Well of Souls Forums

I haven't played the first one yet, but System Shock 2 is awesome, it's also available on Steam and GOG.

*facepalm* never trust those auto-alert

but that actually a good thing since it seem that the game is a bugged as an EA/Dice game on it launch date

33%. Ouch.

Yeah, not a single "mixed" even from the pros.

The Metacritic rating, it's a 33 out of 100. One of the worst I've seen. Not THE worst, but up (down?) there.

The X series' flight system has always felt... off. Wonky. Wasn't really looking forward to the new one since it seemed they were intent on "fixing" a lot of what set them apart instead of what held them back. I'd like to be a fly on the wall at corporate as they handle the fallout from this one.

Edit: I just compared and... how did SotS 2 manage to beat Rebirth (44%)? It wasn't even playable at release.

Im curious but what is the mod about, I read the webpage but it didn't give me too much info ?

and ouch 33% oh why so bad other than being unplayable

nomad: total rework of homeworld 2, making it more....well complex, new ships, new resources, rebalanced, new....everything.
only for skirmish games though, try it, it's awesome.

well does it work on windows seven ?

nomad: well, it worked for me, the question is more does HW2 work, which it does to my knowledge(since i am running a win7, not gonna move to 8 any time soon.), and this is a mod for HW2.

ok Discord, I'll try it and see. I hope it work though

I have never had any problems with HW2 and its mods on both of my computers. (Ultimate and Home Premium)

So it should work without a hitch

I tried Homeworld 2 on my new Win7 system, but it doesn't support the 16:9 widescreen resolutions available on my monitor. It ran briefly in a funky glitched mode and then crashed.

At your own risk, blah, blah, blah.

Doesn't work on my system; HW2 seems to ignore the command line height and width parameters.

I'm not in search of a solution (I can wait for the HD re-releases), just pointing out that it doesn't work on my Win7 system.

I just wish they still made affordable 4:3 monitors. I play a lot of games that benefit as much from vertical space as horizontal and surfing the net is better with vertical as well. 16:10 is the best we can get these days.
