Overlord and Quake 4

[kingcomrade]

Okay, my stuff arrived in the mail. I bought Overlord and Quake 4. I've played Overlord some. It is definitely designed to be a console game, the controls make that much apparent. It seems like it has a great environment (right now I'm deep in a hobbit burrow smashing all their china and killing them and looting their stuff) but the actual gameplay is a bit lacking. You set your minions to go kill stuff and then watch them do it. It is kinda fun, though, just doesn't have much depth.

I've played Quake 4 before, but not on a good computer and I don't remember it well.

"I must defeat the strogg!"

"No, John, you are the strogg."

And then John was a tactical transfer.

That's good.

While the story is laughable, the guns are tight and satisfying. Fun and simple fps.

I wonder why I posted this in Strategy Gaming.

Overlord is a strategy game if I recall.

Overload is kinda fun for the first few hours but it gets very grating, the satisfaction of having your horde smash stuff and grab equipment starts to dull and trudging through the same area repeatedly wears on you.

Getting the little fucks to do what I want is getting pretty difficult as well. I want them to engage the god damn hobbits (seriously, hobbits as a main opposing force? and the fat hobbit grossed me out in a way that a game hasn't in a long time) and they instead smash all the boxes around him and then come back to me waiting for new orders. I'm glad I only paid 5 bucks for it, but it is worth it because the settings have already paid off. The hobbit kitchen with the rivers of lava was funny, I enjoyed it.

I just now went to the keep and got pwned by some knights. I wasted all my money and life force things on giving myself a shitty mace, even though really the Overlord sucks at combat (and generally I hit my minions instead of the enemy...) and I should not have. I did the hobbit quests, I think now, instead, I should head to the elf forest as those knights seem a bit too powerful for me right now.

Feel free to treat the stroggification sequence as the true ending of Quake 4.

The keep is pretty easy, you should be able to handle it with a swarm of browns and one or two reds. Go and beat up the village / rob houses if you have had all your browns slaughtered - get their armour and weapons up to scratch. You should be able to beat the guys in armour at the keep by luring them out and then mobbing them with browns, just make sure you don't try to fight more than 2 at once.

After that want to get the green minions from the forest then go straight to heavens peak for the blues.


If you need life force of any colour, arrange an arena fight with the appropriate beetles. Again you can lure the buggers out a few at a time and slaughter them in traditional gaming stye.
