    Myst is a remake

    The original was pretty awful truth be told, not that many would admit it. Obtuse puzzles..ooh…shiny thing! (People thought it was revolutionarily beautiful so they overlooked everything else)

      is the remake better? Or at least worth playing?

        I enjoy the original quite a bit, although the sequels are superior by a fair margin. This remake is basically 1:1 in terms of puzzles, there's an option to randomise the solutions though in case you knew the old ones off by heart.

        The remake is pretty cool, especially in VR if you play it on Oculus or PC. Almost everything has been upgraded and looks smoother, except for the fairly average character models replacing the live action FMV from the original. It's still an OK game, but it has been bettered in the decades since by other games and its own sequels, which mean it feels a little rudimentary and a lot of enjoyment may come from nostalgia. I still think it's worth a go, and if you find you vibe with its weird atmosphere then maybe check out similar modern games like Obduction.

    Hmm.. perhaps not the most sensitive of comparisons. People are literally dying over there and many more are likely to.

    Understand the difficulty in getting an X though.

    I think you can still buy 3 years Xbox Live Gold and convert to GPU, just wait til it expires first

      no way, i had no idea you could do this if you'd had a active sub in the past. I thought it was just for people who hadn't ever subbed.
      This is big news

        Not sure if it's correct!

        There was a reset of the deal for many if not all users. But I don't know that it's automatic as summit suggested.

        But I've got 3 years of gold cards sitting there needing activation, so I'm not the one to know for sure.

      yes it still works, converted 3 years Xbox Live Gold to GPU last week
      But it only works if your current GPU subscription expired
