nvm XD

ummm.... what?

how does this relates to this thread? did anyone understand this? can anyone help me put it in context?

She made a post ranting about THE JOOOS and it got deleted.

ah, no big loss then.

Still not sure how that fits in with "Safe Space" for SJWs, "Feminist gamers" and people with "Preffered Pronouns"", but oh well... Cheers

There is none. He/she is just trolling.

To return to the subject of the game...

Has anyone who's active in this thread (besides myself, with my pre-2000 copy of it) actually been playing Grimoire? If so, what are your impressions? Leaving to one side Cleve's self-inflating personality.

Yeah, I actually find that far more offensive... if you're going to insult people's mental health at least choose the right illness... I fail to see why someone with Bipolar would have any problem with a deep and difficult RPG (which is presumably what Grimoire is suppose to be, though I doubt that).

This guy has and he loves it:

This just in, updating deletes saves/breaks saves in latest patch.

A tip for future boycott threats. Saying you will rely "even more" on steam implies that you already rely quite significantly on steam. As a result the impact of you purchasing exclusively from steam seems less significant. If you want people to care about your boycott (and presumably you do otherwise you'd just keep it to yourself), you should try to make it appear like there will be some impact from what you're doing (which there obviously won't be - but it always helps if you make yourself seem more important than you obviously are). Just for next time. All the best!

Good catch. He's really thrilled with the game. Hopefully somebody will let him know it's a Wizardry clone, and that if he enjoys this, he should try the others it was based on, as well. Not to lessen Cleve's skill, but to expand his pleasure. I wonder if he's ever heard of Might & Magic II, III, and IV? Or The Magic Candle?

I'm already seeing the usual hard division appear on Steam between the fanboys and the haters. How anybody even survives up there at times amazes me.

I'm pretty sure he has... have you seen his other videos from before the Let's Plays? He's got a few really angry ones about Grimoire in there from a few weeks ago when he was convinced it would never be released. Even after it was released he uploaded a video about how terrible it was and that it always crashed, but when the first update significantly improved that he deleted that video, apologized and started the playthrough. And now he really seems to enjoy it a lot.

Though now with the update problem that may have changed again... but we'll see. I find his videos quite entertaining, but I doubt I will be playing this game myself any time soon, or at all.

Why would I lie? I'd be like this guy, even though what I said is still visible on the previous page:
Fact of the matter is I have nearing 100 games on GOG and don't mind spending money here, but what I'm looking for is a content neutral game delivery network, not a PC safe space filled with nutters going on about their pronouns, where developers are being attacked and being labeled all sorts of bullshit because of their personal opinions.

It's sad, because I distinctly remember it not being anything like that even a few years back, lest to talk about when I first joined.

I have only 3 hours played, but it's enough to recognize the true Incline. This game is very complex and dense with content, so I'm still figuring things out. There are still many bugs, but Cleve is restless at fixing them, although his updates sometimes create new ones.

One of the interesting things is that you can start game in five different locations that have different advantages and disadvantages. Overall the game feels like missing link between Wiz7 and 8.

He has virtues that (for what my opinion's worth) I find rare among "Let's Play" Youtube gamers: lowkey attitude, good communications skills, reasonable focus, and an ability to actually play the game.

Watching his first Grimoire episode reminded me of one of the things I disliked most about the Wizardry games around that time: creating characters by rerolling and rerolling and rerolling until you took a hatchet to the monitor and ran out, screaming, to get lost in the night. -Or something like that. I liked the "pool of points" approach, or better still, Darklands' system which involved aging child characters through various tasks and professions.

I agree. Wizardry 8 was an effort to break the mold in some respects, but the interminable battles tended to get players down. I loved the fact that you could be in a battle with one group of enemies only to have a second group show up and start attacking both. Also, the NPCs who would join you--in particular, a Shirley Temple-like archer, if I recall correctly, who would make the most viciously demented observations in a cloying little girl's voice.
