The story is ♥♥♥♥, homeworld didnt deserve this.

[lily40k]

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it or pretend it's ok, it's ♥♥♥♥. Whoever was in charge of it should willingly leave or get fired imo.

It's a shame because the technical and sound side of things is awesome. Devs did fantastic work with it... but the campaign made me uncomfortable 99% of the time.

What are these closeup shots, some of these closeup shots with characters in tights are straight up making me uncomfortable and I can't take anything going on seriously.

Did no one in production find this uncharacteristic of homeworld? It just makes me sad.

Cataclysm and Deserts of Kharak were the peak homeworld experience and so far they have stayed at the peak for me.

Its hard to see how this came about.

Now I see where some got the idea of giantess fetish... legit didn't think about it until improvise reminded me of the cutscene where Tiaa'ma starts huge in size and then Imogen goes huge too.. wait how'd some get giantess fetish from that? Like I thought it was from the prevalence of going into gigantic holes in big monoliths not an astral projection type deal where bigger size is metaphorical and, from what I recall, no one got sat on or eaten so yeah..
Also that hyperspace window at the end isn't to send em to space heaven, it's to atomize them (remember what that Kalan pirate carrier did to that asteroid? yeah, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ way for Karan to go but eh).

HW3 return of the Karans, learn how the karans face adversity and follow their journey in the cold, dark void of spaces.

[RoReaver]

They are it's just a slower night. Friday, peeps got ♥♥♥♥ to do, was also gonna head off now too

Cataclysm frankly may be the best of all. You should play it, it's not hard to make it work on modern hardware with very few tweaks.

I picked up Cataclysm/Emergence from GOG for cheap, but it hasn't aged well and is vastly inferior to the remastered edition in terms of aesthetics which hurts immersion. Is there a mod I should know about that improves the experience somewhat? Cause I can't really get into it in its current 'old school' state.

I only used this (and i also did GOG)

basically make sure you have your high resolution and not play on default blocky one + fix the laggy menu, you should have 0 performance problems, it should run smooth. If not then you have something to fix.

The only problem i had with cataclysm was navigating trough empty space, i think there was no way to just use mouse or wasd, but very easy workaround is to double press control groups and there was some other way to fix it too, just play the tutorial and use everything you learn.

Its 1000% worth it, i'm glad initial impression didn't stop me from playing. Just do first 2 missions and if you are not hooked its not for you.

Keep dreaming. Sequel trilogy murdered both the canon and the main storyline. HW3 didn't really touch canon overly much even if you didn't care for the story so even in the most pessimistic of interpretations, completely ♥♥♥♥ story, you now only have 2-3 differences from the start:

- Karan - gone
- Incarnate - still present in the Galaxy so likely gonna splinter like the Taiidani
- Progenitor Trinity - gone (plothole from HW2 sealed)\

Edit: Considering it after a few minutes, that actually means HW3 did more to fix HW canon post HW2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ than HW:R did so we're in a place where we don't have the cores anymore (so more chance to see conflict) and with Karan gone there's less chance we'll be stuck following her or in her wake.

I will be shocked if there is a sequel to this trash.

I'd be shocked if there isn't tbh. You think this is trash but it's nothing compared to HW2 or DoK from a canon perspective. It's a reset story the more I think about it. We'll see in time though.

[spike984]

I was able to feel like HW2 and DoK was a pretty good experience though (I've beaten both but don't remember much of the story) ; this however is just pathetic.
