So how's Freelancer?

Worth buying?

Some of my recent favorites:
Iwar2
Mafia
AoM
AoE2

Currently running XP1600+,256 PC2700 or 512+ PC133(whichever works best).

If not the game i'll just get another stick of PC2700.
But then id have nothing to play :(

The game is DAMN good :D

I love it man, and the single player IMO rocks too....

I enjoy the game, excellent graphics, good controlls, good gameplay.


My only complaint comes in that the combat is a little repetitive as are the missions if you dont feel like traiding. The main story line missions are Out of this world but the in between missons consit of 1) fly to point 2) kill bad guys 3) fly to next point 4) kill bad guys 5)sometimes tractor in an item or person most times not.

IMO it would have been much better if they had kept the freelancing part inbetween missions out al together.

Awesome game. I like the gameplay a lot. The story is nice as well, plus the game has excellent graphics and sound. However, I found the storyline a bit too short.. a shame that it wasn´t a bit longer. After you complete the missions with Jane, you´re on your own I think. But still, it was well worth the money.

It's a fun game, a fitting follow on to the WC Privateer games. My only complaint was that replay was a bit limited - After you have tried the very heavy fighters, gotten the good guns, etc... What's there to do?

If you liked IWar2, you should like Freelancer.

Great game! Just bought it the other day and I am now on the third part of Mission 3. I keep getting my butt handed to me though. Either I would get blown up or Walker get's his punk *** blown up.

Maybe I should buy a new ship. I'm still flying that Civilian StarFlier. :)

I actually havent even tried single player yet, I should check that out.

OK. I guess its the game now, ram latter.
Thanks.

I like PRIVATEER 2 better. Any 1 has a chance to play it?

actually from what I've read the game plays pretty well even on the minimum specs so I would imagine it'd play pretty good on yours...and did you try the demo?

W3rd, the game runs great even on older computers

Man, i bought a freighter real early and now im getting my *** kicked.
These guys dont let up do they?

OMW to london now with 30k to pick up my new ship.

I miss the feeling of flying you get with a joystick like in EOC2 and im just terrible with the keyboard.

Got all 5 bottons on my mouse programed. Are there mice with more than 5 buttons? :)

Freelancer was fun, but incredibly short. I won it in a week or so of part-time play, and I'm not particularly good at action games. Combat was really easy. Once the game is over, you actually can do some freelancing... but there's no further story to develop. You just bust people up and get bigger guns.

So it was cool, but I was disappointed that it was over in 15 hours.

Freelancer is the Morrowind of spaceflight games - except with less missions.

I imagine the multiplayer is more fun.

If you guys loved Free lancer i suggest you try out the masively multiplayer online game: from MS, "ASHERON'S CALL: DARK MAJESTY", it can be played only over the internet. and beats any such game to death. DOnt bother getting the AC2 its not half as good as 1... could be why there are over 11000 ppl playing AC1 and only 1000 to 2000 ppl playing AC2. Freelancer is derived based on concepts of AC in space.

there are 100s of sites dedicated to game... check them out also

That's right, space flying/economic sims lead naturally to massively multiplayer online rpgs.... :confused:

Rather odd, esp. as AC wasn't one of the better MMORPGs.

AC was not great at all but when they hit it with the Dark Majesty Patch it was and still is known to be the most played MMPORPG!

but dont take my word for it!

similarities: freelancer = AC
freelancer economic jump holes/ trade lanes,
Planets and cruisers = cities and moving vendors
Ships can be bought modified and armoed = House/cottage/vila/mansion can be bought weapons can be made/bought upgraded
trade with traders = trading AI bots, Trade with other players
travel accross planets and sytems = travel accross islands and hemispheres
etc..

HAHAHA, that's the weakest comparison I've ever seen!

Did you know Syria and Japan are practically the same country? They both have people! And those people BUY stuff! They also have roads where those people can get from one place to another!

Plus, Simcity and Grand Theft Auto: Vice Vity are basically the same game. I mean, there are CITIES in both of them, right? And you can spend money in Simcity... just like you can in Grand Theft Auto!

ok my bad i guess i am not good at explaining these.. but if you played both you would know what i mean

sorry, TeeTee, didn't mean to come off like a jerk, but i just thought it was really funny. I mean, you could describe any game along those terms!
