I've placed my order, the graphics look amazing, hopefully be as good as the last one

Anyone else ordered it?
 
Yeah ive played it, awesome, much better than X2. :)

Gfx are much better than X2, and it runs pretty well on a low-end system, i was playing it fine on a 9700pro. :)
 
Not too sure about this one yet. I have always played Freelancer, and so I tried X2 a while back & hated it. So I will wait & see, my mate is getting this, so I'll take a look at his before purchasing it for my own ;)
 
My problem with X2 was the learning curve/cliff for the game and the tutorial was just about useless. It's put me off X3 but I'll wait for reaction to see if I'm going to buy it.
 
X3's had a major overhaul, i thought X2 was ok, thought the tutorials were good as they just took you through the basics, which was all you really needed i thought. :)

My problem with X2 was the stupid Khaak appearing in every system and killing my ships. Hope they give more freedom this time. Any idea about this LoadsaMoney? ;)
 
It was pre-ordered 3 months ago. :D

Loved X2... And had 1 Billion in the bank, saved for X3... Until my HDD died. :(

And if those are the GFX... I might need to buy a better card than the 6600GT, but we'll see.

This, and OGame. Lush. :D


EDIT - speeduk, have a Osprey in every system.
Khaak = Never in for more than a few mins.

Not much khaak - Centaurs.
Lots of khaak - Ospreys.

LOL - Yep... But not a little OTT? :p

M1's & 2's = Main fleet.
M6's = Sector defence.
M3's = In carriers.
M5's = Really quick trade runs.
M4's... If you have a spare bit of res...

And TS for large trade runs e.g. Silicon

You can never have enough firepower :p
 
I have x3 preordered and I agree with comment that the learning curve is too steep but if you stuck at it you would find x2 is a good game. I started playing it after a years break and there are a lot less random attacks by the kaak witn patch 1.4, also presidents end is much safeer. Infact I've got 1 m6 in there now protecting about 16 stations and it hardly ever gets attacked.
 
i have no idea what you guys are talking about, but it sounds like Ogame and i want in on it...

Maybe, maybe not, i read somewhere that space games arn't too graphics intensive because the background is just a solid black fill, so the power of the card can be used to draw the objects rather than waste space on background etc etc.

I would've thought a 6600GT would play it fairly comfortably.

X series. Kinda like Elite and hopefully X3 will be a classic game instead of just another pickup/play/sell.
 
Took me a few months to get into X2 (controls and what not) but loved it when I did.

Apparently they have completely revamped the interface etc for this, to make it easier for new players etc. So should top Freelancer, X2 hehe

Either way pre-ordered it ages ago. ;)
