even the personalised logo you could stick on your stations and ships. I also miss the Old Titan, and Old Phoenix, and the old Condor from X2. Like nemtioned before, the Internal Docking, Cockpits, Warp tunnels, X3 lacks a LARGE portion of its predeccessors atmosphere. X3 sure is beutifull, the new sectors sure are nice, the economy is much more interesting, but X3 lacks a lot of what made previous incarnations of the game so wonderfull and addictive. I can only hope TC is all, or at least most of what X3 could have been to start with. Regardless, I still love X3 in spite its short-comings. As far as I'm concerned, X3 was mostly downhill from X2 - with very few exceptions. This took most of the available resources, with the consequence of a lot of broken eggs which never made it into the release basket. Observe wrote:The way I look at it, is somewhere during early X3 development, someone decided to put all the Egosoft eggs in a new game-engine basket. Thanks egosoft for continuing to impress your fans and customers, and thanks to the others for hooking us on this genre in preparation of one of the greatest games of all time. Wing Commander, (long live the tigers claw)Īnd all the others I won't mention for fear of getting this thread locked for going to far off topic. Mechwarrior 1 - 4 + Mercenaries and the Mechcommander games On that note, I'd like to pay tribute to the following games/series: I do get urges to load Freelancer from time to time, it having been my favorite since the time of Wing Commander and Privateer, but I fear it'll only collect dust as part of my collection of ever outdated games. Some of the derelict ships made for an interesting mix, and almost crashing into a planet while in a cloud of dust gave it a unique feel along with the dark matter clouds.įunctionality and replay value are all better with X-Universe though. I like the idea of being able to completely fly around a planet, and the suns were part of the mix as well. I also liked the dynamic race relations system of it as well. Personally I prefer the way sectors are set up in Freelancer better.
