I remember the throwing being wonky, and the gestures were a pain in the hole to work. I don't think I ever completed it though. When I originally bought it I couldn't run it smoothly on my PC at the time, which really made the controls a nightmare. Years later when I upgraded I went back but I guess the main story wasn't interesting enough to keep going. What the game needed was a free play mode. The most enjoyable parts of the game were teaching your creature to be an rear end in a top hat and causing destruction to the people. An open mode against AI Gods and their creatures would have given a reason to keep playing. The game was so hyped and lacked so many of the features Molyneaux promised. The only one that comes to mind at the moment was the previews mentioning how the creature was chosen. Originally it was supposed to be any animal in the game could be chosen and turned into giant pet. So you could pluck a chicken or cow from a village and use that as your pet, or find a wolf or lion in the wild. Basically all animals were available as long as they had a sprite in the game and you could find one of them. There was much more ambitious promises but for some reason that one I remember.Also the creature AI was hyped as revolutionary but from my recollection of the release, the internal scripts showed the creature behaviours were already programmed in and you would unlock them for the creature by doing them in front of him. Though I may be wrong about that. Marenghi fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Aug 22, 2016 |

I always played as a good god, though I can't explain why yet due to game mechanics stuff that hasn't been covered.

I played good too, because that's the way I play every game. It sounds stupid, but even in imaginary situations, I can't be anything but a good guy.

I dream of an android tablet port of Black and White. I never did beat it, but I don't think I could replay it on a PC without wanting to punch myself.

Always went good as well, even if it got a bit... well, we'll get to that when we get there. I'd comment on some other stuff, but most of it's going to have to wait for the second world.

Ah, Black and White. A game that almost worked, but the control scheme, long tutorial, and confusing creature stuff didn't quite fit together. I never got too far into the second island. I could never throw things, either.

I always tried to play good, but invariably swapped to evil somewhere down the line. Evil gets results.

I deleted this because of spoilers so instead I'm going to add more jibes about your horrible throwing abilities Unfortunately I can't think of anything, you're getting off easy this time Also good job throwing things, McCantThrow McGee.

Evil was more fun but didn't completed silver scrolls in an evil manner usually mean no reward?

Oh, this game. I still have the original CD stashed somewhere. I loved it while I played it, but in retrospect it was terrible. Ah, to be fifteen again  Looking forward to this LP!

I sunk a lot of time into 1 and 2. I still enjoy 2, don't ask me why. However I can't get it to run on win 10.

Went ahead and added a reminder of the spoiler policy to the second post since, y'know, apparently it wasn't already clear. If you're not up to date, it's very simple: don't. Scaly Haylie fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Aug 24, 2016 |

There's been a lot I've wanted to comment on, but you haven't really gotten to the meat of the game yet. Next update should have some interesting player interactions.

Yeah basically there's a LOT to talk about regarding Black and White and one of the things is it takes like three motherfucking unskippable hours to start. You aren't even at the parts that take a long time before the game begins. The posts must flow. I can feel them within me. Burning.

When I played this game a certain sidequest of a lyrical variety encouraged me to figure out how to throw poo poo properly. Nothing quite like skipping "stones" over the ocean.

This Let's Play has convinced me to dig out my copy and play along. How well does it run on Windows 10? Am I better off trying on Windows 7? I'm convinced I got into scripting custom multiplayer maps for this back in the day. Might be able to find them!

Anyway, no, that wasn't a god being summoned to another world, that was the result of a cat praying. In other words, that's gonna be our pet cat.
