Very well. Now try Schizm. It makes Riven look like a walk in the park.

Infinifactory is a bit easier. Or at least has a saner difficulty curve.

>The objective is to get both characters to Matia's Zone, which is achieved by solving (sometimes very difficult) puzzles to get the alien Argilan technology working. Once in Matia's Zone, the characters must work together to solve the final puzzle and escape the planet - and find the answer to the riddle of the missing Argilans.

Oh God here i go.
I wish they released this kind of stuff on the Switch. Instead of fucking Monopoly.

No

No, I don't believe you. Nobody can be that stupid.

>>388095996

Myst 4 is the toughest by far if you don't know what you're doing. Some of it's bullshit but you need great intuition and pattern recognition to get by without the guide they actually included in the game.

You want something "intellectual" just try brute forcing your way through it without the guide.

You greatly underestimate how stupid the average idiot is.

And then the realization 50% of the population is dumber.

Knowing fluent D'ni helped with the book puzzle.

Fuck, BioShock is truly a game for smart people. I don't think I'll ever be able to finish it.

>>388097113
It's not on Gog. Got the DVD version for €3 from Amazon. This is going to be gud.

I want you to know those element puzzles on the last age took me for-fucking-ever. I swear they're like half broken.

>>388097430
Yeah but generally speaking 4chan posters are at least intellectual.

There's a real culture of shitting on retards here.

>>388097326
Hint:

Look at the symbols on the bells, then look at the card

Hope this helps :)

>>388097331
No where in the game do they tell you to look at the claw. Also no other item needs to be inspected. It was kind of a crap shoot.

>>388097648

I like what I see so far

Piss easy.

>>388097576
They're fine, what's broken is your mind. Next thing you'll tell me you needed more than half an hour to solve the firemarble puzzle.

>>388097569
I think the company that made it went out of business too, so I suggest pirating.

Speak for yourself brainlet. I got a perfect 100 on an online IQ test so I know I'm as smart as it gets.

Already ordered the DVD. It comes in a nice big box.

>>388097819

Nah because the fire marble puzzle was simple and solid in design. Ubisoft could fuck right off with the timed/motion sensitive nonsense with targets that jump around the map.

>>388097331
The game never tells you that you can rotate items in inventory
They didn't even encourage you to do so because every item looked like shit so there was no reason to admire different angles of those crappy items.

>>388098484
Gotta agree there, some design decisions were absolute shit in Revelation.

EoA didn't live up the hype too, but Negilahn was bretty gud.

tbf EoA was made from a cobbled together, failed season 2 of URU. Was always kind of sad uru didn't pan out; It very nearly sunk that company.

Obduction was financially limited and didn't meet its full potential either, as good as it is.

>>388099402
URU Live was a mistake, frankly. I don't know what drugs Rand was smoking at the time, but holy shit, they should've nixed the multiplayer components.

Falcon 4 BMS Mod

>>388099491

The thing is, if you look at the concept art and documents, it was fully envisioned as an MMO from the very beginning and the scope of that project was absolutely massive.

Not to go on a tangent but what's produced for uru is just a tiny fraction of the original vision and it's still a freaking massive game.

They had some really neat ideas for it you can read up on but they put all their eggs in one basket for such a niche market and Robyn left; It's a fucking wonder that guy's been able to subsist on porting and remaking Myst for just about every platform still seeing use to this day.
Obduction was cool but you can tell they didn't have the funding they needed to go all the way and I wonder how they did sales.

>>388095280
Factorio, zachtronics games, most strategy games, RTS, grand strat, 4x, etc.

Dominions 4
Zacktronic games
Factorio
Aurora
Wargame
Men of War

>>388099819
And the MMO vision was its fatal flaw. They were trying to combine two incompatible genres.

>>388099819

The irony is that uru falling through as an mmo having been designed to be one made the game world that more genuine in how dead and empty it is.

>>388095280
Factorio

>>388096984
>>look at this boring ass map for hours
Brainlet spotted.

>>388097331
Of course he's fucking with you.
There's only 27 fucking combinations.
It doesn't take hours to try them all.

XCOM Long War

Desktop Dungeons

>>388095280
Victoria II

>>388095280
Factorio

>>388095280
Factorio
The Talos Principle
Most Zachtronics games (spacechem and such)

100% the first, can't get enough of the second, but most zachtronics stuff just makes me feel like a retard.

>>388095834
>>388098762

Also please stop saying The Witness is an "intellectually engaging" game. It's basically a 3D world with a lot of the same puzzle with different variations plastered on walls all over. It's like if someone drew a really fancy painting you could go inside and then scattered pages of a Sudoku book all over it.

>>388095280
Besiege.
You could build literally everything if you own skill and patience, it's like Lego to the nth degree.

>>388097026
I feel for you.
I didn't realize at first either, but I used the wall drawings as a reference and somehow they were hints at the answer; usually got it within the second try
