I got it during the steam sales and finally beat it with around 30 hours put in and i still need to go back for some more secrets. I beat grimrock 1 in like half that time - probably with more secrets undiscovered than in 2 admittedly - but this one didn't feel bloated or anything. It was just thoroughly really loving good in ways that the first game didn't even try for and i'm looking forward to the hopefully inevitable third game because i need more of this asap post cool builds/parties/custom maps and talk about this incredibly good game, y'all.

I said as much in good faith that someone wouldn't deliberately be a dick about it and spoil stuff for someone who hasn't beaten, or played it yet, but ok

If there's any reason at all to play a single player game it's to figure the game out on your own. and if there's anything to learn from Games it's to not spoil that for people because otherwise why even play one. Jackass.

Why would anyone even think there's a middle ground. What the gently caress is wrong with this forum. Grow up.

I meant it in the vein of "don't let the thread become an unreadable mass of spoilers for people who haven't gotten to it yet" rather than "spoil all the cool poo poo for everyone" but I now know that I should have been more direct, and said what I meant.

Gimbal lock posted:Sweet, I've always wanted to play as an actual rat king Now's your chance, it's twenty bucks on Steam right now! You can also have minotaurs, lizardfolk, or insectoids on your team, and I guess humans too but they are the least cool. Minotaurs can take a trait that makes them stronger when they have skulls in their inventory, and it is really the tops.

I got this game when it was on sale this weekend and it's pretty boss. I just went with the remade party because I just wanted to jump right in, the firearms skill us loving sweet, also there are more spells and and Melee characters can have special attacks depending on the weapon, it's so much better. You get so many options in combat that when you get in way over your head or ambushed, you can usually win if you're quick on your feet. Puzzles are what give me the most trouble, Im stuck at one that leads south following the river. Get it!

good to hear. really liked the first one, will probably like this as well. also, wormskull needs to chill the gently caress out.

liquid courage posted:good to hear. really liked the first one, will probably like this as well. Yeah it's pretty much the first one but even better. That being said, it's not a sequel where the first becomes unplayable because of new mechanics and all that, and I think I am actually going to try that fairly popular Grimrock Master Quest custom map for the first one soon. Also nah Wormskull was harsh but fair, it was a pretty dumb thing of me to post.

If this was Games people would be saying things like "Oh, this game has been out for a few hours? Time to start posting unmarked spoilers! "

It's also got telefragging, which is pretty sweet. Yeah I would avoid spoilers as this game is still relatively new.

is it possible to play through the first one without dancing around in combat like an idiot? i'm like halfway through it but i feels like i'm over-abusing the combat system and level geometry (and not in a fun way like in might and magic 6-8)

Enemies hit really hard and waiting for them to expose themselves is part of the flow of combat. If you get swarmed or are in cramped spaces things can go south really quickly, so using terrain to your advantage and knowing when to stand and take hits at chokepoints is a big part of what defines being good at Grimrock combat. There are a few enemies later on that are much less susceptible to your square dancing and in 2 there are even more, but they do it by punishing you being sloppy at it, so definitely keep it up and try to push how much you can get in before things get unsafe.

Grimrock 2 is a lot more manageable to do the no map run than the first one, I think. G1 had you running back and forth in a labyrinth looking for some hidden door that opened for too many of its puzzles and it was really easy to get turned around and lose your train of thought. G2 uses more discrete dungeon wings and landmarks and as a result is way easier to navigate once you get your bearings.Wormskull posted:I think I'm missing whatever map I was doing of the woods which is where I am in the game so...Yea. There are only a few woodsy areas and they're either ones you visit constantly and don't need a map for after a short while, or the first one you visit which is small and you won't come back to. I have faith in you finishing this cool game.

this game is really good in a sense but it managed to enrage me on a deep level and it's bad for my blood pressure whenever theres anything like the leprecaun or the smug wizard king or frogs that rob you or traps that teleport you into the middle of a pack of zombies or sliding puzzles that do seemingly nothing besides unleashing golems at you

Almost all the things that are seemingly competent callbacks to older things are actually revealed to be bad after the initial nostalgia has dried up so just get in while it's hot.
