Mad Max series actually makes a great analogy for the Myst series if you think about it.
Mad Max/Myst - Um, YES
Road Warrior/Riven - HOLY FUCHKLUTJYTDGFNC„JN
Beyond Thunderdome/Exile - Yeah, this is still pretty damn sweet
Fury Road/Revelation - Well. That was just unnecessary.
(Okay, so that analogy actually doesn’t work unless you exclude End of Ages and Uru entirely (although I’m not bothering to redo it, ‘cause I might as well exclude them, I haven’t played them)—and also you have to assume the new Mad Max movie is gonna suck ‘cause it’s not out yet to judge, so maybe it won’t be as needless as Revelation seems to be. Hopefully.)
Okay, so I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for the last few weeks, but I'm not sure if it'll make great tumblr posts--would anyone like to read a Myst spec script?
(Related: Anyone wanna go back and forth on the logistics of how a book could stay intact after falling through space, Earth's atmosphere, etc. so that someone plausibly can find it in the first place?)
I love your blog man, I grew up with myst and I still play them in my spare time :)
Hey thanks! I also grew up with Myst (in case that’s not obvious) and I still love to roam around Riven, especially since Cyan ported it to iOS (Riven in my pocket, 24/7? Absolutely irreplaceable).
Since starting this blog, though, I actually started playing Revelation for the first time, too, and when I started, I was thinking I might post journal entries as I played, but goddamn, this one is just so bad… Much worse than I thought it’d be. I might do a review post or something once I’m done, that may be interesting, but journal entries would just be, “Fuck. This is both dumb, and stunningly awkward to control for literally zero reason. Why does this amulet even exist, if you wanna do voice-overs, just do it, who the shit has ever said they wished they could play a game that involved staring at the ground and listening to audio clips. WHAT THE FUCK ARE PROTECTORS AND IF THEY DO PROTECT SHIT, WHAT MAKES SERENIA SO SPECIAL IT GETS LIKE 30 OF THEM WHILE RIVEN HAD, HMM, LET ME SEE, ZERO.”
Do itttttttttttt, I'm building a giant pile for the queue right now!
