Freespace 2

As iiee said, this is now a dead gender, but it went out with a HUGE BANG! Proof of it is Freespace series. ?? Why are you reading this, get the game and play, omg XD

But what about the fact that there exist no real characters? Everyone's just called Alpha, and as such the protagonist's interaction with the world is bizarre and stilted. A squad that sticks by you, a sense of movement as you move from division and division, the fact that command is constantly pulling some suspicious sh*t never becomes a factor in the story, and Bosch the narrator and point of interest fades anticlimactically out of the story. Now I've also tried to make some excuses for the strange ending, it could be kind of a cool anticlimax if the preceding game had been suitably involving, but it wasn't. I felt cheated.

But i'm wondering why its for sale on here when its free?? scp .indiegames .us/

There's no doubt about it: lots of people really love this game. I had high expectations due to all the praise it receives, but I have to say I was disappointed. If, like me, you're looking for a space combat simulator, Freespace 2 is not for you. It is strictly arcade-mode. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you're into, but if you're looking for realism and depth, you'll be let down. If I judge Freespace 2 simply for what it is rather than what I wish it had been, it still comes up short, mainly because the controls are ridiculously over-complicated (possibly to mask the inherent simplicity of the gameplay) for an arcade point-and-shoot. There are dozens of different buttons to push for all sorts of trivial ship functions that should be and would be automated in an real starship. If you love spending hours acclimating to an unintuitive UI, you might enjoy that, but I didn't. Freespace 2 is, frankly, my most disappointing GoG purchase so far. I made it through about 10-12 missions, became completely bored -- not frustrated, not aggravated, not anything except bored -- and I haven't fired it up one time since.

not playe3d it will not launch
