How is it? Are you liking the game? Worth $60?

I'm happy with my purchase. I think it plays great though the controls are challenging. The story is vastly inferior to HW1 but on par with HW2. Just depends on what you're looking for.

The story is alright, mind you it has a lot to hold up to given its predecessors. The controls are challenging like what NateDogg says and I'm not sure if I'm bad or not but it feels like sometimes the ships don't listen to your commands. Missile Frigates do a weird thing of reversing while firing their salvos which is odd.

The visuals are amazing though.

the game is not great average at best and i sorta like it only cause its new homeworld game but no its not worth $60 wait and wait some more till there a sale hw3 is nothing really special

[Mausklickmoerder]

No. The campaign plot and writing are bad, the pathfinding is botched and gameplay doesn't allow for a deep multiplayer experience. Its still *neat*. Maybe worth 20 bucks.

No the game have no Content.......in the Year 2024 i want Galactiy Map like Total war with Missions to chosse und main Missions....most of the Early Access games have mor Content for 15-30€

well I didn't spend 60$ and I pre-ordered 3 years ago. Was it worth it....probably not. But I did have much love for the title. Not so much anymore. Guess it's the era we live in. 20 years ago when homeworld 2 was made think people actually cared more about the quality of what they produced. Is the game extremely pretty....yes. Is the music on point...yes. Is it fun to play...yes for the afternoon it takes to beat it. Is the story well written and understandable...sorta not really. Is the multiplayer fun...gets old real fast and glitchy, but it is for a minute. It really looks like gear box is really just pushing the mulitplayer aspect. Only real issue with the game for me is the missions are short.....like really short, Once the objectives are done so is the mission then boom on to the next one whether you are ready or not, and unit diversity... they combined some ships, took out others. you know...to be real honest, it's like you bought a really great game but only half at most is there. Just feels like it's missing a lot.

I was a FIG backer and I am unhappy with my purchase. This is by no means a good addition to the Homeworld series and in fact is the worst game in the series. Graphically the game is beautiful, and the main feature that was advertised being using terrain cover while an interesting concept it does not function properly is the game would be better if it was not included.

Possibly the worst game of the year so far in terms of price and anticipation.

[Red00vengsent]

no, actual battle in game feels like 20$ indie RTS title

You don't even have the game in your library. Stfu.

Guys, check if people even have the game before listening to their opinion. There is too many trolls out here.

[[mad.] SaltBro]

i feel like people are too burnt out from bad games and even mid games now just get labelled as bad

HW3 isnt mindblowing, there is very limited content right now. but not gonna lie, the game is visually gorgeous, plays nicely and has me playing over and over. maybe because there are literally no other RTS games to play? who knows. im just looking forward to release day so there are MP lobbies

you dont buy HW for campaign, so i didnt mind how boring or detached it seemed. it got me familiar with game mechanics and thats the purpose

just because the game is not in the library does not mean that these are not fans of the Homeworld universe, I now do not want to buy this game, because the story is really very bad for this universe. There are a lot of crooked mechanics and imbalances. and spending 60 bucks on a beautiful picture and music is not very good in my opinion.

If you liked Homeworld 1 and 2, then Homeworld 3 is worth it.

It is "Homeworld", and all of the gameplay (Z-axis, full 3D) have been retained. It also has very good graphics.

The primary complaint seems to be a shorter than expected campaign. I am not close to finishing it because I like to play skirmish and multiplayer the most, but I'll get there.

[Exile]

It is not that the campaign is short, it is due to it violently contradicting the tone of older better Homeworld games. For something that almost feels as if it is an anime, a very bad anime in it's presentation.

Honestly people stop asking if its worth X amount of money. No one knows what your financial situation is. Let me put it this way, if you are a homeworld fan and have played the other titles I think its worth it in the sense you will get at least 20 hours of good fun out of it.

If you have not played the others but are an RTS fan in general i think you may still like it, but it might be worth playing deserts of kharak and homeworld remastered first.
