it'll be interesting to see if CoH2 ever comes out.. or if they stuff the money in their pockets and run to the creditors they have.

However, that extreme gap may very well provide another gap up to $2.5~$3. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/g2AjS.png) | ||

was not a good impression with me fumbling around trying to remember them all games were so much better back in the day, everything was so freakin complicated and rewarding | ||

But getting used to controlling things in a 3 dimensional space can be tricky even though the controls were pretty friendly. | ||

About quality of the title, yes, it's an opinion. About support, developer awareness of the community, and even basic bugfixes? the cold, hard truth. DoW1 support history+ Show Spoiler + I enjoyed a lot the first DoW saga, i even bought all the expansions (3)...can't really speak about vanilla or Winter assault but the last 2 expansions received less than 2 patches each, and what patches! Dark crusade was basically a freewin game for 2-3 races, and the tech prices were massively underpriced (imagine lair and hive tech costing 25/25 with painfully easy requirements in WoL). And it was the expansion famous for cleaning the mess of Winter Assault, really (balance wise) Soulstorm was better balanced, due to not being made directly by Relic (it received a lot of flak however due to how badly the new flyers were implemented, a marketing decision) but it however shipped with a game-breaking bug: The sisterhood player could build a structure and abort it for a bigger refund than the initial cost(!) therefore achieving infinite money. Patch 1.01 came in, and fixed that, however it brought in a couple of lesser bugs and a bug that would reset the Eldar player's resource bank each time he used an ability of a type of units >.< Then came Patch 1.02, fixing that (some months after launch) but breaking irreversibly the automated matchmaking. No patches followed 1.02. Tons of wasted potential, sigh. Then came DoW2, which is pretty much universally hated by DoW1 fans due to a complete pace shift and also a genre shift (RTS->RTT). Besides, Relic has an history of making bullshit expansions (yea 1 race per expansion in dow2, when you know at least 2 WILL be added,and are already planned) I loved Homeworld 1 and 2,but i guess those were other times, and a different Relic. (btw, yea HW2 is much better gameplay wise, expect in its usage of fighters and corvettes, which dumbed down the game a lot.... HW1 multiplayer was however a bugged repair corvette/frigate spamfest) but but i preorderd COH2 I believe if shit was about to hit the fan, another big company/publisher would pick up CoH2, it's just too big of a title to be left in the dust... the development process could suffer a lot tho. Shame about the Darksiders series... | ||

But i have to agree the homeworld franchise was an incredible one. But getting used to controlling things in a 3 dimensional space can be tricky even though the controls were pretty friendly. Yes, i am speaking about the franchise mostly. It's one of the few games that when i watch some of the cutscene "videos" give me true nerd chills. The music... oh god DAT music (turanic raiders :ddd), at that time, i hadn't heard something that good since TA hehe. Yes BW music was good, but didn't give me that feeling ;P Getting used was tricky i totally agree, but the controls were fine, complex, but they weren't clunky (which happens nowadays in an absurd amount of titles). @Skirjman Yes, it's an opinion of course, noone should ever discuss that. And as a DoW 1 and DoW 2 player (which i played competitively for quite time), their patch policy was awful to say the least. But the game feeling was quite good (DoW 1, DoW 2 is okeesh imho). I totally agree with you on that one... but my inner nerd child just remembers Homeworld and forgives everything haha. | ||

I enjoyed the DoW titles (quite) and CoH (a lot !) but these didn't stay very long in my little sanctuary of best games ever. Homeworld is still right in there... I wonder where the original relic's developers ended... | ||

keeping in mind the 10 for 1 reverse stock split that occurred in the summer... in January of this year if you bought 10 common shares of THQ it cost approximately $60 and those 10 shares are now worth about $1. i hope Relic still gets CoH2 published. | ||

Neither title is as good as Broodwar, but CoH/DoW are 100000x better than that shitheap WoL. I enjoy playing both games just to relax and have fun, Warhammer is easily my favorite universe anyway and the games are kinda mindless fun which i enjoy. I like CoH since well i enjoy WW2 games and its pretty enjoyable in its own rights(since you cant just faceroll through the game due to cover mechanics and all that) I do hope they stay afloat though, I really wanna play a CoH game based on the eastern front -_-. | ||

I realize there has been som questionable business strategies in the past but, do they run that deep? And didnt they JUST relase a game like a month or two ago? the oversimplified answer is this they are not making money. A more complex response is: in an ``investors call`` that corporations with stock sold on NASDAQ must perform THQ provided no information. Normally, EA and ATVI will provide an estimate of future earnings along with a `question and answer`` session with press members or whoever is attending. THQI provided none of this. No estimates of future earnings. No ``Q&A`` session. And they HALTED TRADED on their stock immediately after ending their ``Investors call``. During this session they admitted they have to pay off a $100 million bond in August of 2014. Looking at their upcoming products I see no way for THQI to raise $100 million. Also, they hired a ``Venture Capital`` firm to help them raise money. All these aer bad bad signs. Also, THQI might have to `dilute their common shares`` in return for money that they raise during this time of crisis. This makse the current common shares less valuable. Its like a country printing money without anything to back it up. If Canada out of no where tripled the amount of money in circulation then the current money held by every day people would be worth less. That is a longer version. There is an even longer version than that.

Imagine a homeworld with those new graphic engine with volumetric clouding, light effects,etc That would be so amazing. The fist one was so poetic, and you felt so fucking lonely, I loved it. Looking back THQ had some very nice franchise alongside HW, red faction, CoH, DoW, even impossible creature looked really fun. | ||
