Worth buying for big mods.

[tredavidson77]

Do you guys think with the mod tools out the game will be worth buying when larger mods start coming out? Like that Expanse Hammerlock and Battlestar Galactica mods. Maybe on sale? especially for players that won't even touch the vanilla campaign.

sure thing i believe, skirmish would have been one of the bigger points for this game which other people myself included are gonna be focused on, dont think war games can be edited but skirmish should be doable and also lets not forget other groups will probably make their own campaign, im planning to port over HWU over to hw3 after i learn how to do so ya can count on me for adding more races into the game, NON paid dlc stuff

To be honest with you, i do not think there will be any Big Mods that come out. This game was a total flop. BBI got wrecked by Gearbox and their choice to force a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ writer.

I just gave examples of two being worked on.
Here are the trailers.

And these were being worked on before the mod tools released. The tools should just make it easier.

Another thing how does the games awful story have anything to do with or impact on modding? Especcially when some of the first mods that may come out would be custom missions and campaigns? Just asking cause from what I've heard and seen the gameplay looks fine.

Im hoping im wrong. but a few mods doesnt disprove what i said. Gearbox slaughtered the interest in this game.

I'm seriously hoping modding saves the game.

But what he says makes sense, you just have to read between the lines.
Modders are people too, they build mods so that other people can enjoy them,
if there is no player base, then there's no point building a mod.

Generally, people get attracted to the game first, then stay for the mods, not the other way around.

Looking at Homeworld Remastered you will see that most of the playerbase bought the game for the mods, the playerbase will come once the mods come(very much hopefully)

The reason people will mod HW3 rather than RM is that HW3 allows for larger and better mods than RM with a higher vram limit and better graphics.

Especially The Expanse Hammerlock will bring players to the game because of how neglected The Expanse fans have been throughout the years.
