Tiggum posted:I'd say not playing it is the way to go. I enjoyed it at the time, but I was playing it with my father and brother, so that made it more fun, and we didn't have the internet (or many other games). These days, with so many other options, I doubt any of us would pick that game or get very far with it before giving up. Some of the puzzles require some serious working out (we had to write down pages of notes to get through it) and it's very slow-paced. Don't listen to this. Myst is still one of the absolute best point and click puzzle games. Yeah, it's a lot harder than a more modern point and click game, but it's not that hard. Besides, specifically because we live in a time with the internet, you can look up some hints to puzzles that you get stuck on. Riven (Myst 2) is legit hard though. However, it's one of the best rendered games and totally worth playing. Myst 3, 4 and 5 have something to offer but are a lot more like modern point and clicks.

Ryoshi posted:There was a Myst trilogy with the first three games that got a pretty huge print run about ten years ago, it's probably not that difficult to find these days (although I want to say there were some serious compatibility issues with Exile). I'm pretty sure I've seen a few shrink wrapped copies of Myst IV in Half Price Books as well. Myst 3, 4 and 5 are a huuuuuge step down in difficulty from Riven.

There's another NPC invader in that DLC that's an even bigger rear end in a top hat

Dropbear posted:I don't get why games are still stuck to the same old fantasy races (though often with a "~twist~"). The genre gives them license to bring wondrous and strange ideas and concepts to life... and nope, better go with the orcs and elves and all that once again, otherwise someone might have to use a tiny bit of actual imagination somewhere. That's why I can't get into the Dragon Age games either, I just feel like I've seen it a thousand times already. I'd kill for a game set in the Malazan world. Advanced technology, sword-armed raptors? Let's do it.

Yeah, CQ is pretty short. But it's not a super bad thing because the combat is pretty shallow and super repetitive. I really wish they had just completely overhauled the combat for the sequel.

Don't know what the Keyholes are though, I was fairly thorough unless they only come in later. Oh man you are not ready for where this game goes.

That reminds me that Sekiro had a really cool poison mechanic. There was an item that would intentionally poison yourself, but with a very weak poison. Doing so would make you immune to the much more severe poison buildup of enemies.

Kit Walker posted:Your attacks also clip through walls so that's not really a big strike against the game. In my experience the real problem comes from grab hitboxes. Those attacks usually have great tracking but also activate weird so it can look like you perfectly dodged something (you didn't) only to get teleported into the grab. One recent example I was dealing with was the Sir Alonne fight in DS2. Dude has a thrust attack that's actually a grab, and the hitbox on that is genuinely lovely because the dangling bit of string on the end of the hilt of his sword is part of the hitbox, and if you dodge forward left you'll touch it and get teleported ten feet away on to the end of his sword. Dodging forward right is fine, though, and puts you in a perfect position to hit him Having flashbacks to the ogre grab in Sekiro Grab attacks in Elden Ring suck rear end too

So in most From games, the enemies you fight are either player sized or giants of men. Like, most bosses are 15 feet tall giants. In Elden Ring there's a group of enemies that are just small guys that decided to form their own army, the Vulgar Militia. They are like 3 feet tall. They also have unique backstab animations where the player just brutally use their size to destroy them and I love it.
