X4: Foundations

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

If you remember Elite on the BBC Micro (or the CPC464.... and others) then this is the game that we all dreamed of being able to play. There is not one single reason to not get this.

I think this is a good game. I have played a total of 31 hours and I still don't understand what I'm doing. I'm used to playing Elite Dangerous, and the controls are completely different on X4. We really need an official gamepad template for this game that actually makes sense. I wish X4 would change how pilots travel in this game. Its okay to make traversing like Elite Dangerous. I wish we would get rid of the highways and jump gates. They really take a lot away from the gaming experience. Please get rid of the highways and jump gates. This game would be close to perfect if that would happen. I also hate how the game tracks your destinations. Its difficult to even traverse in this game due to stupid jump gates, highways, and how the game guides you to your destinations. Other than that, the game seems to be really well done. Graphics are good, even though I can't turn my graphics up the way I would like due to my graphics card only having 6GB of VRAM and only 16GB of RAM total, dual-channel. I want to play this game more, but its difficult to travel and also difficult to know if you are going the right way to your destinations. I can't get past the first mission where I'm supposed to plant something on the SCA's station. I scanned the leak, flew away to safety. I then, fly to my next destination, but when I get there and get close to my target on the station, I start getting shot at. Am I supposed to disembark to my spacesuit to plant it or what? The game doesn't do a very good job of teaching new players what to actually do. People should not have to google search how to do things in your game. Your game should inform players on what to do and how to do them. Its ruined the experience for me, but I can't rate the game bad just because it contains things I absolutely hate. The game seems to be very well created, but the initial missions do not tell new players what to actually do and that ruins it for a lot of people.

Plus de 10 hrs de jeux et juste je comprends toujours rien, je passe mon temps à regarder des tuto... c'est juste plus frustrant que plaisant.

I get lost in this game, personal favourite!

great game, very deep and complex, amazinng music and amazing community if you get stuck/lost

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.

Honestly, I find this game to be an interesting challenge/experience. Although there are some aspects I would like them to improve on, I find this game to be enjoyable overall, even if some times frustrating. Partly because of chance on certain things. It doesn't help that my dyslexia makes it a pain to understand some of the instructions/wording. It definitely helps to have some of the DLCs. I suggest cradle of humanity since it makes things easier from the get go and they have some powerful ships. Despite one of them, the better one in my opinion, being behind a limiter until you can make your own...

you need a phd to play this janky ahh game
