Space RTS, and a re-master of both games at that price is a steal. Gameplay, story, music...all fantastic. Completely worth it.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is an awesome space fleet strategy game worth picking up while you wait for homeworld

I got that off GOG a while ago actually and enjoyed the first few levels. I'll start playing it again once I'm done tearing my way through the Damned 33rd.

Homeworld is legitimately good science fiction.

I'm getting the feeling I've barely scratched the surface on this game

Yeah, I always liked how the protagonists weren't exactly good people. They were exiled for being violent oppressive conquerors, and that violence and ruthlessness never really left them. They kill a poo poo load of people with absolutely no mercy to reclaim their birthright. T

My question is, did they change it so you do not have to capture every single loving ship possible to have a shot at winning?

edit : is has a 93 metracritic and its not even released yet? lmbo

You really only need to do this when you want to steal it for research. It's more challenging if you don't just salvage rush everything you possibly can for the first few missions, but you really only NEED to steal a handful of ships the entire campaign.

edit: like i steal all the ion frigates or whatever in the third? fourth? mission, and that's the last time i really focused on stealing ships.

I just hope they addressed the enemy fleet scaling mechanic from HW2. It wasn't fun coming into the space station mission loaded for bear only to have an endless stream of capital ships thrown at you.

Is anybody picking up Dying Light? It looks pretty rad from the footage that's out, but I'm waiting for people to get the retail version in case there's some Terrible Secret youtubers aren't allowed to disclose.

Homeworld is a complete RTS game that just being remade into a higher resolution for cool space dads. Also is two games being sold as one for a cheapish price.

ED is an incomplete space trucker game that is being slowly made but its feature complete for boring space dads. Also is one game being sold at full price.

Edit: The worst is that Cataclysm is not getting an HD remaking :smith:

Bungie are incredible. They've never once done anything revolutionary but everything they've done has been at the very top of its relative genre.

When I was in high school I played a pretty good Warhammer (not 40k) game demo. It was a town under siege by the undead. Anyone know what game that was or where I could get it?

Bearing in mind that I was in high school late 1999 through to 2004 or so

Edit- It is Dark Omen. I am just old...

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat. It came out in 1995 for PC and was ported to PSX. It's considered Abandoned Ware and a quick google search will bring a possible solution to acquiring it. Getting the game to run on modern systems may prove a little more difficult.
