Quick Look: EX: Natural Selection II

I remember the first NS being alot of fun right up until the point people realized that if marines camped there own base they couldn't lose

You don't get res for kills this time around, so on one RT, that's going to be a bitch.

you mean people watch QLs to make fun of games like they're B movies instead of learning about them?

i've completely dropped reviews for years due to QLs, so EX is always exciting especially if real devs are around (as opposed to corporate marketing)

This game looks pretty cool, but I doubt my laptop could run it.

As a side note, that Joey revelation was awesome.

I had a dream about this exact game a dozen years ago.  The RTS/FPS hybrid, the aesthetic, mouth cam, everything.
 
Back when we only played Starcraft: Brood War and Perfect Dark, I thought this sort of game would be awesome.  Then Halo came out and then my idea crystallized into this exact game.  Of course, I didn't include Joey so that's probably why my dream failed.
 
I'm freaking the fuck out right now.

I was sold the minute that the power went out and he had to use the flashlight to see, that was so awesome.

Man, I can't believe this game is finally coming out. I've been in the Steam group for like three years but never prepurchased it. I still remember when they started their preorder stuff; almost bought it then. I feel bad listening to the way that the early testers mattered so much.

Never played the first one, but this looks pretty rad. Color me interested.

Really good where you have an EX where the devs get into the spirit of the thing and have some personality. Not normally a big fan of them but that was an excellent watch.

One of the best Quick Look EX's I've seen. The game looks fantastic.

Not disappointed in the least by what I see here. For once, a long-awaited game seems to be living up to my own hype.

Just wish I had pre-purchased when you could get the LE upgrade for the same price. Now they want $15 extra for some digital art assets and a skin? That's just crazy!
