Black & White 2's Expansion Is...
This video is the sixth video in an ongoing series about the games of Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios. This time we're covering Black & White 2's expansion pack Battle of The Gods.
As a side note I want to thank all of you for the kind comments you've left on the last video and the others. That video has done way better than I could ever expect and your kind words fill my heart with joy and inspires me to keep trying to get better. I am moving soon so next video may be out as late as mid july but know I'll try to get it out as soon as I can. Thanks for the support y'all.

Peter Molyneux's Last Great God Game
มุมมอง 30K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the 5th video in a retrospective series on the games of Lionhead Studios and Peter Molyneux. This time we're looking at Black & White 2 a game who's long term reputation can be summed up by one word "disappointing". While I recognize its flaws I believe this is one of the best games in the god game genre and not at all a low mark in the legacy of Peter Molyneux. Thanks for watching! Tha...

This is the 4th video in an ongoing retrospective review series on the games of Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios. This time we look at Fable: The Lost Chapters. A game that's reputation is split between nostalgia fueled lovers and those who wanted a game that met the ambition of the increasingly outlandish statements by Lionhead founder Peter Molyneux.

Lionhead Legacy: A Black & White Retrospective Review
มุมมอง 4.4K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the first part of retrospective review series on the games and legacy of Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios starting with their first game Black & White going all the way to the final game he worked on Fable: The Journey. Each video will feature a blending of the history of the development with critique of the game. I will do videos on other topics as well but I've loved Peter's games ...

    Black and white Ultimate mod will get you more polished creature in the base game. It works quite well i really enjoy the mod. Easy to intsall copy paste to the main game folder. I got back to the game and with a little outside changes it works much better.

    I loved B&W and B&W2. I would be so happy if someone made a copy cat game but take it to extremes. Like proper base game and then a DLC every now and then with multiplayer support. I think than city building stuff from B&W2 and more OP crap from B&W. Anyone wanna create a game studio? :D

    B&W 3 should be expanded and polished ideas from B&W1 with army from B&W2 without stupid UI on new engine that could make bigger scale with better graphic... that's it... nothing more...

    I wonder if the Source and the gauntlets were supposed to have some connection with the P5 VR glove? I know the original base game was going to have a lot of integration with that thing, to the extent that there's a mini game which (if I remember correctly) is unplayable because it depends on the P5 glove's haptic feedback.

    I LOVED this game, it had its flaws of course, but overall I had a lot of great times playing Black and white 2. The only part I wasn't a fan of, was having to physically assault your creature to teach them not to do things. Always made me feel like a jerk, especially if playing a "good" God.

    oh man this video made me want to play again until I thought about it long enough for nostalgia to wear off. Game was janky as heck and was a ton of fun, still better than some games coming out now IMO. Oddly, this mostly reminded me that Citizen Kane exists. That game was cool.

    ...To be honest, I think I'd replay all his games, if they were redone in current engines, using current tech, to see if he could actually provide his view, but without the restraints he had at the time. And I know I'd definitely set my VR stuff back up if there was a Black and White VR that was properly optimized.

    I'm a big fan of the first B&W and I _just_ realized I never played B&W2. At the time, I wanted them to finish everything and get all the expansions done before touching it and then so many other things happened, I seem to have forgotten to ever play it. I should fix that.

    • @DarkVeghetta

      Also, the new model for Good Conscience looks abysmally bad in the second game. What intern thought THIS was an upgrade? His beard isn't even faintly rainbow colored towards the tip anymore - the travesty! Sadly, I doubt the game can be modded to get back the original look of Good Conscience. Oh well, at least this time around Evil Conscience isn't suffering from terminal gynecomastia (it's still present, mind you, but not quite as much of an eyesore as in the first one). That said, the game seems to look great otherwise, judging by the captured footage.

    I was one of those kids who was wowed by the magazine previews for Fable back in the day. I remember buying the game on release and being INCREDIBLY disappointed that it wasn't open world like Morrowind. I still liked the game enough to finish it, but my enjoyment was definitely soured by the deceptive marketing. Good retrospective. I appreciated the context of the game's development, and I'm glad that you didn't give it a pass for the mediocre combat. It's not a bad game, but I think that it's mostly held together by its style and charm.

    É uns dos meus jogos favorito, não foi um erro ou um falha do nosso Peter, foi a ganância de empresas para entregar um serviço ou um produto! Um pouco mais de tempo e temos uma sequência extraordinária a nível da Lionhead Studios do jogo Black and White! A única falha do nosso Peter foi vender o próprio estúdio para EA!

    having not played black and white 1 and being fairly young when it came out I didn't really have any pre conceived expectations but it still disappointed me I had a lot of fun with it and loved it while I was playing, but it was a soul crushing moment when I finished the campaign and realized that was it no skirmish no multiplayer no nothing it felt like the campaign was a long tutorial for the skirmish mode that didn't exist this game gave me a very unique feeling of heartbreak that I don't think anything else ever has

    City building and strategy is having a little revival with Manor Lords and Total War Warhammer being popular right now. I would love to see something like Black and White again. But its been so long so I might just replay 2 instead.

  • @ForemostCrab7

    Since you can import your Creature, i brought my literal one man army of a creature, who i had trained so gods damned much, that even against end game creatures, he did nearing 200 damage a hit, he could essentially damn near One Tap the enemy creature, and break down walls and gates in mere seconds, i didn't even have to worry about keeping him healed because he was so absurdly powerful that his health was through the roof. At the start of each new map in the base game, i would just sent him in, and then not care, i instead focused on building my town's walls and such, only to recall that i sent in my creature, check the enemy's city, only to find it in ruins, in where i send in my "army" to capture their capital. Man, nostalgia...i still cry over the fact that we never got a B&W3, life's not fair.

    Seen a few god games show up here and there in the indie scene but nothing quite hitting the itch i want and need yet might give this a go tho the side quests to put it off for me. Peter to me seems less like a liar to me but more of a overly excited guy who just says all the stuff he wants or planned to put in the game before realizim came in and stuff must be cut.
