I still can't bring myself to play B&W after all the pain caused by waiting 15 million years for the patch and then having to find a crack to make the game work again.
And people still reported save-game corruption.
For fuck's sake.
It's left a very bad taste in my mouth and Lionhead could bring out a sex simulator next but I probably still would not buy it.
Unless it simulated Jenna Elfman.
And she was converted from the evil of Scientology.
By my cock.
The insane level of micromanagement, as others have noted.
If there was a village elder or at least one villager that could direct traffic to prevent production bottlenecks, it would have helped tremendously.
Let's face it, the creature isn't that person.
Why are the villagers so f'ing stupid?
Thanks!

Peter: I don't think people realised what sort of game it was. All the previews in magazines couldn't quite explain what it was exactly and the game started hyping itself.
No, what happend here was they didn't discribe how the game is really played. THey didn't discribe the horrendous amounts of micromanagement, nor did they mention that there is only ONE LEVEL which plays like how the game was discribed (the second level).
I couldn't beleive that when i played the game. ONE FUCKING LEVEL that was actualy fun. Only five levels to begin with was weak. bleh! B&W really let me down.

Apparently not seriously enough.
People started expecting things that weren't in it.
Like "fun"?
it has sold 1.5 million copies
Ill believe that when I see it from a 3rd party.
There is so much to the single-player game that most people ignore the multiplayer
Or maybe because the multiplayer was horrible. The guy with the best animal at the beginning won.
