Starlancer or Privateer 2

as a WC fan it is your duty to buy WC games first....
so first buy P2 and you can always buy SL later, since it's a newer game anyway, the price will only drop and the bugs maybe left ou (if there are any
)

What was that, Earthworm? P2 has replayability? Yeah, right.
Forget them both. Buy yourself StarCraft. Better still, the StarCraft BattleChest. That's two games in one.
I know it may be a bit strange that here, at a WC chatzone, I'm telling you to forget a WC game and to buy StarCraft. But StarCraft is just sooo worth it.

Redtic: Oh, fair enough. As long as you've got StarCraft and Brood War, you're free to do whatever you want with your money
.
Earthworm: Well, let's just agree to disagree. Because frankly, I deleted P2 the moment I finished it. And it's now on its way to Poland, because one of my brothers happens to like it. Personally, I will never play P2 again. You can't make me!

Yes, I like P1 better than P2 (obviously). P1 is a great game, while P2 could hardly get much worse. Naturally, this is just MY opinion. You're free to like P2, as long as you don't try to persuade me that it's a good game.
For one thing, P1 was immediately seen as a part of the WC universe. It did not need an FAQ for people to accept it as taking place in the WC universe.
Secondly, P1 had superior sound effects. It had nice gun sounds, nice taunts (just to make myself clear, I don't mind the Bri'ish accents in P2. In fact, they give the game a very unique flavour), which P2 most definitely has not. It also has great comm lines from the civvies, which P2 MOST definitely has not (here I do mind the accents... when a dying pilot sounds like a lemming with a French accent, you know something's very wrong with the game).
Furthermore, P1 did not have stupid news articles that made the whole game seem like the parody of a space sim. And P1 did not have such idiotic things as a spaceship that will refuse to take off if it predicts boredom during the voyage.
Also, P1 had better AI, nicer ship designs, a better plot (yes, you heard right; the plot in P2 is nice, but in P1 it's way better... at least there was no evil twin brother involved
), many far more interesting locations.
And most importantly, P1 has no booth system! I remember you once complaining that in P1, the sales people, the bartenders and so on all looked the same. Well, P2 doesn't even have sales people. The booth system, you realise, was just used as a great way to cut production costs...
Is that enough, or should I try to come up with more?
I certainly could manage. After all, I haven't even mentioned the horrid flight engine P2 uses.

But that's not realy important. Sure, it's obvious that it takes place in the WC universe, but does that enhance the plot or gameplay?Quarto said:
I agree about the taunts, those sucked in P2, but the sound effect were overall better IMO.
Now, I can't agree on that. The civies were lame in both games.
Wha?
Hardly. The P1 AI is one of the worst I've seen, along with P2.
The only fighters (of the fighters you could fly) I liked were the Centurion and the Galaxy, meanwhile I liked most ships in P2. Even the ones that sucked.
The plot in P1 was one of the thinest I've seen, save FS. You couldn't get to realy care for any characters, and the dialogs between them were cheesy.a better plot (yes, you heard right; the plot in P2 is nice, but in P1 it's way better... at least there was no evil twin brother involved), many far more interesting locations.
But it has plenty other people that don't look the same. I loved the booth. Everything I wanted in one place.
Hardly, instead of making FMV with ship dealers and bartenders on all planets, Warthog concentrated on making a lot of small subplots with FMV. Like Xavier Shondi, or Mellisa Banks.
???? Horrid? The P2 engine is extremly smooth, beautifull, and functional. If not the poor AI, P2's gameplay would be among the top WC's.

Sometimes I feel sick when I play Starlancer because the enemy pilots ask you not to kill them just before you do, and for some reason that really, really bothers me. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it just does.
In WC4 you kill people too, but they sound like rednecks and eject once in a while, so I'm ok with that, atleast they have a chance.
