[Darth Marsden]

Wow. That's... way more then I would have done! Thanks!

[Johro]

Way more than I did do. Judging by the fact no one had anything to say all day, I'm assuming I'm not alone when I thought they sounded shitty.

[RingmasterJ5]

I really get annoyed when people have everything except for the newest DLC on sale, like they're doing with the Dungeon Defenders thing.

[der_ketzer]

They are releasing Eteria Shards part II today. And it will not be on sale too. Just like the 4-pack with all 4 of the packs as soon as they are released. That alone costs the same amount as the game without a discount. Sounds really bad to me.

[Darth Marsden]

A little early, but then so's Steam. Today's Daily Deal is Rochard. £3.99 / $4.99. Try it! You may like it.

Oh, and Dungeon Defenders: Eternia Shards: Part Deux is now out.

[der_ketzer]

Also: Myst 5 has been released on Steam right now. AVOID this game.

[MusicallyInspired]

Sigh another Myst hater.

No. I just hate Myst V. Because it is not a Myst game. It's not even a good game.

I enjoyed Myst 5 quite a bit.

[Darth Marsden]

Gonna have to side with my German friend on this one, the series really started going downhill after Riven.

[MusicallyInspired]

I quite liked Exile. Just haven't finished it yet. Never gotten to the 4th and 5th ones yet. Or even Uru. They require an immense amount of time and it's funner when you play them with someone else.

[Darth Marsden]

As Yahtzee says: So is watching Hudson Hawk.

Best game in the series.
Revelation was great but had some really stupid puzzles.
End Of Ages was utter crap. Looked worse than Myst 4. Has this "great new element" that makes you draw symbols on a stone plate to end the worlds... And you will draw stupid symbols. A lot.

[MusicallyInspired]

Well that's kind of sad. Wasn't Myst 5 the one that Cyan actually went back to and developed themselves again? (Where Exile and Revelations were developed by some third party, isn't that right?)

[Gman5852]

Anyone here have problems where steam just randomly fails and restarts? I can't do anything before I have "no connection".

Yeah, but that's because my ISP throttles me regularly.

[Gman5852]

I'm sorry, the new daily deal is what?

I'll take this moment and get 12

[Darth Marsden]

Ah, but the store page displays a different price, which is why I haven't posted the Daily Deal yet!

[LuigiHann]

Myst 5 is actually decent, in my opinion. It's got nice atmosphere and some nice puzzles. I will agree that every other game in the Myst series is better than Myst 5, but personally I'd say it's worth playing if you enjoy the Myst style of adventure gaming. The tablet was a bit wonky (at least once I accidentally drew the symbol that took me to a later part of the game, whoops) but as a way of taking the concept of building worlds through writing and turning it into a game mechanic, I thought it was reasonably clever even if it wasn't executed perfectly. I wouldn't say avoid the game, just go into it with your expectations a little lower than the rest of the series. I'd say it's worth playing if you really like the Myst series but it's pretty safe to skip it if you don't care for it, since it is a notch or two below the others.

Yeah. While Cyan Worlds was working on Uru (sigh), Ubisoft used the licence to make a couple more games. I think they were both pretty good, though I agree that Myst 4 had a small handful of incredibly annoying puzzles. I don't know if I'd say that Myst 3 Exile is the best, but it's definitely the most balanced.
