Overlord... you're thoughts

I just finished playing the demo and I thought "WoW! that was a lot of fun!" and I think I may definately look into buying this when it comes out...

But I was wondering, is this game hyped at all? I didnt think much of the game until I tried the demo but also what did everyone else think of this game?!

Controls are eh, kinda difficult but everything else about the game just made it seem worth buying... in my opinion

I found the demo to be pretty entertaining, and will really consider buying it. my only complaint is that the camera could be improved a little.DevilMustCry

oh yeah thats true... I noticed that it was kinda hard to angle the camera around as well...but I thought the spells and minions were really cool and the minions especially... it was funny to see them put on pumpkins as a helmet :)

i found it to be pretty fun the only thing i didnt like much was the camera it was kind of annoying at times.

i thought it suckedRamboSymbiot

Haha, my thoughts exactly. Overlord just felt to watered down, there was not much depth.

Hype really doesn't matter. I mean in summer especially, any game that is going to release will get hyped. Tenchu Z, Call of Juareze, remember Chromehounds? :)

Well I mean it doesnt really matter to me... just trying to see if there is a fan-base for it or not... Just wondering...

98% of the internet population has a Myspace. If you're part of the 2% that can resist stupid fads, copy and paste this into your sig.XxAnubisxX

Heh, it's ironic because posting 98%/2% in your sig is another stupid fad.

But I digress. Overlord was really fun in my opinion. I loved Pikmin 2 on the Gamecube and the minions and all of the gameplay was just fun and, at times, funny. If the full game keeps up that unique gameplay and funny story, it should be a great game.

thats just a stupid OT statement... but anyways I think you're right, however I never played pikmin

I was on the bandwagon, I have been watching this game for months, but the demo turned me off in a big way. They had a great idea of letting you be the bad guy, a nice mechanic of having Pikmin like minions, and then they totally crapped in the cereal with the execution of the game.

The biggest problem, was that they took a premise of being evil, and just completely wrecked it, by making it "cute" evil, I mean what the hell is the point?Yeah I know you can throw fire and smash people, but it's so hollow, and everything has this innocent quality to it, no matter how evil it is supposed to be, It's like trying to take the movie "Gremlins" as a serious horror movie, it just can't be done.

The camera angle is more work than it should be, the controls are just OK, but the other real hangup, is how crappy the presentation is. The health meter and limited hud remind me of crappy RPGs from the mid 90's.The lack of graphical detail and lackluster effects, combined with those terrible overhead numbers and symbols on your enemies and minions, they combine to make the game look like WoW or some crappy MMO, it just underwhelms you to death.

The combat is the same way, you hit and swing and all that, and the way it's presented, it's just a really unsatisfying experience, like your tiny and small and have no real power, I think a game like this should make you feel like a ruthless warrior, and the feel is just like your playing Viva Pinata as a jerk.

I don't know, I'll read the reviews and I may rent it, but after playing the demo, it's gonna take a lot for me to buy this game.

watered down? gotta remember this is just the tutorial.

Same here I hated it big time, the game would have to be alot better than the demo to make me even look at it again.

from what i understand u get more powerful as the game goes on. I enjoyed the demo but the game seemed more of a rental to me

I played it and didn't see anything special with it... the camera was very annoying and the demo really didn't impress me much. This will probably be one of those games that I get when I see it in the store for $25

Its not the kind of game to buy imo. Ill give it a rent and beat it in a couple days ^^.nooblet69

30-40 hours.

On another note, I never had a problem with the camera... I didn't even have to adjust it. I don't know what you people are talking aboot :o
