This means, as well as tracking down the planet's assets ahead of your rivals, you will also find yourself taking them on in direct combat, clearing the way for your fleet to dominate the off world.

And with said battles come the spoils of war. New vehicle parts and weapons can be scavenged from other prospectors or built from the minerals and resources you find, and by testing new technologies or discovering new blueprints you can further boost your fleet's capabilities.

What was a mediocre game that has the potential for a great sequel?

Posted: 07 Aug 2018 05:57 PM PDT

For as many issues as The Order: 1886 had, in my opinion it introduced a very interesting universe. It had plenty of flaws, but the majority of those flaws were mechanical in nature. The gameplay was very uninspired, and the story wasn't very interesting. But (and this is just my opinion) it has all of the pieces of a really great game. It has very intriguing lore, some likable characters, very cool weapon designs, etc. And I think that if a sequel were helmed by a different developer, they could make something truly spectacular. Even if it weren't a direct sequel but just a sequel that takes place sometime in that universe, it's something I'd really like to see.

What is a mediocre game (whether that's critically, commercially, etc) that you think has the potential for a drastically improved sequel?
