/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm trying to decide whether I like DK1 or DK2 better and I just can't, they were both so perfect...

The first game had better creatures though.

I haven't played one, but from what I've seen, number two didn't add too much in the way of content. It just made stuff look prettier. Actually, that would be EXACTLY what I want if DK3 is ever made.

It never will ;~;

Obligatory.

They changed the way a bunch of things worked. Imps didn't have any upkeep in 1 so you could have shitloads of them, and there was no Mana, all magic cost Gold instead. Also, you couldn't dig through fortified walls at all without a spell to unfortify them.

Probably the worst change from 1 to 2 though was they turned Horny into a spell instead of making him a creature. You could possess him and everything in the original, although you had to segregate him from your other creatures because he was fucking psychotic.

Surprisingly, I never had too much problem with the Hornies. I had more problems with the fucking spiders and flies having little fights among themselves.

I just let the flies die, their own purpose was scouting and they'd usually explored everything by the time the spiders started killing them.

Weren't there other creatures that hated eachother too? Warlocks and vampires or something?

I know hellhounds hate somebody. Could be warlocks.
My biggest gripe about the game is that there is no way to keep Demon Spawn from creeping into your training room. They just stay there and train, sucking away at your gold reserves.

>>1439208
Can't you just build a door and lock them out?

I was pretty happy to let them train considering they become dragons eventually.

Why did I not think of that?
