X4: Foundations

It's not for everybody. The updates are rare and painfully slow. The initial grinding is the whole point. Endgame sucks. To the devs: I don't need plots...I need more weapons, turrets, shields and something OP for each and every updates... The universe should be balanced, yes. But...Not totally balanced...if you know what I mean. One more thing: I need one carrier that can host at least 16 M class ships. It can have zero S class docks/storage.

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.

make sure t watch youtube to get a better grip on the game. once yu know what is going on there is so much you can do

It's been 8 years and this is still incomprehensible to the extreme, this is one of the worst-presented gaming experiences you can find. I had more fun with No Man's Sky which is really saying something as that is the actual worst game humanity has ever produced. I wasted 2 hours here, I could tell another 20 wouldn't have provided a single second's worth of enjoyment, this is the hardest pass possible.

配置还行不卡，好玩的有点上头

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.

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.

Genius game, great 9.0 update. My only complaint is that some of the AI orders you can give to ships are absolutely useless because the AI just does not execute it properly, and the star system of pilots is not very rewarding. Luckily there is ways around it - the most critical orders work reasonably well, and once you get to managers pilot stars no longer matter.

X4 ist viel zu komplex aufgebaut für ein lachhaft simples wirtschaftssystem... Keine Erhaltungskosten! Kein Sold! Was an geld reinkommt gehört dir! Dieses System ist so rudimentär einfach das man schnell dahinter kommt preisdumping zu betreiben und auf masse produziert... Langweilig... da steckt keine herausforderung drin...
