I was bullied at school, abused at home, and yet my mum still thinks my childhood obsession with videogames was because they are "evil"...

You've gotta admit, a good video game is one that really takes you to a different place. I love a good (MMO)RPG.

Not just games - good books; films; songs; people; sex... All of these have the ability to transport us elsewhere...

Me and my Mom used to play Myst and Riven together, and we also have notebooks full of drawings and notes..

Myst! I ended up getting Riven but couldn't figure out how to even play Myst much less beat it!
Frederf
My 486 crashed on the rockship keyboard every time. I played all 5 Myst/Rivens this year. It was absolutely fantastic.
sweetnaivety
Those games were amazing, you should try them again!
boxhead234
I think I'll do that this weekend! But how did you go about playing the game for the first time? I pressed buttons and pulled levers but 1/2
sweetnaivety
oh and one more bit of advice, CLICK ON EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING. There's tons of hidden stuff so click anything and everything.
boxhead234
could never figure out what they did (if they did anything at all.) Only one time was I able to make it onto the ship out of pure luck.
sweetnaivety
I remember most of the game so if you have any trouble with any particular part you can message me with questions and I can help you!
sweetnaivety
best place to start is in the library and READ ALL THE BOOKS.. most are burnt but a few have stories in them that you should read, and help.
sweetnaivety
otherwise you gotta push buttons until you find out how it works. I will tell you don't worry about all these

Ironically I think Dark Souls is the nature successor to the original Legend of Zelda. hard but skill beats equipment, open world-ish...
mordaedil
A fair darker, but yes, a nearly perfect parallel.

From Software (who makes Dark Souls) made a PS3 called 3D Dot Game Heroes that is a more direct homage, albeit a tad easier.

I should buy this game. And a PC.
westendgrills
Why would need a PC for a game that was developped specifically for PS3
channelranger
wrong. Do not attempt the pc version. You have to use GFWL and it barely works. Also framelocked at 30fps.
lordfwahfnah
Totaly wurf a new PC. But ps3 version is decent too. At least the mp there still works.
GrinchyM
Dark Souls on PC will be going through a migration in the next few weeks from GFWL servers to Steamworks. MP will be booming!
lordfwahfnah
would be nice. i hope they also fix the lag issues with the mp
Taxicab0428
I'd caution against PS3. Framerates can be a problem on it. If you don't know Blighttown, the potential framerate drops can be devastating
lordfwahfnah
true that. but it was workable in blighttown on PS3.
Ecgwearth
I miss the Blighttown framedrops. It's comforting to know that there's so much trying to kill you that the game can't handle it.
DickMercenary
Don't. It's over hyped and mistakes "piss poor controls" for difficulty.
britishdilettantejimmyrustlerbutmostlyokguy
Okay. But when I manage to dig myself out of this financial hole am I still allowed to buy a PC? My laptop won't run anything other than >>
nesurame
The controls aren't that hard, if you aren't bad at video games. I have never had a m omen in 1 or 2 where I was like "these controls suck".
