Support NeoGAF

[Ledsen]

I thought it was released already So 1700 UTC?

 

[Kyuur]

T-minus one hour for me! So excited. Going to be doing a Let's Play of this if possible.

 

[Boss Doggie]

1 hour for me too.

You order it here silly.

You got 1 hour left. It gives you a steam key via humblebundle.

Thanks.

This rock.

It is so grim.

I really want to know how annoying the food and torch situation is. Most previews/reviews don't mention it so I'm not too worried, but that's one thing I always hate. If it's got awesome puzzles that require a lot of thinking and tinkering, I don't want to be running out of a limited food supply because monsters don't respawn and then my torch goes out with no easy way to relight it.

 

[stuminus3]

Pre-order for me both from their site and from GOG. I'm not sure why I did that. A combination of wanting to buy from the dev (to support such a game being made in the first place) and getting a Steam key, and wanting to support GOG's DRM-free future and get the extra GOG goodies? Kind of silly, anyway.

 

[Tess3ract]

Apparently theres a bug or something. It should be changed to -preorder but it's not. Those who bought it off steam can download now.

 

[Atomski]

Gah.. why does this have to go up just as I am leaving for work :/.

 

[Songbird]

Pardon me everyone, but how are people getting time estimates in Steam? When I redeemed my key a Legend of Grimrock Pre-Order listing appeared in my games with no time estimate.

There was some unarmed clips in the short review video someone posted in this thread. It looked viable and potent. I'm definitely having a char go unarmed.

That's interesting. I'm guessing dodge is a necessity in that case.

And in other news, the guide section has been sentenced to a long stay at Mount Grimrock. May god have mercy on its soul.

That's what's happening to me.

It's treating "Legends of Grimrock pre-order" as a seperate game and won't update. :/

It sounded great to me from RPS's impressions:

Health can be regained by mixing potions, but the ingredients are incredibly rare for the bulk of the game, and sleep will be your primary means of getting better. But of course sleep near monsters and they’re going to take a chunk out of you to wake you up. The other thing to be concerned about is food, which is again sparingly available. In fact, I’d say they get this perfectly right, making it feel like something you need to be worrying about, without ever making it tiresome. I always had just about enough. They don’t drink, however, which is odd, but preferable.

I think it defeats the purpose of having food if it is in abundance. But I get what you're saying about being forced to rush if it's too limited, where you don't have time to think... I don't want it to be like that either! I didn't realize this also extended to torches. It does add a little immersion I suppose, when you think about it. We'll know soon

Now downloading from GoG!

Coming in at full speed.

 

[Tess3ract]

Everyone go to your humble bundle page. There are torrents and a direct download!

 

[Clydefrog]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Songbird]

Now should I wait for Steam or go to my bundle page? Decisions decisions...

Heck, while I wait for the Steam to update I'll torrent the client just to be sure.

 

[spandexmonkey]

Everyone go to your humble bundle page. There are torrents and a direct download!

Nice, thanks for pointing that out!

 

[garath]

Crap. My pre-order key that I inputted last week is showing up as legend of grimrock pre-order and it's not unlocking.

Restarted steam client but still nothing. Hmm..

 

[taoofjord]

Finally! Been following this since it was first announced and have excitedly read each and every blog update. Just beat Lands of Lore 1 in preparation.

Have fun everyone! I have a feeling this'll be one special game.

 

[bengraven]

Everyone go to your humble bundle page. There are torrents and a direct download!

Annoying but at least direct dl is fast.

Read above.

 

[scy]

I live vicariously through this thread for the next ~five hours.

 

[bengraven]

Wow, direct download was really fast. Already done.

 

[Archie]

Still not showing up on Steam. ;_;

 

[Eusis]

Everyone go to your humble bundle page. There are torrents and a direct download!

First thing I did after a Steam reboot failed to fix this. Though inputting the key AGAIN doesn't seem to do anything other than say the pre-order isn't released.

 

[yamo]

Shiiit, the music in the trailer gives me goosebumps all over my body.

Trying to not buy this game right now as I really don't have time to play it. But it's really hard not to, as i'm an old Bards Tale/Dungeon Master/EotB junkie.

What he means is that you're going to have to install it outside of Steam for now.

 

[muffs92]

3 minutes left on the dl.
HNNNNNNNNNNNG!

 

[Eusis]

No, I knew that, I thought I'd try while the DRM-free client downloaded, just in case it did something. Only indicated the Pre-order page is out of the system though.

 

[garath]

Oh well. I dl'd the direct link from the Humble store. I have to go back to work anyways. If it isn't unlocked properly by the time I get home I'll just install it from the direct dl.

Fingers crossed Steam gets it straight by then though.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Bought on Steam and downloading at 4MB!

 

[Arsin]

I am just totally lost here. Where is this humble store page?

 

[Torraz]

I am just totally lost here. Where is this humble store page?

The link is in your confirmation mail.

https://www.humblebundle.com/s?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Should look like this with something replacing the XXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

[Ruuppa]

Check your mail. Only if you bought at the developer's site, though.

 

[Kyuur]

The music on the title screen is super awesome. Designing my party now, thinking Warrior/Rogue/Mage/Mage.

How weird my email doesn't have anything like that. I ordered with Google Wallet and only got a receipt. Nice, when I try to go to my own page with the key I was given, it tells me that key is not found T_T

 

[UncleSporky]

You and me.

Plus seeing there are four elemental spell masteries, this means we get to split them among the two and pump them up to insane levels!

 

[Carm]

Hrm, people are able to download on Steam now? I've restarted the client a couple of times and still can't download it.

Nope, not yet.

You should have a mail name "Thanks for purchasing Legend of Grimrock" from Humble Store.

 

[kyubajin]

Glad you guys are already enjoying the game, hope us Mac supporters won't have to wait too long!

 

[Carm]

Nope, not yet.

Hrm, that's not what I'm seeing though. People are saying those who bought it from Steam today are downloading it fine, but pre-orders are still locked?

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Bought and downloaded from steam with no problems. I'm in the uk if that makes any difference.

 

[Songbird]

"Legend of Grimrock Pre-Order is coming soon."

UK here too.

Ed: Petri says it's on it's way for Steam pre-orders. Will still seed like a champ on my terrible connection.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Waiting for my Steam pre-order to release! I am excite.

 

[Carm]

"Legend of Grimrock Pre-Order is coming soon."

UK here too.

Seems to be all pre-orders, I'm in the US, still can't download it.

[indigo-cyclops]

No quick save? What? That's my only complaint so far, really takes away from the immersion. Or did I miss something?

Good, There's chance the preorder key will be ok when i go home.

 

[HoosTrax]

In theory, if you download the DRM-free version, and then dump it into the Steam folder once the pre-order key issue is sorted out, there should only be a minimal amount of stuff that Steam needs to redownload. In theory.
