Opinions on Dungeon Keeper?
Dated as fuck.
Tried it last year, couldn't get into it even though I wasted countless hours on GK2 when I was a kid.

It's great.
I'M HORNYShort for the horned reaper
>>343539231
First one and the deeper dungeons were great.
Everything that's came after them was shit.
Every spin off that tries to emulate Dungeon Keeper's success just copies the second one, which results in them being shit.
>>343539231
fucking awesome game from what I remember. it's been a very long time though.

it's already porn with the mistresses
>>343539231
Both great games. Played DK2 again last week. Playing War for the overworld now.
>>343539231
Good game.
2 expanded on 1.
Too bad we never saw 3.
>>343540060
I'm chums with the Dungeon Keeper!
>>343539231
DK1 was fucking great
Deeper was for hardcore gamers such as myself
DK2 had better features but lacked monsters
They are still 8/10 games today, if you can get them to play correctly on a modern OS
Basically fuck EA
>tfw deeper dungeons basically puts you into a level hand crafted by a fucking dick who wanted to fuck you over with invasions or stupid shit like level 10 enemies 5 feet away from your dungeon heart where you would normally build your first room
>5 seconds after starting the level
>THE ENEMY IS DESTROYING YOUR WALLS
>YOUR DUNGEON HEART IS UNDER ATTACK!
>YOUR IMPS ARE DYING
>>343543969
eh they're not that hard. you just have to figure out which way is up according to the level's designer and you're good to go.
>>343543969
oh wait you're talking about caddis fell aren't you
yes that one's a bit dickish but once you get that done with it's plain sailing
>Buy War for the Overworld
>Its close, but just not close enough
>There will never be a DK3
>>343539231
I'MRunning Windows XP in VMWare so I can play Dungeon Keeper on it
>>343539231
Bullfrog had some really innovative games in their time.
I loved DK 2, never really got into DK because it had out dated graphics by the time I discovered the franchise.
>>343546260
KANGZ !
>>343539231
First one was great. Second one was pretty good, though it made some silly changes (pic related).
There are no games in the series after that, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
>>343546424
I appreciate what they've done, and the game is solid, if a bit short in the campaign route.
But you are right, it's just not DK3.
>>343546424
that game's shit
mainly because it tries to copy the bad parts of dk2 and ignores the good parts of dk1
>>343547567
I don't remember that thing from DK 2. And the art looks more like it's from DK 1. Are you sure you got your facts straight mate ?
Anyway my favourite creature was the mistress with her torture chamber. You could torture captured enemies untill they converted to your side. There were different kinds of torture devices, and if you forgot to take them out of the chamber after they'd converted they'd get tortured to death. The mistress really was what made the game imo.
>>343539356
What aspect is "dated"?
For me every single game mechanic still shines as bright as ever.
Not as good as i remember
Surprisingly boring as all you do is seize the gems, grind everything to 10 and cakewalk the level, or just use the hidden transfer characters to send a mistress through 7 or so levels and just destroy their heart early on
>>343548154
he's probably just sad there's no dragons in dk2
i too have a dragon gif
I dont know why but I just cant get to DK1. I gave it a whole bunch of fan patches too to make it bit more fluent and to improve the interface but it just doesnt grip me. DK2 manages to hold me over much better somehow.
Though Evil Genius is still the best dungeon manager. Saying Dwarf Fortress is cheating.
>>343546446
You could just install KeeperFx, you know?

>>343548542
>demonspawn turn into dragons if you level them up enough
>thieves turn into knights if you level them up enough
>certain creatures fight other creatures if they share a lair, ie: ninjas and mistresses, skeletons and bile demons and some others
>every minion had their own name that was randomly selected from a pool
this game had some cool little details
Reminder
>>343548213
I'd have to agree with this anon. Although I haven't played the game in a while, mainly due to the lack of a copy that works on a modern windows version, but I cant imagine that modern games have a better interface, even the graphics, while probably a little dated, was pretty solid.
I loved the first. Something about the second didn't quite click right.
I fucking love DK and DK2.
I think DK is the better game but I tend to find DK2 more fun.
Honestly if someone could merge DK and DK2 it would probably be GOTYAY.
>replaying DK1
>edit files so gold blocks give 9999 per block
>realize while facing against a rival keeper that they also get loads of money
>battle to the death with insanely high creatures
I do fucking hate how limited the hand of evil is in DK1 after playing DK2. And splitting up creatures is such a fucking pain that I just let them fight. I ain't babysitting no bitch-ass flies.

Better not to know.
>>343549084
Is this the game where you have to either wait 2 days or pay 5 sheckles to destroy a block?
I'm working on a RTS game right now, was planning to do something like DK or Dwarf Fortress. Any suggestions?
>>343549084
it's a shame EA are greedy fucks
a modern dungeon keeper game is probably one of the few games that would work really well on a tablet.

Haha. Nice pun. Now just give me the details, I' posting from my cell phpne for Christ's sake.
>>343548951
>demonspawn turn into dragons if you level them up enough
That never happened for me
I am a little autism. Crooked walls really fuck with me.
>>343550062
if you get them to level 10 and then level them up again they should become level 5 dragons
>>343550078
it is retarded to play with such a tiny UI.
>>343549853
>>343549084
it's a shame there's no way to play these games without using shekels, there are those [MOD] versions but then there's no fun because you can just get everything for free
>>343550062
level 10 they change
never knew that the heroes would change though
>>343550268
The UI is the same size it always was.
>>343549084
I'M HORNY
>>343550370
it is small because it uses a smaller portion of your screen. nice try though mr resolution
>>343547884
Short is a fucking understatement, when I finished that games story I thought it was just starting.
>>343550518
technically it's the same size pixel wise, it's just the rest of the screen is bigger
>>343550518
Okay then Mister 4k Underpants.
>>343550002
Are you actually fucking blind and retarded? Have you followed video games for longer than half a year? If you had, you would know what pic related is, especially if you have a passing interest in DK series.
I loved how the last few levels each gave you a pretty vicious handicap.
>That level where you simply have too many monsters
>>343550941
I liked the deeper dungeon level(s) where there's a few small hatcheries and several portals on the map that you can claim, so if you claim them you end up with a massive food problem (since you can't build hatchery on those maps)
>>343550078
Personally I'm against playing DK1 in anything but 640*480.
It's really not the same without pixelated glory.

>can't complete my mission because in exactly that only mission its possible for the AI to wall itself in making the game impossible to win
Maybe i will get back to it one day and speed kill that fucker.
>>343550748
Jesus. Sorry I don't follow every fucking franchise I'm interested in 24/7. Some of us have jobs and other responsibilities, fuck face.
>>343551351
>a-a-atleast I have a job
Yes, because reading some video game news about one of the biggest hubhubs of that year is such a huge hassle.
>want to torture enemy Lord
>you have to kill him to end the mission
>>343551118
I used to think it was the best-looking game in the world. AND you can go into first-person mode and fucking EXPLORE and fight! Mind = blown.
I have my pre-2000s PC still, and playing DK, Carmageddon 2, Unreal and Half-Life on it in 2015 was an experience. It took two new fans to get the thing to run properly but it was fucking awesome. Total time warp
Anyone tried War of the Overworld?
>>343551452
Okay friendo, just forget I asked. I guess it's just too hard for you to give someone a decent reply like well adjusted human beings do.
>>343551716
I did, and I realised it was basically pointless because DK is still a thing that exists.
It's not bad, but it really suffers from a lack of charm and an abundance of what is essentially plagiarism. But if you're okay with that, it's basically DK2.
>>343539231
>tfw mistresses from DK2 indirectly introduced my 10 year old self to S&M pornography

abusing the combat mechanics with possession was always fun
>>343553110
>conquering a dungeon using a level 10 demon spawn because they were stronger than the basic dragon
>dropping a level 10 vampire into the scavenger room, possessing their own creatures and marching with impunity to destroy some dungeon hearts
>possessing a level 10 warlock
>possessing a level 10 dragon and tanking the fuck out of everything
>possessing a chicken, being eaten and crashing the game
the only 2 games I need in my life that will prob not ever be made is Dungeon Keeper 3 and Knights of The Old Republic 3. If I had those 2 games I could die in peace.
>>343548542
>dragon lairs are piles of gems
>that happy dance they did when you shower them in money
>possession turns their flame breath into a disintegration beam

Literally a perfect minion
IT IS PAYDAY

DK was pretty fucking amazing
>>343554091
>can survive boulder crush
Wait, what? Really?
>>343554097JACKPOT WINNER
>>343551716
Loved it and "beat" it they've been updating it as well. I like the fact they got the original VA from DK to do the VA in War For The Overworld
>Tentacles gain can gain additional experience by sleeping near water
>Can join the enemy team if they get mad enough
neat

Dungeons 2 looks neat but have had a chance to play it it looks like a mash up of DK and WC3

>>343551716
Do they have mistresses ?
>>343555112
there's the "Succubus" but they're a bit shit
>>343554678
it's okay for what it is, it's in no way brilliant. though it does have the stanley parable voice actor guy narrative things here too
>>343554419
Its only ability is freeze. You may as well kill them for ghosts/vampires
A gift for my friendly anons for mentioning my favourite oldschool game.

>>343555361
neat, thanks anon
>>343555282
>wanting ghosts/vampires at all
Freeze is better than "flying slowly backwards using nothing but drain and just losing to fairies or something".
DK1 is great, KeeperFX is good for resolution patches but shit for balancing, DK2 is just bad.
>>343555361
Thanks, buddy.
Do you think Peter Molyneux gets too much credit from Bullfrog games? I just thought Fable 1 was very average, while the other people from Bullfrog formed Mucky Foot Productions, and they made Startopia, which was pretty good.
>>343560658
Oh heck yeah. I think Molyneux isn't a very good game dev, but he got all the fame for being the name to Bullfrog.
>>343539231
Great.
Still a lot of fun even today, just played through it again about two years ago with KeeperFX.
>>343551716
It's an adequate DK 2.3, even if still a bit buggy.
>>343548098
>that game's shit
Nope.
without a doubt one of the greatest game's I have ever played
>yfw it's a gem level
>you manage to wall off the bad areas before you get invaded
>you spend 3 hours perfecting your dungeon to the smallest details including a trap murder zone
>you pop the entrance and just everything stream into a giant maze of boulder/lightning/gas traps
>>343560658
I think he's a man with fun ideas, but the things he says either never come true to 100%, or he overplays and hypes those ideas beyond the reality of the games his studio puts out/is able to put out, and they inevitably fall short of expectations.
Basically it means the same thing; he talked too much all those years ago and I don't think he can deliver, but I believe he could every time.
Take Black & White as an example; a game hyped-up beyond belief for a couple of years in the late 90s/early 00s. When it was released, it initially met very positive and glowing reviews. And I waited a long time for that game, and went to the lengths of ordering a new PC just to play it on release day. It was expensive, just to match the minimum specs but whatever.
I played Black & White for an hour that night and had an absolute blast. It was awesome.
Then after playing for a few days I noticed that no matter how many times I tried to play the first three worlds in different ways, nothing really mattress.
I've still never finished B&W because it feels like a big disappointment. And that, to me, is Molyneux' legacy; great at hyping millions into interest, but when it comes to delivery day...

There are things in this world that are not meant to be known by mortals.
And when they do know about something that isn't meant to be known, then they automatically want to see the world burn...or in this case EA.
>>343562294
>>343562294
This makes me rage. Rage and urgently wanting to smash someone.
>>343554419
I think its actually stuff like this that made Peter's games so popular. People mistakenly think that he has talent as a game designer when in reality I think his biggest talent is adding charm and animation to his game worlds. His worlds tend to feel more alive as a result.
>>343554419
an entire army of level 10 tentacles is a bitch to maintain but absolutely worth it
>enemies are spending 95% of the their attack time frozen
>that awesome ice sound when they launch cubes
