    You don't get annoyed by the fact that building lighter ships loses meaning very fast? The fleet stacks don't combine when you reach a stack limit, so if you build a smaller fleet of dreadnaughts you can actually destroy even 10 stacks of lighter ships because they every stack attacks individualy, though they should assrape your fleet with the sheer numbers alone. It's basically Haegemonia all over again - where everyone just build the heaviest ships only because lighter ones were a waste of time and money.

  2. Theoretically, light units can be used to quickly evaluate the enemy fleet. But as I said, I am still learning my way around the game, so asking me for advice or opinion is pretty much useless. Once I get a grip, my words will have value.

    Any mod that fixes those butt ugly character models? JC, Paul and others looked like freaks in the vanilla game, while the rest of the graphics looked good enough IMO.

  6. There is HDTP mod with high-poly models of some characters, but it looks fucking awful compared to low-poly, beautiful characters.
    Just take a look.

    Hmm...I see your point. I think I'd rather play with the blurry ones.
    Looks like a classic case of modders overdoing it.

  8. Believe me, I would play a total remake of Deus Ex with new graphics and some additions, but as far as industry goes, that's not going to happen.

    (Meanwhile in another universe)
    The remake of Deus Ex, the greatest game of all times named Deus Ex: Reconspired is going to be released on Dec.25, 2014.
    Deus Ex: Reconspired includes:
    - Improved graphics and AI.
    - New optional objectives and paths to make it even more interesting to the old fans.
    - New optional difficulty modifications to drastically change the flow of the game.
    - Cut missions are included and can be turned on and off during the start of the game.
    - Optional modifications to the gameplay mechanics to return THAT feeling of 'gotta see how this works'.

    It would get hit with broad market appeal. Like HR was. And to be honest I like HR, but the complexity of DE just wasn't there.

    I don't know, looks pretty tasteful to me, well above average modders work for sure.

    Will you accept my application into your prestigious company?

    [​IMG]

    Thank you sir, I think we need a change in the company policy.

    [​IMG]

    I will send several highly trained hired diplomats to Constantinople to convince you of this course of action, sir.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    A wise move, sir.
    But we're just a few steps further to a great change in management of this Empire.

    [​IMG]

    I'm sure you have no issues, as per usual, my highly trained diplomats are on their way to discuss and iron out any issues you may have with this proposal.

    [​IMG]

    Thank you sir, I'm sure you won't mind if I elect myself now.

    [​IMG]

    I waited a few days, but nobody elected me, and I can't wait. What if I tell you to step down now sir?

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Oh well, I tried to be reasonable.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Much doge.

    [​IMG]

    Wonderful act of diplomacy engaged in Constantinople.

    [​IMG]

    Thank you for seeing it my way, sir.

    [​IMG]

    They said I'm Unready, but when I'm ready, I always take control of an Empire.

  12. Theoretically, a good remake would be possible.
    But that would require at least: more-than-just-competent independent studio and tons of money. But I doubt Sqeenix would just hand over the rights for a large sum of money and let the developer do whatever he wants with it.

    BROS, some of you were talking bad things about the "new Tomb Raider game".
    Decided to give it a go and it looks... majestic:

    Too bad that the "next-gen graphics" option seems borked.

    Also: turning the "next-gen" off disables dynamic shadows AT ALL. Is that how it should work?

    I really want to play Deus Ex again, but I can't - I remember every detail. Also, Simons isn't that hard, he died after the second hit of the sword.

    And how would you maintain plot integrity when switching parts of it on and off?

    And he plays a variation of Donkey Kong with ugly mob mutants.

    He doesn't know about feminism and is ready to do anything to succeed.

    In his break time he wanted to play some FPS called Gloom, but some bastard didn't loaded mouse drivers.

    Another mutant, another day...

    Oh my god, dude. I have been looking for this game for about... 15 years? I only remembered a general atmosphere, a bit of the graphics, and the first level (or the level of the demo, not sure if it was the first level) which had you in that village (completely brown iirc) in nothing but huts fighting off zombies (or something). Thanks!!!

    It just happened again after I posted, except it embedded itself wrong and grayed itself out so I couldn't close it even after the 30 second timer was up.
