Is X3 any good? I played X1 Gold, but it got boring after a while. As this was the first game that played like Elite I picked it up. I've since then realised since playing RPG's such as Betrayal at Krondor and space sims like Freelancer, that the best type of game to go for today is one with the best of both worlds. In other words one with a diverse open universe that doesn't stop you exploring whilst at the same time has a strong story that you can follow such that you feel immersed in the game and feel part of it and get a greater feel for the character you are playing and those you interact with. Is X3 any good? Thanx. AMO
