I think jumping on the barrel, which causes it to bounce up and down, made it misleading. This is probably what fucked up so many people.

I fucking hated that piano so goddamn much. ,It was humiliating being reminded how tone deaf I am.

I even had an official walkthrough for the game that basically just said "all you need is listen to the tones and youll be fine". NO I WONT BE FUCKING FINE YOU GODDAMN BOOK JUST TELL ME WHERE TO PUT THE SLIDERS ARGH.

Never finished that age. Just figured out where the last page was and just said I was done.

The one in Silent Hill too. And pipes in Neverhood. Good thing I had a guide for both these games, because fuck music theory in general and musical puzzles in particular.

>> No.1482867

>>1482840
The piano puzzle in Silent Hill did not require any music skill though.
It literally told you the numbers of 'black' and 'white' you should hit.

I love puzzles in video games, and I've seen my share. The piano puzzle in SH is a brilliant design and anybody who claims it sucks generally is just mad because he couldn't figure it out and that made him felt dumb, so he claims it's the puzzle's fault instead.

You need to know anything about music to do the piano puzzle in Myst. The clue tells you exactly which keys to hit and then you just match the positions on the sliders. If you're tone deaf, you can simply count the number of keys and move the slider that number of positions.

It's an annoying-to-use combination lock, yeah, but it's not testing music knowledge.
