Starpoint Gemini 2

This game is like a watered down version of Eve Online meets Freelancer. This is perhaps ,in my opinion, the perfect start to making an addictive space RPG. I'll start with some of the negatives then get into what makes this game pretty cool. -The game isn't perfect on the technical side as there is slow down when there are lots of particle effects and my PC is more than capable of handling it. -AI Navigation (the GO TO) function tends to over correct and can't go around space stations properly, so you have to back out and point yourself at the destination some of the time. A minor gripe. Just pay attention as it sometimes won't avoid asteroids. Rarely though. -The game isn't as indepth as many would like it as far as gameplay is concerned. -Voice acting is "meh" but not horrible -Traveling can become boring and taking jump gates is expensive. If you don't have the patience that "typical" space sims require you will want to play this in doses. Pros: -The map is one giant persistent area, with a hexagon over map that can be accessed anytime and pauses the game while you look around. Once you touch each area it uncovers the whole hexagonal area on the map. -Accessing side missions and freelance mission is simple. Plus you can easily set way points and click "go to" with out any trouble, which brings me to my next point. -The game can be played almost entirely with a mouse though I would advise using the keyboard for banking and rolling. Which is extremely important for turret locations on the ship. -You can take your time and explore to uncover planets and space stations to your hearts content. Your ship's voice will let you know about incoming bad guys and in typical RPG fashion find out the hard way which areas should be left alone for now. An evolution to this game would make the ultimate ship based RPG and seems to be the best of the 3

So let me clarify the majority of the reason I thumbs down this game is for personal preferences. But there has been some bugs. but before i do let me give credit where its due. its graphics are not bad at all for how old it is and it is a massive map. once you get the hang of it it can get pretty easy. 1. Issue is i hate the grind in this game. it takes so long to build up enough cash to have a real nice ship and to be strong enough to even play the game as well as the long haul across the universe. i get its space and all but damn. 2. learning to play takes a lot of reading boring training exercises. this is a personal issue because i mm more of a doer than a reader when learning something. 3. the auto pilot system is broken and will not maneuver well at all, often crash into things and often if you have it go to a planet to dock it will just fly past it or smash into it. 4. bug. the game crashes. i had to do many fixes to get this game to stop crashing, as for most older games but still. 5. it would constantly start in a different window resolution and often windowed mode and that got quite annoying. overall i give this game a 5/5 and thats just out of respect for what it could have been.

The game has some nice points. Capturing ships is the fastest way to build wealth. The game has no strategy. Its just get a better ship, then get an even better ship and get more wealth so you can get the best ship. The HUD is too big, intrusive and bright for me. It is a total distraction to immersion. You can hit F11 to remove the HUD, but it removes everything, the mouse pointer, ship targeting. Even the destination markers are gone, so you are blind in space this way. I have tried using a HUD mods, and there is one that is better than vanilla. Its finicky to get it to load the 1st time. It wouldn't work with my DLC's until I used it without DLC's first. Don't ask me why. It makes the borders of the HUD see through, so you can see more action below your ship. However, the icons are still super sized and too big. Still, makes the game more functional.

This game got me hooked! I'm not usually the one to get too much into exploring the ever-growing vastness of space (dark, overly lenghty, boring), but Starpoint Gemini 2 managed to make it extraordinarily eventful! The game is really on point and I love it. I've tried the prequel and am yet to play the sequel, but I firmly believe the standards go up with each new release. I cannot get over the fact how well the audiovisuals are made, and how much they enhance the overall atmosphere. I've lost a handful of missions purely out of my negligent immersion in the 'feel' of the moment :D Anyway, very cool, I'm still catching up with the combinations and strategies for the best experience possible. 3D models are amazing, music even more so, the backgrounds and everything - so cool! Dialogue, however, needs more fluidity as I've caught myself being more drawn to small freelance missions rather than Main and Side, but that may only be me. It just means I play the game longer ;) All in all, I'm very entertained by Starpoint Gemini 2, and I'd definitely recommend it for aspiring space explorers and everyone who feels like it!

ОООЧЕНЬ скучно =(

Se dovessi mai suggerirti di giocare a questo gioco significa che odio te, i tuoi cari e tutta la tua stirpe. [list] [*]UI terribile: le statistiche delle armi sono prive di unità di misura, buona fortuna nel capire se quel 0.3 di danno è un +0.3 o +30%, l'interfaccia e i controlli sono confusionari perché chiaramente gli sviluppatori non sapevano su quale schema di controllo concentrarsi (broadside combat come Rebel Galaxy o dogfight classico), tutorial sparati in faccia che non spiegano letteralmente nulla e non comincio nemmeno a parlare del sistema delle regioni, mai spiegato a fondo. [*]Combattimento noioso: le armi sono per la maggior parte innestate su torrette, ma non è dato sapere dove siano presenti queste torrette sulla nave se non da una vaga descrizione nello schema della nave; il combattimento è un misto fra broadside combat e dogfighting, però la mancanza di un lead indicator per i proiettili e di un sistema ben sviluppato di torrette lascia il gioco in un limbo non ben definito. [*]Trading inutile: c'è la possibilità di comprare alcune navi cargo per fare trading fra le stazioni ma si rivelano inutili perché le tratte più proficue non riempiono la stiva (e quindi si può fare a meno di navi dedicate al commercio) e alla fine la cattura e la rivendita di navi nemiche è un'attività molto più fruttuosa; inoltre il mercato è statico e la compra/vendita di materiale non intacca i prezzi. [*]Storia insulsa: se vi piacciono i B-Movie apprezzerete gli accenti orrendi dei doppiatori. [*]Nessun elemento RPG: avere gli skillpoint e il sistema di reputazioni non è condizione sufficiente e necessaria a categorizzare un gioco come "gioco di ruolo". [/list] tl;dr: se l'avete avuto gratis ok, altrimenti girate alla larga. PS: Non c'è nessun elemento di comando flotta, il massimo è pagare dei mercenari che non sono comunque comandabili.
