Legend of Grimrock (Real Time RPG) - April 11, 2012 release

[Dankk]

Aaaannd my pre-order is in. Bought it directly from the developer's website, so I get both a Steam key and a DRM-free copy as well when it releases. And $11.99 is a fine price.

The game looks fantastic. I'll be looking forward to this one.

Really?

So why would anyone buy it from Gog then?

I saw a couple of people post on their forums that they bought it on gog.com, not realizing this would be the case.

Glad I waited for clarification on that.

I guess just people who are anti-Steam or absolutely hate Steam for whatever reason (they do exist).

Or, maybe it's people who like the convenience of having all their DRM-free downloads from one place. In other words, if you buy it from GOG, you'll always have it there on your account alongside your other GOG titles. Kinda similar to how ardent Steam users prefer to have every one of their games available on their Steam account.

Compare that to ordering it directly off Grimrock's website; you'll have to go straight to the website everytime you want to download your DRM-free copy, it's not included in your "GOG basket". So it's considerably less convenient for those who prefer the DRM-free version over the Steam version.

This, and the fact that at first it wasn't known if the stand alone would be available directly or not.

Why not? Same price, but you get it integrated into your gog account? Seems like a plus.

I've wsasted enough money on games I never play so I am not preordering this game right now, but if I do decide to get it there is no question that I would buy it from gog.

I guess I don't see the point in everything moving around on a grid like that. What am I missing?

It's trying to be a first person roguelike, ala Dungeons of Dredmor.

I love the screenshots. Huge nostalgia for old dungeon crawlers.

 

[KMFJD]

For 12$ i'll give it a go, loved the eye of the beholder games, dungeon master etc

 

[Rhezuss]

I bought it off GOG.
Simply because I like GOG and want to support them and I love what AlmostHuman did with LoG and wanted to support them.
And the game is attached to my GOG account, receive lots of goodies and well, i'll repeat myself, I support both awesome places.

I guess I'm the odd one out but I think the game looks boring as shit. I can see it being a game that invokes memories of oldschool dungeon crawlers, but my feelings on this game is similar to how I feel about Pong or Space Invaders.

Well, it is personal preference isn't it? Not all of us like Call of Duty 23: Enhanced DLC Super Edition.

First review (and they loved it!).

Based on that alone I placed my order.

There's almost a dozen referenced here:

Some may have spoilers (which I've avoided so far), but generally they seem to range from about an 8 to tad over 9.

Placed a pre-ordered after reading a few reviews. I think it's my first pre-order EVER.

 

[Craig234]

Comes out soon.

 

[wanderer27]

Comes out soon.

Lot's of confusion on some of the boards as to when this is supposed to come out, since it's a Worldwide release.

The GOG Team clarified the time and someone set this up:

http://www.timeanddate.com/counters...nth=04&year=2012&hour=19&min=00&sec=00&p0=262

It's supposed to be 1700 GMT - 1900 Warsaw time which is what the clock above is set against.

I'm in. Reviews have been good and I (for the most part) enjoyed Stonekeep and the game looks fine.

 

[Craig234]

someone set this up:

Nice, thanks. I have to admit I checked soon after midnight.

They're a tease - they have the game showing a button for 'owned, re-download?', but when you click it, it goes to your lbrary of games, with the graphics for every game.

This one is there, but has a little 'soon' above it.

 

[wanderer27]

Games out.

DL'ing on GOG now.

Sounds like Steam let it go a few minutes early . . .

I input the Steam key early and it shows up as Legend of Grimrock Pre-Order but it says "coming soon". I can't seem to play it.

Yeah, there's talk on the GOG forums about Steam having some issues even though they released the download about 10 minutes early :\

I've already installed it on my Desktop and will play in a few hours after I'm done with work.

The Grimrock site has gone into meltdown . . . so right now it sounds like GOG's the way to go.
