New disease : "canbedoneism"

[JesterRaiin]

We all know the story of disabled player and Dead Space 2 right ?

It seems that the history likes to repeat itself.
This time it's "Legend of Grimrock".

I actually found that pretty funny.

I think it's a matter of they want everyone to play their game. Doing something like this brings a lot of goodwill into not only the specific customer but the consumer base too.

I think canbedoneism can be fixed by people putting this stuff into account beforehand... but it seems really impractical.

I don't think such a thing can be harmful at least...

It seems the developers of Grimrock are total bros. Everything I have seen from this game looks awesome.

Just a pity that I wont be able to enjoy it because I suck at old school dungeon crawlers ;.;

Don't take me wrong, but how could you suck at d-crawling ? Please elaborate.

I know I'm not him but I was thinking something similar.

Basically... if it's anything like wizardry I am probably going to tear my eyeballs out in my apparent lack of character building and save scumming patience.

... and finding out how alsfuhdx.jgn*&%&%doiug"h = poison gas

But gaining the experience through "dying and restarting" is fun !

Never heard of that game, but anyway, apparently that dev is one of the most amazing devs in the world! Very cool story, bro

Is it anything like Wizardry? Because my type of experience with those games is simular to the one most have with Dark Souls.

I laughed my arse off.

Ahem !
Wizardry features more or less open world.
LoG ? Think FPP Diablo.

I am fucking PSYCHIC.

Seriously though this game looks like wizardry... and I didn't really have too much fun with it personally.

However it was mainly because I couldn't save on DOSBox for some reason. That's more due to my ineptitude but it was also because it was really unforgiving... and relies on quite a bit of luck with rolls in character creation.

Yep, we called those "cRPGs"

Yup, I have nothing against them and their influence in the RPG genre.

I bet I would have given wizardry another chance if I knew how to save the damn thing on DOSBox. I spent like a day reading the manual (I wasn't reading it attentively, just referring to it every now and then), and it deserved more attention than I gave it...

The one I played was wizardry 6 I think... god that game was UGLY I mean the COLOURS MAN OMWELFIUHSDKFUG FUCKING UGLY GAME.

...okay that's the only ACTUAL criticism I have of wizardry 6... other than WTF IS THOSE POPPING NOISES ARE THEY MEANT TO BE THE SOUND EFFECTS?

...I think wizardry 6 is a bit too old for me to enjoy it...

It's too old even for most hardcore fans.
It's for fanatics only !
Seriously, even 7th is kind of shi*y. Go straight to 8 and forget that there were other games before it.

Oh man. See, this is what I mean. When I look at those games, I immediately go down to the store to buy some soothing cream and a cushion, because I know they will kick my ass so hard I wont be able to sit down properly for a few days.

Well, back in old days we didn't try every possible way. With most cRPGs being crude, linear sh*t, we pretended some things harder than politicians pretend to be honest.

If i may suggest...
Try Dungeons of Dredmor. Don't try to beat the game. Don't try to win. Try to have fun. Create most wicked, unreasonable character as possible and name him "Kommisar F*cklaw". See how long you'll survive. Repeat. Die. Reincarnate.

I forgot one more thing as well...

Having no automap sucked too.
