A salesman, nt, excited, yes. I found out about X2 on *this* forum when seeing if there would be a FL expansion pack. FL was my first intro in this genre having only playing RPG and strategy games (my favorite being Homeworld a space strategy game and hands down the best). I was impressed with FL until the story ended after 13 missions. All I can say, is X2 looks kewl and addresses a number of things I didn't care for in FL, I could list them all, but none seem to be unique after reading this forum.
With FL I couldn't wait for the release after playing the demo. But, if I would have known that every non story mission was, get fugitive-Hold off his cronies or go kill these ships-not done yet, goto the next waypoint, etc. missions, I wouldn't have purchased the game till it dropped sub $20 bucks. Hence, the excitement when I read about a soon to be released space shooter/rpg game that on the outside, truly seems open ended. But, as I said before, I am going off of beta reviews/interviews and the trailers.
*If it lives up to half of what they claim, its still twice what FL is(IMHO).*
