X4: Foundations

THE GAME IS VERY EASY TO LEARN AND EASY TO WIN BEST SPACE GAME EVER BETTER THEN ANY ONLINE GAME

搞不明白一个游戏搞得这个晦涩，开发者是不是觉得玩家玩不明白显得自己游戏很高深。

一款界面复杂得要死的游戏，找个任务开关都要找半天，莫名其妙的冗杂又不明所以的界面选项分类，花里胡哨搞一大堆这样那样的谁知道啥是啥。。。看似有很多功能和玩法实际上最基本的游戏界面设计都是一大坨，极其繁琐而且枯燥，让人毫无游玩欲望，就没见过这种操作系统跟游戏内容这么割裂到极致的。基础玩法更是奇诡，连停个飞船都要自己记停在了哪个区域，而且还不显示区域名称，操作繁琐到连退出个载具都要进行好几个步骤，设计师真的是只顾着自己命名爽了毫不考虑玩家游玩体验。说这个游戏美术还行吧，也就造景还看得过去，角色建模跟僵尸一样，动起来八字弱的看了直接享福，外星人设计也没什么新意，就那几个传统刻板印象外星人设计而已。游戏bug之类的更是三天三夜都讲不完，穿模算最小的问题了，有的时候跟中邪了一样设计师引以为豪的垃圾屎山代码操作界面都打不开，这么粗糙的游戏个位数卖给我我都得掂量掂量，牛来早上线几年也是和这个游戏一拍即合臭味相投。早知道有这钱我不如去买俩冰棍吃，衮

This is a certified X series game, for sure. It hits all the right buttons in my brain unlike X Rebirth, which felt more arcadey than simulator. Interestingly, a lot of things from Rebirth were brought over, but they still feel pretty fresh overall, like the highway system which has been revamped a lot. It has the overwhelming sense of scale that X3 had, the economy functions pretty much exactly as expected, and it doesn't take too long to start snowballing. Third person is actually fun to play in, too, but I love that you can get up from your ship's chair any time and just walk around. The interior of stations are way, way cooler too. One thing I kind of struggle with is some of the ships the new factions have (though some are winners; I love the paranid ships). They just don't really sit right with me in terms of the aesthetic. For example, I never liked how Rebirth changed Teladi ships into these weird half sphere things which look all wonky in comparison to their typically very utilitarian design philosophy which demands as much space as possible. In the case of X4, they made the originally scary, imposing, asymmetrical looking Phoenix into a gigantic dome with engines in the rear, nothing like the original M2 which actually looked like a warship. Similarly, the Albatross is now just a couple of tubes with a platform in the middle, not this menacing, overwhelmingly supersized transport which looks like it could single handedly haul the moon all by itself after trading out a station of all of it's commodities in one go. Overall, I think they did the Teladi a great disservice in their new design philosophy and it detracts from the sheer scale the game presents. So, I'll be honest, I was scared when the reviews started talking about the menus, but, well, it really isn't much worse than X3. There's really more like two main menus, one you can get to in the map menu and one you can get to using the enter key. It's inconvenient but not exactly impossible, especially if you've played X3. I find the orders menu(s) to be a bit more confusing, though. You can direct ships from the map using just your mouse, but there's these other menus for stuff like default behavior, and the two aren't the same, some orders you can simply never give on the map interface itself. So, how does this really compare to X3? Not bad, not too bad at all. It's technically a smaller game in terms of total sectors, but it takes place over much vaster distances. The universe actually feels alive and the game will most definitely advance with or without your "assistance". The 100% native station design system is super cool, too. I only wish you could do the same thing to ships, and mix and match ship modules. And you, person who's never ever played an X game? You *could* go and play X3 Terran Conflict first, if you wanted to, but X4 provides the same overall experience, it just looks and feels better and is streamlined much more. Unfortunately, it's also more expensive, and requires DLC to get a lot of the featured factions already present in the standalone games like X3:TC. So it depends.

the game that ceep's on giving :)
