Had other things to play at the time plus I suppose I had just finished

Not really as I have explained above.

Since you are confused as you stated below I will explain, and I'll use small
words if that helps. I don't have much of an opinion of X2 at all really as I
"didn't really play it taht much". Perhaps you missed that bit. My point was
that since it has been years since I played an X game, the last one being
X-Tension it was like coming to it fresh all over again and despite the bugs I
am really enjoying X3. Yes it has better graphics of course but if you follow
the forums there are some very talented script writers that are either porting
over old X2 scripts or crafting brand new ones adding more and more things to
do.

I think a lot of people have those old tinted glasses on with respected to
Privateer.  Freelancer was so so but it locked you down to what you could and
couldn't do depending on how far through the plot you were. There was very
little you could do in the game. X3 is head and shoulders above Freelancer in
almost every area except maybe performance, at least on some systems, and 1.3
patch coming "real soon" is supposed to address that.
