Demo is really neat

Demo is really neat

With all the "This game sucks" threads (I noticed most who have made those post mention the X games over and over. Are they fanboys?), I thought I would say how much I like the demo. Going into the Badlands for the first time was a real treat, as was finding the Junker base. The Bar missions are a little repetitive (still fun though), but in the full version when I can go to other systems, they will prolly be better since it won't always be pirates I am killing. I could care less about dynamic trading. It would be nice, but not that important IMO. The traffic is really neat, and listening to the traffic control and police talk to everybody is pretty immersive. Combat with the mouse is just fine. At first I thought he pilot AI sucked, then I fought some higher lv enemies and they where all over the place, making it hard for me to hit them. After that the AI didn't seem so bad (or maybe I just suck, who knows). The graphics are very pretty also. Sound is pretty good as well.

All in all, Freelancer owns j00, and you can bet I will be camping out at my local game store on the 3rd of March

Yep I agree. I love the demo. I beat it 3 times, played it for about 5 hours and now I am just trying the 3 ships out that you can buy and exploring most of NY. Its a shame there is all these negitive threads about FL so it is nice to see a postive one for a change

I'll keep that in mind Chad.
I agree, this game really does have a lot of good points. Like the communications between the ships and other nice details like that.

In a previous thread, Max Steele said that ships still have their cargo after aledgedly (sp?) delivering it. Granted, pointing out something like that is nitpicking, but dealing with it would add to the already amazing detail in FL. If DA does something about it, then that would be nice...but if they don't, it won't bother me cause it's not a big deal. So it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

BTW, I just wanted to say my part on that (since the thread was closed)...I don't want to start another argument. So please, no negative posts on this topic...I would appreciate that.
