Don't give Myrthos an idea for another Grimoire poll….. oooops

If he ports this to the PS1 it will be a day 1000 buy for me.

I think luj1 cares more about this than the rest of the Watch put together

Which is kinda cute. Certainly an interesting title to focus his sugar on, to compensate for all the fanatical bile he spews

Eh? He actually worked for Sir-Tech?

No wonder they went out of business.

He worked for Sir-Tech on the original Wizardry 8 ("Stones of Arnhem") which was cancelled. The Wizardry 8 that ended up actually being released was a different project.

I can see why most of us participate in Grimoire threads, and that's purely for the amusement factor by poking fun at that game. I mean, c'mon, its creator and development cycle have been bizarre enough to warrant that. And even if it's going to be a work of genius and the Second Coming of Christ, that wouldn't change any of that.

On the other hand, I don't know why luj1 is defending it so fervently. Maybe he gets the same amount of entertainment out of it as we do by mocking it? Or he's a contrarian? Or it's masochism? No idea.

Since I always defend indies and brutalize mainstream garbage I'll take contrarian.

If, by brutalizing, you mean whining irrationally behind your screen - then sold!

Sorry d'Art, contrary to you, my life isn't reduced to camping this forum for emotional fulfilment.

That said, I think I can break my pull up record today.

I guess that means what I'm doing goes way beyond brutalizing games and elitists

What term would be Codexian enough, I wonder.

Maybe I conquer and destroy all your faces!

Indies are 90% garbage, though. It's more like fanboy.

50K estimated. But out of courtesy and respect I voted 5 figures.

Back in the day he used to talk a lot about his time at Sir-Tech and how horrible everyone was there. He clearly left on very poor terms.

Why isnt there "none" option? It msy not be released after all which means no sale

Unless he turns on early access….which he has said he won't do.

If it is ever released I'll buy it someday. Gotta support those small devs that make one game every 20 years, hehe.

he should delay it for a few months to add achievements and cards on steam haha

That is the price Pillars of Eternity, D:OS, and Wasteland 2 debuted at. Tyranny was 5$ more. I tend to be willing to pay something around 30$ if I really like the kind of game. I'll personally wait for Luj1, Beldurax, and Roq, (or anyone else) who seem inclined to purchase this on day 1 to say if its worth buying
