Re: X2 the Threat doesn\'t trust you
Wow. Thats pretty resounding and final.
Maybe read my post before throwing a fit?
so they locked their support forum, maybe they have something to hide, maybe it was just filling up with trolls. who cares.
go to their GENERAL forum
http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
or their SPOILER forum
http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewforum.php?f=10
and ASK if you have any questions - or just read whats already there. The patch news, descriptions, and history is all in the general forum. plenty of people are discussing graphic card differences and things there, as well as game play aspects.
Im not defending them or anything, since i have not played the game. maybe they DO have dark secrets to hide. but you should probably investigate a bit further before resorting to blind panic, liable, and tantrums.

To this I answered "NO".
As I wrote, a few month ago I posted a question in the support forum, but it is now closed to unregistred people.
As for the "who cares", I do. I like these sort of games, but I am in no way about to throw my cash with the blind faith it will be playable. Which was not an obvious reality previously.
You really should read my Posts before posting, that would help your answer.

A hippie motto was "Don't walk on the grass, smoke it". You should try the reverse.

Re: X2 the Threat doesn\'t trust you
Aren't there, like, any REVIEWS or anything? They can't make customers sign an NDA...

Re: X2 the Threat doesn\'t trust you

Hi People,
Do you remember a post about that game in this forum ? I discovered it a few months ago when an egosoft developer wrote a post here about it.
So, when the game went out, I headed to their forums, as I learned long ago to never trust reviews. To get an advice on a game, I lurk on a game's forums, reading infos about the game's behavior. Think MOO3 or Deus Ex2 to see my meaning.
In fact, I even made a post in the Support Forum asking a question about the manual. Then I forgot about the game, because it is not due in France until next month. A few days ago, I read somewhere that the game has been heavily patched. So I go back to their forums, wondering what was done with it as it was seemingly bug infested. To my surprise, I cannot access anymore the support forum.
To get a patch, you have to be registred. I can understand that. But not be able to brose the technical forum is to me highly suspicious, and that seems to me overkill if indeed it was decided for Piracy reasons. It is depriving me of precious informations about the game's quality.
Oh well,
That was just today's rant.

That is over kill and should be taken as a horribly bad sign.
Also I post at the Deus Ex IW Tech forum as well. The game is good, but has many issues that need to be addressed. Still it is a fun game.
