Should i skip to HW2 since 1 is bugged??

[dh_1484]

Just bought the game and didnt play the orginals should i just skip hw1 and play hw2 due to al the bugs in the first one??

Play HW1, most of the "bugs" is a lot of whining from a certain demographic. HW1:R does play differently from HW1 classic. That won't change any time soon. If you're playing the missions you need to start with the first game.

If you only care about gameplay, play the classics, which are also included but your eyes may bleed if you're used to todays standard of visual quality.

There are no consistent gamebreaking bugs. Play it and enjoy it.

HW1R is not so much bugged as its not exaclty the same as HW1.

Oh good, since it's not bugged. Can someone tell me how to get passed mission 10 in hw1? My objectives show completed, x by them, all enemies dead and nothing happens. Reloaded save for mission, same thing happens. Game stuck on mission 10. Any work arounds would be appreciated!

Have you found all the hidden enemies? There was a big group of Frigates in the "safe lane" below the research station. I went there with all my Destroyers, since they cope so well with radiation.

HW2 is better than HW1 because you don't have stupid missions like the asteroid belt one. The rose-colored glasses of the 99' niche game fans feel their tedious gameplay removals are 'bugs'.

Homeworld 2 classic was kept alive by several different modding teams while Homeworld 1 wasn't. Vocal minority at its finest.

HW1 has a couple of problems... the asteroid mission for starters.

And the remastered version is problematic in the one where you have to stay in the Dust, which you cannot see anymore...

Yeah but those are minor inconveniences in an otherwise fun and interesting campaign.

The dust is much easier to see in sensor view. Didn't have any real problems with it - other than the radiation frying about 40 frigates when I thought 'Hey, they can get across that gap before blowing up, surely!'. If you want to harvest the resources while playing, load the resourcers and a repair corvette into your carriers, and have those travel to the resource field. Repair & harvest.

In addition, dock all your strike craft and corvettes. They are fodder here. If they even slip outside the dust cloud they explode into smithereens.

I scouted ahead with Proximity Seansors to check for safe passages, and had the rest of the fleet follow. Still, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying mission, the Gehnna Dust Clouds in HM2 are much easier to navigate.

Because it was a 1000 times easier to mod.

On my second (or was it third?) try on the mission I used destroyers, a carrier, and two gravwell generators. (The carrier for transporting repair, salvage corvettes, and optionally replacing the gravwell generators). Radiation became a non-issue, and the destroyers were quite capable of annihilating the fighters - when they were safely immobilized by the gravwell generators.

I suspect that is the best solution for that mission.
