this thread sucks, its like writing on a bands website "who likes this band"
95% of the people there will be there because of the answer to that question. the other 5 are there to see whether or not the band are any good.

therefore, on the grounds of being picky, i refuse to answer that question, you'll just have to assume

"change sides? i dont recal ever saying i was on yours"

bhaal why not when you go on a trip to somewhere you just buy it from the store. i mean if u understand the language and all. (no offense but just to show u, i only speak english, know how to count to 10 in spainish and know a little bit of french.)

I DO buy my games from a store when I take a trip. But now you are telling me to wait 9 months before I ever renew my game collection? Or what we don't take a trip this particular year (My O levels are coming up)? Are you saying I should not play ANY new game? Could you go 9 months without buying new games to play?

I used to hate weddings; all the Grandmas would poke me and say, "You're next sonny!" They stopped doing that when i started to do it to them at funerals.

I plan to be at Best Buy bright and early on Tuesday. I have a $15 gift certificate left over from Christmas. Freelancer for only $35... Not bad!

I am *NOT* buying this game....

"The die-hard space sim fans are wetting themselves over this game so they're not being shunned"

Really? I sorta figured owning every space sim I could get my hands on would qualify me as a die-hard space sim fan. Guess I was wrong. Heck, I remember first getting excited about this game when I read an article on it... right next to an article about another game in development by the same company... Starlancer... Then it sorta dropped completely off the map... and yes, after playing the demo, and discovering how the mouse combat works, I *do* feel shunned... and if heck people weren't feeling shunned, why would there be all the complaints about lack of joystick support? Is somebody that's never played a flight sim in his life gonna be upset that some game he probably has never heard of doesn't support a joystick? No, the only people that will be upset are those that A: Know about the game, and B: Like using joysticks in flight sims.

Now, from what I've seen, the die hard shooter fans are terribly excited about this game, but to me the combat scheme ends up being focused too much on offense, not enough on defense. Now, maybe successfully dodging enemy fire to wait for the best opening to take a target out isn't as much fun as simply blowing the crap out of everything that moves to most people, but that happens to be my cup of tea.

Offense is the best defense, if you're only defensive... you limit yourself.
'nuff said

ok bhaal your acting like i know ur damn personal yearly schedual......which i dont, if i did then i would be some kinda stalker/assassin, which i'm not, and if i was we wouldnt be having this conversation now, which we are.

Stop the personal attacks! This thread will get locked if it continues......let's just agree to disagree civilly (sp?) if we must but personal attacks over so minor and inconsequential a thing is completely and utterly pointless.

GnatB, I agree that maybe the developers should have put SOME sort of joystick support into the game to appease people that must use a joystick (even if limited). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling that these people would just go find something else to harp on if joystick support was implemented....like all the combat. Hmm, well I do remember Elite/Frontier/First Encounters having a lot of combat in it so I'm confused. It would be awfully boring if all you did was fly around empty space, right??

I think it will be a good game but naturally it won't be perfect. No game will ever be perfect, or have a complete realistic universe that would rival reality. To keep things in perspective, it's a GAME not real life. I'm not defending the developers in any way, but I am being just a little realistic here.

yeah srry, but its fun ya know? make a forum for it.

It wasn't a personal attack. It was a misunderstanding.
