Defense Grid 2
« on: Mon, 14 July 2014, 15:54:29 »
Solid so far..

Upgrade towers.. +  Boost Hub upgrade.. the hub thing that goes under a tower.. so M0ar upgrades basically..

Graphics atm sux, they didn't finish the lighting i think... pretty gpu intensive for what it is..

Looks really bad graphics wise...but i guess ill try it.  I really like tower defenses but the last one I can think of that I enjoyed was defenders quest.

the regular defense grid is AS good as defenders quest....  This new one is in Beta.. Graphics suck as of beta, I know

I don't see anything super new about the genre.. they did add this multi level thing.. where new portions of the level opens up mid game..  but I find that confusing.. and unnecessary..

I havent played DG1.  Just tried DG2 and holy **** you werent kidding about gpu intensity.  My old 6950 was up to 90C with fans at 100% at 1440p.  It took me a little to understand what those "upgrade" things were from the commander tower(extra ramp thing and moving platforms?) but I thought it was kind of cool...but also as you said, unnecessary.  Really wish there was an options menu at all.  Even if its just to like change volume or something.

Heard the game is good. My roommate has been playing it the past few days. I can hear him yelling about the lag :))

i think i should be pretty solid fun once full release....  I really do not like the boost pedestals though.. if you put one on the outside, it seems to block towers behind it.. that's stupid.. and unnecessary... there's no gooood reason to complicate the dps equation with this..
