Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building [edited]

This is basically an action-RPG. (Combat-wise) But the game itself isn't about combat. It's about exploration, puzzles, resource management, and yes, getting out of fights alive too. This game is many things rolled into the experience of exploring the dungeon environment, so the whole argument to &...

Re: Diablo 3

The high fantasy anime wuxia look all these games have of late is reeeally getting old and boring.

I prefer Grimrock. It's refreshing that way.

Re: D&D 4th Ed Good or Bad?

I'm an AD&D First Edition guy. That's my favorite version of the game. If I had to put my preferences on a scale it'd be: 1e > OD&D > Moldvay/Cook Basic/Expert > BECMI/Rules Cyclopedia > 3.0 > 3.5 > 4E > 2e. From "this is actually D&D" to "whatever" to "F*** no, ...

Patch 1.1.4 and GoG

From what I understand, if I want to install the 1.1.4 patch, I have to reinstall the game by redownloading the game installer. Correct?

I would have to uninstall the game prior to doing this, right? And doing so, can I keep my Saves intact?

Thank you.

Tracking LoG achievements

Do I have to install Steam to be able to track LoG achievements?

If I do install Steam, does it track the possible achievements I would have already unlocked prior to install?

If I do not install Steam, are the achievements unlocked anyway, and just not visible to me?

Re: More tactical combat.

Now these kinds of ideas, where you basically have the same combat system and the same game effectively, but spice things up by creating a variety of enemies that build on the specificities of the game in inventive ways like this, this is awesome. You could still have the giant snails as we know the...

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building

I'm not building a case for criticism. Doing so would basically lend some amount of legitimacy to the points being contested, and I do not feel like any of them deserves it. Now you can go on linking to Wikipedia, making even more of a condescending fool of yourself as you ever hoped to be, but that...

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building

Being dismissive about the idea IS constructive, in the sense I don't want to see this happen at all. I'm a fan too, and as such, I have a right to point out when I don't like this or that idea, however I want to. Getting your panties in a twist over it is your own doing, not mine. Cheers.
