X4: Foundations

Лучший космосим

So, this game is one of the classics - alongside Kenshi, Rimworld, and others which afford limitless player agency and is rife with jank. You learn to accept the jank - such as the utter impenetrability of the gameplay to the bizarre interface choices, to the bugs - in order to get to the meat of the game of which there is truly nothing else on the market that does everything it tries to do and often succeeds. Like many people will tell you - it's a very hard game to get into. The 'cut your teeth' content in the timelines DLC is actually worse than nothing, but is almost required due to the rewards. The tutorials are awkward, but absolutely required yet none of it really prepares you. I'll tell you though that the end result when you're really in it - is singular. My longest running game I was operating as a mercenary and had a military force of ships that could warp into a sector and unload 4 full wings of 4 squadrons each of fighters and a battlecruiser with 12 beam turrets. We were fighting the good fight against the X and the K. I promise, it gets worth it and I promise it will be chewing chalk until it is.

Was watching Cohh play.. looked so much fun. But i dont have 10k ppl watching and guiding me. trying to ask anything in this forum and you get the most acoustic replies. Not so much fun alone and trying to watch videos taht make any sense on yt. over all it was a waste of money i dont thikn ill ever tough this again.

purchased this game at its release played x, x2, x3, and was super excited for x4. got over 200 hours in before I gave up. controls were wonky, and after about a week of giving it a rest, I forgot how to play the controls are so bad. So, here i am 8 years later. new computer. using mouse and keyboard instead of a joystick. Figured some issues would be fixed. Couldn't even finish the tutorials. on the combat tutorial my ship was stuck in reverse and I slammed into the station. kept resetting my input controls (mouse and keyboard, default settings) so that I had to keep hitting shift space to reenable mouse steering. But ship was still stuck in max reverse. finally fixed that (have no idea what reset it) then I started a game. did the patrol begining adventure mode, where you have to fix a satelite. (sorry, Im a bit distracted. kid keeps saying Im misspelling words, like satellite. I don't care, dads ranting) couldnt figure out how to disembark the ship. every time I go into a menu (had dead satelite targeted, was stopped within 50 meters) the stupid ship would reverse and take me away from the satellite (kid says thank you for spelling satelite correctly last time. still dont care.) Id be like 1.6k away and have to fly back. finally decided to take out my phone and look it up. Swear, I was in the ship menu (enter key) and didn't see "get up" like 4 times. but, control D works as well, and I can do that without slamming my ship into reverse. exited the ship. Now my space suit is in full reverse. Cant stop it. x dont work, y dont work, z dont work. I can hit tab and start moving forward at like 5 meters a second, but I cannot stop. Its either full reverse if im not doing anything, or max thrust with tab. Stupid game. I just saved and quit. Maybe in another 8 years we will get another 10 dlc and they will finally fix the stupid input bugs. Edit : same day, quit, restarted, issue went away. also figured out when mouse steering goes away you can left click and drag the mouse and move your ship that way without constantly hitting shift space to get steering back whenever you exit a menu.

I've played No Man's Sky, Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. This is the game I've been searching for. There's nothing else like it. Learning curve is a bit steep but well worth the time and effort. My only complaints are probably the usual: UI is a bit clunky/non-intuitive and the graphics are outdated. Once I got past those issues, I've been having a blast ever since.

Best space sim

literally what i been looking for the past few years best game ever. combines stellaris with in person space games

I like it

PLAY THE TUTORIALS!!! Wonderful game. I'll be honest, I initially tried this game a couple years ago, put 25 hours into it, and just couldn't get into it while following 30-60 minute youtube videos in series'. With 9.0, I wanted to give it another go. I did, said screw it to youtube videos, did every module of the tutorial, and learned everything necessary. Was able to learn everything in the span of an hour or two and am now 82 hours in lol.

Построив несколько станций и наладив автоторговлю, обеспечив себя кое-каким пассивным доходом, я пришел к мысли, что больше не вижу особого смысла играть дальше. Да, можно дальше развивать экономику, построив себе еще больше станций, заиметь огромный флот и начать захватывать сектора, но не думаю, что это сильно что-то изменит. Неписи, по видимому, даже не признают вашу фракцию и от ваших действий в игре ничего сильно не поменяется, все будет продолжать идти своим чередом, фракции будут продолжать враждовать друг с другом, ксеноны и хааки будут все также бездумно нападать (а что им еще делать). А даже если всех уничтожить, то тогда интерес к игре тогда совсем пропадет. Я пониманию, что это по сути огромная космическая песочница и развлекать себя ты должен, по большей части, сам. В этом-то и проблема. Какой-то конечной цели тут нет, если ты только ты сам её себе не придумаешь. Не буду говорить о плюсах и минусах, т.к. их и до меня по сто раз уже все расписали. Это не плохая игра, если вы понимаете, ради чего вы в подобные игры вообще играете.
