I think DOS 2 is a better game because the companions and story are much more enjoyable imo, also and thats a personal thing perhaps but I feel like the DOS2 combat is swifter and more fluid which I liked. It was mostly the characters though, the companions actually had personal interesting stories and quests that I liked a lot more, I also think the gear (although the magic armour/physical armour is mwah) system and the leveling up system were much better with the divison in certain abilities (e.g civil abilities got something seperate).

that being said DOS1 is an excellent game and DOS2 might be quite pricey for now, for 12 bucks DOS1 is definitely worth it, you could just buy and play that and later on when DOS2 gets lower buy that.

Thanks Guys i ended up buying X/X-2 remastered edition. I hope its not bad start. Based on Sm.ZIk comments and steam reviews.


I ended up cheating to skip combat after a while when I played it. Really liked the settings, story and characters though. Good game that takes too long to complete due to generic mob fights.

I think I played it 15 years ago and it wasn't the generic mob fights that annoyed me. It was the 5-10 minute unskippable cutscene into boss fights that had a gotcha mechanic. There was one I messed up twice that I just cringed about.

The FFX remaster on PC lets you set half / no encounter and speed up the game if the encounters bother you too much. It doesn't work for the cut scenes though.

That sounds pretty good. I've replayed FFX twice since my first full playthrough and it's one of my favorite games (FF6,7&9 are still better tho). Some of the cutscenes are way too long. Speeding up the game in any way, be it less mob fights or faster fights should be a nice touch.

It's an easy game so it should be a good start to the FF saga.

I will admit my shame that I completed FFX-2. I was a young boy and was distracted by the plot. It really wasn't that bad. The story was pretty werid and most of the good stuff was in side quests and following other peoples stories through the main story as the entire map is unlocked from the beginning.

I don't think the plot was actually his main distraction.

I can think of a couple other things that drew my attn when I briefly played that game...
I can take that responsibility.

FF 9 is the one I'd say to stay away from until you've played a few FF's.


Why would you say so?

My preference order is 7 >= 9 > 8 >> 10 (I only played those four). What put the 10 that much behind is the gameplay system that really did not grow on me, and that is still my main criteria for a game. The story and everything else was still really nice though.

So I bought Homeworld Collection: Remastered based upon the recommendations here and unfortunately I'm pretty disappointed... maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I've read a few guides and played about 6 hours, and mostly I've found it more annoying than fun. I don't like having to wait around afk after each mission to collect all the resources, and based on the videos I've watched the only real tactic is to keep your salvage corvettes alive so they can swoop in and capture all the enemy capital ships which for me is much less satisfying then blowing shit up. Most of my RTS experience is from SC2, so it could be that it ruined slower paced RTS games for me.

Anyone have suggestions about how I can have more fun with this game? I'm close to uninstalling.

Strongly recommend you don't powergame or try and do things optimally. The game is easy enough that there's no need to collect scrap or salvage anything. IIRC it even adjusts difficulty based on your current fleet.

Just enjoy the atmospheric ride, build stuff that seems cool, take your time blowing things up, and drink in that Dune-esque ambience. There isn't really another game like it.
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

I actually recommend playing without using salvage corvettes at all; they're totally broken in the vanilla game. Also, I thought the remastered version gave a button to gather remaining resources (or am I thinking of Homeworld 2?). In any event, as stated above, Homeworld is better if you don't powergame, especially because enemy difficulty scales to your fleet, so it's not really necessary (or even helpful) in the first place.

FWIW Homeworld 2 and especially Deserts of Kharak are more balanced than the original game, which is cooler on account of both story and certain complexities of control (strike craft vs. strike craft battles can be microed very intensely if you have the APM for it.)

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/08/24/the-last-remnant-removal-in-september/

In kind of a werid test for the thread The last remnant is being delisted from steam in about a week. I don't know why but its a pretty uniquely deep RPG from Square enix that has its own place in the RPG world. Not the best PC port but a pretty good game if you can put the hours into it.
