Get good

That at least is more noticable then the edge of a screen or a point in darkness.

Maybe because its im a fucking autist but that sticks out like a sore thumb to me because all the bricks except for that one is perfectly normal

>>13772067

This. >>13772035 needs pattern recognition training

>>13772067

I spent like 10 minutes trying to find it in the tutorial because I was looking for an entire brick to be discolored or slightly sticking out of the wall or something since the hint was "loose rock".

Its obvious OP. Unless you are DSP or a child reddittard. That shit was common in 80's and early 90's games.

> LoG the easiest of babbys first dungeon crawler is too hard for me.

Kill yourself nigger. The secret switch system is introduced to the player in the very first level to get a key. You won't even make it to murdercube or get Excalibur you little faggot.

>>13772080

>That shit was common in 80's and early 90's games.

That's why I said

> I thought the days of pixel hunting bullshit ended a long time ago.

>>13772079

congratulations, you are too autistic for this game

There are games that have no indicators for secret doors, motherfucker.

>>13772109

It was required to progress, though.

>>13772107

Shitposting. I'm bored.

>>13772035

Get your fucking eyes tested then get your brain tested for retardation.

>rabid fanboys are protecting this shit

We've come a long way huh

>>13772035

You just fucking see them after a while, anon. It's a process that went into disuse sometime before you were born called "practice".

Practice is when you do something enough times to become proficient at it, rather than running to the nearest walkthrough like a toddler tugging on mommy's pants-leg asking for a toy.

>>13772442

>just like 4 variants copy pasted throughout the whole game.

That's my argument

>>13772035

Take responsibility for your inadequacies. It's the only way to improve. Instead of deflecting your failure onto someone else, claim it. This shit is easy to see. It was visually designed to jump out at you but still look like it's part of the wall. It's good visual design. It incorporates a puzzle element into the visual design of the environment. You are frankly a little bitch for complaining about it.

>>13772454

>finding something is a puzzle now

What the fuck is your definition of a puzzle?

>>13772342

yep, too many cuckchanners/ledditors/goons/other internet scum have really shat up 8ch

>>13772442

It's a symmetrical pattern smack dab in the middle of the screen on the brightest brick. That it's clearly man made and symmetrical makes it stand out quite a bit. Are you playing this game at a double digit resolution or something?

>>13772035

Anon don't bother. Only look for buttons if you get stuck, otherwise you end up just looking at walls for the entire game. Want me to give you some grimrock pointers for new players?

>>13772500

That's great advice if you want to miss half the game.

>>13772465

It stumped you didn't it?

>>13772526

Hardly, and in my experience the secret hold nothing of value unless you're a minotaur that can get the skull bonus.

>>13772540

Now you are just flat out lying

>>13772500

>otherwise you end up just looking at walls for the entire game

Yeah, that's kind of what my problem with this was. It's like the game expects me to turn and stare at every single wall tile I pass.

>Want me to give you some grimrock pointers for new players?

It's been pretty easy so far, but sure. I do have a head hunter minotaur, though.

>>13772571

You playing one or two?

>>13772577

1

>>13772571

If they're all as obvious as the one in the OP, you shouldn't have to stare as much as just glance.

>>13772035

how could you miss it there's a giant-ass red ring around it

>>13772583

Shit anon my advice here is just go straight to 2. Grimrock 2 is a massive step up in terms of level design, and adds the most important spell in the game force field. You have a minotaur with the skull bonus and that is really good because you get some massive points from it, but let me try to remember playing it.

1. Starting out you need to poor all your points into weapons as defense is rarely enough if you get backed into a corner. The reason for this is that have only two ways of influencing the enemies grid movement, and that is killing them, or freezing them.

2. You really fucking need those freeze bombs yo. I believe alchemist make them from the blue weed, and the purple moss. In fact alchemists are super important because that's the only way to heal since no healing spells. In fact almost no spells at all.

3. I recommend not even bothering with magic for your first play through. Magic is shit tier because they don't do much, but if you have a rogue with missile weapons mages can continually enchant your arrows after each use.

4. Magic can be abused though because it can't miss. Poor all your points into air magic, and lightning bolt is very powerful. And trust me about those freeze bombs they will save your life.

That's all I can think of right now.

>>13772619

Don't listen to this casual faget. He does not have a power party that can dominate the world.

>>13772619

>You really fucking need those freeze bombs

What? You really dont

>alchemists are super important

The only true portion of your post

> I recommend not even bothering with magic for your first play through

Holy fucking shit you are a complete shitter or trying some ebin trolling. Dont listen to this shitter, OP

>>13772631

I bet you fucking didn't even make to the end.

>>13772634

Butthurt mage

>>13772035

There's a fucking red circle around it, you retard.

>>13772655

Grimrock 2 did make magic a lot better yes, but then there is no reason to not just play magic of grimrock.

>>13772442

>There's not really much practice involved.

Any repetitive exposure to something amounts to practice, but I agree that it's not exactly an intensive skill.

>>13772961

If you understood the concept of shame you'd feel it when you were proven wrong, instead you deflected like some kind of leddit faggot.

>>13772999

And if you were from here you would never have showed your steam page, or that fact you actually purchase a game with such little content. Keep on going though, we might as well see how long you'll sperg out for.

>>13773009

He just isn't giving any advice why not telling me why mine is wrong.

>>13773031

Magic is good, firearms is bad. Having one alchemist in the party is good and having at least one beefy frontliner is awesome too. You could do fine your first playthrough with a firearms guy but it really doesnt do well compared to other specs. I dont think I ever used freeze bombs much

>>13773068

>firearms

OP is playing grimrock one.

>>13773078

Im done

>>13772619

>>13773086

Oh is that why you people are sperging out? I just mentioned grimrock 2 because it was better. I wasn't talking about 2 at all when I was giving advice.

>>13773001

You pirated a game from a small time dev that is aimed at a niche dungeon crawler audience and you're trying to claim I am "sperging out"? Do you know what irony is?

Even making the claim the game has no content is a lie as you can get two playthroughs out of the game (first time should be blind) and it has workshop dungeons.

It is one thing to be wrong but to make assumptions of others or outlandish claims is just beyond idiotic. Go crawl into the toilet and flush it on yourself so you can go back to whatever leddit you belong in.

>>13772035

Ahh this thread made me want to play some grimrock, it was a pretty cozy game considering I'm not a retard like OP, any opinions on the second one?

git gud OP

>>13773199

The second one is leaps, and bounds above the first. If you liked grimrock one, or simply just want more try it out. It has better mods as well, but most of the really popular ones are garbage.

>>13772097

You are calling a basic pattern bullshit. Fuck sake son. Remember to put your whole head in front of the shotgun.

BUGGED EYE MECHANICS WOW

My problem with those secrets is not that it was impossible to notice, it's that most of the time you kind of wanted to be staring at walls in order to notice most of them.

>this is bait

>people replied to it

>>13772472

It's always someone else's fault. The problem is never us.

>>13772035

>>13772107

Does the game tell you to look for some kind of hidden switch? If so then OP is retarded, but otherwise I can understand it being overlooked.

>>13772035

That sticks out like dogs balls. They may as well have a neon sign saying CLICK HERE place there.

How fucking new RU?

>Autism of Grimrock

>>>/reddit/

>>13776592

This is better bait than OP, at least.

>>13772442

>right in the middle of the screen

Is that supposed to be hard to spot or something?

Stop looking at dick you blind faggot.

>>13772035

>bricks generally uniform design

>One has a BIG FUCKING CRACK IN IT

>"Pixel hunting"

Grimrock is the dark souls of dungeon crawling, it seems.

>>13776683

It's not in the part of the wall where the secret buttons usually are, so if you've gotten used to quickly scanning the same parts of each wall tile and moving on (which you probably will, because checking every wall tile for secrets gets extremely tedious and you'll want to get it over with quickly), there's a good chance you'll miss it.

>>13772035

Should have gone to Specsavers.

>>13777314

>play it ears ago

>barely play it

>start it again recently

>basically get sucked in and finish it

What a strange turn of events. How is Grimrock 2? I really enjoyed the first, although it definitely wasn't perfect.

>>13781791

Grimrock 2 is even better. Don't read up any more on it. Its a solid game though if you get over hyped for it, you might end up disappointed as the fact that its a great game in a long dead genre isn't easily expressible.

>>13777314

I found Grimrock 2 really boring. I didn't like the island and outdoor setting and never finished.

>>13782777

The fuck do "roguelikes" have to do with this. It's a dungeon crawler.

>>13772442

>>13772035

> everyone falling for an obvious shitpost and taking it seriously.

>>13782777

Checked. You should read the thread, but grimrock 2 is at least worth playing for fun. It has serious issues though with really stupid ideas such as water being the deadliest obstacle in the game, and not because of drowning.

>>13772035

I think it's a homage to the older dungeon crawlers like Eye of the Beholder that had bullshit like secret walls you could walk trough that were not distinguishable from regular walls. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

>>13772442

If you think this is pixel hunting you need to play Sierra games, so far nothing you've posted isn't something that would take days or even weeks of trial and error to find. Real pixel hunting is much worse then these examples like even if you knew where to click you'd still be doing it for several minutes-hours without a picture to cross reference.

>>13773949

Yeah.

You get a note that says "loose rock" for finding the secret and pretty much all the secrets after that have that loose rock.

>>13782787

>It's a dungeon crawler.

And roguelikes aren't? Dungeon crawling is a primary trait of roguelikes.

>>13786011

>and falls back to good old 'merely pretending'

Oh no, I wasn't pretending. I meant I expected the replies to be shitposting.
