- 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.
13:35 "and a wish for a sequel." 😰😭😭😭 My man, you hit the nail with this one! There isn't a game quite like Black & White , and Black & White 2
seeing this makes me so sad that the will never be a black and white 3 and the is not even any spiritual successes to pick up the torch. black and white was my fav game as a child
There is a fan theory that the undead god in this Expansion is actually Nemesis resurrected in a flawed ritual, which is why he is all about wiping out life now and does not mention he is Nemesis and seems to act different than he is in the first game.
I remember buying this game first, mistaking it for Black and White 2, I did get Black and White 2 in the end though. I still own it today on disc and it works even on windows 11, I use the fan patch.
I got 100% tricked into thinking this was a Pokemon Black & White 2 review but I wasn’t disappointed.
You aren't old enough to have thought otherwise
@@Bgh583 Im sure a bunch of zoomers know about the games from jerma
@@thaumly Who's Jerma? XD
this is obviously a lie and just a lazy joke. imagine how dumb you would actually have to be.
Enjoying this series of retrospectives!! I feel like Black and White doesn’t get enough attention these days!
I am also glad the audio balancing is better in this video. I had to keep changing the volume on previous episodes.
Looking forward to The Movies
Haha I appreciate you sticking with me. You can tell I didn’t pay enough attention in my audio classes.
Also, The Movies was an amazing game. So many hours of my life spent making the perfect and cleanest studio.
Will you cover peters other games? Like the disaster of godus?
Comment for the algo, keep it up man, these videos are great, and hopefully learning about looking into magazines from the time for whatever games you cover post Bullfrog/ Lionhead helps you research better
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.
I am the hardcore fanbase begging for a new game. (or at least a re-release)
Thank you for making these two vids! - I fondly remember B&W2.
I loved black and white! Played it again recently, still so good!
Thanks for releasing this just as I finished binging your other videos! :)
What a timing, this review is only 3 months old and I was just recently considering getting back into Black&White 2 as an adult with (jokingly) Uber Gamer skills, after being fully done with B&W 1. This comes in perfectly in time. Thank you!
I want this game to come GoG so bad!
I've liked what I've seen and am interested in The Movies review, especially since I greatly enjoy sims games. Subscribed for more such videos.
Also, the quality here is on par with much bigger channels; well done and I hope you keep at it.
Thank you so much this just gave me the motivation boost I need to get some work done on the next one
you're doing great. get a pop-filter so those P's remain windless.
Haha it’s on the shortlist of things to buy after I move.
I never played the expansion pack but i still have the base game cd. I played this to death but as a kid i was never that good. I wanna retry it in the near future. You should also do the movies. It was rad!!
Black and White had its own production column in PC Gamer. Either a columnist reporting on the process and blog or actually interviewing folks at Lionhead on site.
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
the shield miracle protected from catapults (so kinda useless) and in my experience, it somewhat (but not entirely) protects against the hurricane wonder. that how the shield miracle was useful in the base game.
I never really got into the expansion pack. The focus on combat resulted in a lot more stressful experience when i just wanted to have fun and comfy god builder.
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!
I honestly liked black and white 1 more than the 2. It just hits different. In the first you rly had to teach your creature while in the second you just go through the list and beat the shit out of it.
Besides i never rly went into the building aspect of the game. I always just did 2 sky scrapers and all the other buildings around. Made almost all population breeders and raised massive armies.
are there any games that are atleast similar to b&w 2? I love this game and I wish I could forget and play again
I still play black and white also the redux mod is amazing people should defo give it a go can change difficulty and play skirmish and so much more
This feels a little different than you other videos, like more personal and less documentary like. Great video either way. Looking forward to retrospective on the movies :)
It's pronounced /ˈvərd(ə)nt/
i dont want a sequel i want a prequal. what happened before the first time the big hand came from outer space?
how does someone get this game?
The high seas
Been loving these vidoes! keep it up
Bruh black and white 2 was fucking peak!
took you 15 hours for 3 levels ? took me less tha none afternoon...
Holy shit, I don't think I've ever seen anyone else talk about Black And White on youtube.
I was starting to think it was a fever dream!
Haha thank you so much!!!
6:02 you can see the boulders rolling down the hill
right when he says my mind is toast. and again a bit after that
@@MrBearz-eb1hl haha I did make sure to point out they existed
Nice video! had to subscribe. How did you play the game? Haven't found it anywhere legally, and I tried getting it by sailing the high seas but couldn't get it to run
Thanks for subscribing! :) Yeah it’s not gettable legally as for getting it to run the bwgame forum and myabondonware page for the game both have guides for getting it to run.
how the hell did you get a version of this that works?
does anyone know where i can find a copy of this game ?
Indie dev should just make a new B&W
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.
What Creature was it? Bloodthirsty Killer Cow?
@@maze6044 No it was the Lion cause it is the best fighter, if i chose the Cow i'd have to train him Thrice as hard to make him That powerful.
I never in my life expected to see a Black and White video in 2024.. holy shit, B&W is so damn old.. and they made a sequel? And the sequel is getting an expansion pack?!
Why can't we have a third game?:(
Maaan I got The Movies day 1ish - I really wanted for it to be great but I felt you couldn't really do proper movies in it without loosing money xD
i have shitty memory and cant remember most gam4es i played even if they where actually good but every few years my mind goes back to the black and white series and i wish there was something new for me.
there is a disturbing lack of god games and i feel like the series had it figured out how they should be.
black and white would be a great vr remake or sequel
I never knew this expansion existed.
Why do I click on every video about black and white? nice work
Remastered version on steam now pls
One of my favourite up and coming youtubers.
Hope you get around to Populous 3 sometime, that game slapped hard.
A VR remake version of this game would be really incredible😢
One day. One day there will be spiritual successor for it
Fata deum is under development :). Fingers crossed for a good launch :)
How do u buy this game
Good videos sire, just had them recommended the other day and finished them now
Best game ever, where you can play with the company logo.
How do i fix my audio problem as my game has no audio I downloaded it online
B&W 1 was far better
Phenomenal channel and video. Looking forward to much more - top tier TH-cam right here
black and white 2 was a big part of my childhood. i wish we did get a 3rd game, or a spiritual successor someday.
With VR developing, we are close for a successor friend
Dude why do you only have 400 subs, im gonna see what I can do about that
My biggest problem with battleground of the gods was the whole "game can only run on one core" thing. You hit a certain point of growth and everything starts to chug in the giant maps. I don't know how it is with current beefy cpus but it was a real issue a generation or two ago.
Definitely a lot better now to the point where you have to go into your graphics card control panel to cap it at 60FPS or else the cutscenes are wonky.
Another banger of a video, I fear there will never be another game that captures the fun scope of Black and White quite the same, if someone remastered it I would never be seen away from my computer again dude.
And that's even with its letdowns for sure.
Best new channel on TH-cam.
I love that old game played it when I was 6
How many crashes did it take to finish this video?
@@christiaangritter5381 thanks to fan patches surprisingly none!
@@erikmcswain Might also have to do with the shorter length. Much less stuff to keep track of in the game world. It really doesn't like going above 1k population. At that point the villager AI starts to bug out and crash on save starts to become present.
Anywho, great series, looking forward to a potential covering of the mods for 1 and 2. That'd be pretty neat, and might even touch on some of the things you've criticized,
hell yeah
ayyyy my new fav channel
ty algorithm
Thank you for watching !
Peter Molyneux is a genius because he understands that software is made of language, words, programming language. We would not have these games if it were not for his lies, because he understood that he could create stuff just by saying it should exist.
I WISH I COULD PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE AGAIN
