Freespace 2

[Guest hindot]

To all u who have played the epic, best scripted space combat game ever made, what did u like about the game? Did u enjoy the mission editor? Wished for a sequel? Better multiplayer?

The game owns. 'Nuff said. But I really wish the AI would shake the annoying habit of kicking a man while he's down....

Yep, I enjoyed FS2 immensely. Too bad it didn't do well at retail though. *sigh*

I do enjoy it too. The graphics are more than impressive, the bug guns are very cool, but the game lack gameplay, capital ship driving and don't have enough ship types.

Ya know why? Because they sold the game on a DVD when DVDs were still a new thing.

My friend bought the game when he had a trip at New york. it comes on 3 CDs...!

Uh.. you sure? I think there was a DVD version of the game released, but it sure as hell wasn't any kind of exclusive thing.. the copy sitting right next to me is 100% pure CD

Aye, 3 CDs to it, understandable considering the movies though.

Maybe it would have sold better if it had a little yellow Pikachu like critter on the front of the box.

Too true, too true.

Seriously though, I think the reason it didn't sell well was because Interplay mad a complete bollocks of the marketing. Then they went and screwed over the entire FS community by retaining the FS rights when Volition went to THQ. Couldn't say I was totally upset when I heard that Interplay got bought out themselves.

I got FS and FS2 about the same time and was completely hooked for weeks. XWA didn't seem the same after that.........

I like the story and graphics too. Especially good is that you don't have to win every mission, you can't even. I think that adds quite some "realism" (not to forget the anti-spacecraft gun, navigation in nebulas etc.). I still play it from time to time.

Didn't use the mission editor myself but I played some of those made by other player but of course they are not like the "real thing".
