Enjoying your playthrough because you’re not running through it and actually taking the time to look at things…! (my macbook pro’s too old to play it 😞) And also nice to hear an Australian like myself who’s played it before going through it 🙂 Are you going to keep going with the playthrough?

Thanks so much! Yeah I hope too.. I’m currently “editing” the next part. Just got super busy with irl stuff. So it’s been pushed to the back a bit. But should have more time now to edit. So I’m hopeful next week or the one after the video will be out!

Now that a Riven remake has been released where you can play in 3d or VR maybe we will see Exile get a remake in a few years as well.

This game has such a niche nostalgia for me. My teacher spent half the school year letting us play it instead of normal lessons when I was 9/10 and it was an experience. I love this game so much.

I just prefer the 360 nodes, prerendered graphics myst 3 and 4 had.
@Welther4723 күн бұрын
I want more games with the 360 node, prerendered, point and click gameplay. I never really liked the 3D versions (myst 5), and Uru was just a bit of a pain, control-wise, to play.

38:15 the orange rings are heaters, because riven water has bacteria that makes it repel from heat (i guess the big boiler filters/kills the bacteria)

Riven may be the best Myst game, but Exile is a great vibe, basically like Myst 1 for gameplay. I was able to complete all of exile at age 7 except for the Narayan puzzle

the boiler is for creating paper pulp that gehn uses to make paper for books. the minecart takes the wood from jungle island and dumps it into the woodchipper to prepare it for the boiler. the pipe you're walking through is the drain of the boiler. pretty much nothing in the game is there for no reason, it's nuts

@gbilo24Ай бұрын
Riven might have better graphics. I think the game is way too complicated and poorly indicated. You spend lots of time going from place to place only to get lost and some of the riddles require you to just try everything. Still a very good game, but very frustrating at times. And that's why I don't like it that much.

Obduction, also from Cyan, was full 3D and still used FMVs for characters and holograms. They were actually pretty neat, and seemed to be in stereoscopic 3D when playing Obduction in VR.

@stilldreamy5181Ай бұрын
For a remake that mostly looks even more realistic and beautiful than the original, to start you out with a very cartoony looking Atrus just shows how bad of a move this was. It completely takes you out of the experience and makes you feel like you are watching some stupid kids cartoon. The movement of his lips don't even match the words coming out of his mouth. Couldn't they have had FMV or like real human textures displayed on top of the 3D model or something like that? They really should have learned their lesson and at least given the option to see FMV. Not everyone is playing this in VR. Then immediately after that when I start walking around, everything is shimmering strangely. The stuff on that island in the distance, the rails going over the ocean, the moving shadows of the moving grass on the ground right next to me. So because everything else looks so amazing, it these strange bits just stand out to me even more and pull me out of the experience.
@stilldreamy5181Ай бұрын
Ok I fixed the shimmering. For some reason it kept changing the "super sampling quality" to the very bottom "ultra performance". But now for some reason its actually staying at "quality" when I set it to that.

Also, the screenshot tool is retarted. It captures the images blurry, not the same as what you see on the screen, and can end up making the clues unreadable when you go to reference it in the screen shot later.

I actually really liked Myst III, perhaps because Brad Dourif is a great character actor and it progressed Atrus's story. Some of the puzzles were oddly implemented, but I still have a pretty soft place in my heart for this one. To be fair, I'm a sucker for any Myst related content, so perhaps I'm not the most objective person on this ...
@cursedblakeАй бұрын
Haha I feel the same on the objectiveness of my opinion on myst games. At the moment I’m super into them due to riven remake. To the point that I kinda want to revisit myst and myst 3 again soon… they are so much fun and I find myself not really caring that I know the solutions to the puzzles I just love the vibe of the games

I agree about the FMV and the linking book-which I wonder if they did because they felt that they didn't have the resources to make burning look good in a 3D environment? Though I believe there were creative workarounds they could've explored, such as making the burning effect either 2D or have the transition burn toward the inside of the link rather than toward the player. As for FMV, maybe by next version they can use ML for 3D characters.
