Anyone tried out Homeworld 3?
Anyone tried out Homeworld 3?
Reviews are looking a bit dire atm. Honestly Relic was the only company that could make a good RTS and they're gone
I guess you could say relic is no longer a company of heroes.
BBI did Deserts of Kharak and that game wasn't bad at all.
HW3 is ok. Presentation-wise, it's great. Visually it's amazing, audio is amazing. Story-wise, the campaign is a bit better than 2 but not as good as HW1, Cataclysm or DoK. It feels really rushed and you don't really get a chance to get to know the new characters well, and imo the campaign is waaaay too short. Also, the cgi cutscenes are pretty bad compared to the storyboard animatics of the previous games. Gameplay-wise, it's... ok? Balance feels off (some units like Assault frigates feel overtuned), strike craft are too fragile, the production queue is a bit too generous in letting you queue up multiple unit types and maybe most egregiously unit-pathing is prone to bugging out and doing weird stuff, but it's fine most of the time. If you like how combat feels in HW1, 3 actually returns to that and mostly feels similar (minus the fragile fighters) so personally I appreciate that at least.
Imo give it a few months for QoL and balance patches and mods (mod support is built in) and this game will be a sleeper hit. Hard to recommend it right now unless you're a diehard homeworld fanatic though.
yeah the reviews are looking bad. Shame, considering how much I loved the first two games
gonna give it a try when I have some more free time
Idk once i saw them mention roguelike elements i turned off the trailer. Went from 100 excitement to 0 in a minute
Inferior flat mothership = naaaaah.
A petty reason, I'll admit, but it'd mildly irk me every time I had to use it - and there's nothing worse than being mildly irked. Not even being fully irked.
Waiting for the crack. Since its denuvo its gonna take a while. Im more concerned about the remastered patch 2.303 i hear it adressed some memory limit isues that they promised but never deliveted. The crack is also not released yet but its steam so its easier.
Nevermind. Im an idiot. There is a thing called the goldberg emulator that cracks the steam games for you. Works for linux and windows as long as they dont have extra dmr. Even i could use it, and im not a comuter nerd at all. So you can play with patch 2.303 after all.
If you search in yandex one of the first results is an uncracked version in direct download. Its a page called pix something 7.5 gigs. Seems to be safe i downloaded from there. Use a download manager so you can restart the conection, i have a shity unstable 250kbs line and could restart several times with j downloader 2. Wich i often cant do woth direct download sites. Thete is a torrent in bitdig but the trakers seem down.
