>hoping others fail.

That's a poor mindset to have and will hurt yourself in the long run. Get help as soon as you can.

There's no market in pandering to morons. I wouldn't want to make that kind of money.

Grimoire is an elite game that is unlike anything else up on the Steam store. I defy you to find anything like it in the thousands of games listed. I defy you to find a game like it on the planet. It's not even a Wizardry clone really - it's everything Wizardry should have been but never was.

I'm not competing with Sir-Tech any more. Amongst other reasons, they went bankrupt 17 years ago.

I'm not competing with anybody. Grimoire is the pinnacle of the peak of the summit of the incline. I could probably get 99.95 from a lot of people but I don't want to limit it just to the very elect of RPG players. I made a compromise and and priced it somewhere just under current AAA titles. The truth is there is not an AAA title you could buy nowadays that deserves to crawl up on a high chair and plant a kiss in the crack of Grimoire's ass when it comes to enjoyment, immersion and wonderful escape.

I say all this with confidence because I have been playing my game 12 hours a day for two months and I can assure you there has never been anything like it in all of recorded human history. It's the greatest thing ever to emerge from that genre. The fact is, people who enjoy that genre are considering it cheap at that price. If you are not a connoisseur of the genre then why would I amend anything in it to appeal to you? It's like saying Mozart needed more cowbell.

Trust what I am saying. Those of you who played the demo and got the scent of greatness will know the full game has achieved it. For whatever it lacks it has much more in abundance.

I was just playing Kublai Cathedral to check all the logic and was almost weeping tears of joy at how wonderfully told the story of everything is in the game. I had forgotten a lot of it and it was like reading the work of someone else.

The game will suck you mentally into another dimension of win and excellence, no kidding. I warn unstable people against playing it at all. If it becomes that kind of obsession with the author - who should be long tired of it by now - you can imagine what elite fans RPGs will feel.

The game is special. I have supercharged it with awesomeness right down to the atomic level of every bit in the digital binary. $39.95 is very cheap once you have played the game for a short while.

Legend of Grimrock

it's probably better as well

What the hell is going on in this thread?

Nice pasta. 10/10.

People are afraid of the game because it doesn't have anime butts and faggotry. Maybe you could do a hidden anime level later on as update.

Is this from the dev blog or something?

What is the point of having so many different attributes and skills? It really looks like that bogan nutcase thinks that quantity is better than quality.

It's from his posts on the RPG Codex forum.

You haven't played any vidya before, let's say 2010? You weren't probably even born yet.

>game gets called a masterpiece before release
When will fanboys learn?

95% of them are gonna be dump stats, you just know it.

Post he made on the RPG Codex. The guy is legit insane, if you want to get a "quick" summary watch this.

Even this is only scratching the surface.

Skyrim would be the best game ever by your logic then.

>Going to Codex
>Posting on Codex
>Posting this much autism on Codex

Wait what, is it released?

2 days left

Grimrock 2 was a fucking enigma of good games.

>he says while posting on Sup Forums

Retard, learn to read. You don't even know any other games than Skyrim. Have you ever played Wizardry 1? Dungeon Master? Ultima Underworld?

I've played Etrian Odyssey

Fuck why can't I preorder?

>Buy modern AAA Video game
>Lucky if you get 20 hours of gameplay
>Game is utterly mindless and casual

>Buy Grimoire
>Get 600+ hours of gameplay
>Game is made by one of the greatest living minds and is his magnum opus
>A true handcrafted adventure that pushes the boundaries of the medium
$40 is a steal.

Jesus Christ.

>4 stats
>too many

As insane as the dev is, he's still less of a subhuman than you.

You shouldn't be on this thread.

>The truth is there is not an AAA title you could buy nowadays that deserves to crawl up on a high chair and plant a kiss in the crack of Grimoire's ass when it comes to enjoyment, immersion and wonderful escape.
I can't argue with this. The man is 100% right.
The only criticism fags who shit on Grimoire have is MUH BAD GRAFIXXX.
But then again those people were never interested in playing this kind of game anyway.

Quantity=/=Quality
Take Wizardry 7 as an example. It's far larger than Wizardry 6 but extremely tedious instead of fun.

I'll consider playing it if it gets good reviews when it gets on a 66% sale.

The developer of Grimoire has IQ of 180 or probably even more. The fact he didn't pursue scientific career but decided to make the best rpg ever made tells something about him.

I have last veto on any price anywhere as the author.

This game will never, ever be offered anywhere for $12.95 before the year 2025. That's a promise.

I am considering an opening discount. It is highly recommended by Steam. After that, it will go to full price and stay there for the next 8 years.

I am following the development of SHELTERED and they are doing a good job adding new detail every few months. It's a very good investment.

Anybody doesn't like it is invited to spend 20 years of their own time writing a game superior to all previous Wizardry releases. Good luck, it's easy to say but hard to do. Working alone, it's impossible unless you are a Neanderthal.

the post is irony btw

As a kid I used to see the pics of these in gamer magazines and want to play them, but by the time I owned a PC it was 98 and Baldur's Gate isometrics was where the RPG genre was at. Getting "wow this this awesome" staring a magazine screeshots nostalgia looking at his Steam page.

Is it truly the Patrician choice?

>making your game intentionally look shitty
>ask for $40

>The only criticism fags who shit on Grimoire have is MUH BAD GRAFIXXX.

What the fuck are you smoking? Grimoire looks stunning. It's the best in this category.

The graphics are not why this game is being shat on. It has been a source of drama for over a decade.

>No sun.
This is fucking wasted potential, what a fag made this.

>when it gets on a 66% sale

Dev said it won't go on sale for 8 years. Which is rather funny, since he also said that he will release the source code once he begins working on Grimoire II.

>tfw this game has been in development longer than the majority of current Sup Forums posters have been alive

t. robert sirotek

I like how that table conviniently ignores Wizardry 8.

Looks too complicated.

Wow you are a fucking retarded samefag. Cant wait for your shit game to fail.

Eh, I might pirate it if people say it's fun enough.

Mang, do you know he is posting author post from Codex RPG?

I caught secondhand embarrassment from this post.

The mirrored golden skeletons in the frame are bothering me.

who is that semen demon on the top right

>This game started development before Baldur's Gate 2

Sister Cole. Her nametag is right there.

Is that cat making an ahegao face?

LMAO this is great:
>Grimoire: IndieGoGo Campaign Pitch
youtube.com/watch?v=xDyXSCd2Lp0

He is not insane.
Just excentric - which might look like insanity for normie shit guzzlers. Excentric people throughout history achieved great things. No normiefuck will ever achieve anything if he just comfortably stays in his normiedom.
You have to go to extremes to achieve anything of significance. This guy spent almost 20 years making this game. You can talk shit and make fun of him all you want, but that alone deserves respect.

It's eccentric, user.

>Even the indiegogo failed

This is going to flop.

Dear lord I can hear the autism.

>20 minutes
>opens with a rant about Neanderthals

Dude sounds like a 60 year old.

>2013 release date

Oh god it's Bulletball all over again.

He's self-aware = not autism
He's the stuff of legends: eccentric madman tramp

The guy is legit madman, right? The way he's hyping this up, he won't be content unless it sells enough to buy a small country and is praised as the second coming of christ.

>In Grimoire... you may ride on turtles
Oh my god

>What IS Grimoire?...its a french word for magic book

Woah

>He is not insane.
You sure about that, mate

He's a madman, but he's self-aware. I don't think he cares that much about sales as compared to valueing his product, hence no heavy discounting and the high price point.

I have autismal deja vu

...

This guy is nuts. Game sounds good.

He's right about gravity. There are no good theories of what gravity is and why it exists, only the deeply flawed and limited approximations of General Relativity which fail at the smallest scales (no working theory of quantum gravity) and have big problems at the largest scales (spiral galaxy rotation problem).
He's a true Patrician thinker.

Bulletball WILL be an Olympic sport in 2020.

He's right, though.
You're just a mad brainlet unleashing your butthurt because you're not able to counter his arguments.

What can you do in bob's game?

That's funny as fuck.
Judging by his vocabulary and how he structures his thoughts and makes hispoints, he sounds like a legitimately intelligent person to me.
Again, I don't see any insanity here. Just a great sense of humor.

And if it's anything like Wizardry then it'll be GOTY. I'm actually hopeful for this game unlike the dozens of failed, shitty attempts at making new """classic""" RPGs.

I had the same thing. I used to watch certain ads on magazines and read reviews of Ultima V etc over and over again.

I don't know about Grimoire though it might be too weird for my tastes. I tried the 2013 demo and I wasn't that excited. It's graphics for example reminds me too much of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and I was never fan of that game too much.

But maybe the 2017 release is going to be cool anyway. Need to see what happens.

>Steam
>giving that fat lardass kikejewpig Gaben my hard earned money

Will there be a GOG version of Grimoire?

He's smart and good where science is concerned but the problem is that he's an egomaniac. He's bringing his "factual" reality into a completely subjective hobby and stating his game as factually worth something when worth is up to the market. If his game flops he'll go on some tirade over the "factual" evidence of his great game, but nobody will care because they don't want to play his shit. None of his years of science research are going to change that.

God I miss Bob and his insanity

After a while. He doesn't want to support pirates.

>It's graphics for example reminds me too much of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and I was never fan of that game too much.
get the fuck out and die in a gutter.

Yes. This is usually the problem with hyper fact-based people. They fall into the same trap as religious people. They are always right, hiding behind their books, and everyone else is always wrong. It's not a bad thing to be into science but it has a habit of making arrogant people. It takes a unique blend of experience, compassionate raising and knowledge to make someone who is smart and has wisdom. This guy is lacking in the former two.

>Just a great sense of humor.
>humor

He's been doing this non-stop since the early days of AOL. At some point you have to consider that maybe this isn't ironic after all.

Doesn't look like Wizardry to me; looks like the same "realtime" sort of Dungeon Crawler as Eye of the Beholder.

well, he's supporting jews instead. Okay then I guess.

Yeah he's just a few Nuts shy of being a Terry A Davis.

It is clearly his life's passion project.
Why would you give a rat's ass if his fantasy game is based on HIS 'personal factual' reality or not?
Also what's the downside for the game of him being an egomaniac again? I couldn't give less of a shit. On the contrary, it actually sounds exciting to play a game made by an oddball, it will only add to the otherworldliness imo.
Considering everything the game promises to offer, $40 really isn't much.

He seems self-aware of his limitations and the niche appeal of his game in the pitch video where he talks about the past games he developed as being things that noone has heard of. He's self-aware and content that it's a vanity project and not a commercial one.
Obviously a lot of risk in that as a consumer but lets see what the madman comes up with in a few days. It may be just that he's a perfectionist who needed a de facto publisher to put a deadline on him to get his baby out the door.

Because it's going to be shit given he has no perspective outside of his own head.

>some Australian shitposter took 20 years to make the game of his dream

I HAVE to play this.

It's a vanity project on a vanity timetable, in that moral framework it's reasonable.

> tfw this is actually not a neat game made 20 years ago~

Who knows, maybe adopting TempleOS could really save us from Microsoft. And then Europe would usher in a new golden age.

...

We have to defeat the CIA niggers first.

The CIAniggers should fear the Temple of God.

Possibly, but he seems pretty confident and I've been won over by his enthusiasm and intriguied by the narrative charm of a madman's magnum opus.
He's made games like this before in a commercial setting, this seems to be a vanity project he's allowed to over run on a vanity timetable without a publisher/commercial obligation to put an end date on it. It's not a technically difficult game to make and it's not a question of commerical loss/bankruptcy on the project. It's a quirky thing from a quirky guy. Deserves a chance. We'll see soon.

>implying releasing it on Steam will prevent the game from being pirated
It will be cracked and released by a scene group on the day of release.

I wonder if Cleve realises that he is cockblocking a part of the game's fans who would gladly shell out $40 for the game on GOG, because they categorically and out of principle don't want to give their hard earned money to a lardass billionaire judenschwein kike pig that was undeservedly memed for a decade as the saviour of pc gaming and in the end turned out to be a money grubbing false messiah.

>given he has no perspective outside of his own head.
What does that even mean? You are just being vile and edgy for the sake of it.

>He's made games like this before in a commercial setting

He worked on them. I don't think anything he worked on got released, unless you count that mobile game. Donut Lad, or whatever.
