X4: Foundations

A bit over 500 hours in the game, i have only started my second game xD Aspect that gets on my nerve the most, ist the slow base building speed, specially in the beginning... There were some nice mods for X3 that warped the parts in - yes highly unrealistical but a lot satisfying. But anyway, i can absolutely recommend the game. Exploring, Fighting, Economy/Trade is a fun thing to do here. Do yourself a favour and don't read a lot of guides first. Try to figure it out! If you can't progress, you can take a look online. And maybe, see your first playthrough as a test, which you wil probably restart after 50 hours in, because you know, it has scratched that itch, that you can make it better ;-) The story is there, it's not bad but it will not win an oscar. Though it does not catch you emotionally in any case even if you have to make decisions. Some caracters are funny. The races are there now, missed my boron friends a long time. The ships look a lot more like "their races" background should. In the beginning i found them more like a box-placeholder for a beta version xD Happy they got rid of a few of those ugly monsters not befitting their racial aestetic. So all in all - started as a 6/10, i think it is now a good 8/10 with the possiblity of a 9/10 depending on the further development. Oh yeah and graphic is good, nothing too fancy, but overall good also performance wise. I personally like the sound but then i also play most of the time my games with music on 50% or off. Not a fan of the german voices, changed my game to english therefore.

This game is in the best state it has ever been with the 9.0 release, lots of quality of life improvements, the best that combat between ships has ever felt. This game has a lot of moving parts for the uninitiated, and it can be counterintuitive sometimes, not everyone has the patience to get into this game. I am still learning new things even as many hours as I have in, only scratched the surface of the endgame content, I have yet to even build a shipyard. I feel like the DLCs are essential, but maybe pick them up during a Steam sale. The DLCs expand the game map and add variety even if you do not interact with the story content directly on a given playthrough. Kingdom End was my favorite hangout in previous games in the series, this game did not feel complete without the Boron. The DLCs interrelate sometimes, there is a Queen's Herald mission in Kingdom End to deliver water to the Riptide Rakers in Tides of Avarice, not sure if there is a different Herald mission if you do not have both DLCs active. You can do that mission in one trip with a Hyperion with a couple of small couriers in the hangar acting as "saddlebags" love that ship, unlocking it makes early game trivially easy. My first trip to Tidebreak is usually the Queen's Herald delivery mission. Hint for early game: Kill Xenon or go to a place where other people are killing Xenon, pick up the stuff they drop and turn it into hacking software at a crafting table, sell (don't get caught!). This is also an ideal way to find components to unlock the SETA, Xenon ships sometimes drop those. Also, the crafting table is your close friend generally, buy random components from station traders, combine to make better stuff, sell.

Mais de 200 horas de jogo, e acreditem, eu nem "finalizei" minha primeira campanha. É praticamente um sandbox, começa pequeno, quase como um RPG. Mas depois você cresce, passa a gerir estações, frotas imensas e a comandar nações pelas sombras, que nem um RTS. Sei dessas coisas pois eu pesquisei e estou apenas começando a tocar nisso mas ja consigo ver o futuro na minha campanha. Eu nem irei citar os mods, até porque eu não me sinto a vontade de mexer neles agora, mas parece que tem como adicionar naves adicionais. Sei que não é só isso que os mods fazem, mas sei que eles devem mais do que duplicar a experiência. Enfim, mesmo meu PC sendo fraco, e penando pra jogar, eu consigo ter uma boa experiência. SUPER RECOMENDO. Caso queira as DLCs (que eu recomendo SIM), escolha o conjunto "Edição Comunidade de Planetas" são onde tem as DLCs que mais enriquecem seu jogo, eu garanto.

it would be extremely stupid to play 2000h then write like "oh, this game is actually bad", you can see it all in 100, someone even in 50hrs seriously - just read the reviews, it's much more fun than playing the game problem is - it does not meet expectations anyone would have for 8-years old space sim with 25 years of space sims background though there is definitely good parts like - amazing ships design, almost as good stations design - whole universe simulation happening in real time, no loading screens, and economy somewhat honest it falls in every in every lesser aspect making gameplay a pain

遊戲很好玩，但是不適合每天很忙的我

Sf, Captain, Civ, CSII vb bir çok sim oyununa saatler gömdüm. Büyük bi Ogame hastasıyım ayrıca ama ben 5 saat boyunca paramla işkence çektim resmen! ilk 3 saat sadece oyun neden çöküyor diye uğraştım sonrada berbat bir öğretici ile (hatta bence öğretici falan yok) 5 saatim çöp oldu. neden olduğu belli olmayan ırk savaşında mıyız, uzay gemisi sürme simülasyonunda mıyız, ticaret mi yapıyoduk ben bir türlü çözemedim ve evet pes edip F4 çektim. parama yazık oldu. sağlık olsun.
