|
 |
Yo.
So im bored again, even with all the new games out im all itchy. Played through B&W2, BIA, AOE3 and ive been playing Morrowind again but now im burned out on those games. So i started playing a little Frontier: Elite II (free to download now btw, clicky) and i was wondering if there are any similar new games out? Non-online trade/pirate-space-sim that is

I think that most modern games are just mindless visuals.. Look great but absolutely mindless. Deus Ex, where are you..

Freelancer was one of the most underrated games I've ever played.

Hm ok so now i beat freelancer in singleplayer and ive been playing a couple of hours worth of multiplayer with some mods. Got kinda boring after you discovered the best traderoutes and drove around in a battleship half the size of some planets.
Got X2 now though, i cant understand how i missed the release of this. Anyhow i've just started it and well.. it seems a bit daft. And from reviews and forums i understand that the learning curve is quite steep and the first couple of hours wont be filled with action. But i kind of want to get a little headstart since X3 is being released soon so my question (to the ones who has played X2). Is it worth it? Does it get fun etc?

another space game for you would be Tychon : the frige {with the Bruce Campbell voice casting} ,
and hmmm another one would be Battlle Cruiser 3000 is free now get it HERE |
Ah yeah, BC3000 rocked back in the day. But isnt that like ten years old now?
Played Tachyon as well, gotta love Bruce
Gonna try to give X2 an honest shot even though i hate that you cant remap the keys and i dont really enjoy the combatsystem.

You might want to try "Space Rangers"
Can't comment about it my self but there is a a very favorable review (9/10) here:
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=61014
And it looks like it could hit your crave for freeform space exploration/travel/trade game.

My favorite thing about X2 was the built-in multimonitor support it had. Being able to send other camera views to the second display was great. Really wish more games would make use of that...

Looks good, but.. No crack available? I only found a cracked version of Evochron (ie Evochron Alliance's predecessor). Are the two games much different from each other in terms of gameplay, graphics etc?

Theres a good space exploration game called EV: Nova, it was a Mac game that they finally decided to port over, heres the link to it
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/
The cool thing is all the mods they made for it, when you buy the latest game you can convert it with mods too all their previous games and play through them as well.

Hey what D4rkKnight said ! You really have to try EVN because it's Frontier style in the most kind of way.

seen any must have plugin packs or anything? Or should I just go to their homepage and start downloading all of it  |
The ones I mentioned for converting EVN to EV Classic and EV override are under the newest essentials window, click view more, and they are near the bottom. I would check out all those essential mods as well, mostly fixes for storyline issues.
As for other mods, click view more on highest ranked mods and it will give you a short description of all of them. I havnt played it in months so I cant say whats good now, but they give a good idea of what to expect under that view more menu.
Also theres a program that converts the mac mods to windows files, called convert.exe, not sure if it comes with the game because I couldnt find it on the site, but i have it in my EV:Nova directory so I assume it does.

X3 is the closest thing to frontier, of the games i have played that is.
A new Frontier game is on its way (elite 4) but i doubt we will see it the next coupple of years
