In precisely 1 hour, Grimoire, the herald of pure RPG excellence, releases. IT TOOK 23 LITERAL YEARS TO MAKE (HOLY SHIT), so you know it's gonna be great! The developer is one of the last Neanderthals alive and he possesses the intelligence of five average Homo Sapiens combined. And it can be all yours for the low, low price of 40 AMERICAN DOLLARS. Pic related, just feast your eyes on this beauty. Let us discuss this incoming masterpiece.

1 hour faggots
It's gonna get delayed. I'm telling you faggots.
Demo was shit and this will not be any better
:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
inb4 he delays it to gloat at rpgcodex plebs for a bit longer
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
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.
Waiting for it to launch to stream on Twitch, my dudes!
Are these feminine gamer boys?
I've never read anything pulled from nowhere more believable than this post right here.
How old is this guy anyway?

Instantly discredited his entire post.

Nah, just girls unfortunately
Archive.org is acting slow as fuck for me.
Currently done 600-615.
inb4 it turns out good and all the falseflag shilling turns into actual shilling
Post turtles.
What if the game isnt jsut a meme but actually very good?
Could it be the final proof that Neanderthals are truley superior?

>tfw this actually looks really good to me, but i can't dscuss it on Sup Forums because it'll be 100% shitposting and i can't discuss it on /vr/ because it's technically not retro
>Wolfdick
>not DICK WOLF
>Vampire
You mean Vamphyr
You have to be the /vr/est of them all if you don't think this looks like shit.
Have you played the demo? The UI is embarrassingly clunky. You really need to be the retroest of them all.
I bought wiz8 on a whim during the sale. It doesn't matter if this game is a hyped up mess, because I'll be able to nostalgia either way
Point taken. You can change names in-game.
Fucking sapes not in-tune with the Hypoborea lore.
What did the neanderthal meme come from? I know the guy is a sperg but I don't know much beyond that
Gonna try Ultima Underworld because the stress of waiting for Grimoire is killing me.
Anything I should know before I start?
He claims to be a full blooded neanderthal and thus totally superior to the Cro-Fagnons.

Cleve believes he's a Neanderthal
It's entry level Wizardry but it has still a lot of charm. If you have time do the 6-7-8 run fampai. It's pretty amazing. Remember to say "I LOVE YOU" to Rebecca.
Retro for the sake of being retro is always shit.
You want to capture the design of early 90s elements RPGs. Fucking great, go for it dude.
You want to capture the design and feel of early 90s RPGs while ignoring every design advancement made in the past 23 years? Fuck you autist.
Why are people archiving the RPG Codex posts?
it has an amazing amount of detail just from playing the demo alone,this is what happens when you try to force open a door inside a dungeon without a key
Halfway through the 500's. 555 currently.
:( :( :(
>game is so painfully slow even the easiest battle takes ten minutes
>you have to click through multiple spreadsheets to carry out one action
>600+ hours
These nostalgic oldskool dungeon crawler RPG fags are pathetc. If these games had normal game speed you could beat them within a couple of days.
Someone better pirate this, there is a high chance of Cleve rage-quitting and taking the game down permanently
so the keys are useless?
I mean lets be honest here,it could be a fun game specially if you are able to look past the sprite quality.
You're right, but also, you can press and hold enter to make the battles go much faster
Currently at 640.
oh fuck I'm dying, like literally? He believes he's a neanderthal? there are tears in my eyes I'm laughing so hard
A sad combination of idiocy and autism.
THE ORBTOPUS
8 Eyeguys
I don't think I'm intelligent enough for this game so I won't bother buying it...
I hope its filled to the brim with things like this. Perhaps this game will finally satiate my autism.
So you can finish the game in 60 instead od 600 hours by holding Enter.
It is getting closed and moved to a place not visible to non-members when the game releases.
>weeb
Yeah, don't bother.
will this be the No Man's sky of 2017?
Thanks for the tip friendo. Any other neat things to tell npcs for secrets?
anyone complaining about the length of battles in Grimoire has clearly never played Wizardry 8
kill yourself
it's full of racist, misogynist, homophobic, autistic shit that'll undoubtedly be a hot topic when this shit comes out and cleve will probably try to burn all the evidence

Grimoire is easily the most /comfy/ game ever made. Skip ahead a few mins past the character creation, which is always a little stressful in any game, to the gameplay, if you want.
Cleve is THE man/neanderthal who will save PC gaming.
Only Homo Neanderthalensis can completly comprehend this game.

Is the combat system gonna be any good?
I've been playing The Quest a bit lately and god damn is the old-fashioned combat boring because the only options are a handful of boring generic spells (the damage ones especially) or 'attack'. Definitely the worst part of old-timey RPGs.
To preserve Cleve's war against the Cro-Fagons
so this game has had a team of 50 people working on it for 20 years and the only thing to show for it is a sjw walking sim that has a strong independent black womyn as the main protag?
Why would Cleve even bother making a game that is too advanced for retardo sap minds to comprehend? Does he really think he'll make a profit appealing exclusively to neanderthals?
Who is gonna care about this game that isn't already fully aware of RPGCodex?
nicely memed

Here's how Grimoire looked back in 1998
500's user here, just about done, only have 7 more to go.
>There's no market in pandering to morons. I wouldn't want to make that kind of money.
Sounds like extremely elitist autismo.
In oldschool dungeon crawlers usually you had 4 ways of opening the door: Use key, pick lock, cast a spell or brute force.
Keys are basically "Use money to solve a problem" way
In Wizardry 8 on Ascesion Peak you will meet Bela. I remember you could get something out of her... I think you had to show her the Diamond Ring or something. It's been so many years.
Speedfix
No one. Wizardry Fans and Codexfags only.
40000000000 microissues fixed since then.
Grimoire has ~10 different spell schools including necromancy, earth magic, and many others
but if you're playing a Warrior you're just going to be basic attacking for the entire game
ideally if you want to have fun combat you would make a party of 8 spellcasters, with 1 or 2 Templars to serve as a tank/healer hybrid
Grimoire isn't a retro game. It's literally a game that was developed in the 90s to the norms & standards of it's contemporaries (like Wizardy 7) but that was never released, until now.
It is not a modern game made to emulate a past style, it is an unreleased vapourware game from the era that has been refined and added to for the past 27+ years as a hobby horse by the gentlemen dev/madman Cleve.
>my Sup Forums friend found out about this game and decided to buy it because he thought the dev was super "based"
Well we've found his audience.
500's user reporting again, finished 500's. Any other user doing the earlier pages like 499 below? If not I'll try to salvage as much as I can
he did the indie meme before it was cool
>Arcane/Divine casters have hundreds of spells at their disposal
>Martial classes just whack shit. Or if you want to get really fancy, get a buff that lets them whack shit harder/faster
There is nothing I hate more than this kind of design.
>and cleve will probably try to burn all the evidence
Cleve literally washes his hands in innocence though. He is above all those things, he is The Last Neandertal.
but it makes sense
magic-like physical combat abilities are lame as fuck desu
With parties this large, am I gonna have to click 'attack' on every single melee character every turn (I assume it's turn-based anyway)?
This game looks a bit too groggy to have something like an auto-attack, but it also looks to groggy to give any reason to do something other than hit attack every turn for warrior types.
I started doing 1-100, I'm slow as shit though
