Do you really think FS2 is the best space sim ever?

Yes, it's perfect!
Yes, although it has a few things that should've been improved before the release.
Yes, but there are many things that should've been improved before the release.
I don't know what to say, I don't find it that special.
To be honest I played better sims, I like FS2 only thanks to its moddability and the SCP.

How will people know what you mean if you don't say what you mean? The message was specifically that when a newer and better game appears, people will abandon the older and better. That's too better to make sense.

Look at it this way:

Some people say that Tiberian Sun is better than Tiberium Wars. Others say the opposite. Though Tiberium Wars is newer, so has better graphics and more features, thus it's better. Older and better means that you enjoy the older game more than the new advanced "better".

Ah, well, that's what I get for posting when making weapons for FS2...

So what you're trying to say, Shadow, is that, if there is a New Space Sim, it will have its good points and bad points over FreeSpace 2, while FreeSpace 2 will also have its good points and bad points over the New Space Sim, yeah?

You really cannot compare the graphics of a almost 10 year old game to a new game. They didn't have as good gaming platforms back then so thye couldn't make games very graphic heavy.

No, he said "good" and "FreeSpace" in the same sentence.

Hopefully someone will get what I'm saying after a while...
