Overlord

How many of you have played this great game?

Fucking love it. Wish they'd make a third

Well they technically did, but it's a piece of shit diablo clone that's visually repulsive to look at. And instead of being a turbochad Overlord with women you play as two women, a midget and poimty eared loser.

Bump, how can you faggots forget about this series?

The original and the expansion are superior to the sequel(s)

You aren't wrong, but Overlord 2 is still pretty good and has a much more satisfying castle to roam.

what are these

Art.

I think the majority of work in Overlord 2 aside from the graphics was making the Netherworld so damn nice that they forgot about everything else.

Yeah... that shit doesn't count

So then where is the third game? How can a good IP like Overlord just die overnight? I don't recall Codemasters went under.

Loved the first one and its expansion.
Never managed to go past the icy levels in the sequel despite loving the intro, but one day i will go back and finish it.

What happened to the third one btw? The shitty Hack'Slash 5 player coop ? Did it gost cancelled ?

its ok

It's been out since 2015. It's a fucking eyesore and doesn't play at all like the first two games.

Just ok?

It really wasn't that good

Codemasters has made almost nothing but racing games since 2015.
Fellowship of Evil was also their only non-car game since 2011.

The first game's twist was pretty great, I feel like the second while more enjoyable in some places couldn't live up to the writing of the first.

it's great, second game was kind of weird though.

>Depending on your choices in the first game, the second one is even more messed up

Finding out your mother is setting the Empire to fail from inside while you grow up without her is some next level greek shit.

>Your own mother is working to procure your throne while your father is locked away in underworld

I sort of feel like the third game should have been father and son teaming up as a dark lord family in the game's weird way to complete the story.

Also apparently there is Overlord Fanfiction out there that i've seen posted time to time.

Me, I like it

>there's Overlord x MLP fanfiction out there

great game but
>save elves
>can't take them to your castle like you can with humans
beyond mad
FUCKING elves

What do you mean your mother is setting the Empire up to fail? That's not the story at all. The Empire chokes on it's own power becoming festering corruption. And your mother never wanted you to become Overlord in the first place leaving her baby to live in the shithole Nordberg.

It's a damn shame the series never reached the peak of its concept, the first game was just the floor plan for everything else to build off but nothing except maybe the first expansion and the wii game did that.

Playing as what amounts to Sauron controlling an army of creatures against a parody of the typical High Fantasy setting should be easy to come up good gameplay features for.

Completed the first one. Got to the end of the second one and it bugged out and I couldn't progress.

It's no fucking Dungeon Keeper. Fuck EA.

this game's basically pikmin, right?

Played until Oberon I think. Not sire why I quit.

Pikmin except high fantasy, yes.

Nobody likes elves user.

Pikmin for adults.

They really did drop the ball in the strategy department of this. I mean, yeah you can be strategic but most of the time bumrushing with armoured brown minions with some blue minion back up wins 9/10 fights. I could see some good use out of the system, juggling your various minions and their abilities while keeping yourself as the big guy of the fight would be tense. Unfortunately, it seems the Overlord concept is dead as the devs went on to make shit.

There was more strategy input for Overlord 2 where it encouraged you to jump into the fray against an Empire line swinging your giant ass weapon to do damage. Blues took longer to revive and Browns didn't jump onto enemies backs like the first one.

What if...
RTS sequel with asymmetrical multiplayer?

>RTS
Gay.

Who said it'd have a top-down view?

My favorite game when I was like 12-14
Still like it.
Wish more games let you play as a the villain. Btw It was written by Terry Pratchetts daughter.

>RTS game controlling one of the various "heroes" (This includes the big man himself) of the Overlord franchise from an over the shoulder perspective controlling the various armies and races as seen.
Fund it.

I'd rather have Overlord play like Overlord instead of micromanaging autistic faggot shit topped with rng dice rolls that comes with every rts.

I played it a lot.
It and the sequel are underrated.
Broke my heart how they butchered the franchise.
Also the Wii game was alright.

The Wii game is bad, but not as bad like Fellowshit. Minioncap was only 20 compared to the other two games letting you have a 50 horde.

That's a bullshit criticism.
It was smaller in scope, but it did okay with what it had.
The main games weren't technological pillars either.

It made up for it by having more interesting quests and story.

>They really did drop the ball in the strategy department of this
It was designed around a controller, which isn't really suited to micromanaging characters.

The first game story, especially the expansion is way better though.

Expansion yes, main game... eh...

>this game is better
>that means everything else is just shit
This is preteen logic, user.

eh

>topped with rng dice rolls that comes with every rts
but scbw and aoe2 and RoN have almost no rng
