I'm not sure whatever artard that posted those idiotic referrals understands that
.

That is, I've already googled it and every single site says the same thing. Why would you refer someone to a google search? How bloody stupid is that? Is it an implication that I am too stupid to google something BEFORE I post a request for information about it in an unrelated forum?

If anybody has real information about or experience with SR2:Reboot, I'd like to know. Not even Gamerankings has a section for it, and they have nearly every game made in the past decade on there.

Seconded...



(I understand the reason behind it, just trying to build up a lobby for a publishing deal. )

Since some of you have tried to buy it whilst owning SR:2 surely you have some info about what is added to make it a worthwhile attempted purchase. I am in the same boat as the OP, owning SR:2 and left to wonder if reboot actually adds anything to it.

Foured.

Well, you DO have to realize that they were trying to make an expansion for a game that has been out for a few years already, so things may have changed rather dramatically. Additionally, I should point out that for the new items, weapons and ships, they needed to create a whole range of new assets, either 3d pre-rendered or 2d-drawn, and that can take quite a bit of time.

One big quality-of-life improvement I can name is a very big one, especially considering where the game is being sold - the expansion removes StarForce DRM on the original disc and allows you to play the game with no CD in the drive...so in a way, you could think of it as a completely legal no-CD and no-DRM crack with some new content added to boot.

That said, this expansion is by no means REQUIRED to get full enjoyment out of Space Rangers 2 - it's mostly designed, I think, to appeal to those who have already enjoyed the game for quite some time, rather than to add so much new stuff to try and draw new people in. Still, I do acknowledge that the fairly thin amount of new content in the expansion is, well, rather disappointing - you'd think they'd have spent more time coming up with new stuff. Then again, the developers behind the expansion aren't Stardock...

I acutally found SR2 to be completely bug-free. Except, of course, for some rather serious (and hilarious!) typos and translation gaffes, but I never had a single crash-to-desktop or issue of any kind.

"-5 new text quests of varying difficulties"

Pretty sure there's should have been a *lot* more than that. Translation job only half done?

"-New unique ships for the true high-end player, available at certain stations"

Which are not actually available because they cause automatic crash to desktop.

"-New items and improvements for your ships"

Which don't appear to exist. Anybody managed to find the 2 new engines/grippers/droids etc that are supposed to be in the game? Or any of the unique hulls *other* than the special "quest reward" type ones?



Don't get me wrong, I play the game enough that just the search function alone was worth the money in time saved! But I am feeling like we still have a rather cut down version compared to the Russians.
