Zero Punctuation: Overlord 2

[The Great JT]

I tried Overlord 2. I don't think it was BAD, per se. I just think that a little more freedom would've been better.

Sauron, the 'Sau-' is pronounced like 'how'.

 

[Paladin426]

Never played either of the Overlord games. They mever really looked all that fun.

 

[Zukonub]

Never thought about the comparison to Pikmin.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Awesome I wanted him to do this one!

 

[Zombie Badger]

The Pope would be Neutral Evil, as the laws of man hold no sway over him (though he doesn't necessarily work against them.

Sorry dude.

No, because he doesn't go around ordering people's deaths, he sits in his doom fortress legally preaching his message of hate to his brainwashed minions.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG DID YOU SEE THAT SEMI COLON EEEEEEEEEEEEK

I'm actually glad that someone compared this to pikmin, it proves that I'm not insane and that the two games actually are similar. But pikmin is better... by a lot...

absolutely brilliant review as always, was thinking about getting the game but i think i will pass now....

 

[Nargleblarg]

Hmm I was actually thinking about buying this off of steam and now I know not to thanks yahtzee.

 

[ben---neb]

I disagree. I liked it, I am liking it. Being mindlessly evil is fun. Beating seals to death is fun. Whacking gay elfs on the head is fun.

 

[MasterMaaCuuQu]

lol the asseist of the ass XD
great as always

 

[Aerodynamic]

I need to try that in Half-life. I'll load it up now!

Do it in Garrys Mod, Much more fun

 

[ikari_matt]

even the review was boring, damn game D= not that yathzee is boring but talking about a boring game was boring

 

[INK]

great job yahtzee. well said, its true its not about being a dick (neccessarily) its about breaking the rules. thank you for being the greatest game reviewer there ever was

 

[Rajin Cajun]

I actually enjoyed the original Overlord, I always found the fact that it wanted you to be evil quite fun. I suppose the idea did loose it's luster somewhere around the first few levels though. I think I'll give Overlord2 a miss.

I have to agree but honestly at times in Overlord you didn't feel that evil at all. Not even killing the village of Hobbits did I feel very evil.

"enjoy this semi-colon ;"

Great review Yahtzee.

Not to murder is his own personal value, neutral characters only go around killing folks if it benefits them, and they can justify it to themselves. If his sense of ethics allowed it (his faith) he would in a heartbeat. However, he rallies his 'troops' against any laws that displease his own arbitrary sense of moral value.
