/v/ - Happy E3

> implying Stardock are the jews

The creators sold their souls to a large faceless corporation.

Brad did nothing wrong, and offered them the chance to be hardcore but their slave drivers wouldn't let them.

>>16498784

Always seen the game posted but never played. What am I getting into?

>>16498806

>DEVELOPERS WORKED FOR A COMPANY, THAT SOMEHOW MEANS THE KIKE IM DEFENDING DINDU NUFFIN

Nice commie tactic.

WE COME IN PEACE

>>16498822

>What am I getting into

Here is a spoiler free review/Overview that I made a year ago to get anons to play the game

Basically it's like Starflight but with cool alien dialog being more of a focus or mass effect 2 but 2D and with good writing.

>>16498828

>fred ford and paul reiche predicted the current state of Europe 20 years in advance

>Brad

>fred ford and paul reiche

I really can't like anyone in this mess.

Path of Now and Forever is the best doctrine, fight me faggots

>>16498842

well, you got me convinced to download the game and test it out next time I "have nothing to play"

are star control 1 and vanilla 2 worth playing?

>>16499088

1 has very little story and is just a battle simulator basically. If you like the combat then yes. Sc2 is that plus much more. The Ur Quan Masters download allows you to switch from enhanced to vanilla graphics. I personally prefer the original pixel graphics.

>>16499088

The SC2 DOS version dialogue is unvoiced and quite different in places to the 3DO/UQM dialogue. I don't remember if UQM can switch to it or not. That's the only big difference.

>>16498784

>Who's your favorite race?

Yehat

>What did you think of Origins?

It's alright. I feel like using the name just opened a massive can of worms however and they should have just made a "spiritual successor" with similar gameplay but a new title.

>Will the original creators be able to finish their sequel or will Stardock jew them out of the rights?

They were never going to make that sequel anyways, Star Control doesn't print money like Skylanders.

>>16498806

>>16498874

This is either baiting or shilling.

>>16502207

In SC1 the Earthling Cruiser will fuck up an Ur-Quan Dreadnought without breaking a sweat- it's maneuverable enough to dodge the Dreadnought's shots while simultaneously nuking them to death. If the Dreadnought launches fighters, the point defense system fries them instantly. Unfortunately the Cruiser was nerfed really hard in SC2, but smart commanders will name their new Empire after themselves so everyone knows who did the heavy lifting.

>>16499009

>which one

the Kohr-Ah follow the Eternal Doctrine.There is no confusion as to what that anon means

>>16502207

surely you mean the psychic human/syreen hybrids that Captain Zelnick sires. He has kickstarted the bloodline evolution that will lead to the Arilou revealing their plan for humanity (they promised to tell the first of his descendants who would be able to comprehend it)

>>16502867

The Dreadnought may be able to close-in and fuck up the Cruiser in cutthroat battles, but if both start at any decent range or Gravity Wells to slingshot from are avaible, the Cruiser has a decisive advantage in firepower and mobility. I think people underestimate the Cruiser because of how fast every other ship is in SC2 and don't account that in nearly all scenarios, you need double the production cost for any ship that matches it in frontal combat. It's an incredibly cheap long-range sieger with an impressive offensive and defensive arsenal, and one of the primary and most effective counters to the absolutely broken Orz Marine Spammers, asides from the Chmmr's solution, which costs x4 times for what the cruiser can do without taking damage by closing in.

Even if the Cruiser dies to the Ur-Quan Dreadnought, it can very easily deal its production cost in damage to the Dreadnought if not more, crippling the ship of a sizeable amount of Crew and making for a very quick strategic loss for any Hierarchy armada fighting any sizeable Allied taskforce with Earthlings if pointcosts are to be considered.

Then again, for all we know, the Ur-Quan could have nearly limitless resources and production capabilities, rendering all of that moot in the grand scheme of things.

*silly cows*

>>16499009

I never noticed before but the Kohr-Ah never blink their bottom large eye.

>>16503987

They're always on the lookout for rogue Dynarri.

>Who's your favorite race?

All of them

>What did you think of Origins?

Dunno, haven't looked into it

>Will the original creators be able to finish their sequel or will Stardock jew them out of the rights?

Yes

>>16503949

*happy campers*

The non-stardock star control game isn't in development, or ever even intended to be. It was basically kickstarter bait. Otherwise you would have seen something about it by now.

>>16505373

Don't even get started on that shit, Mark just hates Star Control threads and will nuke the whole thing if anyone brings up the court case.

so how was the new star control, it got forgotten already

>>16505849

It was sc2 but with better combat but worse writing. If you liked sc2, pirate origins. It plays the exact same.

>>16505790

He's a fag, there's plenty wrong with that.

>>16506981

Did they ever mention his actual sex in game?

Reminder that Starflight was much better than the more casual and reddity Star Control 2.

>>16508104

>Hehe, I will call it reddit. That will show that I am not a faggot!

>>16508174

Star Control 2 is the physical manifestation of reddit.

>>16511226

>hidden time limit

>challenging combat (unless you just spam spathi ships)

>have to look at the map to fulfill some missions

>have to make lateral logical leaps to do so (linch-nas-ploh to lyncis isn't too hard but fuck if it made sense at first)

>humor and fun

yeah, nah, you're a cunt and it's far above Reddit's tastes

>>16505790

from the 1998 IRC chat log with Toys for Bob

<Mephisto_> Fwiffo: Was ZEX gay, or just a little 'confused'?

<Fwiffo> ZEX liked humans. He was into beastiality at the very least.

No. ZEX did everything wrong.

We are here to *squeeze the juice*. Don't forget to *enjoy the sauce*.

I literally just finished playing UQM 30 minutes ago and there is already a thread on /v/. To all the newcomers in this thread I can´t recommend this game enough. It is best played without a guide first, just take your time to explore, write down everything, because you don´t get to have an ingame log/journal and generally just enjoy yourself.

How's origins goys?

>>16511226

You have brain problems

Orz are neat because despite the heavy reality of the Ur Quan war you learn things can always be worse.

>>16514031

The best part is is that you can have these fuckers join your side and fight with you.

>>16514031

Orz are neat because despite being pandimensional 4D eldritch beings their method of attack is sending in space marines in terminator armor and fucking your shit up up close and personal.

They literally could telekill by shifting inside you, by moving an inch through another dimension but "nah, this is more fun. And none of us die anyway because we're all just extremities of a single giant creature"

>>16514103

The Orz want to eat you (planned even before SC3) so the knife-like precision of their kills is more sinister then it appears.

>>16498806

First post, kike post.

>>16505790

ZEX went back on his word. He deserves what happens to him.

Is Star Control Origins worth it or should i never touch that game?

>>16516075

It's worth a pirate if you enjoyed the gameplay of SC2 but with the writing being a bit worse.

Is there any consequence for genociding all planets?

Of course, I am not talking about home worlds if that's even possible

Honestly I'm surprised nobody's tried to do a port/remake of the first game, the combination of 4X strategy plus realtime combat is pretty interesting.

When I get near ur-quan space, lots os ur-quan patrols attack me. is it possible to clear all of them? or they respawn forever?

Because a cyborg controlled sphati ship wins 80% of the time

>>16526926

Ur Quan masters is pretty much a remake/port. Star Control Origins has the exact same gameplay but with a different story.

>>16525667

Go nuts

Can I massacre Spathi ships and then ally with them? Or there's a threshold of "killed too many of us for us to consider being your ally"?

So I've got my QuasiSpace portal installed, but none of my buttons activate it, they all either move or open the menu. Was it not installed because I had no free modules on the ship?

The talking pet plot point worries me, but I got the taalos shield already :^)

If you can defeat 14 orz to enter the planet without their consent, can you actually attack a homeworld? If you win *howevermany* fights in a row? If you can't, how do you even win the game?

>>16531983

>Attacking the Orz

>Trying to destroy your best ally

You are a *silly camper*

>>16532022

tell that to the androsynth, I'd rather remain *no smell*

>>16531983

>If you can't, how do you even win the game?

Where did you get the idea that the point of the game is to conquer homeworlds?

>>16532194

Because you can't make more ships if you have no homeworld to make them on?

How else you stop an infinitely replenishing armada?

Hmm.

Seems like having the talking pet is required to complete the game

I'd rather kill the thing though

>>16503253

>The Arilous Plan

So what the fuck is the deal with the Arilou? Are they malicious and we're just their pet project? I can't imagine that they made it that far and are willing to just keep helping some random backwater species unless they expect something out of it further down the line.

>>16533645

probably to make more species like their own

So the base dude told me about stuff happening at 100:50

But there was nothing there.

I am already growing bored of the game, so I will not check every single star near there to figure out what happened, can anyone spoil me?

>>16535888

Pkunk fleet I think.

Well, thanks to the foreshadowing with what the mhrhmhmrhm and the cheeseninjitsu the game is ruined, they basically spoil the only way to beat the game before you even get the glory device macguffin besides the thing that makes them go super saiyan faster.

I was sold on the idea of finding allies and building an armada to go against the enemies, but the only ally worth recovering is the furryballs because they make people cheaper. All ships (besides the one I saw on super melee that have 4 satellites, dunno how to get it) are useless compared to the flagship after you grind the VUX into infinite piles of RU. Get 3 targeting systems (that makes your shots fucking homing, which seems to even increase the range) and set the hellblaster thing into the second front slot for free double dps, 3 shiva and 3 battery and boom, you got the ultimate hell machine that actually loses to the spiders and pink flesh sacks but beat anything that you need to into submission easily before they even fire. Even the two "bosses" ships.

The only reason the mushroom people's ship is absolutely terrifying is because the point defense is bugged and don't shot the spore thing. But you don't even need to interact with them to beat the game, so fuck them. Even if you DO need, you can just avoid all ships by circling the sector until they lump up, then rush to the planet you need to go, do your thing and walk away

I was promised an space opera but all I got was zelda without dungeons. You go getting the macguffins in specific order and then beat the game. The writting being great don't help at all, if I wanted good writing without good gameplay I would read a book.

All the fun ends when you become the destroyer of worlds but still need to do dump hide and seek fetch quests. Technically this game is a glorified "trade shit with me chain" of quests where you have to both do the fetching and figuring out where the next NPC is.

If every ally at least unlocked a new module for the flagship, then maybe I could bother making alliances, but they don't, I even bothered checking the wiki for the modules. I got them all after genociding 6 worlds of the native life.

>>16536345

>Well, thanks to the foreshadowing with what the mhrhmhmrhm and the cheeseninjitsu the game is ruined, they basically spoil the only way to beat the game before you even get the glory device macguffin besides the thing that makes them go super saiyan faster.

I half assed remaking this statement so many times it became a garbled mess. I will try again

Well, thanks to the mhrhmhmrhm and the cheeseninjitsu straight up telling me how to beat the game, I've figured out that the game is actually a giant fetch quest

>>16536345

>game is too easy

>but Mycons are too hard

Mycon ships are complete ass in AI hands. In fact the only ships that aren't complete ass in AI hands are the ones that rely on killer aim like Druuge and Melnorme. If it's too easy then stop using the flagship and actually learn to play.

>Technically this game is a glorified "trade shit with me chain" of quests where you have to both do the fetching and figuring out where the next NPC is.

So is basically every "open" game of this style, especially in 1992 when it wasn't anywhere near as commonplace. You have almost total freedom of exploration and the order in which you do things, what else were you expecting?

>>16536594

>what else were you expecting?

That the things you do actually matters

The only things that matters are the couple of important fetch quests for the final mission, everything else is just fluff

>TFW we get a new game announced this E3

>>16558057

Don't monkey paw it

>>16548661

>feminine shape

What? No it doesn't, just because it's curvy doesn't mean it's curvy
