Is hw2 worth my money

Recommended Posts

I asked this to other people on some other forums, I was wondering is this game worth my money. Home World Two, they said the original was full of bugs and crap, but my friend recomends it. But I did research and found out that their devloper like abandoned the community

Also someone showed me this funny video about sieara

Does anyone have HW1 that could give me some advice?

The first one wasn't full of bugs, or crap. Well, not to me. I'm eagerly waiting for number two. Oh, and for the record, Marweas is Sierra's PR(Public Represenative), not developer. Relic I beleive is the developer, Sierra is just publishing.

I don't know about buying it. It's really up to your decisions. Personally, I rarely go upon others opinions(though, the game isn't in stores up here.).

If your so concerned, they you should wait until the demo. I do that alot.

From what i just read on Gamer's Hell , you will be able to judge if the game worth buying very soon smile_o.gif

Quote[/b] ]Vivendi Universal let us know they will release a demo of HomeWorld 2 tomorrow, allowing you to try out this imminent space sim/RTS sequel by Relic Entertainment. The demo will contain "a tutorial, two single player missions and two multiplayer maps from the full game." Of course, you can count on us to bring it to you as soon as it's available smile_o.gif

Homeworld is not only NOT full of bugs or crap, but it is one of the best, if not THE best pure RTS game I've ever played. Not to mention that it's beautiful the way you wish more games were, intelligent the way you wish more games could be, and challenging the way you used to think of games as challenging. It's a benchmark game for the genre, if not the entire industry.

So it would figure that it didn't sell very well.

COMMAND & CONQUER R0x0RZ!!!! iT 0wnZ h\/\/][

kidding...

I have yet to play an RTS game that isn't brainless. I remember trying the HW1 demo and not being impressed, but I can't recall why. I'll have to try out this new demo. Maybe I'll have developed 'taste' in these, my older years? Or maybe just lost enough brain cells to appreciate RTS.

Anyone who said HW1 was full of bugs and crap should be locked up somewhere smile_o.gif.

HW2 could be game of the year if all goes well (imo).

I will not go into detail to not spoil anyone .

Installed the demo , played tutorial , then tried the multiplayer maps in Player vs CPU mode .

I dont see anything new since Homeworld 1 it seems to be the same game with just better graphics ,

In the skirmirsh , i dont find a real use of strategy and tactics in the middle of a battle despite the rock/paper/scissor concept that made an effective counter for each kind of ship.

Conclusion , i dont like it an uninstalled it.

Then a day after, i wanted to give it another try , perhaps i was just in a bad mood before playing .

Reinstalling the demo , and , before  accessing to the menu a black screen with computer freezing , another try same result.

Uninstalling again and deleting the demo

After that i tried to play one of the small video i have on my system , i had the surprise to have sound but no image.

Reinstalling latest divx codec (good to have backup) , image is back to normal

I dont know if it is my system or the demo that uninstalled a part of the divx codec (first time i see that) , but this game is now forbidden on my system.
