The less said about island fricking 3 the better. That was the level that killed my enjoyment of the game. Same old shit went on for hour after hour.

i dont play shooters. (never liked them, never will)
i really like slower games (Adventures, RPGs, turn based Strategy games) but B&W became boring after some time.

i have played through the first 3 or 4 islands of B&W. the first tutorial island was really primising. lots of stuff to explore, the second map was ok to, but iirc there was less to to than on the first map. and the later maps just became more and more boring.

and when i look at some community sites that had 100s of forum posts per day before the game went gold and dropped to just a few/day after some weeks i think quite a lot of people were really disappointed.

What did you expect, for your zebra to rocket jump around and railgun the villagers?

Sweet!! I'm thinking mod!!

Gimme a freaking Godzilla, who wants a Cow when you could have a Godzilla or a Giant insect with no intelligence at all, but an insatiable appetite. Bessie the Cow meet my Giant Praying Mantis, it doesn't have a Name, and it doesn't care if you pet it. In fact you can't train it at all, but it sure likes to eat.

Sounds like BW2 will be Populous 3, which is just fine by me. I played that game for like 24 hours straight and nearly missed a midterm. B&W was okay, but it was no Populous, or even Warmonger. Anyone remember Warmonger? If you want to figure out really what was the first RTS, play Warmonger on the Amiga. Most under-rated game ever.

fao: Peter Molyneux:

any chance of making a variety of games, like wot you did do of days of olde' ?

ps. i guess i've blown my chance of employment

Completely unrelated, but I could do with a new Magic Carpet, Crusader, and Bioforge, too...

Having finally installed Mafia, having a blast,

The worst thing about black and white, in my opinion, was the creatures, it was so annoying having to train them all the time and pay attention like they really had feelings and needs or something, that got old after you learned that your creature isn't realy *that* smart...Allthough I enjoyed the god-sim town building part of the game a lot. The funnest thing to do in that game is to leash your creature to a rock and leave him there while you mess around building towns, or just go to the god's playground and mess around there for hours...sounds like black and white 2 is heading in the right direction.

Since this time battles play a more prominant role, I'd like to see more variety between the creatures.

The first ones were OK, but they were just tweaks on each other. Give me a big-ass scorpion (non-bipedal obviously) that's barely controlable, dumb as a doorknob and slaughters everything mindlessly.

Obviously your preferred gaming style does not match the concept of Black and White. What did you expect, for your zebra to rocket jump around and railgun the villagers? It's a slower paced SIMish game. If you don't appreciate the game due to it's genre, then don't freaking play it. Stick with simple, mind numbing shooters.

if someone from Lionhead reads this:
make B&W2 fun. bw1 had some nice parts but it was the most boring game ever.

i hope the creatures have fur like nVidias werewolf or ATI's bear demos. that would be very kewl!!

Syndicate Wars: The *Proper* Version, should be made instead of this Black& White nonsense.

Hell yes!! We are long overdue for a true sequel to Syndicate. That was easily one of the best games of all time.

Does anyone remember a game on the nes named Snake Rattle and Roll? I saw it in a store for $5(looked fun so I bought it) and a few months later it became one of the best selling games on the nes.

I Wish someone would make another Dungeon Keeper.

My attitude is this - buy any game that's $5. Well, don't buy Extreme Paintbrawl (though I did) but just about any game that's $5 is a good deal. Think about it - the Deer Hunters of the world will always be $20 but at $5, Daikatana, KISS: Psycho Circus and Heretic II are incredible deals. The Hooters Extreme Racings of the world were developed on the cheap and are designed to stick it to consumers at a "high" price ($20) but games like Black & White were developed on multimillion dollar budgets - that's worth $5 right there.

The other thing I'm liking - especially since I (*gasp*) never owned a PSX and now I own a PS2 is the $5 PSX game. Few weeks back Best Buy had SHEEP for $5 - that's well worth it. Hell, when Blaster Master came out Circuit City had it for $5. This week CC has Rainbow Six for the PSX for $5 - I'll pass on that one, but in my experience, any recent game is worth at least $5.

Did I make a mistake?

Depends, do you like God games? If so, yes. Otherwise better off buying a slice of pizza and a beer with that fin.

I almost bought 'B&W' for $5 yesterday, but didn't.

Did I make a mistake?

This seems to be a lot better then the first one. Forget 100 ft. tall beasts, just give me 300 angry Scotsmen with axes.

My bet is that the game will be out for about 3 days before we have a Godzilla vs. Japanese army mod.
