X4: Foundations

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.

Начинаешь бомжом на хилом кораблике - играешь в полноценную РПГ с прокачкой корабля и средненькими но вполне сносными сюжетками заканчиваешь императором огромной галактической империи который может устроить геноцид одной из рас галактики просто по приколу) а самое главное - ты можешь обьявить официальную войну но зачем оно тебе нужно? если устроить геноцид какой-то расы не объявляя об этом на всю галактику - другие фракции даже не почешутся чтобы помочь умирающим товарищам 10/10 ПРЯМО КАК В ЖИЗНИ

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.

Was watching Cohh play.. looked so much fun. But i dont have 10k ppl watching and guiding me. trying to ask anything in this forum and you get the most acoustic replies. Not so much fun alone and trying to watch videos taht make any sense on yt. over all it was a waste of money i dont thikn ill ever tough this again.

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.
