    Gray Matter Group Play Empty Gray Matter Group Play

    Post by genkicoll Wed Jul 16, 2014 10:24 am

    At least five of us have Gray Matter, and since we can't do the Memoria group play until everyone has purchased and played Satinav (c'mon sale!) why not actually PLAY our shiny new game? Elk grin

    We'll start whenever everyone has it downloaded and installed and is ready to go~

    Find the game topic HERE, and here are the "official" rules for our group play:

    The people who are participating come to this thread to discuss the game.  Anything about the game:  The graphics, sounds, story, impressions, and cries for help.  The only thing you need to remember is that we don't want to ruin any surprises or storyline specifics for those who haven't played yet, so please hide this kind of information!

    There are two ways to do this:

    Use spoiler tags, which look like this [ spoiler]Type your spoiler here.[ /spoiler] (without the spaces inside the brackets.  When you do it right, it will look like this once you submit your post:
    Spoiler:

    You can click on the Preview button (to the left of the Send button) if you want to be sure you've done it right before submitting.

    Change the color of your text.  To do so, highlight the text whose color you want to change, click on the button at the top of the reply box that looks like nine little colored squares, and choose the color you want.  Once you post, the background will be a light blue color, so keep that in mind ;)

    The goal is to have fun playing this together, whilst still having the information in the thread be helpful for anyone who comes along later -- even if it's a year from now!

    If you need help, try asking in the thread (don't forget your spoiler tags!) before resorting to the Walkthrough.  I much prefer getting hints to actually being told exactly what to do, and that's the beauty of a group play Sunny

    No no, that's just fine!  It's something that I imagine we learn pretty quickly, so no worries :D

    EDIT: I just went to watch the intro for the game before I go to bed, and it turns out that I don't have it installed?! D\\'oh!  What the heck! lol~  *dl'ing now*

    I've downloaded the game - I think - at least it shows up that way but I can't get it installed/playing. Could it be because I'm currently playing another GOG game? That makes no sense I know but I'm not sure what's going on. Still trying...

    - Ok deleted all filed and re-downloaded, and the game's finally installing.  Smile

    I will  get to start playing it sometime today.   I have been working a lot and finally have
    the weekend off.
    I finally  have it dl/d.   Not kidding when I say it took 2 days to dl this game.   I started
    dl/ing it,  then left to go to work.   When I came home hours later,  my laptop had
    shut itself off.  So..got it going,   scanning came on,  seemed to slow everything up.
    Finally,  I was just so tired I closed my laptop.  Next morning,  started up the dl/ing
    again.....but had to leave for work.
    When I came home....still not finished dl/ing.     So,   I sat and babysat laptop till game
    finally finished dl/ing.

    I realized I have about 6 games installed that I have started playing and have not
    finished!!    OH!    (there might be a couple more  Shock )

    They are good games....but I get easily distracted by these sales.    This is a gaming
    version of "Keeping up with the Joneses!"      Belly laugh

    JTF-  I was where you said you stopped.  The map opened up to the next spot to go to.
    I stopped there.

    I really like the beautiful scenery.    Makes it enjoyable to roam around.

    Yes, luvtoread, I love the way it looks too. I find myself wondering if this is what Oxford really looks like, because that would be cool!  Big smile 

    Games like this have improved so much! Hard to believe I ever had the patience to wade through the earlier games!

    I can see I am going to have to play a bit at a time. Or I will exhaust myself. It is very immersive, I felt myself getting into it a little too much. I have a tendency to get obsessive about things. (Like with dragons maybe Whistle)

    I enjoyed it when I played.  I did have to use a walkthrough on occasion as I have little patience when it comes to games and if I don't know what to do, I will only wander around for a little bit before I look for help.  I call it research.

    I'm enjoying the game, even though I *so* don't have the hang of magic, lol. Gray Matter Group Play Wizard

    The game is running very slow/sluggish for me, but may very well be because I also have another big GOG game currently downloaded, although I can't do anything about that since I'm playing a game with DH and those "couple" games with him take AGES.  Rolling Eyes
