The Strike Series Reborn -- Megacopter: Blades of the Goddess
The search is over, someone finally appeased the god and/or goddess of nostalgia and revived a helicopter-based shoot'em down that we lost so many years ago. You just have to make sure you watch out for that pizza. And all those damn homing missiles...

Homeworld 3 is the Worst Homeworld
Просмотров 7 тыс.28 дней назад
I didn't expect to be disappointed, but I was prepared for the reality that I could. Blackbird Interactive has made some games I truly enjoy, but the expectations for Homeworld are so high that there was no chance of universal satisfaction. But I'd have been more likely to believe a carrier would hyperspace into my ass than accept the campaign story would be the weakest part of the game. Steam ...

None of that is present, but it still doesn't mean I had a bad time and/or would like to drive a cool mech. *Support* ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ➡️Patreon: www.patreon.com/Endyo ➡️Abbreviated Review...
Star Citizen Doesn't Suck Anymore
Просмотров 12 тыс.Месяц назад
Star Citizen didn't suck. There were just a lot of parts of it that sucked and we all tried to ignore them because of the parts that didn't suck at all. Not all of the game is suck-free now, but the ratio of suck to not suck is much more agreeable at this point.

Helldivers 2 vs Starship Troopers: Extermination vs Deep Rock Galactic
Просмотров 80 тыс.3 месяца назад
Helldivers 2 is certainly doing pretty well. I mean, it wasn't for the better part of a month after it launched, but these days it's kicking ass with only a few devastating crashes that made me want to throw myself into the sea. So how does it stack up against its contemporaries? Turns out, it's doing pretty well there too. *Support* ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ➡️Patreon: www.patreon.com/Endyo ➡...

Sometimes it's worth the effort to branch out a bit. Especially when those branches are tress you're driving your car through with two flat tires, a missing door, and some kind of sentient collection of garbage latched on sparking random electricity.

    Deep rock ia a smaller closer quarters gameplay so not my taste. Helldivers 2 is always actively lying like them saying you cant run 2 mechs so that game isnt an option either. Only game ive been playing out of these 3 now is starship troopers extermination. Its larger scale than either game and doesnt troll players like helldivers 2 does so this has been my pick for months now.

    That Homeworld VR is a lot worse, but it's definitely true as far as mainline games go. The original, considering it was in another century, was a 10 out 10 highly recommend (c) game. The Cataclysm (later Ragnarok becuase someone is scared of Blizzard) was an inventive take on the original. The HW2 was impressive but really held back by the insane autoleveling that literally rewarded taking losses. Also platfrom spam. I don't consider Deserts of Kharak to be a mainline game. HW3 sits firmly last on that list. Not awful but so many things went wrong... From bizzare characters to maps becoming basically 2D to least impressive ship design in the series. In the lore bits of HW1 a single Heavy Cruiser could force a planetary system to surrender, a HW3 Battlecruiser has a special ability where it stops firing...

      It's fascinating that in no review or commentary on this game have I ever said it was "difficult" or "hard," but people just assume that because didn't like it, that's the issue. Despite all of the really clear reasons I've given for why it just simply wasn't fun to play. And if you watched the video you'd clearly see clips from most of the chapters with as few spoilers as possible.

      It definitely takes a bit of a different approach to the formula, but I think it feels more interesting than the standard cover-focused overwatch-heavy design a lot of these tactical games take emulating XCOM. Those are good too, most of the time, but it's good to see some variety.

    DRG does differ from the other two in how the player character views their employer.

They do this work out of love of their job, their crew, and gold.

    Homeworld and Homeworld 2's cutscenes used music and suggestion to evoke ideas and emotions. Sweeping strings, haunting chants, choirs. Characters had few lines. Voice acting was understated but impactful. They played out like myths, moving paintings. It's art that allows you to experience it, and let your mind and imagination wander. Homeworld 3's cutscens are like Pixar movies. Characters are constantly rattling off how they feel and what they think and won't stop talking, and their expressions telegraph their feelings too in case you somehow missed what they were saying.
