Requires too much of a time commitment, I'd imagine.

Just too much character building and not enough action for me. I like to just jump in a game and have fun. Neverwinter Nights is also involving, however, not as much as SWG. So i play of NWN and for free, and have much more fun on the spot, then i would have in SWG paying 20 bucks a month.

of people i know play the game, have said the same thing but they enjoyed it at the later levels because the action got more prominent in the game. So if you dont mind spending time building up then getting to the action, then its a fine game. otherwise if you like character building and some quick action try something else.

[Knight Templar]

Well I'm playing it for free, so I guess I can't complain... but yes, there is quite a bit of character building.

[aldo_14]

Problem with all MMORPGs, I guess - they need some way in which to a) ensure players need to spend a long time playing and b) are 'losing' something when they stop.

[Flipside]

And of course the fact that many of these games are pay-per-month.

I like to pay for my games once and once only

Yes, I know they have to upkeep the server etc

[Gloriano]

well I play only fantasy MMORPG's (ff11 and waiting WOW

B) make Freespace3 multi-platform Game first PC version
with Modding tools (Fred3) and then port it to consoles
so they get lots money, and it sells enough and they don't lose money and they keep THQ happy

that's my 0.002 $

I'm all for a multi-platform FS3. I want the story more than any other part of it - and stories are often told much better on console games than on PC titles, in my experience.

it's now how a game looks, or what platform its on, it's how it feels, and how well a story grabs your attention.

that's what counts..

if you want a game with a good story, try and find "the nomad soul" it's french, and wierd, but in a good way.. great story too..
another good one is Beyond Good and Evil.

freespace wouldn't have been nowhere as good as it was or will ever be, without the story.

valve did this with Half-life, where you /were/ the main character, this is why gordon freeman never talks, they didn't want to break the feel of the game for you, you /were/ gordon freeman in the game..
this is also why the metal gear solid series have so much of a following, a great story to it.

it's also hard to produce a cohesive storyline, and structure it well, believe me on that one.

True, I was going point it:)

Very true

Well MGS story is not that hard follow, I think it's great story

[WildWolf]

yeah it's too bad there was no game to go along with that story.

[ZylonBane]

FS3 on a console would be a lightweight, sucky shadow of its former self.

/give me over a dozen keys just for targeting or give me death!

I'd like to point out that some consoles (XBox and PS2 (and 3?) being my examples) you can connect a keyboard to extend the functionality of the system.  I mean, the PS2 has a pair of USB ports, so you can slap any USB-capable keyboard on, and all it'd take would be some appropriate drivers to enable a joystick to work with it, I think.

Consoles are becoming a fair bit more flexible than you give them credit for.  Still no replacement for a trusty PC, however.

dude, you don't play MGS2, you watch MGS2:p

but yeah, only flaw in a teriffic game, was that there wasn't much of it.
