ITT: Discuss Creeper WorldWhat did we think of the move to 3D?
>>739887889someone explain the storyi have no fucking idea whats going on
Oh man
>>739888031I think ye olde technologically advanced people made nanobots and then were victims of their own hubris and now those nanobots keep purging life whenever they feel like it?
>>739888031blue water is gay cumif it touches you, you become gay
>>739887889Move to 3D looks ok, it's nice seeing a huge wave of creeper approaching without having to mouse over it to check it's height like in 2D games.I wish IXE wasn't so shit and didn't take forever to develop.
>>739887889I prefer 3 over 4, The 3d looks cool but I think it plays worse.Also I really can't seem to git gud at IXE
Are there ANY other games like it? Currently playing Particle Fleet (kind of a spinoff by the same devs, with spaceships) and Infested Planet>>739888206How's IXE shit? I haven't played it yet but I know not to expect a traditional CW game since it's just about pushing ships forward or something
>>739887889I liked 2D games more desu but FPS maps can be pretty funIXE was ass tho>>739888031Blue water bad, Abraxis coolThat's about it when it comes to things that hold true between games
>>739888249Instead of defending and fighting you're gathering various kinds of sand to mix it together to get different results. One mission requires you to manually make a bomb and it's so imprecise and awkward I almost dropped the game.
>>739888236I never finished 4. I stopped on I think the last missions where the creeper gains the ability to infect the land itself, and I just never figured out what I'm supposed to do about a piece of mountain next to my base shitting out creeper>>739888408Is it worth checking out at all if I keep in mind it won't be a CW game really?
>>739888249Perimeter, duh
I played only creeper world 4, I enjoyed it I think but by the end of the campaign it was getting a bit stale for me. I don't know if there was another main mode I was missing or something but every map felt like the same. Get over the initial trouble, deal with whatever the map's gimmick is then slowly expand outwards. Maybe I'm not creative enough to have more fun with it but surely I'm not the only one.
>>739889082You described it to a T, the fun is the initial scramble OH FUCK THERE'S SPORE PODS COMING IN 90 SECONDS AAAAAAA and transitioning to slowly pushing forwards with your turretsThe community maps have crazy shit where you need optimal build orders, but the core of the game doesn't change. It's a comfy game of watching your guys stem the tide
>>739889226>It's a comfy game of watching your guys stem the tideI think this is why I enjoyed it even with this issue, slapping down a shield dome and defending points was nice. The problem is that you could hold things indefinitely. I know you had to delete creeper sources as you go but the last source on the map should constantly increase the volume that comes through or something to make it so you have to be cleverer about expanding and holding. It wasn't bad especially since I paid less than a coffee for it and got like 10+ hours out of it but it felt like it could have used some tightening up. Now that I've been reminded of it, i think it could have made terraforming a much bigger part of the game outside of the maps where it was a requirement, maybe it was too expensive to do when you didn't have to patch up walls or whatever when that was the map gimmick.
>>739888249I know one but it's early access and the engine isn't that goodhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3211850/Calyx/
>>739889579Oh is that the one with the plants? I've seen that one though it didn't quite look as comfyWishlisted to check out if it ever leaves EA
>>739889628Yup, it's playable but not good enough for me to recommend in other thread, but it fits for this thread.
>>739887889>What did we think of the move to 3D?it's alright, but after I found out you can bind a key to switch between 3d and top-down I spent most of the time on top-down mode
>>739889681Oh right I watched the trailer and remembered the main thing that made it seem not as comfy: Limited resource fields like Command & Conquer, so you can't hold out indefinitely
post em.somehow I have only 80 hours in CW3.
>>739888031The water is not niceKill it. Now
>>739890196God help me
>>739887889CW3 was really comfy
>>739888031Creeper good, MC evil. Atleast thats what I think happens in ark eternal
