Re: With regret

I expressed in another post my ability/willingness to sympathize with those for whom LoG's difficulty level equates walking away from the game, for good. That said and personally, it is my hope/vote that the devs change nothing in relation to the difficulty of combat, or puzzles, or character levell...

Re: Is LoG a shameless copy of a classic?

I agree with "homage" regarding this matter. Nothing shameless about LoG...err, perhaps shameless fun? How many gamers dream of having the means, talent, funding to construct homage software to honor and relive the PC games they most enjoyed?

Re: Average Age ...

39. I think it began with space invaders, spider fighter and pitfall--not RPGs--but gaming in general. I am somewhat anxious to find out what Megadeth sounds like at age 80, but I am sure PCs will be unrecognizable by then; bio-implant gaming platforms?

Re: So frustrated with the level 6 timed pit puzzle

I'm playing on an Alienware laptop which exceeds recommended specs however, to complete this puzzle more easily, I lowered the resolution, and got really good at rotating the view while moving quickly. Leaving the game for a few minutes after a few failed attempts helped out as well.

Re: Do you have general combat tips to share?

I tended to scout ahead a bit...where possible, specifically on the lower levels. Knowing which kind of monster lurked a few turns away enabled a bit of prep time i.e. casting various magical protections, etc. Have potions made and handed out. Nothing like mixing them under the blade. Build a party ...

Player Comment(s)

I've thoroughly enjoyed Legend Of Grimrock...decided registration on the forum was worth saying just that. Pc gaming has changed so dramatically in the last decade alone; playing a game crafted by developers who "get it" -- bringing back some of the challenges and wonders of gaming yestery...
