Didn't know a demo was out! I played the first one just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it for some reason! I can't really put my finger on it either...

Its because you aren't directly causing all the violence and mayhem, but your minions are.

Its kind of like trying to get into Starcraft and anticipate it to be like Diablo is the best way that I can describe it.


Once you accept the gameplay mechanics for what it is, you can really start enjoying the game more. I know that I did as I felt the same way as you. At least give the demo a shot and see what you think.

Clubbing baby seals to death repeatedly and making fun of their "protectors" as gay impish fairies makes this game a TOTAL FAIL for me! The game developers obviously designed it around some type of political agenda that is a slap in the face to anyone who actually cares about making good in the world.

If the game is a 'slap to the face' to 'good people' wouldn't that mean the game is an 'epic win' as you are 'evil'?

HAHAHA... not quite. It's a direct insult to anyone who cares for a cause of this nature. In particular, the elves (or whatever they are) that show up to protect the baby seals from the heards of clubbing minions are portrayed as some type of homosexual fairy hippy types. Who are they to say that I, being an educated heterosexual male with an idea that human beings don't need to resort to such methods in order to survive on this planet, fall into such a demographic as this?

GAME = EPIC POLITICAL AGENDA FAIL!!!

Wow, seriously? Clubbing baby seals was the best part of the demo, far better than simply killing sheep. And yes, I care about animals IRL, but I am not so prudish as to think a game about such things is insulting. If anything, it is you who either has the political agenda or are far too easily insulted on behalf of others. The game is merely entertainment.

I, for one, am having a BLAST with this game. Haven't spent enough time with it to give a full review, but if you liked the first Overlord, there's much more to like in the sequel.

LMAO... I agree. The clubbing of the seals was modestly entertaining. It's when the elven protectors of the seals danced out of their pirate ships while lisping in choral unison to the rythm of their rainbow flags waving in the breezy polar air that things took a turn for the worst.

I don't have a political agenda. I'm very accepting of many things. I find humour in the strangest of topics. But, that detail pushed me over a line of acceptance.
