Yah, Xenosaga had nothing to do with Xenogears at all, except for being the same dev. team. I really, really, really love that story. Can't believe they didn't think it would do well, how could they cut the budget like that during the 2nd CD? The fools!

It gets better everytime I play it too. Oh well, and cheers for voluptuosity! Smile

Played yesterday for the first time, wow, the performance is incredible related to the visual quality - even on my old AGP system (Athlon 64 3200, 7900 GT) its running incredibly well with highest settings. I wish every game would run that good.

I really recommend this game for even for owners of low-end machines, the engine seems to be really well optimized.

The game reminds me very much of FABLE with this completely overdone fantasy cliche world. Playing seems to be fun , even if you dont fight yourself but use these "minions" instead. Only the weird controls are a point you have to get used to.... Wink (no, I am not gonna use a gamepad)

Carry three bombs to the door to blast it open. Grab one after another and use only one minion. There is enough time before they goes off.

I just arrived at the desert. Can summon 42 Minions. Whats the max? I got 6 of those stones and put 1000 of 2000 Minions in my Arcane Helmet. So it will be 50 I guess??

Btw the best way to earn lifeforce is by killing bugs in the Dungeon Arena.


I thought that, dunno how to grab the bombs. I tried it with lettin the miniomn walk there, but they wont do anything Sad

In order to get one minion to do stuff simply take following advice,

1) Select all your minions so your minion icon is grey
2) Go stand near your teleporter so all your minions are safely away from the bomb throwers
3) Press Q to make a way point, this so that all your minions won't keep following you
4) Target the waypoint by pressing left shift whilst looking towards it, now click left mouse once
5) Now you should have 1 minion released from the waypoint marker
6) Go stand near the door or near the bomb throwers and have them throw a bomb at you
7) Target the bomb with left SHIFT and click left mouse
Cool Your minion will pick up the bomb, just keep holding left mouse and direct the minion towards the door
9) Once at the door release your mousekey and the minion will drop the bomb
10) Rince and repeat 3x

I'm curious what engine this game uses. The textures and models look like that of fable, wonder if this is the engine used for the new fable? Btw, im even more curious why the hell people even need help with this game, or do they spend 2 minutes on something then decide to come here and ask for help?

This is so typical for gamespot. I remember that this happened to two other games, though I don't remember which games that were.
I think that if enough review readers say "wtf? tihs game is teh shit! loolz!", they alter the rating. Gamespot is so lame.... Evil or Very Mad

It has come to our attention that some of the information found within our review of Overlord for the PC was not correct, specifically statements made about camera control. We investigated by going out and purchasing a retail copy of the game and found that the version released to stores was significantly different than the one sent to us by Codemasters for review purposes. As a result, we have removed the current review of Overlord and will repost it at a later time with the updated/correct information, as well as any necessary adjustments to the score.

In the interest of full disclosure, we wanted to make this known to the users so there wouldn't be any confusion about why the review had been pulled.

This game kicks ass. The minions are really loveable... I still have my little brown guy wearing Melvin's crown running around. Pretty funny.

Although, every time I play, it either crashes to desktop or randomly reboots my computer. Anyone else experienced that? Really puts a damper on my enjoyment.

I'd say an 8 on my end, the game has great SP but not THAT great of replay. So what are people going to wanna do next? MP, and they don't fully get to enjoy that cause they shipped a whole whopping 2 maps which was just stupid. They needa get a map editor out or start releasing some new maps.

minion strength = equipment

if you get new browns, they are at 100%, if they pick up helmets, weapons and stuff like that their strength goes up, and the percentage strength shown is the average strength, so if you have 10 fully equipped minions and are at let's say 180% strength, and then you get 5 new ones without equipment your average strength is gonna drop, obviously.

Finished the game now with 14% corruption. Chose Velvet.

How can I get slaves? I read something about it. Do I have to subdue the peasants for that?

I need help and I need it now or I am gonna go mad, this ain't logical anymore, I need to drive this fucking jumping bitch Jewel into the gate but she keeps running from my minions, and she's running anywhere except into my gate??? I tried to chase her and send minions after her, but she isn't even targetable, then I tried setting up waypoint markers and I put 5 minions on each marker(I made 10 markers like this all over the place so I could block her but she just walks past them). Sometimes she just stands there right in the middle of my minions, WTF is up with this game where logic is no longer needed to solve puzzles?

So in short, how the hell do you get this broad chased into the gate?

Its easy, from the main street, position 4 groups of Minions at the 4 entrances (2 left, 2 right). Then put the fifth and last group between the two stairways at the beginning. I used 5 groups รก 10 Minions. Jewel will then jump in the middle of the street with no way out and run directly into the tower gate.

Download content is also expected to arrive soon after the game's release, with a new character, new multiplayer maps and an extra single-player mission - which includes new weapons and enemies - underway, according to a post on NeoGaf.


Very Happy
