You're full of crap. Stop trying to spread attention-whore stories about the demo having ransomware embedded in it. That's a spurious claim and you need to document that with corroboration from any of the other 7 billion people on the planet.

Cleve did claim to have the 64bit bug ironed out though, so it's a valid criticism.Most of the issues are from players with Windows 7 64-bit.
Damn, I'm experiencing one crash after another. Opening a chest - game freezes and I have to alt-ctrl-del. Fighting those flowers - the same thing. Am I doing something wrong?
My os is win 7 64 bit.
In that sense Grimrock did a lot of harm, giving people the satisfaction of being "old skoolz hardcore RPG players" when in fact they were being served anything but, with step-based 90° movement to kind of create the illusion.
Not to say i don't respect the Grimrock team for their 10 years of toil though, but a surely unintended effect may well be the final nail in the coffin of true old school computer roleplaying.
I disagree strongly.
Grimoire is based on Wizardry 6 + 7.
Grimrock is based on even older games like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder I + II, and Lands of Lore.
They are different types of blobbers.
What Grimrock emulates, it does quite well. Yes it has flaws, but what do you expect from an indie team working with low resources and no Kickstarter?
Grimrock II will be even better I am sure. Also it took them 1.5-2 years to make it, not 10.
Ah, my developer stalking-hobby pays off once again.Also, does it mean Laidlaw actually enjoys Wizardry(-likes) but had to make the kind of game that was DA2 because BIOWARE? Would be funny if so. Anyone have a list of Laidlaw's favorite RPGs?
I believe him. Passion doesn't equate to the proper application of critical examination though. He was a games journalist (and his favorite game of all time is Ultima 6 FFS).Mike Laidlaw said:Woah woah woahhhh there.
I will not have my love of RPGs called into question without retort. As I type this I am looking at my displayed original boxes of Wasteland, Ultima 4, 5, 6, and 7 and the original Phantasie for the C64.
I like RPGs. I like them a lot. So much so that I will fight tooth and nail to keep party-based mechanics and gameplay viable in todays market, when it would have been infinitely easier for me to move Dragon Age to a single-character RPG or action game.
Now, as to this thread, which I find illuminating, let me quite clear: I am absolutely, positively, all about expanding the audience for party-based RPGs. I am shameless in wanting the entire planet to enjoy a genre I am passionate about. It is not an easy task, and I do not think we made a perfect move to do so in DAII; I have said as much already.
Prefering U7 is sooooo mainstream, so he went one release earlier for extra kkk harvesting...and his favorite game of all time is Ultima 6 FFS.
I prefer U6 to U7 mostly because the combat doesn't make me suicidal. Clusterfuck doesn't even begin to describe the mess.
Is the Grimoire exe supposed to attempt connection to the internet? My firewall complained about that at some point, may have caused the freezing I experienced when seeing something possibly resembling a gate in the forest and trying to walk through it. Had to terminate the Grimoire process.
The exploration/completion percentage on maps could be optional for a more hc experience. Not sure if the static combat encounters are too difficult even on novice or if I just happened to go somewhere I shouldn't have (this was in the forest though). Or my party of two giants was inadequate in general.
Grimoire at no time ever attempts to connect to the internet or calls any API for comms or does any external calls to anything outside of Grimoire.
Inside Grimoire it is the year 1995 and the internet was a far-off pipedream in the future. It knows nothing of this internet of which you speak.

OK. I suppose a virus on my machine MIGHT be able to attempt something via the Grimoire exe. Sounds a bit far fetched to me but I wouldn't know. So I full virus scanned my hard drive with heuristic level at medium, after scanning for rootkits. Nothing. Nothing. The firewall log shows repeated attempts at connection by the grimoire exe when I'm playing. Could it be a strange issue with the firewall, anyone? Is anyone else having this issue? Is a picture desired as proof I'm not trolling or delusional?

Kill the old one. Get the new one (1.2) -- doesn't return any hits on that lovely virustotal website.
Mind, i didn't get any hits on the firewall for the first 1.0, the second 1.0 or 1.1.
Played on max difficulty and max number of random encounters surprisingly easily . . . is it broken?
