playing Freelancer again

Tue Nov 11, 2003 8:32 am by Imagine

after a long time, and taking a second look. It's not really that bad a game, come to think of it. It is actually quite good. I have to admit that I had to get over my newbie FL bashing tendencies: "it didn't live up to expectations" and "no joystick support" and "microsoft messed the whole thing up," but I look at it as a total from a more mature perspective and realize it still rocks. An huge universe, cool ships and weapons, and complete freedom. Now I remember why I bought this thing.

Yeah, totaly Imagine!
This is a great game, don't let anybody from Egosoft or anywhere else tell you different.
To this day it's the only game I spend so much hours on.

I'd say Freelancer Forever!

The multitude of play combinations FL offers is unlike any other game in the market. Since its release FL is the game I spent most of video gaming hours. I still play Mechwarrior and assorted flight simulators, but FL's game engine is far superior to the others. There are more missions and the open-ended universe concept allows the player many game scenarios.

One more thing, no fees for persistent-universe multiplayer.
No other space sim on the market that does that.

The only game I've played more than Freelancer is X-Wing Alliance, and Freelancer is rapidly catching up.

@Imagine, you always show wisdom in your posts. I have never thought of you as a newbie, I am pleased you are finding new appreciation with Freelancer. If only my system worked right, I would join you in that appreciation.

BTW, can I use you as a scorekeeper in my new play?
