B&W = Poor !!!!
 
I've just played B&W (ISO version) and it sucks like never ! Ok, cool graphic but that's all the gameplay suck and it's boring. Don't loose your money.

P.S. Sorry maybe I'm little bit too evil, but this game has been so waiting and it's like a normal game with a new gameplay !

Symbiosis_Bob March 27th, 2001 06:00 PM

uh....


"its like a normal game with new gameplay"


hence...a new game.....

ShadowDwarf March 27th, 2001 06:01 PM

Thats the best news i've heard all week besides the patch 3 release.Kickass now i dont have to waste my money or time, and enjoy patch 3 fully now hehe.

As much as I would love to go into a tirade of "I told you so's" right now, I think I'll wait and play the game for myself before beginning my tirade. http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif http://www.veforums.com/tongue.gif http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif http://www.veforums.com/tongue.gif http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif

Just for your information buddy, there's been a very big rumor going around about all the stolen copies of Black & White having a IP logging feature for anyone who has illegaly obtained the game.

But I don't care about that right now I need to get Patch 3. I am glad you do not like Black & White because now you will have more of a reason to stick around for Sacrifice.

Don't listen to him, there are sooo many people that have played and love it. And what is an ISO version? I have a feeling I will need to explain something to you in a second.

I'll wait for the demo,i usually always wait for a demo now b4 rushing to buy a game only to find out that it sucks ass and ive wasted 50 bucks

EvAde March 27th, 2001 06:04 PM

y u downloading illegal software anyway? at least buy the game so your sure its the proper version... and also u should be paying lionhead for your opinion

------------------
Anyhoo...

--EvAde--

Neo2K March 27th, 2001 06:22 PM

Just a little thing, if you DO have the pirated version Lionhead DOES know about your comoputer and your IP address. Right now they have gathered many IP's and are doing something with them. Sucks for you dude, that is if ISO=warez.

DK-Neo2K

spyer March 27th, 2001 06:57 PM

First guys ! I want to say that this is my opinion. I hope you will try the game and love it. This is a great game but it's not so amazing !

Second ISO it's like a warez version with no rip !

Third. Hey guys they don't have my IP. I'm not stupid I have change the registry settings. HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Lionhead studios ltd/Black & White/BWsetup --> the ip there can be changed to 127.0.0.1 (local address) and everything is fine.

Don't think I'm bitching this game. I just want to say that this game has been so granted and I personnaly think that it's not so fun like they said !

Thanks for your comprehension !

AMD March 27th, 2001 07:00 PM

I think I'll wait for the demo, it's getting near perfect scores everywhere.

Bonefish March 27th, 2001 07:25 PM

127.0.0.1 is the loopback, not local address.

Neo2K March 27th, 2001 07:30 PM

Trust me, there has been official release that Lionhead has been recieving the IP addresses. I hope if you are using the warez version you get busted. Learn to wait and buy a game freak instead of taking money away from people that earned it.

HighZenBerg March 27th, 2001 07:39 PM

Screw his IP address, I hope LionHead gets his home address.

savarian_syan March 27th, 2001 07:51 PM

Not to bash Sac, but B&W is doing VERY well on the sites, plus they have arguements stating why they think it's so good. I'd wait a little to dismiss the game instead of listening to someone who just says the game is stupid.

Cheung March 27th, 2001 07:58 PM

I just recommended the Patch 3 to a friend who just purchased Sacrifice at my recommendation.

As for the reception of B&W - are you kidding?! They are going crazy with enthusiasm. Just read the IGN review
http://pc.ign.com/reviews/3897.html

Jow March 27th, 2001 08:12 PM

Black and White is awesome. Been sitting here playing it most of the night and so far it's more than enough to make me forget Sacrifice. Not even bothering with patch 3. http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

Muffy[importedFF] March 27th, 2001 08:33 PM

My copy of B&W is just shipping now (thank you EA!). I have a feeling that I will love this game, much like I loved Populous for the Amiga. And I'm sorry, but if you don't buy the game, you don't get to criticize it. I believe those are The Rules. :|

Yeah, Spyer, go away. If you're going to criticize a game, get it legally. Also, I usually don't always trust one lone opinion on a forum when everyone else thinks something is so great. I think I'll wait until I've read enough reviews and maybe played a demo before I buy it, but I probably will. But for now, on to PATCH 3!!!!!!

Muffy: do you think the reviewers buy the games? http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

Anyway, yesterday I was about to download a rip of BW, but it was too slow download. I only did so because I was so ****ing mad at EA for releasing it in the US b4 releasing it in Europe. I mean, Lionhead is from the UK, so why release it in the other side of the world first? And then I've allready preordered the damned thing so it was like a demo for me. Not like I was d/l it instead of buying it. And that's what most people do...

The gory details: first, B&W took a brief trip over to Daily Radar and quickly whipped up on those boys with a Direct Hit, the Radar's highest award, with the author commenting it was probably the best game he'd play all year.

Then, after cinching its' handwraps a little tighter, B&W hop-skipped over to ign.pc.com (you know, those guys that tortured us with dozens of Days & Weeks of Black & White) and pulled a switch-kick roundhouse off it's left lead, scoring a 9.7.

For comparison, both Alpha Centauri and Half-Life recieved 9.5's from the same website, and Unreal Tournament recieved a 9.6. This makes B&W's score the highest IGN.PC has ever awarded any game.

See for yourself how "Poor" B&W really is!

Daily Radar just gave it their Direct Hit rating.

So, has anyone actually played the real game yet?

Fu$iL March 28th, 2001 04:44 AM

B&W got a real poor rating ( oh well, 84% but whatīs that for this "great and so hardly awaited" game ... ) and was compared and lost to settlers 4 by bluebyte.

Itīs like a poor wisim with a nice tamagotchi effect thatīs all. Itīs nice at the beginning but getīs boring very fast when you get to know the game.

buy it!!!!!!

JeEbuS March 28th, 2001 04:54 AM

Spyer, just because you don't like the game for some wierd, bizarre reason, doesn't mean NOBODY should get it. Every website I have gone to has given it a great rating (Including IGN PC which are VERY picky with games and usually give crap ratings, they gave 9.7 out of 10, and ive never seen them give that high for a game before..), and I'd rather listen to them then you lol http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif

And Shadowdwarf I suggest you try the game for yourself, because just because some guy in a forum says its no good, doesnt mean it is... Wait for a demo..

Yeah and I don't think that posting about illegal software in a forum where people that work for a game company moderate, because you may just end up gettin in deep sheet http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

Oh well... I'll still play this game like nutz even when I get B&W, cause they are both very cool.

(Sorry if this post came off a little hostile towards anyone http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif )

No, probably not, but that's a little different case, don't you think? There are always exceptions to The Rules: that's another Rule, hehe.
Anyway, the reviews I've been seeing so far have been good to excellent; that's good enough for me, besides, EA's got my money now http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

Anyone who was stupid enough to get a hacked version of B&W (because they'll won't be able to use multiplayer, and don't think your clever clever IP tricks will help you) can't be trusted to give a good opinion on a game, IMO. http://www.veforums.com/tongue.gif

Anyway, my copy's pre-ordered, so it doesn't matter to me. Unforunately, the release date in the UK is the 6th April according to Special Reserve... *sassenrassenfrassen*... oh well, it allows me to complete my holiday homework so that I can devote all my time to B&W when it arrives http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

I think this game can be quite boring for Action players. You are probably an action player, like shooters, etc. You gotta have lots of patience with this game.

You won't be the only one with this opinion, action players who are looking forward to this game, only because of the hype, will be disappointed, because they will miss the action. http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

Duh. You ever think that people download pirated games just to get their fix until the real thing comes out? I did last night just to be able to play it one night earlier than it comes out in stores. I guess that means I'm not bright enough to be able to judge a good game. http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

Cortex[importedFF] March 28th, 2001 06:38 AM

I THINK MY HEAD IS GONNA XPLODE!
I CAN'T WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT...
DO THE B&W DANCE!

Seriously. My head IS gonna explode if it doesn't come out soon.
From the first day that I read about B&W in the much respected danish pc-magazine PC player, ... something happened inside me. http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif
And now that I have seen my trusty PC player give B&W 10\10, and actually READ about why they gave it that (PC player has only given away three 10\10's so far for... what, 10 or so years?!) I've got the blues. Because it ISN'T OUT YET!
ARGH, I'M GONNA SHOOT SOMEBODY! http://www.veforums.com/eek.gif

(Oh, and by the way: I think you have got a good point there Idolator. Quake-FreeKs are probably not going to like this game. You know why? IT ISN'T A FPS! Duh.
They, on the other hand, may like the upcoming Halo, or maybe Planetside (MMOPWFPS)... So they should talk about what they like instead of shooting down the games they don't with their rocket launchers...
Hey, everyone is entitled to an opinion; I just like it the most if one can state WHY he thinks so.)

M'kay?

Kolt March 28th, 2001 06:39 AM

I for one, refuse to get this game without playing a demo first......
(which prolly will never exist http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif)

hype does not mean jack and mag ratings/site ratings don't mean jack to me either...

I didn't even hear about sac till I overheard a discussion among classmates....I didn't even CONSIDER gettin' it till i d/led the awesome demo.....I did not want it to end up like Tiberian Sun...a big waste of money(in my opinion)

in the end its ME who has to like the game
not some "percentile freak" http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif

I beleive that the gamers themseleves are just as able to rate game as any "official game rater"..because...duh..those people are just gamers too http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif

Whee March 28th, 2001 06:42 AM

B&W should be out at most stores in the U.S. today, so. Picking up my copy during lunchtime in a few hours here. http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

Kolt March 28th, 2001 06:42 AM

btw if ya' wanna see a good example of hype 'crashing and burning' in the end.....

look at Tiberian Sun http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif

.....quite a few people were dissapointed

Kolt March 28th, 2001 06:45 AM

B&W looks pretty interesting (on a populous play a bit then quit and come back..then quit and come back, level of gaming)

But with the patch3 beta out i can definetly wait a couple weeks and see if can get a demo or a copy to try out from a friend http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

*simon sez.....post count go up!*

Kolt March 28th, 2001 06:46 AM

wtf????? simon didn't say?!?!?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

tmfm2000 March 28th, 2001 07:26 AM

Simon says Electronic Arts sucks. Simon says Lionhead is from Europe. Simon is mad.
