Ok...
Hello. This is the topic starter....hope u guys remember me.
After alot of reading, (I dont come here too often to read the posts), I can only conclude that my interest in the question of whether or not the Freelancer game will be "successful" is now 100% dead.
After reading that useless mouth stabbing shit it dawned on me that I will never know if the game will be "good" until I sit down and play it.
On more then one occasion has other ppls. opinions predetermined the GENERAL idea of what a game/movie/album/whatever is all about. Every kind of bad preview/review can be devastating for a persons expectations of a game/movie. If u hear someone saying it suckz, then u think almost automaticly that it does...At least in some ways.
It's impossible NOT to influenced by the negative shit that floats around,
, u cant put that out of your mind when the time comes and u play or watch the game/movie.
The kinda of ppl that have that opinion is afraid to get their hopes up because the chance is that they will be disappointed. I know that because I am one of those ppl.
So I can understand why ppl. expect FL to be totally sucky because of different opinions/facts/and prejudgements.
I say facts because in all of this mouth stabbing, an ounce of truth has surely come up in one form or another, I just don't know which..
If I may have a another moment of your time..
The Lord of The Rings is a perfect example of high expectations.
Yes I'm a LOTR nerd...read the books and all that.
Just like before I was afraid to be disappointed before hand. People always put write down the crappy bits of a movie/game on a forum or chat line.
And since this was one of the "highpoints" of my literary life, I totally ignored all of those posts and previews. And later I had to avoid the news papers reviews,(the movie had its first running in 9th december), so that was a bit though. But I was determined NOT to be affected of what other ppl. said about the movie before I had a chance to judge for myself.
I see the same stuff here..... Freelancer is apperently, (according to some ppl. here), " not true to it's designers wishes/legacy/whatever".
But then there is the optimists... A kind of ppl. I also have a problem with. Just as ppl say before hand it's gonna suck the other side says it's gonna rock.
So u see the position it puts me in.
I therefore announce that I will NOT give any serious thoughts to there comments made here in this topic. They way I see it, theres a semi-war going on in here, (at least it did), of which I want no part of.
I realise my thoughts here may be somewhat "pushy" to some ppl. in this community. So be it.....Let no one say I don't stand for my opinions WHEN I am sure of them..
(pardon of any mispelling)
