I just took X2 back to the store for a refund.
The game sucked. It just sucked.
The cut scenes were HORRENDOUS. Not only was the FPS a big problem for me, and many, many, many, many others with TOP end systems, but the models were so horrible that it ruined all sense of immersion.
I never appreciated owning FreeLancer before.
And to make it worse.. the general public has no idea that there are mountains of problems with X2.. not just glitches, but a crappy 3d engine itself. There hasnt been a peep out of the developers concerning a fix or a patch for this, and many players are upset (LIKE ME.). If you have a look at egosoft's forum page, youll notice that you can only have access to the TECH SUPPORT threads when you register an account. An account can only be registered if you purchase the game.
Thats right. The public remains unaware that X2 is a dog of a game, because egosoft cleverly stashes its evidence behind a forum that only game-owners can read.
SECONDLY. X2 the threat INSTALLS SPYWARE. Its in the form of a "copy protection driver." It mines the system of yours and reports to egosoft when you login. They claim that this whole rig is setup to provide customers with personal support solutions.. but they don't give a care about their customers one bit.. they remain silent amidst the cries of the public for a 1.3 patch to correct the piece of s**t 3d engine.
That and the game has a learning curve of about 24 hours.
Be happy you have freelancer, its great. You can immerse yourself in a world of exploration and trading in one of the smoothest 3d engines ever created for space games. X2's engine is like a slide projector.. and only yields about 30fps at 1024x768 during intense fighting scenes on a 3.0 ghz, 256mb Nvidia and 1gb RAM.
BAH.
