This is definitely one of those games I say I'll wait a day or two to get other peoples first impression and see if it's horribly broke, but in reality I'm just gonna buy it on launch day.

I guess with Steam refunds the way they are these days there's not actually any risk...

Yeah Steam refunds are a pretty good motivator, but games like the X series also take awhile to dive deep into them and it can easily be over 2 hours before you realize it's horribly broken.

X:2 and X:3 were fundamentally good games though, they just had a lot of bugs. X: Rebirth at it's core is a terrible game that isn't fun and that can't be fixed without making what is basically releasing this Friday.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I want it to be bad, just trying to curb people's enthusiasm. I loved X2 n 3, really hoping this one fills the space void left by elite (no replayability) and SC (not out).

So the only reason I'm even a little bit hopeful for x4 being decent at launch is that Xrebirth ended up being a decent game at the end and with X4 being mostly the same engine there theoretically shouldn't be a whole lot to gently caress up.



On the other hand...

So what's with the Vitruvian Man on all the spaceships? Is that the default player faction logo?

I seem to remember it being in Rebirth possibly as a corp or faction logo. Might be wrong though.

I want to say it was the default player logo back in X2, but fuuuuuck that was a long time ago, my CD long gone and the starforce copy protection wouldn't work in Windows 10 anyhow.

I mean I've seen people literally bitch about others asking if you can play on a controller which made me confused. Flight stuff often feels alright on controller and it's fairly easy to reach your keyboard.

My guess is that people are salty because the easiest thing to point to that completely hosed Rebirth from the word 'go' was that the series' extremely complex controls were very poorly mashed into compliance with controllers in the hopes of a console release that never panned out.

Stroke of luck!

I'm really looking forward to watching a stream of this game so someone else can figure out how the hell I should go about actually getting started, then I'll pick it up. Every time I tried to play X3 or its expansions I felt like I was never making progress or understanding anything.

The X games have a lot of menu fiddling to do. I wouldn't recommend using a controller unless you like switching to mouse a lot.

I played E:D like that until I got a HOTAS it wasn't too bad. Sometimes it feels nice just because even with a HOTAS I occasionally need to push weird as poo poo to do stuff.

On some level I've come to prefer a controller even over a full on joystick just because of the ease of use between the grip and throwing it down to mess with mouse/keyboard so I'm not that bothered by it.

Freelancer mouse flight has always been an anathema to good gameplay. :colbert:

Yeah this is why I switched from X52 to Xbox pad in Elite.

I played X3AP with a controller and it played just fine, rebirth did too.

Playing purely with a controller? Yeah, you're nuts. But just using a controller to fly/fight, and using keyboard/mouse while on AP/in stations, not a problem. You all have laps, right?

This is also what I would suggest, technically you can play X with a HOTAS but you need a really big desk because you definitely need a keyboard at the same time.

I actually find it really mentally jarring to swap between controller and M&K, can't do it.

Rodina is an in development indie attempt at it.

There's also Rogue System which is going for insane hardcore simulation so it needs a pretty heavily modelled ship.

It's something I've always wanted as well. Even if it's an assigned player ship give me the feeling of owning my own Millennium Falcon or Bebop.

Basically I want Privateer but with some more immersive and rpg elements.

Catching up with the thread but just a heads up rogue system is probably dead the dev put out an update on steam and basically he was injured and hospital bills and the game have pretty much ruined him he lost his house and everything i think.

Also i played rebirth and thought it was fine with an xbone controller/mouse i mean i couldnt think of a better way they could have done it for that setup. My problem with rebirth was by the time they got it working i didnt care anymore i was sick of starting over.
