I don't normally comment on ZP stuff (although I do watch it religiously), but if you see this yahtzee, do this some more. Your writing is even better then some of your ZP work, so yeah, more Extra Punctuation would be awesome, if you can find the time to add to your ZP work.
How do you know he was being sarcastic? Do you read minds or something? You honestly give people in general to much credit to just assume he was being sarcastic.megalomania said:
My never-ending faith in humanity lets me hope he was being sarcastic! Otherwise he is just another ADHD riddled teenage boy with the attention span of a fruit fly that will be found on XBox Live teabagging his victims and screaming incoherently down the microphone. But I didn't think we tolerated those sorts at The Escapist...Kstreitenfeld said:
Always something new on the Escapist. I personally don't mind reading (actually, I love it) and I was always interested to see how Yahtzee did in the written word (well, extremely critical, as always).
I think you have to examine this game in context. One of the frustrating thing about the original Overlord was that your minions collected armor and weapons and became much more stronger over time, but then ultimately were killed off by the nearest boss. I always wanted to be able to resurrect my minions, not because I cared about them (although, to be frank, I did care that my most armored minion died), but because it was better to have stronger minions, and I lost all those stronger minions eat the end of every level, leaving me weaker for it.
I thought the mistresses were pretty arbitrary, though. It was really the minions I care about.

Jesus, might this be the thing that makes Yahtzee realise that not all of his fans are complete arses with a extra helping of cheese.
I find humor in that what you stated is - oh, so obvious. Yet, developers try to state what they think is - oh, so obvious. Whatever, it's the consumer's fault for not realizing shit, and do something about it; most of you twats are happy with mediocrity. I am too because I can't make games. Until then, or until some other cool guy makes some good shit, we'll just have to wait.
Did that make sense?

Actually, he hates Joss Whedon. He explains it too in one the casts he was on. One of those big debates about Joss Whedon.CapnJack said:
Though he's got a point about Whedon and his characters. They are all the same concepts just in different bodies. (though I would have to say, Mal and Inara would be more like Buffy and Spike than Buffy and Angel.)
I don't Yahtzee has played the original (he'd know you could choose a mistress that had benefits for gameplay in the first) and so can't look at it in context.HobbesMkii said:
Largely, Overlord 2 expects people to care about all those things because those were the things people who played the first game said they cared about and wanted in the sequel.
I had some moments in certain games where I really got attached to NPC's because they were an important element in gameplay. Even if the NPC is just an extra (I'm thinking Fallout 3 followers) I always hit that quickload button once they die. Yeah, forcing the player to like an NPC, when that really doesn't have any benefit or add gaming experience, is pretty stupid.
