Freelancer is very arcadey and extremely dated.
Agreed, and it still holds up as the best space Sim game ever in my opinion. The reason it wins that award for me is because it's fighting/flying style felt really interesting and dynamic. We're as every other space Sim I played did not capture that as well. That being said, I do enjoy alot of aspects of other space Sim games, so I'm not her to say they are bad. Just that freelancer is the best as a whole package. Only really negative to the game is that Microsoft owns it and because of that the only long term progression of the game is fan made.
I find the combat & flight model the biggest weak point of it to be honest, and certainly light years away from that of Elite Dangerous.
To each there own I guess :)
