now it leaves the Riven thread...

anyone play Myst 3 from start to end with no strategy guide? anyone think that this gave was uber beautiful?

...
Anyone know where I can buy those Squee shirts? I need one...

I have! Took me about two weeks. Reality was my break in between excursions to these strange and wonderful worlds.

I played it through, even got the collectors edition when it came out (the one that came in the big box that looked like it should have been one of those fake boxes some stores put up around the room).....

I used the strat guide once I think, and then it was because I was over-thinking the problem.... the ballance puzzle that required you adjust the focal point of the teeter-track section and ballance out the pieces with sections of a ball hanging in the shed to the side....

Having I guess a bit more knoledge of physics than most people who play the game I was over-thinking it... the spacing of the pivot points are incorrect for what they are supposed to represent.


The game itself is really pretty.... there are several times where I caught myself sayin "whoa!"

the game took my friend and I exactly 5 days... well, I'm not sure what to call them, we always started at like 11:50 at night and ended at 3:00 am. truly, the only part that I could not get was finding the second bloom in Edanna. and that was stupid.

Beeeeeeuuuutiful game. Immersive to the max, but didn't have as much realism as Riven. Some of the puzzles really stuck out.

The only particularly hard puzzle in that game was the one where you had to focus the three symbols on their respective windows in order to activate the linking books. It's extremely hard to get it centered and focused just right and the slightest inaccuracy could throw it off. I don't know how many times I had to go back and forth, back and forth...

lol... actually, for some reason, I had no problem with those, except for the one to enter Amateria...

myst III is kinda hard for me. i'm not that good @ stratagy that i hafta tinc on my own. hrts the brain, not enough cells.

I found you don't have to get them focused too well...I got em all on the first try. But I guess I could have gotten lucky...

Well, it's quite possible that I'm just an idiot. But as long as I'm a happy idiot, that's fine.
