Huh, I just realized:
20 Years of you waiting for the game.
20 Years the Khar-Sajuuk was lost in the anomaly.
The story was mirroring your life.
This campaign is WAY too short for a game this expensive.
Yeah, this is for sure a wannabe e-sport game with a small campaign tacked on. Sadly
You do know the original Homeworld game had a similar length for its Campaign right? Only three less missions then the Homeworld 1 Campaign and only two less missions then the HW2 campaign. Could it have an another mission or two added to the campaign of course, but apparently we are going to have future DLCs added to the game over the course of the next year. Shrug.
I tend to agree that it was too short. Too many games lean too heavily on Multiplayer/PvP to add value and don't create enough story/campaign IMO.
@robertdrexel2043 the missions in 1,2 also took significantly longer... it too me 6 hours to beat HW1 and almost 15 for HW2.... and I think I spent $20 on each 😂 a $60 game being ~1/4 the length while being 3x the price is a freaking joke...
Not to mention HW3 lost key features such as hard points, the importance of building up a fleet before each mission. Hijacking was critical in those campaigns and it felt slower and significantly more methodical. HW3 just feels like you're building a blob and just right clicking your way through missions and it's a war of attrition, but you'll never run out of resources... to me this game was a massive disappointment and I honestly wish I just called the campaign short to stay under the 2 hour mark so I could get a refund 😕
@@robertdrexel2043 homeworld 1 was significantly harder
An entire culture gets nuked and the thousands of survivors ask for help. I'ma take a few days off to chill, maybe then I'll worry about it.
They can't leave to help the survivors and they just went through a bunch of combat. They earned some leave.
They have been through hell several times the last...week?
Can we take a second to think and unwind before we take on the next life or death challenge?
@@christopherg2347 Any real military: "Okay, crisis is over. Let's get everyone some time off to recover. Rotate the crew through leave."
And the "minor" problem that they are stuck in the system until they get some creative genius to figure a way out.
>the three indestructible cores are sacrificed for jack shit basically
I didn’t grow up with the games but holy fuck I can feel the pain having to wait 20 years for that
@@seasons1745 The cores always cause issues, because someone tries to use them to unlock progenitor stuff.
Better to be rid of them.
13:00 to be fair Prav, it's been in the ice for 20 years. much as I find it hard to believe ice forming over that was natural, if it were....it wouldn't be that thick. and even then, the amount of force involved in getting a ship that big.....yeaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Another fun series would be Homeworld Cataclysm (Emergence)
A look back with a look forward
Wait, that was the whole campaign? Even though it was a great series, but that was surprisingly short.
Kinda glad i didn't shell out the 70 Euros to buy the game now, seing as i would have only bought it for the singleplayer campaign.
that campaign felt rly short
It really did
Compared to what? It's similar length to the other homeworld games.
@@strategicsage7694 HW1 had 16 missions, HW2 had 15, HW DoK had 13. How many does this one have?
@@HalNordmannSadly 5 missions. 2 and a half hours of gameplay, that is minimum at best. Longer in higher difficulties. 💀💀💀 Most content is from DLC, and War Games and MP side with mod support.
@@HalNordmann 13, same as DoK.
Barber's adagio for sound track- perfect
That was a great story and the 3D environments have had massive improvements over the previous 2 games
That was a nice campaign Parvus, thank you!!
Amazing series!
Love it !!! thank you!!!
Why did Karan go with? To make sure the Queen WENT. In the end, she went willingly. They preferred to ensure victory.
Sure, it's not like they have two motherships with nuke and laser cannon and a whole fleet and could blasted the whole factory and the Queen to smithereens or anything
@@user-ti1xu1jm6c Against an explicitly overwhelming enemy fleet, whose Queen can GTFO when she wants, they needed a strategem that stopped her leaving when actually threatened. A trick or a trap.
It's not like they said that in the story or anything.
Praise Pravus
I'm confused: No cores of any kind? Didn't they just use the cores from the Sajuuk? Shouldn't Imogens ship (Kujan?) still have its cores?
By the talk at the climax, it seems she fried her synth cores to trigger the destruction of both the temple and the Sajuuk cores.
thanks
Please fire whichever martian did the facial animations for this game, along with the werewolf that wrote this dialogue.
ooh cool game
Whaaaaaaat our beloved Emperor Pravus loves betrayal????
never expected to be this early
Lol, mothership was lost in plain site
Setting it up to sell you more content that should have been in the game to begin with.
Im curious, what was the actual play time on the campaign? Given the cuts etc its impossible to tell
I want to see some skirmish videos for this game.
What, so short.
20 years for this?
I know how hard it is to develop such a great game. Not gonna lie though , the looks and graphics are amazing but the story could have been better. It raises several questions without answers, and short but decent nonetheless. Again, I know it's hard to develop such a great game, but wished it to be longer and better
From concept art it’s clear there’s a bunch of cut content. Blame gearbox’s head of narrative
I thought the cores were placed in the Sajuuk in the second game??
they were.
I assume they got re transferred back to the mothership that got lost 20 years ago.
But HW3 seems to have many plot holes....or at least retcons.
@@TheSuperColonel many retcons. The purpose of transferring the cores to Sajuuk was to open new warp paths etc.. rather odd really
@@callummoulstone5233 Well they did. That's what the huge gates you use throughout HW3 are for, those are the Progenitor Gate Network you open at the end of HW2. In HW3, the Khaar-Sajuuk has the trio of original progenitor cores because they didn't need to *remain* after unlocking the gate network, so they got used for a new model of mothership to investigate The Anomaly. Then when that went missing, Imogen created the Synth Cores.
Yes, I thought the main story campaign was too short. And not just by a bit.
HW1 was rich in family lines and backstory that was never really developed. You could actually write many dlcs just from the backstories.
HW2 continues with the Sejuk bloodline but since the homeworld got destroyed that was somewhat eliminated. We spent most of the game jumping around and interacting with many different species and in the end formed some what of a galactic council. This gave the feeling of a large game.
HW3 pretty much scrapped the galactic council background by sending us off on a mission to find Karan and defeat the anamoly. I am guessing that further dlcs would be forming another rescue mission to bring extra cores to bring any survivors back?? Perhaps the navigators would be one of Imogens prodigy.
Finally, no, I don't think the story was woke of any kind. The Sejuk bloodline was established as a navigator gene. Females are obviously favored as it doesn't involve any physical constraints. The technology and battle aspects was never really the focal point of HW so even the Intel and strategy aspects of leading a wing or battle plans for it's male counterparts never became a major plot character. We don't even know "Intel's" name. Lol.
We do know Intel's name. It's used several times in the cinematics. He's from the same intelligence Kiith as most other command officers, his name being Isaac Paktu
@@GriffinMan00 then why are people saying it was a woke story line?
@@jihyotwice3159 Because people are mad stupid these days. People want to call everything 'woke' whenever they dislike something about it
I wondered what could be next in Homeworld. A new enemy, some sort of mix of The Beast and Tyrandis. A spacefaring hordes of astral monsters, asmilating all life, resurecting them, and using them for conquest. With many melee/battering ram-like ships as their backbone. I would imagine them as the invaders from the other galaxy, form which potentialy the Naggarok could escape.
Seems like they could of made a better campagne. why invest in sponsors before they even had a decent campagne for people to truly feel like their money is worth the spending
The game looks nice GFX is nice. The backgrounds are nice.
The campaign is shorter and the game is full-priced, unlike others in the series.
Less ship types than others in the series.
Somehow worse ship AI than HW1 from 25 years ago.
The cover system added to HW3 can add tactical options if ship AI works.
Time to kill is less so the game is faster-paced.
Most tactical options are removed from previous entries.
HW3 has strong vs everything ships......Previous heavy ships(destroyer and up) were slow ass including turning and could be engine disabled, or in some cases partial weapon disabled.
Missing tactical options from previous entries.
Eg. Cloack detection, hyperspacing short distances at the cost of RU, blocking hyperspace, using dust clouds to conceal ships, EMP ships, killing sub-systems to disable engines or halt production, and weapons of bigger ships, multiple probe types.
The game has ballistic but no ship collision including Kamikaze from HW1.
HW3 has directional armor just like HW1 did.
Worse fighter AI so they dodge fire less than in previous games.
HW3 you can produce everything at once so much faster paced to replace losses.
Many tactical micro-heavy units were removed like defensive field frigates or drone frigates.
The campaign barely has any outside races.
For some reason, every mission has forced hyperspace beyond the player's control.
In HW1 most missions allowed manual hyperspace once the primary objectives were done(even if enemies were alive) so you could regather the fleet, heal gather RUs.
HW2 had auto resource harvest in most missions after auto hyperspace.
Overall I see this as a heavily discounted sale after you played the HW remasters.
Was this short (and confusing) campaign really what people where waiting for for 20 years? And paid 60 bucks for? I liked the series, but I am not impressed by the game. Or is the second part of the campaign coming later?
Was really good though it was a lot shorter than the other games tho
You rushed that campaign as much as the devs rushed their game, congrats ! ^^
More seriously, I understand why people are disappointed with the game.
Aaaaaaa
Feels like a couple of missions have been cut. (not you, the devs/publisher)
Campaign is very cool, BUT WAY too short for a game this price....
Ufff, good graphics but short story and almost the same as HM 2.
Day:32 of asking pravus to play equestria at war hoi4 mod again.❤
Day 32 of that never happening
I actually like the story of this game overall. however, based on the religious themes that it derives from, it makes no sense that Karan would share oblivion with the literal queen of chaos. Perhaps the writers felt that they needed to move beyond Karan S''jet to let imogen shine but it really hurts the plot design the games have been pushing forward. Karan is kind of the messianic figure of these games that ushered in the millenium of peace and prosperity. Honestly this game shpuld have taken place nearly a thousand years after the 2nd game. It would have made even more sense. Unbound are immortal after all.
Disappointing.
I played Homeworld games primarily for the campaign, multiple times with different tactics. This is not it. I am turning 45 this year, I can wait for a worthy successor, like Homeworld: Cataclysm was, for a while longer.
Than you for the playthrough.
The story is good but it felt very rushed and underdeveloped with a way smaller campaign than it should be.
And to be honest it also felt very handholdy with all the "oh look chokepoints, you must build the thing here".
Almost like a demo short story to introduce the "real game" that is the multiplayer, sad to see really.
That was sine F-tier netflish garbage show level writing.
Story was kinda…eh?
I thought this game wore the skin of Homeworld while it assaulted the flayed lifeless corpse of the franchise. Such a disappointment. Imogen S'Chin......Why is a space opera all about 3 space Karens?
The power of friendship ahh game. Developer must have been hit with a DEI team that forced a female-centric story line that had to end in this stupid way.
I really really like Homeworld series, but this campaign looks too short and badly written, i expected a lot more.
The writing I would say not very organic in terms of interaction. 3 parts and the story is already done is just too fast but not strange compared to other homeworld. It has that woman power fantasy, Merry Sue and a condescending tone that is just a cliche at this point.
WTF. Your average mobile game has a better plot than this.
If you're looking for a Homeworld style game, look some cinematics of Infinite Lagrange. A literal mobile game beats this crap.
Im ny opinion game is an utter turd. I think it wears the skin of home world while buggering its still twitching corpse. DO NOT BUY
when you try to write a "woke" story :v i'm sorry the whole point of homeworld IS the story and 20 years of waiting to get this "WoKe" crap ??? HW3 story makes HW2 story looks like a master piece :v at least HW2 don't recycle HW1 moments :v
What exactly was woke about this? If it's that Imogen is a woman and the main character you must have forgotten that all Navigators in Homeworld are women.
Please, feel free to describe what woke has to do with this game.
Nothing woke about the story. There are completely different issues. But "woke" isn't one of them.
@@Unthinkable92he’s not going to reply lol
for me is that imogen, kara and the icequeen are ugly as f...., the black dude looks great but the ladies not so much, you know why? because u cant have beautiful female protagonist today, thats sexist and that's what I feel is woke about the game
@@DaemonKeido
@@marcosbasano So the thing that makes this woke is the fact the women don't fall in line with your personal taste in women you want to sit on your face? That sounds like a you problem, and has nothing to do with woke. I would bet quite a substantial amount of money that I could find just as many women who would look at you and say "ew" before you ever opened your mouth.
The others who were patient enough to wait to see what you'd say were likely even more disappointed.
