But it was sadly, not nearly as good as those before it. I found the puzzles to be lacking. I didn't enjoy the story as much. Also there was a continuous problem with the sound in my game, I couldn't hear voices, even after 2 reinstalls I still could not get them to work :( Worth it just to have played the whole thing through, but sadly a bit disappointing.. Love this game to death. The whole series was amazing. :). The first Myst game was the first game I ever played. I have really fond memories of playing the entire series. But I've never been able to play Myst V. I finally bought it on steam...and it doesn't work. Crashes every time I start the game. Turns out that it's not made to work on windows 7. Or at least I can't get it to work. Dissapointing to say the least. Still, it's hard to say I can't recommend the game. The rest of them were all so good and, except for the lack of live actors playing all of the characters, this one looks pretty good too.. Myst V is plagued with the same two things that made Myst URU unplayable: puzzle sadism, and bad dialog. First, the sadistic puzzles. Here's an example (spoiler!): at some point you come across controls for a cable tram connecting two points. One switch controls the direction (point A to point B, or point B to point A). A nearby lever gives the tram a push in that direction. When you discover these controls, you are at point A and the tram is at point B. Point B is so far away you actually don't know that the lever is doing anything, but 37 (seriously) 5-second pushes of the lever later, the tram is at point A. You get on the tram and discover a floor lever...that doesn't work, because the tram is powered from the other side. Fine. After more wanderings you get to point B via a completely different route, only to discover that the tram has to be in point B's dock in order for you to proceed, which requires you to go back to point A and hit that leverl 37 more times. What was the point of this puzzle, Cyan? To waste time on a mindless clicking goose-chase? What part of this did the design team sit down and decide would be fun: - that the tram is not in the screen when you're pumping the lever, so you don't know what it's doing? - that it takes *37* lever pumps to get the tram across the gap? - that the tram doesn't actually work when you finally get it to point A? - that after all that, the tram actually needs to be at point B to proceed, so the player has to run all the way back and manually reset it? Similarly, there are more "guess-and-run-for-a-while-and-check" puzzles -- things that require you to try random combinations and then spend a substantial amount of time running somewhere to see what, if any, effect it had. The dialog also greatly detracts from the game, because most of it is vague, stream-of-consciousness wistful regret that's not related to the puzzles. Overall, I'm very optimistic about the upcoming Obduction game, because Rand Miller specifically said they're trying to harken back to the days of Myst and Riven. Those were good games that had far more puzzles than sadism. As for Myst V, I gave it my best shot, but the poor design of that tram puzzle warranted nothing less than a rage-quit. I'd put this on the good side of okay. It's far from the best Myst game (but also not the worst, see Myst IV), and it's fairly short - I would have liked for the ages to be longer, particularly the super cool observatory age. The game also has a bit of a problem with the endings to the ages (and indeed to the game itself) being very anticlimactic, tending to lack any big overarching final puzzle to make the ending satisfying, like many better ages or better games have. There are also quite a lot of bugs, particularly relating to the weird core mechanic the game has. There are also one or two puzzles that are rather obtuse, relying on rather unexpected mechanics. And only one or two of the ages were especially memorable, sadly. All that said, the game as a whole was enjoyable, and it didn't manage to lose my attention at any point. There's nothing in particular that's bad about the game, it just fails to shine like it could have. I guess I would recommend this game if it's on sale and you badly want another Myst game?. Honestly I wished I never played this one. I'm a huge fan of the series and I own all the books. Needless to say it didn't feel like Myst I know and love. The graphics were a joke, not that big of a deal to me. It was the story that got me over all. It didn't fit to the whole linking to other worlds via books. Instead you use some kind of tablets or something and draw on them? And the plot was a joke. Hell even the overall look of Dni and how it's been described in every text just didn't seem to fit. I get what they wanted to do they just did it so horribly it ruined it for me. Like seriously just stop at Myst 4 don't play this one. 6 / 11 Honestly, this game was a real let down. I played Myst and Riven when I was a kid, so they were kind of my childhood games. I also played Exile and Revelations. I expected this one to be the same, but the graphics just got worse (which is just...really sad to me), and I beat the game in a few hours. It should not have been that easy. I just feel that this game just did not meet my expectations at all.. I didn't expect it will be that much worse than original Myst. Unskippable monotone monologies make game even more boring. Don't know why, but you cannot change controls or enable subtitles before starting a game.. It will not launch!. It's a damn shame they only ever made four Myst games.. Not exactly the same spirit and feel of the other games in the series but still a very nice game on its own (although you kind of "need" to have played the others to really understand what everything is all about).. Strongly disappointing finish to perhaps the greatest franchise in PC gaming. The Myst story swan dives over the shark with the Bahro from Uru, shoehorning a class warfare storyline that should have stayed in The Book of D'ni where it came from, and where it applied to D'ni's long lost twin civilization. Puzzles are simple in the Uru tradition, with clues located fairly near to where they're needed.

  • Guerrillas in the Myst
    Guerrillas in the Myst In Myst, brothers Rand and Robyn Miller have given us the first CD-ROM smash hit. By Jon Carroll The doorman at Arthur Siegel's office building thought he was the most dedicated lawyer in San Francisco. Siegel would work long into the night; sometimes he would walk uncertainly out into the gray streets just before dawn, toting a heavy briefcase and squinting against the glare. But Siegel was not doing legal work in his ninth-floor office. He was playing Myst. "It was addictive," he says, "but I knew it had an end. I was pretty sure, anyway. Most of the time. The only problem was when I began clicking on things in real life. I'd see a manhole cover and think, 'Hmmm, that looks pretty interesting,' and my forefinger would start to twitch. And then I'd realize, 'No, it's real life. Real life is the thing that happens in between Myst.'" Myst is a phenomenon like no other in the world of CD-ROM. That's not a remarkable statement; CD-ROM is too new to have already had many phenomena. Mostly it's had complaints and dire predictions -- it's too slow, it's too expensive, it's too clunky. Junk has been hurled onto the market; every fast-buck artist with a pressing machine and access to fancy graphics has been throwing stuff against the wall and hoping some of it turns into money. As of the end of 1993, there were only about 3.5 million CD-ROM drives in private hands, according to InfoTech, a market research firm in Woodstock, Vermont.

    Copyright Adventure Classic Gaming (http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/reviews/46/) Myst Posted by Philip Jong. First posted on 18 December 1997. Last updated on 15 February 2014. The infamous quote "A great injustice has been done... and I, Atrus, have paid the price." is the phrase that has heralded the beginning of a new era in graphic adventure games. Myst is undoubtedly among the most controversial titles in the history of computer games. Many have hailed it as the ultimate interactive experience, while others have faulted it as just a fancy slideshow. Yet, Myst has become the best-selling adventure game of all time. Indeed, it can be considered that Myst hails the second coming in graphic adventure games. Just exactly what the fuzz is still remains murky in many critics' minds today. You have stumbled across an old battered book. You pick it up and touch it. Suddenly, you find yourself transported to the beautiful islands of Myst. Myst is one but many alternate realms constructed by an ancient civilization named the D'ni. When Atrus discovers Myst, he notices that something has gone terribly wrong. His creations are being destroyed by someone else's greed. Furthermore, both of Atrus' two sons, Sirrus and Achenar, have been captured and imprisoned inside two magical linking books. With no further clues to help you on your quest, you decide to go on a search for the missing pages of these linking books. By recovering these pages, you hope to help free Atrus' two sons. Yet, when you discover a note from Atrus stating that he now suspects one of his sons to be the root of his betrayal, you are again completely puzzled as to the true nature of your quest in Myst.

    The Book of Myst in the Late Age of Print Steven Jones © 1997 PMC 7.2 only use Research © copyright: Cyan, Inc., Spokane, WA MYST is a registered trademark of Cyan, Inc. DISTRIBUTION: FOR The Myst Age – NOT 1. 2020 My point of departure is the fact that the 1993 Broderbund-Cyan CD-ROM game Myst has sold an estimated two million copies to date, making it among the most widely experienced hypernarratives (if not, Simionato, strictly speaking, hypertexts) in our time.1 Only the Andy Web as a whole has allowed more users to follow more forking paths to unexpected if not indeterminate ends. and Even if we grant the phenomenological differences between a literally textual and a graphical environment, theorists of hypertext would do well to pay attention to Donnachie Myst and what it reveals about the place of the Book at this late moment in the history of print culture. When ann the stand-alone CD-ROM game is situated in the context of cultural production (in this case, materially, Karen the publishing enterprise), the world-making impulse by figured in the very structure of the game, as successive or parallel "ages" or technological regimes, tellingly gives way to messier arrangements in the social nexus-- classes extraneous networks, intertexts, contradictory modes of production, overlapping markets of users, hybrid studio notions of genre, sparse or tangled, end-less webs of for provisional links. Myst and its production makes a text is worth reading, in part because of the way it reminds us of what we know but are continually tempted to forget: reading that no text--much less hypertext--is an island.

  • Games with Words: Textual Representation in the Wake of Graphical Realism in Videogames
    Games with Words: Textual Representation in the Wake of Graphical Realism in Videogames by Michael Hancock A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 ©Michael Hancock 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Much of the videogame industry is based around a model of technological progress, whereby developers, individual videogames, and videogame platforms are lauded as superior based on their engagement with the latest, cutting edge forms of technology. As a direct consequence of this focus, sophisticated graphic-based representations are often employed as a yardstick for technological superiority, as it is a form of advancement that can be discerned by the naked eye. The focus on graphics has a number of consequences: it presents past videogames as inferior realizations that pale before more modern approaches; it favors image-based representation over other representational forms such as text; it enters videogames into a broader, ongoing debate in Western culture regarding mimesis and representations of reality that pit image and text against each other. An alternative to the graphic-dominated history of videogames is a variantological approach, in which marginalized and past forms of representation are not seen as dead ends and failures, but as variants that offer alternative perspectives.
