I must have been some sort of tactical tier 1 operator back then because some of these missions are brutally difficult. Gearbox Homeworld 1 now uses the Homeworld 2 system, so if you go about capturing every drat thing like before, the game scales up the enemy fleets to a near-impossible level. Old Homeworld 1 had a set spawn of enemies and that was it, and the cap was soft so you could capture your way around it, while Homeworld 2 had a hard fleet cap that you couldn't get around. So if you're getting trashed in the new Homeworld 1, it actually pays to suck more and play it like Homeworld 2. Still, I could only beat the original homeworlds with guides, those were some brutal games.

When I played the old one way back in the day I just remember capturing like a dozen ion frigates pretty early on, save scumming if I lost more than 1 or whatever depending on the mission, and spending forever waiting for my resource collectors to get every piece of poo poo on the map before moving to the next mission I tried playing that way with the new one and got loving destroyed, I'm glad to know there was an actual gameplay mechanic reason to it because yeah I didn't remember it being like that!

Did anyone else spend hours capturing every single ion cannon frigate in the death ball at Tenhauser Gate?

It's pretty shocking the number of consumers who simply buy and keep their thoughts to themselves versus a community like Reddit who feels they possess the power to influence a game or trends.

Here's hoping the second one is more well received. I skipped the first one. I think they'll take lessons learned from battlefield one and give us something good. Really pushing the single player narrative right now, which I don't care for, but again, bf1 showed they can do both finally

Yeah, all the bad decisions were the same ones half of all games make anyway, day one DLC, limited shelf life design, etc. So really just poo poo that pisses off maybe 10% of the buying public and honestly feeds development better than we'd all like to admit cowboy elvis posted:Single player campaign looks rad based on the basic story details. I haven't read anything about it or even seen the whole trailer, but my guess is "Anime Waifu TIE Fighter campaign"

Battlefront sold almost 15 million copies, which puts it close to being one of the 50 best selling games of all time. Lots of people buy things and then don't talk about them on the internet

That said, I think we can all agree that game was rushed out the gate and just loving sucked. Most everyone, including me, can't say exactly why it sucks and gets repetitive so fast. I had a lot of fun with the other Battlefront games Also I'm a sucker that bought it on sale--still too much

Yeah I bought it for PS4 chiefly due to the player base being more active on account of Sony making it a bundled game as well as for the PSVR X-Wing mission. Its an action figure simulator at best and I enjoyed very little of it. I really hope the new one is as good as the original Battlefront II was.

I had a lot of fun with the other Battlefront games Wasting 30 bucks on that, when it was on sale a few months back, was a good way to know I never wanted to spend 60 on BF1 since it's essentially the same. Game was absolutely gorgeous, but no hardcore and some other weird rear end design/gameplay decisions just made it a resounding wet fart of a game to me. I'll go back to playing Battlefield 4 like a chump now.
