I'm baaaack! (Games Discussion)

[shemp0429]

Hey all! Haven't been around in a while, but I found a game similar to HW and thought I'd turn everyone on to it. It's called MINER WARS. As far as I can tell it's still in "pre-alpha" stage (whatever that may mean) so there isn't much to it yet. You start off in the middle of an asteroid in space some distance from Earth. You can drill and collect ore from asteroids or mine through them. There are weapons you use to kill enemies that attack if you come near. Right now that's all you can do. The game has been in "pre-alpha" for quite some time now and I don't know what they're waiting for but the best I can determine is that the "Beta" is coming out in February. What I found was a flight experience very similar to HW. Plus you can roll 360 degrees.
I'm hoping they make it into a full game pretty soon. It'll also be single player and an MMO. You can download a demo which is pretty much the whole thing right now. Also if you pre-order (currently 70% off!) you get the sandbox as well.
I also tried A.I.M. 2, but it was very confusing to me. I kept getting lost, or blown up or just unable to figure out what I needed to do next. The concept seemed good, just too spread out and disconnected. Maybe I was missing something. A little more direction to get me started, idk.
Oh, well. I've rambled enough. Good to be back on Titan!
Speed and Greed.

Welcome baaaack!

Miner Wars.... thats it, I'm not sure if was flap or Duncan who mentioned about it a while back. A couple of days ago found it in a torrent site for download... think you´re right, pre-alpha version, I got the impression the game is a MMO with a singleplayer feature... saw a youtube video and it seems very nice...guess i should try it soon.

AIM 2 rock but you are correct, 90% of the time you don't know what the flying fuck is the mission about... after getting killed 300 times in a row it gets a bit repetitive, more considering you are just doing time awaiting certain mission to trigger by accident

Mine Wars seems to be a great game concept and coming along nicely. I got the download just before Christmas. Someone on this board mentioned it, but didn't give much detail. Thanks for reminding me that it's still out there. I need to load it back on my machine.

A.I.M. 2 - Was straight forward enough, kill, capture repeat till the next mission, build your clan up in an area till you control it, afterwards move to another area, boss spotted? Kill or hail and do the mission they ask, then return to recruit them, Gotta Collect The All, then take all 9 the Generation 9s (Or was it G10?) back to the starter area and Plug'em In to the tower, game over, you won. Though I think there was a alternate story ending if you choose to follow it near the end.

A game I've heard a lot about I tried out to night was Audiosurf, it is a lot of fun, I had to try out a couple of Hardwar's Sound tracks in it.

For what I've read about AIM 2 there are multiple possible endings... don't know if thats true or not... and I personally missed the straight forwardness nature of the game, I guess it could be due my brain train to translate it to Spanish with the consecutive massive brain fart it causes....
