Troll Den

To celebrate my promotion to 1st Lieutenant and to pass a little bit of time waiting for the unlocked Demo, I have put together a newbie/troll template posting for all those 1st time posters for dirge..

"
Hi,
I just played the [demo/PR beta/Warez/Ripped off original/mindgame that is called Freelancer and have the following to say..

1. The controls are [great/crap/where's my joystick
2. There could've been more missions, like tribbles or something.
3. The enemy AI is easy, and I'm an expert at AI
4. What does AI mean by the way ?
5. Why can't I own more ships ?
6. It isn't as good as [Elite/Privateer/Privateer2/X-BtF/a good crap

Please don't flame me because I think your game is crap, even though I'm a complete luser who needs a good mail-bombing.

There you go, no need to type, just delete the bits that apply and Bob's your mothers' brother

Yeah the number of elite/Xtf fanboys coming over here and pissing all over Freelancer is funny.

Its like...p**** envy or something

by far my favorite post "type" goes something like this...

My review from stealing...er...acquiring...er...borrowing the Gold version from a buddy the lame game called Freelancer:

I've played this game for 15 seconds and I can tell you it is nothing but doggy doo. There are 35 other space sim type games out there that are all better. The maker of this game have failed on every single level anyone can come up with so don't even bother. Don't flame me because if you do I'll resort to a never ending barrage of ignoring you and restating my points over and over and over again. I've been lurking here for 10 years, just never posted b4 because I never had anything important to say until now.

I don't know why everytime someone posts something bad about Freelancer they get jumped on by everyone here. And by the way, the moderators on here are just drunk on their powers and have never said anything worth while in all the 10 years I've been here.

Chillum, you are pathetic...

Because people find faults in a game, and its not what they hoped for that makes them a Troll?
I think the reality is you are the king of a$$ kissing.

I imagine LOADS of people, like me expected soemthing very different by readin what was said.
It was supposed to be dynamic. In reality its very scripted. It has very little of the diversity of Elite, its hard not to compare.


If it was sold as a space shoot-em up with some trading ect in it then yes. But it was hyped up as something very dynamic and open for 'Freelancing' and opportuning. In those areas it fails to deliver...

I think I liked the nice and quiet forums better.

Why all of the sudden everyone who just plays the demo thinks that they are the king of the space-sim genre and know everything about everything?

I'm also confused as to why everyone who hates this game so much would take the time to come to the forums where most, if not all of us have been waiting and anticipating this game for so long just to bash it. Don't you have better things to do, like sit around and wait for Elite 4 (which will never come out) or perhaps attend afternoon kindergarten?

Just wondering what you would consider as dynamic and open ended SaberWhore? While I dont think the game is perfect I do feel it is dynamic and open ended. I also feel it will be a great game, as long as wasnt drasticly changed between pr beta and gold.

This is no way intended as a flame just was curiouse what makes you feel the way you do.

Kalad, its not really dynamic.

Theres no time date system, you wouldn't notice the dynamic nature of it in terms of how you interact. You could take on a mission, then go off jumping round the whole universe, and then go an do the mission nobody would even notice....

Trade prices dont fluctuate and change when events happen, and events dont really happen except the scripted few.
I mean you dont get famine in a system and then food prices go up. OR a warring factions have a abttle and weapons prices go up.

The jobs you get are all, go there and shoot X and/or tractor in something. I mean theres nothing hugely diverse about it.

The world is big and its a great start, but it does get very repetative , so unless you like simple shoot em up style gameplay you will likely get bored of the SP much quicker than you should.

I thought this would be something like Elite, but its nowhere near as dynamic or varied as teh Elite series was.

Its not a BAD game, its just not what I hoped it would be really. MAybe an addon pack will fix it.

I will buy the game because I have nothing else to play just now. But if there was an addon came out and it doesnt add some of the things I have mentioned, and instead adds more campaigns I wouldn't be interested in buying that.

I think its decent, but definately not a classic

SabreWhore meets ever criterea of being a "Troll"

Post Mon Feb 24, 2003 7:02 pm

And Dragoro only meets the criteria of being an a$$ ...

Post Mon Feb 24, 2003 7:06 pm

aww i hurt the poor little trolls feelings

Post Mon Feb 24, 2003 7:10 pm

I wouldnt mind a couple of your points being in the game, such as random events and fluctuating prices. These would definately make it more dynamic. I would point out tho i have failed missions as i strayed from the mission path a couple times. I would have liked to have seen the ability to get 4 or 5 missions at same time. I remember being able to do that in Privateer.. Hopefully the programers will see these points and maybe try to incorperate them. BUt i dont think we will ever see a 100% dynamic game.

I do apreciatew your sincere reply 8)

Both SW and D: Please stop that... What is the interest for you to visit these boards? Is there some reason that brings you two TOGETHER on this site?

I respect that people find the game not to their liking, and SW, we got you point. Please start on a different path now, thank you!

How many times do we have to point out the dynamic reputation system? Where are you getting this "not really dynamic" crap?
