Title: Deus Ex and Derelict
Post by: UniversalLemon on April 08, 2007, 04:47:27 pm: Hi everybody!

I hate to waste everybody's time but I had just used Turey's installer and was wondering if the files 'Deus ex Machina' and 'Derelict' are utterly necessary, as I have tried several times to download them to no avail. Any assistance at all would be useful, thanks in advance.

ZOMG! 27th!

Welcome to the HLPBB, UniversalLemon. I won't waste my time with a welcome speech, so...that is all. :D

I recommend you to DL them once you complete your installations. They're both important campaigns.

Amd if so, are they large files? I really would like the whole package... this looks like a fun game... pluse interplay rocked!

Thank you in advance.

Uhm...a bit exaggerated, but it's somewhat true!

When there are tons of Shivans flying around, like when the Nyralathotep gets loose from the docking rings -- you stand a pretty good chance of actually losing the mission, several times in a row.

There's not some Colossus coming along until later, and when you finally get the Valhalla, then it gets injured and you have to continue to take on Shivans in your (frequently underarmed) old, slow fighters. It's a great idea, and when I finally beat a mission it's pretty cool. I don't know how many times I've hit Alt-J with my hull integrity lower than 25%, but you really are like, come-on, when am I getting out of here. It's well done.
