Okay, much fewer bugs this time around. Probably because they didn't have to redo nearly as much for this campaign. Mostly just texture work.
I always thought Homeworld 2 was the weakest of the trilogy. It's still a great game, but the story gets all mystical and weird. The pacing in the campaign is also pretty damn brutal. There's about 5 missions in a row where you have to keep fighting off enemies until the moment the mission ends, then you are thrown into the next mission immediately and enemies fly in without a chance to rebuild your fleet, or even pause for a breath.
Aside from the pacing issues, resources were not balanced at all throughout the campaign. By mission 5, you have more money than you would ever spend since you have a cap on how many of each type of ship you can build. Since the game gives you all unharvested resources at the end of each mission too, you don't even have to have your collectors...collect. I had all twenty resource collectors do nothing but heal my ships. It felt like I was playing with a money cheat or something.
Still a great game. Still super difficult. Still great to play through again with the new visuals.
