https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG_G5I_d72Q Plenty of gameplay snippets in those videos. Vehicular desert themed RTS prequel to Homeworld. Friction is hyped for it, I am curious but more reserved: <Shambler> the gfx and attention to detail look good, but it suffers from the same "can't appreciate any of that zoomed out and in the intensity of rts combat" that almost all rtses suffer from <Shambler> also maybe a bit desert heavy.... What do people think?? vehicle designs are fucking ace, but the actual game looks pretty meh.
I was much more interested when this was called "Shipbreakers" and wasn't an official Homeworld licensed game. You would go out into the desert and salvage huge wreckage of space ships while fighting other ai / players doing the same thing. No idea how much of those ideas survived the transfer to Homeworld. This is what Shipbreakers became? Was pretty excited about that, but this doesn't really look like what I was hoping for at all.
I'm curious about what you guys are seeing now that looks any different from the Shipbreakers teasers.
I remember seeing trailers where it wasn't even really an RTS. Here it just looks like any other RTS really, which maybe is fine.
To be honest I didn't know what I was hoping for, but the atmosphere of the original art and such seems kind of missing here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf3zx_P2vHo
Didn't watch with sound. 1:50 - 2:05 looks great for an RTS. Also in any experience of RTS I've had, if you spent 15 seconds zoomed in like that instead of doing recceing map checking unit building army management etc etc, you'd automatically lose. Welcome to what

Full Release is... right now! waiting on download while I hype. sooo.... how many are playing that? i've seen a lot of hype about it, but I can't decide if I'd like it..... anybody have comments on it?
On my list for a long time as it struggled through various milestones.
Lovecraft JRPG where the debuffs on your dudes are things like 'insanity'. 20% off until 2 Feb and I just bought it. Darkest Dungeon is dope as heck. One of the few games I bought in Early Access; wasn't disappointed with it at all, and it's been improving a ton through the year or so.
It's a game about delving through dungeons with a party of 4 characters, and getting into turn based battles where character positions matter a lot. You not only suffer damage in battle and exploration, but also stress and must manage it as best you can. Individual characters will permanently die, but you can recruit a large roster so your game is not over simply because your party is wiped. The eventual goal is to gain enough levels and items for a party to be able to brave the darkest dungeon itself! Here's a LetsPlay video from BaerTaffy playing the tutorial + a first mission from it's initial release... the mechanics are mostly the same, so it's still a pretty good showing of what the game is all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF1uhwxh8tk I put about 12 hours into DD when it first came out in early access and enjoyed my time with it a lot.
It's similar to xcom in structure in that you must manage a home base (town) and upgrade it over time with resources you find in the dungeons. Also similar to xcom, you have a roster of characters with different classes and stats that you must manage and equip and form effective squads with. Super slick presentation and awesome lovecraftian thick atmosphere. It'll make you cry though. That guy you leveled the fuck up and spent loads of resources on to get them into fighting shape? Yeah they just went insane and had a heart attack GG! Such is life...in the Darkest Dungeon. |
