Smart move on the $40 price tag tho. Otherwise a lot of people would've bought this game on cheap and left a myriad of "wtf is this shit kys" negative reviews. The Steam rating would've been sub 50% for all we know.
But, at this price, it's mostly only the devoted old school RPG fans and people who've done their research who are buying the game and thus leaving mostly positive reviews. Still, the game's only 1% away from falling into "mixed".

More so, he came to this conclusion through flawed reasoning:
What a jackleg, codexians can play and fling shit simultaneously.
Or something personal, perhaps another of these friendly dudes you've banned on STEAM? Since you don't send reviewers key he's one of your customers "being policed and berated on the interwebz" according to his own words.

He's in full shitpost-mode right now with people he really shouldn't be giving a shit about.
We'll just have to wait it out.

Even kids, out of sheer hipsterism, don't give any credit to these fools though.

There is literally nothing wrong with croissants. It's as close a baked good can be to a stick of butter without actually being a stick of butter. Fat is a better energy source than powdered grass and water.

I think shitposting is how Cleve recharges his batteries. The more he shitposts, the quicker he will finish the manual and patch.

That's why it only took him 20 years to release Grimoire.

Hey Cleveland Mark Blakemore
I was just wondering what was you rationale when giving deep freeze so much damage on such little mana so early in the character progression. I'm not asking to berate, just curious.
I find it odd that you can design an awesome game but still put in some stuff like this that looks out of whack even on paper.
I've noticed many great games have these slips that are obvious from the outside but apparently are blindspots from the inside.

The grimoire's wiki page deleted pepe's review to include other reviews from "major" gaming sites.
He also doesn't take into account that many people work. Playing games while at work is generally frowned upon, but there is always time for shitposting.

I almost exclusively shitpost from work.

Does it matter though ? The reason I can blow 40 euros like it's nothing on a game like this is that I actually have a job.
If I had time to engage in wiki edit wars with overweight trannies on welfare, I wouldn't have money to buy the game in the first place.

If that was the case we would see the manual last month.
He is too busy implementing DRM, to thwart the imaginary scores of pirates. Who needs patches and manuals when you can implement a pointless scheme that will do nothing anyway, except possibly challenge the pirates into cracking it just because they can.
Yeah, got those priorities right again. FFS

It matter to Cleve since he said pepe's review made Grimoire's get into mixed, one may wonder when people read those other reviews. 
78 negative reviews. 41 with less than 2 hours played. 34 with less than 1 hour played. 21 with less than 30 minutes played. 9 with less than 12 minutes played.
A very large chunk of the negative reviews were by people who only bought the game with the sole purpose of writing a negative review and then refunding it.
Plus, the backer reviews do not get counted in the percentage, since they are "free" keys.
Remove the reviews of people who didn't actually play the game and add in the backer reviews and the percentage of positive reviews goes to 89%.

The main problem is that, in a game filled with combat, combat is simply boring. It's so binary, it's a waste of time. You'll either die and reload ( forcing save scumming ), either you'll roll over every encounter while holding enter. Yeah there are exceptions, but 90% of the fights are like that.
Honest question here: is there anybody here that played the game long enough ( > 30+ hours ) and finds combat ( I'm not talking about bosses, but trash mobs ) interesting and rewarding ? For me it's simply a waste of time, might as well give a bit of XP at randomy intervals, it would achieve the same thing.

Do I find trash fights to be the most exciting things in the game? No, but with 180+ hours I still have not turned off random encounters.
