Board Thread:Hype Train for GoF3/@comment-27056410-20161207191157/@comment-30202282-20161210165200

GOF3 is a good game in its own right, but it doesn't live up to GOF2. Also, given the decisions the devs have made about how the game is structured, I don't think it's actually possible to make GOF3 live up to GOF2.

I like the game, and I'll devour any new Galaxy on Fire as I can, but color me disappointed. What I wanted was something that would supercede GOF2 in every way, something that would REPLACE GOF2 on my device, but instead I got a game I'll play for a while (but not forever) in ADDITION to GOF2. This has none of the freedom, none of the customization, and none of the longevity that made GOF2 great. Even GOF1 felt more open, just because you could take missions from different stations. GOF3 tells you about how "Traders frequently use the Groza," but I can't actually trade. Most of the things GOF3's lore tells you people do in this universe, you can ACTUALLY do in GOF2, at least in a rudimentary fashion.

In short, I wanted a sequel, and Fishlabs gave me a spin-off.
