With remastered, Gearbox has gotten a lot of hate, and even more praise. I'll post this video which will explain a lot.ДЄdmittedly, the game has been patched a lot since then, and while I appreciate that they actually are putting effort into the game, their blatant laziness and disregard of the franchise is obvious, they released a steaming pile of shit, took the money and went 'trust us, we'll fix it'. In the original (1st game), there was no RNG, and there was formations and tactics. There are more bugs than the originals! Which were a little buggy to begin with! Someone accidentally mixed 'new paintjob' with 'put some glitter on the game, then smear shit on it'. The remastered versions? You'd think that an already created game, simply given a new coat of paint, would run better, right? More polish and spit? LAN has been ripped from the original homeworld, so now its internet connection and or get the fuck out. With modern graphics! Oh yes it'd look lovely! (Ironically, I find the remastered Homeworld 1 ships to be fugly.The original models, as simple as they were, didn't look like they were warped creations in pain.)ДЄnd its dogshit, just the type of thing modern gamers (Drones) love to consume. Homeworld 'Remastered', the games made to run on modern OS's! (nevermind that the originals work on modern OS's with some tinkering.Jeese) I won't get into the 'Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak' game, that was basically a homeworld themed game shoehorned into homeworld because Gearbox said they could.ДЇinally Gearbox, who bought the IP, speaks up! Then there is silence again.And fans await someone to actually put effort into the franchise.

The enemy force scaling, which was in Homeworld 1 to a minor degree (VERY MINOR), has been inflated to a stupid degree.Д®xpect enemies to have several times your unit cap in their biggest ships, which turns 5 minute missions into 40 minutes of spamming ships in hope they don't blow your mother ship to pieces before you can stop them. I won't get too much into homeworld 2, its a mediocre game at best, and a shitty one at worst. Your ships cannot hit a non-moving fighter because the dice tells them they can't.Д®ven balance went from 'minor asymetric forces' to 'both fleets are radically different', which resulted in serious imbalance and metas forming. The mechanics? Everything is decided by RNG. (A bit too.Generic though.The originals had this nice gritty simplistic look to them, at least for the Kushan fleet) Now, some time passes, and there is no sequel.ДЇans await, and finally its announced! Homeworld 2! I personally loved the game, it added a literal entire fleet of unique new units, a new antagonist which seems feesible in a sci-fi world (Before sci fi virus monsters were bland), and LOVELY voice acting.

Some didn't like the story, some didn't like the new mechanics, but the big fans of the original game, mostly rated it a 9/10, or just under the original's score. Some time passes, and its expansion, Cataclysm was released.Д¬ataclysm, what is basically a 'horror' RTS (amazingly it succeeds at this in many missions), was met with some mixed reviews. (Starcraft 1 was a fucking awesome game though.For its time) Its like comparing some mediocre IOS game to an AAA masterpiece. Notably, neither have a 3d world, or advanced tactics other than kiting and 'eco'.ДЇeaturing 3d ships, in a 3d world, with almost all the weapons being physical projectile shooting guns, with tactics as far as the eye can see.ДЇrom basic flanking, to hyperspacing in a frigate wall behind enemies, to using probes as kamikaze drones, there are simply too many ways to fight than I can list. RTS is dominated in games such as Command and Conquer, and Starcraft.Д«oth feature relatively simplistic unit models/sprites, have mostly 'histcan' weaponry, and overall are simple, abeit fun, games. Its late 1999, and gaming is still developing (Regressing).
