Quick Look: Majesty 2

I like what I saw and the concept looks to be worthwhile, but I just can't get my head out of Age of Empires thought. Like said, I also do not like micromanaging units, but it just reminds me so much of AoE that I can't get excited about it.

This seems like a more realistic take on how running a kingdom would probably work.
 
Also, Blind Guardian is awesome.

Did you know that in Soviet Russia, game plays you?

it's $40 on steam =[

Hey look, a quick look of Warcraft II.

looks like a cool game, may go download it

The first Majesty is quite possibly my favorite game of all time, so I'm gonna enjoy this :P

So when's the Giant Bomb Russia location going to open up? You've covered too many too much to not follow through with a new website, at least.

I got a Duder right after Dave said "It's been pretty stable for me".

"

Just downloaded the Demo - I personally find the Demo map a very bad one for a demo, it feels like a grind where you simply don't win [yet?].

Already preparing to buy it, since it's a lot of fun - to make sure your heroes don't die an all.

"

This game sounds just like the Final Fantasy: My Life as a King game for WiiWare.

This is really just Majesty: 3D
 
I played the hell outta the first game. And I'm about half way through this one. It's still good fun but I almost fel like i may as well have just installed Majesty 1 and played through that again. Not a lot of changes/improvements in this one and it's kinda sad when you get booted from a scenario as soon as the main objective is completed. I feel like anybody who is into this game is going to wish they could keep building up their heros, "just one more turn" style. Especially now that you can carry a lord into the next mission (but then maybe that's why they made it this way).
 
This really could have been a much deeper and more epic rendition of Majesty. Fun, but dissapointing. Fingers crossed for a more fleshed out Majesty 3.

In Soviet Russia, resources mine you!
 
Sorry if someone else made the joke before I got to it.

BLLLLEEEEEEGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

Dave QL = awesome.  He should have kept speaking in his accent though.  That would have made it even better.

this game is pretty good. Glad to see it getting to recognition.

Do your heroes actually get saved and carryover to the other mission? 
 
Or do you start from zero for every mission? 
 
Do heroes actually organize parties?

Scottish Russian royal advisory, cool game though I really like a lot of the games concepts.

looks pretty great to me

" Do your heroes actually get saved and carryover to the other mission?  Or do you start from zero for every mission?  Do heroes actually organize parties? "

1. At the end of a successful mission you get to make one character a "lord" so that...
2. In the next mission you can build a house of lords and rehire that powerful character
3. Yes, as long as you have an inn, heroes will organize parties.

suprisingly cool idea

Hahah, Zeny. Zeny is the superior form of currency.

why does this video cut out at 13:16?
 
Am I the only one who watched that far?

Wait... are the sound effects ripped directly from Age of Empires 2?

That game looks pretty interesting.

looks kind of fun

Spider-Man!

I loved the first game, and this one isn't a HUGE step forward and is definitely more of the same... and that is exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend it, and the first one is on steam for 10$ if you want to try it out for cheap.
I bought this game launch day... So I'm not really sure why I watched this instead of playing it, haha. I'm glad to see you guys giving it air time though, good QL!

You forgot to mention that it is also on Impulse.  Make sure to include all the platforms it is available for when you mention what it is coming out on.

IN russuie the hot dogs cook cats

Blind Guardian are so RPG they made and performed a song for Sacred 2 specifically...which is an RPG.
 
i'm sure someone said that already.
 
This game needs mad loot.

Looks like it  might be fun and I haven't played an RTS in ages..I just wish I had a PC good enough to run it.

" why does this video cut out at 13:16?  Am I the only one who watched that far? "

 In Russian RTS'  units command you!

I remember enjoying the first one.  That's about all I remember.

This is sort of what I've wanted out of an RTS/Sim.  Not fond of micromanaging unless that's all I'm doing.  Dawn of War II goes to the opposite extreme from what I understand, and THAT looks appealing too...

Looks pretty cool I Played the first one might give this a try.

Reminds me of Settlers 3 and 4 a lot.

This really appeals to me, the idea of setting up quests for heroes. Reminds me alot of the early Settlers games which were great. Will grab it once the gaming schedule is less busy, I love the convenience of Steam.

Seems pretty good. I'm also a turtle and not very good at micromanaging troops so this seems quite interesting.

Isn't the Motherland Africa?
 
It's from "Mother Russia" not "The Motherland".

Reminds me of Tropico.

Loved the original. Can't wait to get this. It's really a game for those who hate RTSs.

Thanks for the quick look. I'm buying this. Looks fun.
