If Relic had used this engine for Homeworld the awesome would have fallen in on itself and sucked us into an alternate universe where everything is great. It would have been a universe without this board, and I don't think anyone would have wanted that...

Second picture, left sidebar. I think you'll get up to 7 in the campaign. You can have a whole bunch in the multiplayer. Oh, and there's a ton of mods as well, including an pretty good one.

Hey, I'm trying to get people excited here.

It was much easier when you were all just Yugoslavia as well

Since the sequel has been officially announced and apparently no one has heard of, let alone played this, I made this nice thread for it. Now take your minds back to 2004, it was a dark time indeed, the home consoles were eating PC gaming's lunch and the future looked gloomier than ever. But not all hope was lost, a few still braved the stormy markets and made sophisticated PC games to rival the best the consoles had to offer. Once such company was the Hungarian Mithis Entertainment. Nexus was everything a space RTS should be and more. Instead of focusing on large fleets and hectic action like Homeworld, it took the more tactical approach of giving you a few ships with customization and much more tactical combat. It features individual weapon control, targeting a wide variety of subsystems, power management, boarding parties, drone fighters/bombers, layered shields and much much more. Most importantly it has a pause feature, which lets you take your time when making decisions instead of the hectic hotkey mashing you get in most RTSs. Here is the most decent gameplay footage I could find. Nexus the Jupiter Incident is available on Steam for $10 and unfortunately not on GOG.

I'm more interested in the runes augmenting skills deal, sounds like it has a lot of potential.

Sounds like someone was looking for the most obscure EU country off a list Latvia is in EU and an actual country, though.

The animations are pretty bad, certainly not something you'd put in any sort of promotional material...

Stay a while and listen. You might learn something.

Awesome. Also, what's this Megaton stuff ? A megaton is a shocking news item, in this case Nexus 2 being announced. (and the second one being his drowsiness' squirrely nature)

That is too many megatons for one page to contain. Thread overflow imminent, captain!

Megaton! For once, I'm actually surprised.

No one is innocent and there are sins far worse than praising Bioware. Do not tempt the one who lurks beneath.

Give the demo a shot. I genuinely wanna know what people think, as for over hyped, I mean WTF? Really? It's weird, I keep hearing about it all the time and I don't even know what it's about. Almost like there was an invisible force following me around and whispering "bodycount" into my ear every now and then... Jeez why are you pissing on the man's parade (that includes Morgy too)? Regardless of how good or bad the game is he put a lot of effort into it, you don't have to dismiss it so vocally. Obviously you are new here. This is not only a gaming forum, but also a factory of sorts. You see, happy bright-eyed idealists come in, we work our magic and empty cynical husks come out. This is how we sustain ourselves these days.

Sorry, but Portal 2 crates crawl around on their own and this Bodycount thing has been way overhyped for me to bother with.

It has advanced crates in it? Why didn't you say so earlier? Now I have to check out the game... Portal 2 has the most advanced crates to date. I don't know how anyone is going to beat that.

There's probably a pretty buck to be made on iOS/Android ports of the Gold Box games if someone hasn't done it already. It's easier to cut it up by settings and auction them off that way.

Because he directed his reply at me and it would be rude to just ignore it. I think we had a pretty good discussion about the length vs the value of games and their subjectivity in the DS3 reviews thread with Nathaniel.(at around page 6)

It helps keep all the rabble out

I am not having this conversation again. Do yourself a favor, your drowsiness, and go through the archives. Keep an eye out for longer threads.

Please cut it up, I'm sure there's enough developers who would pony up for a piece.

More regular than you, Gramps

Most people thought it was too long(or at least disjointed) from what I've read.

Everyone's selling out these days, can't wait for Dwarf Fortress and AoD on Steam.

Try Minecraft first. And you just missed a -50% Terraria sale on Steam.
