[SPOILERS] Why I am not buying this game

[Curunir]

Short spoiler for the OP:

There are arrows on the same level as the 4-item puzzle.
There is a skull sitting in plain sight at the entrance to the previous level.
Why would you stop carrying rocks when they're used all the time, for all sorts of puzzles?

Seriously, I do think you're coming up with excuses for not buying games, which is indeed a douchebag move, especially with indie devs.

I make it a case to pirate games. I play through them fully. If i enjoyed myself after the game I'll buy a new copy.

I seriously wonder how restaurant owners think of you, when at the end of the dinner, you say: "I'm not going to pay you, because there was this small thing in the side dish that wasn't to my taste."

Do people really use rocks like that? I find it such a waste, as rocks can actually be used as weapons and as ammo as well, making them pretty versatile. Whenever I can pick what to leave behind, it's going to be a torch, burned out if I have one available.

And AFAIR there's a rock that pins Toorum note on the same level...

I do the same thing when I go to restaurants.

They are pretty heavy too...

I certainly liked that puzzle. And seriously, 3 of the 4 items were literally within 20 seconds walk away! And the fourth, up to the previous level, sitting in plain sight by the stairs down (1 min walk there and back, tops). And OP, sticking it to "the man" is so last century. Well, you probably weren't born then, never mind.

i read tear of the land to mean magma,which turns into rocks,so i dont think a herb could count and bane a refference to arrow bane.

but playing as toorum i forgot this puzzle and you dont have the luxury to carry unwated stuff heck you dont have the luxury to carry much food or herbs even.

That's true, the game isn't balanced for Toorum mode though, it's an extra special challenge mode.

I agree to be honest the last puzzle was simply bad, you shouldn't make puzzles that rely on carrying useless items found in the previous part of the game (unless they're like bound to you, and can't be discarded, call it "quest" item) if you want them not to be frustrating. It's also true that even if it was annoying lots of items were available in the same level of the puzzle. Still it was a just one bad thing among many other good things.

And yes rocks are useless, if you would use a rock for every puzzle and pressure plate you'll run out pretty soon, arrows aren't needed either if you don't have a archer, skulls also are useless without the feat.

The riddle was good but not the mechanism.

haven't heard such excuses for a while - tbh the OP wouldn't even buy a game if it was perfect for 0.99 € . He'd find some weird excuse for it like ' the name sucked' or something similar.
Pirating a game that cost less than 15 € is pretty low and a slap in the face of the developers. I do hope the OP belongs to the working class and one day at the end of the month i do hope his boss will come to him and tell him ' thanks for your work bud - but i am sorry i don't like your face - no payment for you - sorry !'

OP is an obvious flamebait and considering the subject matter, endorsing theft, it would be pathetic if anyone who actually bought the game allowed this thread to continue. Can someone please delete it?

And WTF?? Who pirates indie games? The same people who are proud not to have worked an honest day in their lives, and steal their cable TV?
