I will be waiting until the reviews are out and it has been released for a month. Peter Molyneaux has ass raped fans too many times.
That's quite a vivid image that you've drawn up for us. But come on, stop being so coy and stop beating around the bush. Tell us how you really feel. :D
No, seriously. Actually, care to elaborate, as I don't know if I've had any experience with this ass raping Peter Molyneaux. What else has he been responsible for? I'm too lazy to search on my own right now, so please divvy up a summary.
Also... off/on topic, B&W looks very cool. Although I've discovered that I mostly almost totally completely suck at resource driven type RTS games, or RTS games in general. :P Although WarCraft II was fun and StarCraft, I just really did not fare well when it came to acquiring resources in a timely, fashionable manner and efficiently mining those resources and building up an army or whatever. I dunno what it is, but I am just totally inept when it comes to that kind of management. *sighs* My ex-bf used to kick my ass all the time whenever we played against each other, and it was one the most frustrating humbling moments for me as far as video games go, since typically I have a knack for picking up games quickly. I guess my weaknesses are RTS games and shooters, I've never been great when it came to aiming. :P
Anyhew, the somewhat off topic bit that I wanted to throw out was that I am eagerly awaiting further development, news, and the release of Spore. That game seems like totally cool! I love the idea of including some form of evolution. But if the genetics have anything similar to what's been implemented in the Sims 2... well. ::) Plus... seeing how noticeable the bugs are in these TS2 games is also kind of discouraging. At least with the original Sims 1 games, if there were any bugs, I hardly noticed them at all. :P But then again, I probably didn't play enough to really notice them or even realize there were bugs, or just assumed that any bugginess was actually mistaken for gameplay. ;D Still... Spore could be pretty promising.

Reminds me of Heaven & Hell.

What does RTS stand for? I can't aim to shoot either, I panic, I forget which combination of buttons, mice, keyboards and scrolling to do, I end up falling into pits, being blasted into bits and so on. I played Prince of Persia once, he's still stuck in the initial corridor 'cos I can't get the jump right to get him to the next bit, I think that was the tutorial part of the game. :-[ After several hours I thought 'sod this' and uninstalled it.
I like management games, balancing resources and patterns, that's what I'm best at.

Spore sounds like the most promising release on my event horizen. 8)

Witch, I enjoyed B&W 1, but my computer and graphics card were not up to the task. I got sick of hunting through the poor quality trees for things and it moved S.L.O.W.
I loved the game but got nauseous at the wheeling, swaying scenery. On a previous thread here somewhere, several other people said the graphics affected them in this way too. I would certainly check that out before purchasing the game.

Spore looks so cool . . . wow. Can't wait. From the information I have currently, the genetics are basically completely user controlled. With each "generation" (i.e., new creature) you get to adjust what it looks like and buy new functional bits. It's not really a genetics simulation so much as an ecosystem/evolution tool. And, hey, it's Will Wright's project, and so far things have only started sucking once he's left. (Sims 1 didn't suck until the later expansions bugified it, and he wasn't involved with it at that point.) Well, except TSO . . . but that's a different problem.
B&W2 looks kinda nifty. Don't really know if I'll get it, as I too heard *bad* things about the original game's performance, bugginess, and management. And I prefer a nice, shiny software toy over an actual game any day.
