Grargar: You know, I can understand remaking a successful game a gazillion times, but is this Cyan's admission that only the first Myst game is worthy of such treatment?

Zoidberg: They probably didn't bother with key rebinds anyway... :P

Alexim: And Cyan Worlds once again shows little respect for GOG customers by omitting the Galaxy achievements.

DoomSooth: No achievements? Fine with me. The original release didn't have achievements either. Very few games back then had what people might consider to be achievements. "Achievements" wouldn't really come until many years later.

MarkoH01: Wait a moment. Wasn't the first Myst mouse control only?

cmclout: From the store page:

"Q: I bought Myst when it first came out in 1993. Can I get a free upgrade to this new version?
A: Thank you for your support over the years! We are not giving out free upgrades to previous purchasers of the original Myst. We put a lot of effort into making this new version of Myst and would appreciate your financial support again!"

I bought the game twice on CD (I gave the first copy to a friend), but never had time to play it. Fast forward 20 years and I then bought it twice on GOG ("Myst Masterpiece Edition" and then "realMyst: Masterpiece Edition"), and I STILL haven't gotten around to playing it. I also bought the other five games in the series on CD/DVD and then again on GOG, but haven't played any of them yet, either.

I can't say I'm in any rush to buy Myst a fifth time, especially when the developer clearly does not value customer loyalty or support in any way. You don't need to give a free upgrade to those who purchased the game 28 years ago, but some sort of acknowledgement of customers' ongoing support through the years (other than saying "Thanks") would be nice. Without that ongoing support from those customers, the developer would have gone out of business a long time ago.

MarkoH01: Wait a moment. Wasn't the first Myst mouse control only?

AB2012: I might pick it up with a hefty 80% off discount in a few years time, but as mentioned previously, if the keyboard controls + tech support 'attitude' are a repeat of Obduction, it'll remain on the shelf...

DDDespair: again, potential solutions.

As previously mentioned.

BrianSim: LMAO. So they swapped the Achenar (blue book) vid out for... a bad CGI of a constipated rock-star?... Oh sweet Jesus, I just can't stop laughing. A-ha-ha-ha-ha. :-D

Hard pass... Maybe I'll try again with Myst (The 6th Remake) in 2026...

AB2012: Myst (2021) however is designed mostly around proper 3D movement (it would be awkward as hell for VR users without it).

AB2012: LOL. A lot of people seem to be trashing how bad the new characters look in the FMV:-

AB2012: Thanks. I'm aware of that workaround (and I apologise for not replying on the other thread). Honestly though I think I'll pass anyway given the above...
