Black and white 2

Users who are viewing this thread

i want to.... out of money, grounded and internetless.... mite be quite hard getting my hands on it tho :cry:
 
I've already bought the strategy guide (just so I can see pics and read about the dirty details of the game mechanics) and cannot wait for the game.

Lionhead have (again) outdone themselves, it appears. If half of what the strategy guide says is possible, is true .... Mmmmmm!

Won't buy it, but I'll try it out one way or the other :smile:. Too many great games coming out lately, hardly any time for M&B.
 
After what I've heard it seems to be a little bit better than I expected, but I'm saving up my money for a new pc and for Oblivion.

If you take a look at the first B&W though: you couldn't teach your creature anything. All the fuss they made about "gigantic creatures capable of learning!" was just a damn lie. Your creature barely got bigger than 3 villagers stacked upon eachother (well, somewhat), and in the last level where you need your creature the most it's totally useless, even after you destroy the wonders. Nearly everything was scripted, and the last level overused special spells so much, they where just like the rain spell (or any other meaningless one). The whole damn storyline was just based on taking over villages. There were but 5 levels anyway. o_O Plus, the multiplayer was bugged as hell. And if you were playing in the 3rd SP level at the time, your creature was frozen in the MP as well. :roll:
Your creature and the enemies were always of the same size. In the 1st level, Nemesis abondoned than humongeous creature and swapped it for a simple lion, also 3 villagers high. Talking about unlogical.
Villages can't exist without a god. What bull**** is that? You had to feed them like little babies, and make whores to keep the village alife. I heard that the villages will be more independant in B&W2, but that could also be a dirty lie. A god has better things to do than caring about his worshipper, doesn't he?
The new good creatures look like yellow furballs, and the evil ones like burned down scare crows. I'm not saying that restyling your creature's hair by throwing a fireball at him isn't cool, but they really overused the fur some.

Enough ranting for today though.
 
it better be good its been like 5 years in the making. Not that i doute it. I loved B&W, the concept was perfect, it just needed those little touches, which i am hoping no. 2 can bring.
 
There are so many games that I want, I think that I'm going to explode!

Here is my list:

DOW: Winter Assault
RTW: Barbarian Invasion
Oblivion
B&W 2
The next version of m&b, but i doubt that counts
Star Wars: Battlefront 2
Star Wars: Empire at War

and probably to be expanded with a ****load of others in a few weeks...

WHY DO THE BASTARDS HAVE TO RELEASE IT ALL NOW?
 
Black and White 1 was simply a stepping stone, the second game is going to be nothing like it. Or well, you're still god, but everything else is different. The developers payed huge attention to just making the game more user friendly, and easier to play. Unlike the first, which was a perl in the rough.

Agreed. B&W 1 was a good game ... but they had a very original concept and there was a steep learning curve. From the looks of things ... B&W 2 is getting everything 'just right'.

Anyone else have the strategy book on here?
 
Actually, in B&W your creature could reach mountain tops, but it just took _long_. I cheated once just to see it's maximum height. Quite fun to have it stamp and wreak havoc over small enemy (or your own) towns ^^.
 
The creatures in B&W 2 will not be quite as large as they could get in B&W 1 ... but will be much easier to gain maximum growth.

Creatures start as "a mere four meters tall" ... full grown they are 11 meters tall.

In the screenshots ... they tower over everything around them.

This game is going to be great!
