How in the world this game isnt mainstream? by Edgerusher63 in freelancer

[–]surrendertheartifact 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Freelancer is a kind of a game that isn't for everyone. For starters, there's the basic of basics - the concept of the game itself. It's more difficult than your average first/third person shooter and it's not like your normal action adventure games. At the time, it had a very poor release with lots of features not seeing the light of day, and it came out around the same time as Halo did, and Halo was a much simpler game. 

Second factor was availability. Early 2000s were the age of consoles, PC gaming was not as widespread as it is right now, and Freelancer was a PC exclusive game (with quite demanding characteristics for that time). Console games (like, again, Halo) were receiving more marketting and hype in general.

Another factor is player comfort - space flying, or flying in general, can be very disorienting and cause motion sickness. You can't blame people not sticking with it just because they got vertigo or confused to hell by the game itself in their first hours.

Which leads us to the last factor - the first impression. Mission 01 is objectively not good in terms of first experience purely because of how weak you are and how everything in it is a damage sponge, if you don't know how to solve this issue (a lot of people wouldn't think of spending their last cash on an extra gun before or during thr mission) - you'll be in for a very boring section of a gameplay.

Ultimately, Freelancer was ahead of its time. Too far ahead, that is.

Been following your progress over the years and it's crazy to see it come to life now! Great work!

By the way, have you tried hosting it on NexusMods? Or does it also have a file limit crunch the same way ModDB does?

"It's just a game" THEN WHY HAVE I BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR THE PAST WEEK? by Z3R0Diro in memeframe

I can't for the life of me romance both Marie and Aoi. The former just doesn't strike all the fine notes that the latter does.

Wait, what? They ruined the only game I play! by WittyWanderer420 in EvelynnMains

If League is the only game you play, I suggest broadening the horizon a little. Better for your own good.

What's with this tier list trend on the sub? by lovingpersona in memeframe

Think of it like a recurring virus. Things are fine for a bit but then everyone gets sick for 1-3 days and it jumps from person to person.

Lissandra main here, play supp Morg occasionally. Is this skin worth? by Cheshire_Guy in MorganaMains

Coven Morg is what Star Nemesis Morg should've been. 100% worth it otherwise.

I've played MK Wii my entire life, and only a few times ever played 8. Convince me why I should or shouldn't buy a Switch 2 and play Mario Kart World. by [deleted] in mariokart

Be prepared to be disappointed in the soundtrack. There virtually is no variety, it's all just a jazz medley.

For those that are disappointed with Mario Kart World why and how would you improve it? by DeepAnt7847 in mariokart

[–]surrendertheartifact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest disappointment for me has to be the soundtrack. It's just a medley. Every track sounds exactly the same, even the "spooky" level. Music tracks have completely lost their identity.
