anjohl: I think you spend too much time on wikipedia. None of those similarities would come across to someone who was not either a Rand fanatic, or who exhaustively searches out explanations to every game they play.

I am reminded of a young second year sociology student who told me he was writing a paper examining the film Alien from the "feminist perspective", specifically looking at it as a "critique of male sexuality". I just about hurled. Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar, and a generic Doomlike by an overachieving, pretentious designer is just a Doomlike.

bensinkula: A simply awful game, "Vampire Rain." It was just...awful. The entire thing seemed clunky, and I couldn't even get beyond the first level because of how bad it was.

amok: - "Do you know what Freud said about dreams of flying? It means you're really dreaming about having sex."
- "Indeed? Tell me, then, what does it mean when you dream about having sex?"

fr33kSh0w2012: RealMyst

It was fun to begin with when you were actually GIVEN CLUES as to what to dothe last bits are just WAY TOO HARD becasue you are not given ANY CLUES Whatsoever which means you are running around the game world for hours wondering WTF am I supposed to be doing? it's nothing like the Original Myst which actually gave you clues.

amccour: Woah, what? This is interesting. In Myst, most of the clues were like, you do something with a machine, figure out what the effect was, fiddle with the machine, and learn what the machine does, then use said knowledge to solve the puzzle.

What did RealMyst change? Did it screw up the audio/visual cues that the game relied on?

Also quit saying Doomlike like it's a bad thing. Doom was great. Doom is still great.

StingingVelvet: Bioshock had cool powers to use in combat within really cool looking and unique environments, as well as some well-written dialogue that critiques extreme capitalism.

I liked it.
