Just finished EOC

I finished this game yesterday evening, and just had to come here and say WOW!

What an amazing experience that was. Gameplay, graphics, sounds, music, physics, cgi, everything was just damn good. But most of all the immersion was unbelievable.

The single most beautifull thing in this game is IMO the fact that you can see stars from so far away. I dunno if there's any other game out there where you can take a look at a distant star go into LDS and travel there real-time. You can see how you pass every other stars / planets / moons in the way. Amazing stuff

so, thank you Particle Systems. You gave me one helluva ride!


P.S. I think this game was a commercial flop. How the hell is that possible?

Yep, it sure is a great game. Now you get to use all the cool mods without fear of screwing up your mission progress. Cool huh?

I have no idea how that happened. Maybe it's because space sims just aren't popular for no aparent reason. People just ignored it before they could get into it. I tried the demo of this game, not expecting much, and I was imediately into it. I had to go out and buy the full game just the next day.

I tried the demo and hated it. Still ended up loving the game after I bougth it. I just had to buy it because I always wanted to play i-war 1 but somehow never bougth it. When I-war2 was coming out I bougth it immediately

Didn't really start to play it before February 2002 though. First I got stuck, then after I installed winXP I could not configure my Saitek x36 (Saitek hasn't still released programming interface for xp / 2000).

Maybe it hasn't sold that well just because people are not into space-games that much. On the other hand, I don't enjoy space games either usually. A good game is a good game, doesn't really matter if it's a space game or some other genre.

and yeah, thank god for the mods. I don't have to quit playing now

I think part of the reason are all the major bugs and bad scripts. Some of those missions are a bit to hard to figure out without help for the average person. Then there are all the major bugs. Both me and my brother are stuck in Act 2 because the last mission refuses to activate. This seems to be a common bug as we both use different computers and I have heard of other people with it.

Still even with the bugs its one of my favourite games. In fact I would put it 2nd with Elite 3 being my favourite space game.

Any chance you have a save game at the start of Act 3 or just before the last mission on ACT 2?

Hey, I got saves from late in act 2 to the end of act three...

Shinatar. Can you email them to me at mailto:soupdragon@i-war2.com]soupdragon@i-war2.com . I'm sure Pottsey will be pleased to receive the act 2 stuff.
