I always thought it would be funny if The Stranger opened both books and faced them toward each other once there were enough pages for the image to be clear
"You spaghetti!"
"You noodle!"
"You nincompoop!"
"You nitwit!"
😆 And then the screen slowly fades and the credits roll.
I know it's crass of me, but I wondered how they'd react if there was no contact for a few years, then one day the book opens but it's a naked guy with his junk filling the entire screen.
"Aachnar, is that y- OH JESUS CHRIST"
@@judyhopps9380 The game would have to be rated Ao
i believe there is a patch for restoring the original full-motion video, those animated characters give me the creeps
It goes dark because the lighthouse is siphoning power from your VR set!
There was a lighthouse time limit in the original PC game but this feels way faster than it was back then. I'm pretty sure as a kid it lasted at least 5 minutes for me. I know I said the lighting in this age gives me Amateria vibes and you yourself have said it. But for me at least Stoneship feels . . . depressing. I guess knowing the boys on the rocks either died or left, it feels abandoned. Like a person has been living here and this is the first day he or she wakes up alone. They're looking out and realize everyone they knew are gone forever and it's just them now. Which is odd because Amateria's lighting and music felt optimistic. It felt more like you're not alone for much longer, and that people are returning.
I don't know, that's just the feel I get.
I won't spoil it for any viewers watching for the first time, but I'm a little concerned what that thing in Achenar's room in Mechanical is going to look like. (Everyone who's played knows exactly what I'm talking about.)
I spun it a bunch and it didn't deplete by the time I got the pages, turned on the boat power, and left.
They last about three or four minutes I think, which (using full motion, not teleport) is easily long enough to go up to the telescope, line it up, go down to the compass and hit the button.
I got it first try so I didn't test if this changed, but in the original version if you hit the wrong button on the compass it will instantly drain as well.
Edit: looks like Sven tested this one for us, and yes, it still drains when you hit the wrong button. :)
spookily enough, my building had a power outage at the exact moment when you commented on the lighting blackout with the battery. too immersive!
breaking the fourth wall... TO THE MAX
I think Atrus managed to make the boat appear due to quantum physics.
No, really. As much as the Descriptive Book cares, if a boat isn't written in there, it might actually exist, similar to how the boys did exist, even though Atrus never wrote them in. It's stuff that's between the lines. The reason the boat's not there is not because it isn't there. It might be, you just don't see it. If you're not looking, there may be a boat in there. That's how this stuff kinda works, when you're not looking at it, it exists and it doesn't exist at the same time. That's how physicists managed to explain how electrons could act like both particles and waves. Difference is, randomness decided that the boys would exist, and that the boat wouldn't, at least for now.
When Atrus wrote the boat into the Age, then it was clearly stated that the boat was there, and it stopped being only in the quantum realm of existance/non-existance. Problem is, he didn't specify how the boat would appear, and of course, the boat could've existed in many ways, on the water, on top of the rock, or embedded in it. Randomness chose the latter. That's probably one of the main reasons why the Art is so dangerous and so difficult to master.
Gosh, my Dad and I played the original Myst when I was a kid. We could never figure out the compass puzzle (I did figure it out years later though) and every time we tried pushing a button, it would cut the lights off and sound the alarm, and that SCARED kid-me so much lol, I would ask my Dad, "Dad PLEASE don't push the button, it's scary!" lol
Looks like it goes dark when the lighting changes. As if there’s no other way for the game to transition. Weird.
Please use the option for original FMV for the books. The new face animations are bad.
0:46 ah there’s the music I was waiting for.
True Myst fans will recall that the Stoneship age was originally inhabited by Emmet and Branch.
And Will too, right? Later on, at least.
Whenever you turn on or off the lights in this version, the screen goes blank for a second, which is annoying.
Also the power does stay on after you turn on the submersible lamps because I did go back to Stoneship after finishing the game and the power was still on (which I believe is the case in realMyst also)
Lastly, I’m really glad they let you take both red and blue pages here instead of one at a time (though it would have been nice if there was something to show that you have the pages with you after getting them)
I personally cannot imagine how anyone confuses "of" with "have."
Regardless, it's "would have."
@@Mythraen Well, nobody’s perfect. Thanks for catching that!
@@rjb1714 I didn't say that to be mean.
I meant it quite literally.
I don't understand it.
I would assume it originates from "would've" sounding like "would of" but I would expect people to grow out of this when they learn what each word means.
No matter how I phrase this, it's going to sound like I'm criticizing... but I'm not.
I'm legitimately curious about the mental process.
I think the one door that didnt open in the compass room is cause the lever is rusted, at least it looked rather rusted compared to the other one, furthermore I think the reason your view goes black when you touch the crank is cause you get an electric shock, every time the power is out it makes a "zap" sound when you touch the crank to recharge it, so that's the only logical explanation I can come up with.
There’s a lot good about the VR version of this game……but make no mistake…..there’s a lot kinda bad about this version. For me, the straw was the handling of the compass room. The inability to size up the compass as well as the lack of the great music in that moment when you get the puzzle right is really bad.
Agreed. And there's an additional issue with randomization and the telescope, where large sections of numbers can be obscured by rock. In my game, everything in the area of 0/360 was impossible to read, so I wasn't even sure what the maximum value was, or how to map it to the compass.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I have played the original Myst, but I really enjoy seeing it in full 3D :-)
The last update allows you to play original videos which look a lot better
I am really enjoying this series!
The constant jumping made me feel bad
17:02 Myst is now a horror game
You Do like to keep us in suspense. And we keep galloping back for more.
No regrets.
Overly complicated ladders + keys make me think of an Atrus if he was a Voralberg. (Which he kinda was in spirit anyway.)
I think I prefer the blue tonal quality of the Stoneship Age in realMyst, but then I'm not a real big fan of sierra tones. It's a shame the weather doesn't change like it did in realMyst.
You mean, sepia?
@@JaneXemylixa Yeah, probably! I'm old. I get the words mixed up sometimes.
Sven: "Booyant."
I wonder if he knows it's supposed to be boy'nt.
I am hoping you can go to the top of the giant tree and look around the island.
...in the next video.
Have you considered starting a Myst discord server, Sven?
The sun doesn't go out for a second at your place when you power up a generator/battery?
The art direction on this game was a disappointment, these ages could have looked much better.
But where are the purple pages? ;)
Yea, its blanking for every movement and every scene change .... no dynamic lighting here!
So, if you can store both pages for each age, can you keep stacking each pair? Or does it just show as one page?
The pages will jump next to the prison books when you go there, but you can stack them all up without inserting them into the book. There's actually an achievement for stacking all 6 pages of either book without inserting them.
@@Mirality Nice, I approve.
Can you film yourself as you play?
Sven look at their new trailer so cute Myst Launch Trailer - 2 Minute Edition
It sounds like you're recording audio second hand.
This really lacks any feel. The generator wheel looks effortless to turn, which completely breaks immersion. Also, I think cyan could have reimagined some things in this, as some of the game design is just janky. I have never liked the puzzle in mechanical age as it feels arbitrary and pointless. Due to that there is no intuition in working out what to do, it's just trying stuff. Riven is a far better game, and I'd have really liked to see some of that design philosophy backported.
Ahaha right sven battery charger dont has annoying noice like before it had voice like that hhhrrrrrhhhrrrrrrrrr
Oh sven u playing with ur vr again i'm disappointed
One dislike? from an aaassshhhhoooolllleeee??????????????
ok as noted in the first video of this lets play series. You said it be many many videos. Got to ask the obvious why is each video so short? why not do hour + at a time? or post an hour of play? less repetitive editing of 100 or more videos.
