Releasing the games months apart was a bit odd, and sure to lead to mass piracy, I thought.

Until I realised some people use a date format which places the month first.

[Blake]

oooooh. And what's with the friken felines? It's a FRISBEE! Should be a dog jumping for it! bah!

I expect I'll pre-order it.

Yeah, it looked a bit odd...

As for the game, I'm not expecting much yet. There was so much promised when the first game came out, and it failed massively, as we all know. Not that it wasn't a good game, to a certain degree, but it wasn't the revolution we was promised. But so far, it looks good.

I agree with you Nikolai; I'm going to wait for user opinions before I buy this one.

I was disappointed to find that the islands are pre-made, so there's no map generator.

Then I saw another screenshot which had those two annoying sub-conscious characters, the devil and the angel. They ruined the game for me, I had no way of doing what I wanted to do without them jumping in and ruining everything.

[Nikolai]

Yeah, I hope there is some way to tweak whether or not they appear, or at least how often they appear.

[DrSpike]

Damn, I'm washing my hair that day.

Those guys were awesome!

Well, except for their annoying tutorial.

I'm definitely waiting a month or two to see what people are saying after sustained gameplay. The first one was a wash out for me after a couple of days, I don't want to make the same mistake again.

What's all this nonsense about "buying" the game... just appropriate it! No worries, then.
