• Best space trader/hero game?
    2 replies, posted
Looks, I know best *genre* game is a common thread but I just finished reading "Will Save the Galaxy For Food" and I want the *best* space hero game. Not some boring grindfest garbage like Elite: Dangerous. Something where I can do things. Escape Velocity: Nova style. Something with a real honest to God story where the player makes a difference. It has to be some sort of space game. I want to start with a small ship and trade up and up. Something with good writing. I've got a flight stick and a steam controller, so control issues aren't a problem to me. I want a game that gives me that Firefly feel. Currently playing: Rebel Galaxy (Fantastic but too simplistic in story) Elite: Dangerous (ugh, it's so boring and grindy despite the best UI I've ever used and fantastic immersion) Endless Sky (Escape Velocity: Nova but not quite finished and very uninspired ship designs) Escape Velocity: Nova (Perfect in every way except it doesn't bloody run properly on modern systems and I've played it so much I remember the story by heart)
You cant go wrong with Freelancer!
[QUOTE=MadBomber;52382093]You cant go wrong with Freelancer![/QUOTE] Oooh yes! Thank you for reminding me that I've been meaning to play Freelancer for absolutely ages. It just weirds me out that the control scheme doesn't use a joystick.
