Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 13, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

As mentioned very recently, Homeworld 3.

It's a space game no wait it's a woke manifesto no wait it's one writer's crusade to normalize foot and giantess fetishes no wait it's a gooddamn cash crop and nobody cares what's inside because everyone bought it for the name only.

It's playable, by all means, but the gameplay is so bitch basic it might as well not be there and the writing is so damn bad it's bad just bad.

Not sure if that fits your criteria, but man, do I hate HW3.

The strange thing is that Blackbird had some generally competent releases before hw3, like Shipbreakers. Although maybe that was one guy's core gameplay demo with a crapload of garbage writing added later in production, with the story being the final turd dropped on release.

It really does seem like most issues with modern games come from the writing committee taking over, suffocating the "a decent gameplay concept one guy hammered out over a weekend" that's at the core of most good games.
