There's also literally Homeworld on Steam, if you want more than just "Homeworld-inspired"

Be warned, the remastered edition of Homeworld 1 does not play like the original one. They could not make the old "real physics" engine work with the remastered graphics so shots and damage are now RNG based instead of traced like they used to be. Its not bad but its a different gameplay experience.

Sometimes someone's life's calling is to make life-size statues of anime characters.

It seems to be working out pretty well for whoever it is, and unlike Star Citizen there are multiple finished products.

I know why they get mad about it, but Derek's stalkers getting mad about Beer is still amazing to watch in a curious way.

Guys I think Moma's whole "I have sources" thing is just a joke about Derek.

He started doing it after one of his many beltdowns about TheAgent, 8ace and Derek so yeah I've always figured it was just pot-stirring. But in fairness I treat his predictions the same as anyone's, I wait to see what they get right and go "That's neat" afterwards.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Still, it's an awesome upgrade to the old game. And what sucked in Homeworld II wasn't the control system, it was everything else. :colbert:

I'd always thought a great cross play idea would be a kind of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter where the console game was different than the PC game--but each was the others adversary. i.e. The consoles would have the Tie Fighter game and the PCs would have the Rebel side of the story.

Yes, probably one of the worst 4X release of all time. They somehow put a few month old alpha version as a Gold release for Steam. The backlash was terrible and the real "Gold" they put up the following day was only slightly better. They then started an very good effort of weekly patches but the damage was already done. From all accounts, even after a year of constant patching its still full of bugs and now completely abandoned, having nearly killed its studio.

The graphics of the second one are definitely superior but everything else, from gameplay to stability, is poo poo.

The Hyperdimension series is also piss cheap, but they are very acquired taste games. If you like JRPGish games, they're well worth checking out for their 4th wall smashing jokes.

e. Neither are space games, but who the gently caress cares? TLD is also an early access done right.

Nah, they did not spend years on that turd. I would bet that dev time for the SM we have now started a month or two after the Crobblers "Its already In the game" comment that did not really fly well with backers. If the whale had swallowed the worm instead of having a fit there would be no SM as we have now.

But the very core gameplay loop is very enjoyable, it's a shooter with many twists: the longer TTK due to space-armor, the EVAing around, where you can get shot from all sides and ambush hostiles in similar ways, the way you peripheral vision is killed due to the helmet, the helmet and HUD is very well made so it almost feels.

This is the only gameplay loop :q:
