X3 is the same X2 evn the Bordem remains. Tedium and fucktardiness.
The Germans lost the WAR why are they aloud to do this to us with this
game NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I can't belive thi sgam eis a full priced game. Its a backyard-garage
game. Sur eit looks good but its SO FRACING boring. Ist supposed to be
space trading game. But its Go SO BORING missions its unbleivable. The
BBS is useless to a new player as their is no missions on it you can
take.

Your either not experienced or dont have the ship to do it. If they
had missions even a newbie could take it would be a start. but for now
its a total waste of time. And only for the Masicast out their.

Oh well.  bring on Elite 4.
