Turned into Myst? Hardly. Is Myst the only PC adventure game you ever played or something? Myst didn't even have any items aside from those pages. The puzzles in Myst were also very much "puzzlish", as in "hop these beads without leaving a single bead" or whatever that game was in Windows 3.11. Play a Monkey Island or King's Quest game to get the idea of the puzzles I'm talking about. I suspect they could be very well integrated into a game like Shenmue. Making very hard puzzles would be the best improovement they could do to the game.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
