Grimoire Thread

[taxalot]

Woah, there is some serious pettiness going on in the thread.

Not enough for me to lose respect for individuals but still very surprising behaviour. Posting on cuckchan or alluding to piracy? This kind of behaviour only degrades yourself.

What else they have left than doubling down at going full retardo?

"There is no game11111"
"It's only the superdemo1111"
"It is shit anyway LOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOLLOLOL can't hear you".

Anything to dodge eating crows and sucking themselves off, can't blame them.

But so far, we don't really know if the game can be completed.

The RPG to end all RPGs has released but bunch of retards are now bitching about bugs...

What do all the various stats govern and what is destiny? When I try to assign bonus rolls to attributes, they don't actually seem to increase anything.

In 600 hours, we will

So wait, RPGWatch hates Grimoire? As if they couldn't become any more loathsome. They consider themselves to have a fair perspective, yet they call Grimoire a "shoddy wizardry clone" only a couple hours after it's release.

Would love a little rundown on this stuff myself.

We should perhaps take a moment to appreciate the graphics. While the stock image titlescreen is still ridiculous, all these recent images and video footage remind us that the art assets and portraits are really beautiful and colorful and imaginative. We perhaps too easily took that for granted after twenty years but now can see it as if it was the first time and what we see is wonderful.

Provided its not an error message popping up, of course. Thats not so wonderful.

What combination of Difficulty Level and Wandering Monsters are people using for the authentic Grimoire experience?

Feel free to also mention your estimated thal genetic composition so I can scale appropriately to my level. Alas, I am almost certainly 100% sapiens.

Destiny is more or less the same as Karma in Wizardry, i.e. Luck. Specifics, ask Cleve.

The bonus to attributes you can assign once you are in the game. Just double-click on the portrait, and

Agreed. Any way we can get one of the much superior classic titlescreens?

Hardest + onslaught for grind parts, novice or normal + never for steamroll parts.

RPGWatch has went full on SJW with an influx of recent fags and trannies

Probably massive overkill, but I thought I'd try an avalanche to see whether it worked and then prune back. I've bolded the ones that seem most likely to have fixed the problem.

Who cares what the goons (that don't already post here) think?

The real question is - who will provide the official, prestigious RPG Codex review(s)? We need a good 5-6 HQ reviews, plus a retrospective in 6 months, and an annual roundup on 8/8/2018.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

Yeah to be frank the graphics are actually pretty good, I especially liked the 3 frame 5 color ?SQUIRREL? animations. Or the 3 color 2 frame penis worms.

This is on the level of Chris-chan, honestly. So bad it feels like an elaborate troll, but deep inside you understand that the creator is just insane.

If at 60 people have not finished i yet i'd be satisfied already.

Drog, knock it off, we see your modder jealousy from ten miles away

How does Grimoire compare to Wiz7?

Wizardry 7 = been played to holes in the HDD
Grimoire = just released

Sufficit.

 

[CyberWhale]

Would love an Enhanced HD Edition. Basically fix teh bugs, stretch the full screen and make a more intuitive and less cumbersome UI.

Yeah me too. I'd love it if it was a completely different game made by a competent developer.

I thought seeking and / or promoting a pirated version of something == BAD

I don't think increasing attributed changes any value until after your first level up then it kicks in. Better to assign extra points to skills - those work right away.

And make sure to watch your hp and mp when rolling a character, they are random and a character with super good starting points (25+) can be gimped by being blessed with shit MP or HP. Same applies for vitality.

It sometimes prevents characters from dying when going under 0 hp. "destiny prevails!"

This is surprising considering you were begging for a download link and getting so hot that you wanted to suck yourself off.

Cleve, please get those backer keys out by 8pm EST when my kid goes to bed. It's my wedding anniversary today too, but fuck that shit Grimoire is out!
