gradientpixel Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It is nice to see them still progressing with the series. Never have beat one but got the first three of them. Haven't played anything past Exile. Have you played any of the Broken Sword series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 gradientpixel said Have you played any of the Broken Sword series? No, but I watched the Trailer for the 5th one, and it looks interesting. It appears there's quite a story to go along with the game-play. And I, for one, don't mind cartoon-style animation. I really like most Hayao Miyazaki films (Spirited Away, Ponyo, The Secret World of Arrietty, etc.), so 'cartoonish' games are fine with me. Does this series have an over-abundance of, "Crap, I gotta look at the 'walk-through' again", or are many puzzles actually solvable by someone much less sleuth-skilled then Sherlock Holmes? Some of the challenges in these puzzle-type games are insanely difficult, for me, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradientpixel Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I agree on that with those insane puzzles that make your head want to explode. I have only played one of the games in the series on the PS2 emulator; Broken Sword Sleeping Dragon. There is some stuff that hints as you may know more of what is going on if you start at the beginning but I didn't and still was able to fully understand the story. The game even provided synopsis of the previous two; didn't look at those however. As far as the difficulty goes most puzzles were realistic on being able to solve. I completed Sleeping Dragon all on my own. One puzzle I was very tempted to go look up but I was soon to find the next day that if everything is investigated thoroughly enough I was able to solve the puzzle. Once I get my problem with a PS1 emulator to work I will get the two on that console. There may be older ones on PC; not sure yet. Definitely recommend playing and the story is good along with some humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradientpixel Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Not sure how big of a fan your are with the Myst series but the other day I came across a book I forgot I had. Didn't know it for a long time but the series also had a line of books. Haven't read any of them but I have this one. Thought you may enjoy. http://www.amazon.com/The-Book-Atrus-Myst/dp/0786881887 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
