A few days ago I booted up some Homeworld 2, which if you have ever known me (sorry about that) or read more then this post on the blog know that I love this game. No idea why. Actually that is not true, I do know why it is because it is fun, strategic, pretty and really engrossing. A simple match can last twenty minutes or an hour. The game itself while being played has a way to create a narrative in your own ships without you even knowing it. Meaning while in a battle the player is trying to keep a ship alive out of a connection to it.
The reason I say all of this is because of I have screenshots of the latest battle. Whoop!
I like the way the game does fighters. Somehow they are pretty to see in a firefight while not being taking a static path to fight something fighters will actually move around a little adding a bit of character.
The only problem I have with this game is that after capturing a carrier which is pretty much a construction ship I cannot actually use for anything. I had spent a great deal of time in this match trying to see if I would be able to use the carrier to create the other races ships but no, can't even create my own. Other than that though it is fun to see ships board others and then use their ship against themselves.
Battle-cruisers! They are the coolest ship in the game and both races are well designed. They look cool in battle and somehow just seem like they can blow a lot of shit up, which they can. The cool part is that each battle-cruiser for the races has a different major weapon, one using beams and the other pretty much a big ass gun. The problem though is in most battle's the white battle-cruiser which is Hiigaran can defeat the other battle-cruiser in a one on one battle.
Hope you enjoy the pics and made you all of a sudden go "shit I need to play this game now!" because that is my hope.
