X4: Foundations

I really wanted to love this game, spent some times on it. But it's not worth it for me. The game is really made against player, and by that, I don't mean the AI. Everything is made clunky, from the UI to the management, so everything becomes hard, painful for no reason. And It's no fun at all after a while. Too bad cause it could have been fun. If you're like me, and want to try it despite the negative reviews: 1- Buy it on sale 90-95% (something like 5-10 $/€ max (max max max)) 2- Use mods - when you encounter ridiculous problems with the game, check the mods. People faced the same problems you face 3- Check everything you do 3 times. Exemples: 3.a: You click on an object, 1) do you really think it selected it ? 2) Are you sure ? 3) sure sure sure ? 3.b: You rotate the object ... WTF !!!! you didn"t check well. But after you do it again, you rotate it. No ! Not that ! Not this way ! What !!! Nooooooooooo Trying to rotate an object, you grabed another which rotated the way it wanted. And you still don't understand how that was possible in the first place... You didn't check enough before click / grabing to rotate. Your bad.... argg.... 4- When you did something after cheking 3 times, regularly check 3 times now and then, because meh, it may have change for whatever f... reason (you begin micromanagement,, and as the game goes on you start managing an empire, but with only micromanagement because mecanism are made to have you constantly check whatever you did... no fun, no fun at all, not aven a bit) 5- Did I tell to check all you think you ordered ? 6- Don't raise your expectation high. Seems great at first, but the game turns out no fun in the end, and I'm not talking about the story or the .... quests ? nahh, ... I won't call that quest, rather .... uninspiring uninspired tasks Sigh Serenity Plenitude Comfort Satisfaction Heaven I tried it, but leave it at last. It"s the best feeling I had from this game ^^

Have had a lot of fun with X4 over the years. Very Deep Game. Can get lost in it for hours.

Жалко, что она прикольная

best space combat simulator I have played. deep economy system, trading, mining, and crafting components, hire jobs out. great game steep and long learning curve.

Incredible graphics, gameplay, depth, and accompanying learning curve. If you like space and logistics, you will like this game. At 116 hours I have almost learned how to make a space station profitable. Almost.

An absolute gem of a game. So complex it must run on it's own game engine to track so many unique objects across the entire galaxy. Lovely lovely diamond, polished with years of valuable DLC and set into a solid foundational setting.

Bonjour, J'adore! Tellement de chose a faire, je ne décroche pas tellement c'est prenant. Je recommande!
