I played HW 1 and 2 a lot. The UI is pretty easy to get used to, but yeah your brain has to remember there's a third dimension you can use. It's not a huge consideration usually though. You can get used to thinking of it as 2+1 dimensions pretty quickly though. In many terrestrial RTS games for years, we've had line of sight and terrain obstruction. Get on top of a hill, get line of sight. Emplace an infantry unit in a tall building, get line of sight. Send a flanking element through a low valley, obstruct line of sight. Etc. You can think of it the same way here, but in space. With the HW space setting, the 3rd dimension doesn't really need to enter into it unless you have asteroids, artifacts, etc space obstacles -- and even there you can often just go around them on a 2D plane. You can still mostly play as if it's 2D, then go up over or down under obstacles occasionally when a mission layout rubs your face in it. That's pretty much how I played HW 1 and 2 mostly. :D When it's purely empty space, there's not much point to fiddling with the 3rd dimension b/c HW's tactical depth doesn't really reward you more for a 3-dimensional flanking maneuver from 3 directions than for a 2-dimensional flanking maneuver from 2 or more directions on a single 2D plane.
@@dakaodo there is a very niche situation where if you flank an enemy from the Z-axis, you can hit them "broadside" and land much more damage than usual. If I remember right, back in HW2 you could make ships do short jumps as well, so dropping a group of ion beam frigates above an enemy carrier was insanely strong due to them just being able to hit the flat side. Same withe missile destroyers, i think. more missiles hit = more damage done.
@@TPixelAdventuresnot only that, you are encouraged to take advantage of the Z axis because of one thing. The game might be in full 3d but all ships cannot spin in the Z axis, so you can do a ww2 bombing ambush and target their turrets that are busy attacking your chunker fleet in the X/Y axis.
Hope you read this your videos help me sleep your voice, tone, and frame of mind are brilliant. I've gone through many RUclips accounts never had the time or money to truly support you the way I want to.... Keep up the great work much love from Texas
In space, if I remember correctly their is 0.000001 part air per light year, not enough air to make sound any sound you hear would be from the air in the ship or suit
There's this interesting thing called Google. And if you type in the title of this game, it will conveniently let you know that it exists on Steam. I know, hard to believe such a miracle website exists, but it helps prevent stupid comments like this yours being made
Gearbox added EOS to Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak Years after Launch to the Steam Version. As much as i heard about it, gearbox did so with many of their Games recently. And based on that i assume that the Steam Version will either require an Epic Account or atleast Install EOS aka Epic Online Services on your PC and make use of it. And i dont want that Shit. Funnylie enough, i just removed that crap (EOS) after Homeworld Deserts of Kharak installed it onto my PC and the Game still works just fine without it. Seems like its just tacked on the Game and not required for anything, well, maybe Multiplayer, but never played Multiplayer in any Homeworld Game.
OMG why did they cram the vaguely-Star Wars looking crap everywhere??? It looks sooo boring, staring into the star destroyer's ass all the time... I'd much more love seeing planets, nebulae, stars in the distance, gas clouds, stuff like that...
🎨I thought they did a pretty reasonable job of mixing up the battlefields with planets, space-rocks, space-ice, etc. The one thing that seems weird to me is just how _huge_ all of the wrecked ships and stations are. In previous games, I thought they were all a lot closer to the size of your carrier (or mothership; they're both similar in size), since the story was about the endless conflict between motherships which churned out fleets to battle. (For example, at 15:33 the thing on the left of the screen seems like the shape of a mothership or an alien equivalent of a mothership from a previous game. But it's like, 20x the size of you.) But maybe I'm just mis-remembering everything... 🤔
@@AileTheAlien was originally supposed to have all the wrecked progenitor super-x10 dreadnaughts and mega structures but the limitations of hardware in the 90s forced them to keep the maps empty. Honestly it’s something I like but I do want more variants and ‘biome’ diversity for the game so the sense of “holy shit these guys built huge” remains more novel.
I'm not hating on AA, bro. I just want to be able to hear his video lol. It's honest feedback. Plus, pretty sure comments also drive reach aswell, so this isn't hurting the man's channel.
My RTS brain only works in 2D, this will probably be more fun for me to watch rather than play.

Would love more vods like this!
Karen is sad about resource controllers...
Price tag does look outrageous.

Looks nice.
But sadly will avoid it.
I dont like Epic and their crap Launcher and EOS.
If the Epic stuff gets removed i will look into it once more.

That so funny I watched the cinematic and the space Karen is like a real Karen I don't like the story
Space Karen on tumb, I'm watching full
oops audio super low
AA Pls Fix!!
You know, I got StarCraft Risk. Easier to get into, but it is Risk, so you are liable to lose friends anyway.
You are my favorite content creator. Which is what I say to every content creator. That's my favorite. haha
I pre-ordered the collectors edition so I'm looking forward to playing more now that I've seen your gameplay lmao
New Stellaris DLC Soon?
Changed the title, you tricked me!
oh my quiet

Yay! More!
Wow it's Mr. Hanky!
Disliked for really quiet sound. I'll change to a like if it ever gets fixed.
Turn it up don't dislike the video if you like the guy you pleb
disliked this comment for no reason. i refuse to ever change it to a like

Mans expects a prominent RUclipsr to cater to them and re-upload just so they don't have to fuck with their volume control
@@Gibblets411 i wasnt hating on you, i said it was for no reason.
didnt you play that one already before?
