levi Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: For FREEDOM! BTW, this game does have a sequel now that you can also pick up for around $15. It is set in the 1940's and I didn't get the same feeling playing it as I did with the original FF, but if you fell in love with the characters and that Silver Age feel, it's a good cheap buy.

gojira Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: For FREEDOM! I haven't but at $15 I think it's probably a sure thing sometime soon. The orginal was great. I think my most effective team was Alche-miss, El Diablo, Bullet and one tank, usually MM or that teleporting robot (duplicates are great). Overall, yeah, I think it was great fun and a great game. Very Hero System inspired too, with the over-charging (pushing), ernergy use (END), and the way powers were built and used. Fun as heck. Not super balanced but fun just the same. Man, it's been years, I think I should fire the original up again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Re: For FREEDOM! Hmm. Going off background, powers and all that, my favorite character in the first one was Man-Bot. If you go off of who I used most often, it was Alchemiss ... her Repulsion attack was a work of beauty, especially on the final mission where you could simply overpower the thing and knock most of the enemies off into the abyss. In the second game, I was positively, absolutely hooked on Tombstone. His weird powers wound up incredibly effective, and he turned out to be my key to beating the Glacial Giant ... I'd possess him, then he couldn't raise his deflection field to bounce Diablo's Infernos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Re: For FREEDOM!(Freedom Force) Where are my manners? Thank you very much. You're very welcome, but considering it took me over two years to find you anything useful, I wasn't exactly going to demand a show of gratitude.

[/quote'] Well, to be honest with you, the thought DID occur to me to note the date of your post, then set my computer's calender to remind me roughly 912 days afterwards to say thanks then. But then my common sense clubbed my sense of whimsy back into the box for long enough to just say it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savinien Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Re: For FREEDOM! A small group of guys I'm aware of did a LOT of skinning, modding, and text editting for Freedom Force. The draw to see their Champions characters battling it out on Freedom Force was too great. There was also a large force of Fanboys doing the same for the Big 2 universes. Alot of them got pissed aobut the sequel as it uses a different graphic engine and all their work had to be redone. I don't know what this has to do with anything, but I've always been impressed by their work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
