Fine extension of the the Fallout ethos. I am especially encouraged by frequent updates and serious effort to eliminate bugs. Keep it up, guys!! Good value at the price.
I've played and participated in large JA mods and really enjoy being part of the JA mythos. WF6 has some intersting tweeks and looks to be a lot of fun, but I have just had my 8th or 10th crash and I am just now getting out of San Mona. I hope some gaming genius with nothing better to do will jump in and fix this... Fo now I have to give it 3 stars and move on. Windows 10, Dell Precision t3500 12GB GTX 1050TI
The key: RIDE THE BUS. Pickup local transport when you arrive so you don't have to clear the same roadblock 5 times. Player at a quick march I found that a pretty good story caught hold.
Does not live up to the first Privateer (or any of the real Wing Commander games). FMV on modern systems is a disaster (lines!) and requires beta patch from wcnews.com (look in /chatzone/threads/new-privateer-2-patch-adds-deinterlace-feature-makes-numerous-improvements-october-1-2013.27100/). Once this is installed the horrible lines resolve, FMV is viewable and play is smoother. Since foes capabilites improve as the ship is enhanced, combat gets tiresome. Story is not bad. Puzzled at the 5 star reviews - did we play the same game? I would have given 3 stars if the horrible lines problem was resolved in the GOG version.
Played this for years...GOG version is most current...allows you to download and play the many mods created for this - some are almost completely new games... see mods at http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/ .
