That's funny.


Translator Developer:"You know, vasudans are aliens, so lets correct our past mistake and make them sound more alien, hehe..."
"Damn, that's technical revolution."

[WMCoolmon]

...and then, in the FSSCP, Microsoft Speech was implemented so even the humans sound alien. Yes, it's all a massive conspiracy

Besides, this is about the endings...

Hate to sound like the FS-geek on this one, but the first translators were made by the Vassy's...

Both were good.  But FS1 failed to make me believe that Earth was doomed.  The last missions of FS2 just sucked me in and wouldn't let go, there was a feeling of immense pressure in the last mission that wasn't present in FS1 except for maybe when you had to save the hope.

[Flipside]

For the mission, FS1, because in FS2 you are about as much use as a chocolate teacup in the final mission, whereas in FS1, you really can make all the difference

From storyline point of view, FS2 really rapidly turned from a bold step forward into running like hell in the space of about 5 missions, it was the feeling of that kept you playing.

Silent Threat wins easily

[jdjtcagle]

Explain?

[phreak]

It was the only ending where the story was resolved without any more explaining to do.

Lucifer dies.  Earth gets cut off from the GTA, fate of earth is left up in the air
Supernova.  Too many questions still remain

Hades dies.  you win.  end of story

[jdjtcagle]

I see what you mean...
   But, I'm going to stay with Fs1

[Mr. Vega]

The game had built an aura of invincibility into that ship I was in  shock when I saw the Lucifer blow up.

Nah, it's not that easy. You never get to know why the Hades was build. And I don't think the evil GTI was defeated by the destruction of the Hades.

The Addon wasn't that bad after all.

I said they both rocked. FS1 wins hands down for desperation and atmosphere, but as kara pointed out it was relatively predictable. FS2 had me surprised. Disappointed at the abruptness of the end, but dramatically surprised. That counts for something.

[karajorma]

The surprise is the reason I like the FS2 ending better. When I heard what the shivans were upto I was expecting a Ringworld style "lase the sun" superweapon which you'd take down at the last minute. Capella going supernova completely surprised me as did the fact that the game ended there.

Yeah it feels incomplete but then again so does the ending of Empire Strikes Back and I think that one has the best ending of all the SW movies Sometimes an incomplete ending is good.

[TopAce]

When there is a response to all questions it brings up.

[Hunter]

FS1, for the fact that the atmosphere is great and you get to see Earth at the end. That little flyby of Fighters/Bombers was pretty nifty.

I'd say that the fact that there was no response is one of the big reasons we all make mods.

You can always convince me.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Freespace2 all the way. Surprised the hell out of me. Nothing beats watching 80 Sathanas supernova a sun, therebye obliterating an entire star system. Nothing.
