Homeworld 2 demo

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

I find HW2 kind of disappointing. Some nice changes here and there, but nothing BIG. Y'know what I mean?

Post Mon Sep 08, 2003 3:16 am

it doesnt bother me cause ive never played homeworld

May the force be with you, for me, to poop on.

well theyre not gonna blow the big tomali on the demo, its just a taster of the new control system and graphics.

@Taw: how about shutting the hell up old man. dont you have a pension to collect and a wife to obey. my will all those afternoon naps you old folks have i'll be suprised if you could find the time to teach me anything. especially since youre gonna need time to go off on a story about how motherships didnt look like that in the old days when you were a lad, when a game costs a ha'peney and you still change for the bus fair home

Well, they actually reveal quite a bit, imo. Basically what I was hoping for was stuff like battles around planets, where you have to use gravity to strategic effect. Stuff like that. Otherwise, it's basically a graphics, interface, and AI tweak.

I was part of the HW1 Mod Community, and I happen to know what would make HW2 perfect, A Freelancer Mod. Take the Hint. Liberty as the Hiigarans, and whoever you damn well please as the Vaygr.

I got this demo...reminds me a lot of O.R.B. some cheapy game for sale for probably 2 bucks...But yea, this game is soo frickin awesome, even for a demo! The graphics are also equally astonishing..my computer ::almost:: couldn't handle it!

O.R.B. was based around the idea of homeworld 1, homeworld 1 is better than ORB so HW2 is bound to be ALOT better.

"Twice and Twice shall he be marked,
twice to live and twice to die.
Once the heron, to set his path.
Twice the heron, to name him
true.
Once the Dragon, for remembrance lost.
Twice the Dragon, for the price he must pay."

I have the demo to thank for making me realize my 3d card sucked, only 54 bucks for a radon 8900 (or is that another zero tacked on?) thank you ebay!
