RE: Homeworld - a blast from the past
Loved how you could knock out subsystems with the bombers, like shooting the engines of inbound capital ships and moving the battle away from their guns and support.. Good stuff.
This was not the case for the first game. This was added in Homeworld 2, and was one of the better addition to give depth to the tactical options available. Unfortunately, the story was not as good and the enemies scaled with your strength, making decisions feel inconsequential. Still a great game, just not legendary like this one, which was way ahead of its time :)
Oh it didn't in the first? I stand corrected then, been some time ago since I played the first one :-), loved the standalone expansion too; cataclysm.
No worries, not sure if they added that to the remastered version, so maybe it is true for that; thus we may both be right :)
An yeah, Cataclysm was awesome, there's a rerelease on gog.com. You can buy it here. Much better than the sequel in my opinion. Totally disappointed Gearbox didn't iclude it in the remaster.
