Overlord II Comments by Kristan Reed

COOL

Pratchett power!

Loved the first on the 360 and did play to completion, never bought the dlc as I had sold the game by then. I will pick up II, even if it was much of the same.

Fantastic! I came really really close to buying the first one, so this sounds like a must buy \o/

Excellent, I really enjoyed the original, I shall have to pick this up too.

Kinda passed over on the first one, might give this a look though.

The first game has been one of my favourite games on the PS3, and played it all the way through. Great fun, and a really clear example of why a good script is essential to bring a game world to life. The humour was perfectly pitched and the whole thing felt so lovably European.

Frankly, it was great to not be playing bloody space marines who grunt at each other for ten hours before violently dismembering a uber-foe who really hadn't done a lot wrong other than be in my way. Anything that avoids that pattern already has plus marks in my book, but Overlord was pitched just right for many weeks of enjoyable Sunday afternoon gaming.

This is very much on my list of games to keep my eye on, and it was good to hear about their efforts towards system parity.

FOR THE OVERLORD! FOR ME! *puts a saucepan on his head*

We've recently uploaded some high-res in-game screens from Overlord II to our Codies Flickr Page. Take a look at if you'd like at http://www.flickr.com/photos/codemasters...

Rhianna is brilliant, i spoke to her last year at animax and she was so great, unique and imaginative! i have a feeling with her writting the script it will be great

Like Doctor_What says, it's refreshing to play as something a bit less generic for a change.

Granted the setting is deliberately generic, and the playable character is a stereotype, but it's done deliberately, to make fun of the genre cliches that most games employ completely unironically without even noticing.

Also, spoilers ffs! Spoilers!

loved the first one, and they're right, i wasnt being evil ENOUGH

i have to admit, the odds are by the end of Overlord 2, i expect to be ruling over a charred waste landed

didn't like the first one too much, but this sequel looks promising

But will there be more sheepies?!

Ah, I'm really looking forward to this. Might actually be might most expected game now except for TOR : )

I really like the comedy-fantasy world of this series, sounds like this games pushes that even more.

fucking hell! thanks for spoiling the end of overlord for me and probably loads of others

On another note, just started the Lost game... then it ended :/

Hail !

Indeed. Spolier warning anyone?

Wow, this sounds great. I kind of missed the first one - quite tempted to pick it up for cheap, just to get a flavour of it.

Surrender to my protection and...I shall be your guardian.........

Rianna Pratchett. Strike that one off then. I wonder when it was that she realised that she had the perfect qualifications to be Terry Pratchetts daughter.

Ya thanks for the spoiler warning. Im still playing this game... and I love it :D Cant wait for number 2.

Looking forward to this, really fancied picking up the first one on PS3 but didn't see it anywhere and it went out of my thoughts.
Doubt I'll pick it up now think I'll just wait for this as it sounds like more of the same but with improvements !

And with the ending being spoilt too, cheers Kristan ! Dope :)

WANT.

Is this Pratchett any relation to the Terry Pratchett variety of Pratchetts?

"what with the actual overlord being dead and that."

Err, what? When I ended my game, he was triumphantly marching across the world in conquest. :/

I remember the big bad old overlord dying, not the player's character...

She is his daughter.

The Overlord died at the end of Raising Hell, which was the DLC expansion, and tagged onto the PS3 version too. Therefore it wasn't much of a spoiler :)

RAWR! WHAT? YOU JUST RUINED MY LIFE! MY LIFE!

/hulk smash

can we please have a map this time!
for the rest, nice game.

The Overlord didn't die at the end of Raising Hell. He was sealed in the Infernal Abyss by the Forgotten God and the Minion Jester.

Yeah, thanks, cunt.
