UNIVERSAL VIDEO GAME THREAD

[Caleidah]

Dark Souls II has given me more of that sadomasochistic joy that I got from the first one. Sitting on NG+ of my second character. The gameplay feels a little closer to Demons' Souls, and is a lot closer to DeS in difficulty than DaS 1 was. I've been having fun obliterating people in PvP for daring to try and cast spells at me. Strange how quickly we can develop hate reactions to things.

I haven't played any because I'm a filthy casual / easy-going easy mode player, but how many time have you died? I checked in on my brother occasionally and he was rather dismissive about dying only a few dozen times throughout the course of the game. sweatdrop

Digitally remastered versions of Homeworld and Homeworld 2?

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!  

[Vikki Stardust]

I voted, dunno why, but I did my part, now do yours. wink  

[Hoxtalicious]

Well, I guess that's going to cost me money now. I wonder if they'll keep the Yes credit song. If it doesn't it's just not the same. emo

Indeed, one of my favorites.

One thing that I think is going to make this really good is that they're not only redoing the textures, they're redoing the polygons too. Homeworld 2 came out in 2003, and looked pretty stellar; redone to today's standards is going to be downright amazing. emotion_drool

Looks like I'm going to need a system upgrade one of these days.

On the bright side, working multiplayer?

One can hope! I still need to find the CD Key for Homeworld 2... sweatdrop

They didn't mention Cataclysm, you think it'll be left out?

From what I remember Cataclysm was a stand-alone game in between the first and second game done by... Barking Dog Studios(?), now part of Rockstar Studios, so chances of that one being thrown in, slim to nil. I don't remember it being any good either.

Perhaps not, but it had some nifty features.

So, here's my wishlist for the remastered version:

-Resource auto-collect at the end of mission objectives (saves the hours of finding something else to do...)
-Turanic Raiders and Kadeshi as playable fleets in the skirmish/multiplayer
-Game speed slider (already available in Cataclysm, up to 8X)
-Pilot view (also available in Cataclysm)

I think the second game had an automatic resource collection once the mission was over, which is neat, but alas, no prep time for the next mission, as with the first one.

Game speed aside, I'm not sure what I'd want, I was pretty happy with the game as is.

I wonder if I still have the manual.

I have it around somewhere, great stuff in that. whee HW2 did have auto-collect, but like you say, no mission prep time. Made the game a bit more seat-of-your-pants because you had to think on the fly instead of preparing for everything.

The speed wheel went up and down, I think from half-speed to 8X speed. It was a nice middle-of-the-road solution to the resource harvesting time issue, IMHO.

I've been chipping away at Payday 2, trying to earn 200.000.000 just so I can burn it all and unlock a pair of sunglasses. sweatdrop
