worse than q4?

Post by **Foo** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 1:25 am

Christ yes.

The voice acting is the killer. It has to be deliberately bad.

q4 was indeed a disappointment.

As long as you ignore the plot, the space sim bit is fun. But yeah, the character animations look like they were done by Kracus.

i got the demo to see what the flight physics/shooting stuff element was like and didn't think much of it.

the lad who asked me to try the demo has got the x3 beta. looks lovely but plays like more of the same. i want someone to bring out a decent multiplayer space shooter, sp just isn't where it's at.

What about the voice acting?

You're prolly right about the space sim stuff. I couldn't get past the rest sadly.

I tried, got bored, and never played it again.
It's definitely no Freespace

I am waiting for the game that lets you fly around space, pirating trading etc and then you land on planets and can actually walk around them and do shit.

Like Star Wars Galaxies but single player and good.

/me has a sudden urge to play freelancer again..

been trying to play that freespace2 thing. it's a lot of fun but these open-source revival type projects would be a lot more popular if you didn't have to fuck around so much to get into them.

if only freelancer had more replay value

I beat it 4 times anyway, it's so fucking good.

I could do with another strike commander as well

/hell I'd play the original if I still had it and had a computer with DOS installed
