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.
