Eating my words: Freelancer! An awesome Microsoft Game!

Well, ok. A lot of you know I hate Microsoft with a passion and I've said time and time again that their products and everything about them sucks. Well...uh....eh, today I had to eat those words, and eat them hard. I just got my hands on Freelancer, and OMFG! Dude, this game is so f'ing awesome! Man, I am seriously impressed with this game. To date I haven't been impressed with a single product (more like repulsed) they have to date, save for a few games that briefly peaked my interest but quickly grew old on me. This one is most definately the exception! It is just roxor awesome! Awesome gameplay, good graphics, good story. Voice acting could be better and it's got one small glitch with the sound, but heck. If that's all that's wrong with it, who cares? 😀

Linky to the game homepage for those interested in the game. Demo can be downloaded from the 2nd page.

And for those interested, yes, I ate my words with a side of ranch. 😀
 
I have been excited about this game since Chris Roberts left Origin and became Digital Anvil. I remember him pimping Freelancer during the development of Starlancer many years ago. Finally the game is finished. I have played the demo until it kicks you out at level 2 or if you get too much cash. Graphics are a little dated and bland however the game play has hooked me like Privateer did back in the early nineties.
 
Mmm...eve looks badass...and i'm definately going to be checking out Freelancer. Wow....with Unreal 2, Splinter Cell, Sim City 4 and these two games...PC gaming is DEFINATELY looking up.
 
Alright, alright. I'll download it already! 😀

There was another thread about this game a couple of days ago, but it didn't convince me enough to bother with downloading the game. But your overwhelming ecstasy has persuaded me to give a whirl.

Is is anything like Descent: Freespace? If it is, then I'll love it. I played the hell out of that game and it's expansion a few years ago when it came out.

You understand, of course, that MS didn't develop the game?

Oh! Is that why the game doesn't suck? 😀

Hmm, I should have known. Oh well. Back to my bloodthirsty hate of MS. :Q😀😛😎

Games have a publisher and a developer, much like how Stephen King doesn't print his books in bis basement. The developer, uh, develops it and the publisher presses the discs, prints the manual and box, advertises it, and ships it to retail. 99 times out of 100 the big name on the box is the publisher. Some developers used to be big enough to publish their own games, but it's too expensive today. Freelancer was developed by Digital Anvil.
 
This game is too scary for me...



...I'll just stick to my commodore 64 and play my game of M.U.L.E.
