>Close this channel until further notice. The only sound i want to hear from the Sakala is her hull explosing

You just know that if this game was written like HW3, Rachel, Fleet Intel and the Sakala and Kapisi captains would be on a constant skype call for the next forty five minutes arguing, coping, crying and begging everyone to stop shooting each other because that makes us no better than the gaalsien

Homeworld DK put a lot of effort in chatters
There was a video showing it better but I can't recognize it

Well we both know what happened when they went back to space

Luv me some DoK

>>2170941 (OP)
could have been a great game if done correctly

>>2170941 (OP)
couldn't have been a bad game if done incorrectly

Homeworld DK definitely had a lot of good, but I really didn't like it's gameplay and missions much compared to homeworld.

Maybe I was just worse when I played Homeworld but I felt like I had to care about my composition, engagements and such a bit more. In DK it was fairly easy to blow through with a death blob or bomber spam.

>>2173083
It was.

there were some questionable missions and gameplay in homeworld 1
the "slowly move through the dust stealth tunnels" (unless I'm thinking of HW2)
the "scavenge everything to win"

Are you talking about the Hiigarans (HW) or Blackbird Interactive (HW3). Both were bad, but in completely different ways.

>>2173350
your parents copulating was a questionable mission

>>2173512
your birth was mission failed

AAAHHHHHHH

>>2173350
I dropped out in the scenario with the hundreds of ion frigates.

>>2173372
in Hiigarans' case, it was what we call character development

I hope when 2k finally sacks Pitchfucked that they also sack that whore Lin Joyce. May she step on legos for the rest of her Sajuuk-damned days.

>>2174474
>step on legos
never post on this website ever again

>>2174523
lego website, troon

>>2174474
they won't sack shit

>>2170941 (OP)
The thing is, there's tons of evidence that they actually WERE making a proper, classic Homeworld game and then some bitch was sent in who scrapped all of it and replaced it with the bullshit that we ended up getting.

It legitimately rustles my jimmies that there are people out there who can make what we want and would LIKE to give us what we want, but corpos keep intervening and saying "no, it needs to be a lesbian character drama."

>>2177141
Kharak is a proper Homeworld game

>>2177161
I'm talking about Homeworld 3

>>2177141
i played every homeworld game multiple times, hw1 is in my top5 goat. i love everything about the game and the story
and i will never play HW3.
i refuse to even pirate it. i will never not be mad

>>2177133
Blind as a bat, eh? Most publisher-owned studios are one flop away from layoffs, and two from total dismantlement.

Gearbox has had three high-profile flops these last two years. HW3, the messed up release of Seekers of the Storm dlc for ROR2 and Borderlands 4 .

>>2170941 (OP)
Still fucking better than the atrocity that is HW3.
Being assimilated by The Beast is a far better fate than to turn into what HW3 became.

>>2178201
I get borderlands 4 sold based purely on hype, has middling reviews, has fallen off pretty substantially in a month, and he mishandled every PR angle, but unless all of that translates to successful refunds it's not a flop from the corporate perspective as shitty as that is. And besides most gamers are battered wives that keep coming back time and time again regardless of what daddy corpo does to them.

>>2177141
They could have been trying to but it was fucked from the start without even touching the story. The controls alone made the demo unplayable. I even spent hours tweaking things to see if it was just a settings issue and reinstalled HW1 and 2 to see if I was gaslighting myself my misremembering how sleek the controls used to be. Nope it was shit from the ground up.
HW3's story could have been a greater opera than 1 and it still would have been a slog to get through.
