X4: Foundations

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 My only complaints are probably the usual: UI is a bit clunky/non-intuitive and the graphics are outdated.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.

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.

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.

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.

Best first person space sim out there.

Has got to be one of the worst experiences as a new player I have ever had in any game, including the previous iterations of X4. It's a buggy mess, some known bugs have lingered for years. Hell even the tutorial has game breaking bugs in it. Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrible.

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.
