Aash Li Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 So is anyone going to get this game? Has anyone gotten it? Theyve been working on this game for the last two years I think. heh Seems rather interesting... heres the new stuff it can do: B&W 2 Features I like that you get to play Japanese in the game this time.

Jeff Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It looks pretty good, but I will probably wait for a price drop. I never did end up beating the 1st game, but still enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 i'm not sure. it looks interesting, but i haven't seen much that's caught my attention. meh, one of my friends has it, so i'll just 'borrow' it from him, hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir-Vlada Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I am a fan of Black and White also. I got it and it's AWSOME! You're a GOD, you do WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT, you build cities, conquer people, throw rocks around, throw villagers around , use SPELLS , and th best part is: You have a giant, fully inteligent, programmable and alignment aligned CREATURE. The only bad thing is: It's short If you are going to get the game, do NOT pre-order it, it's not worth it. Great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 I was looking at teh strategy book for it today, and thats the first thing I noticed: its short, perhaps to short to justify its price (which I think was around 40$). Not a bad price, just a bit steep... Does it have a map editor or something to go with it? If it doesnt, I hope it ends up with one, map editors, like mod-ability extend the playability greatly. ^_^ The selling point for me, is the Japanese culture. hehe. Last game it was the Egyptians that made the game neat... The one thing I dont like about the game is the animal avatar... Id rather have the game have a human avatar... walk around all jesus-like and stuff hehe. Maybe someone will make a mod for it... I know you could mod the first game.

Jeff Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 The human avatar is a good idea. That would be a nice change, but I still like the creature idea too. I'd probably use both on multiple playthroughs, if I got the game that is, and if they had the human avatars that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad price, just a bit steep... I am sorry, but I have to be honest: The game is so simple, that you didn't even have to go through the tutorial. Does it have a map editor or something to go with it? If it doesnt, I hope it ends up with one, map editors, like mod-ability extend the playability greatly. ^_^ Before the game went gold, I was checking out the Lionhead Forums (and still am), and they said that they will release mod tools and tutorials in a month or two. But that didn't stop the people to figure out how to modify things like construcion time, tribute costs and so. The one thing I dont like about the game is the animal avatar... Id rather have the game have a human avatar... walk around all jesus-like and stuff hehe. Maybe someone will make a mod for it... I know you could mod the first game. I would have made a human avatar a long time ago, If I knew how to model. The human avatar is a good idea. That would be a nice change, but I still like the creature idea too. I'd probably use both on multiple playthroughs, if I got the game that is, and if they had the human avatars that is I would like that also. But it wouldn't be good; considering a... fact abut teaching your creature. The players of the original Black and White know what I am talking about, but I'll just give a hint so that I... won't be rude. Read the spoiler. To teach your creature, what is right or wrong. For wrong: punish it, slap it. For right: reward it by... touching it... for 10 minutes... You'll get what I mean. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yea, the first one was alright. I might have to check this out as it looks like they improved several elements. I like the new features. I almost bought it the other day, but decided to get a few movies instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 lol yes, there are aspects about the human avatar that just arent a good idea... like teaching it to go potty, and stuff. lol. Well you could make it a girl, no one says the avatar has to be male... then it would be more like porn. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Is this one of those Peter Molyneux things....I hate that guy, never trust anyone with E-U-X in their name (nice job with Fable Pete...hehehe) Now, I'll get back to drooling for Dragon Age thankyouverymuch mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Terros Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 No skirmish and you have to play as the greeks *yawn i wanted the japanese they looked awesome* I got bored of it very very fast i was also hoping the combat/army system would be better but that was pretty lame too it was a case of build yourcity wait for them to reproduce then swarm the enemy And as for all this amazing A.I half the time my creature or army couldnt even find their way around a wall without me telling them when to To be honest i think its actually a step backwards from the first game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoM Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Still, it managed to keep a 13+. Even though the siren! *Fires the siren miracle for the eighteenth time* [siren]I am what you want![/siren] Yes, i've got the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir-Vlada Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 ^^^ How the heck did you manage to get all the tribute fot that?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilleApplePie Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I played black and white one through a few times. One of the games I played, my animal started farting like it was going to poop, so I slapped it...and it never went to the bathroom through the entire game. It was always at 100% poop, but it never once went to the bathroom. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoM Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 ^^^ How the heck did you manage to get all the tribute fot that?! You only have to buy it once, then you can fire it as many times as you want. If you want to know how to get 400 000 tribute, then just do all the objectives! And don't waste tribute on useless stuff... And stop asking about 400 000 tribute, and ask about the volcanos 1 000 000 tribute instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 {snip} lucasforums does not condone piracy I got to the first land in the game... and the senario leading up to it had me giggling... not because anything funny happened or was said... but just the choices of cultures they chose for the game. Norse Japanese Aztec Greek And heres the funny part... The Aztecs in the opening senario after the tutorial invaded and defeated your chara's greek city! Explain to me how this is possible since the Greeks were martially superior to the Aztecs? The only way I could see this happening is like what the Goths did when they sacked rome. *shakes her head* And from what Ive heard, in the game, Aztecs and Norse are stronger than teh Greeks and Japanese! Leave it to LH and EA to screw things up... I ought to go find my BnW1 game heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoM Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yay! I've bought the...*Drumroll* VOLCANO!!!!!11111onehundredeleven And used it. Also, for instacharging epics, build...A real...Big...Huge...Bunch of punishment poles! About a hundred really increases productivity, and they only require wood! Lowers happiness, i think, though.
