*****EGOSOFT TNBT (X Rebirth)****

I think the main problem people are having is just a general lack of information in the ui, or at the very least a lack of understanding of it just yet.

I haven't really heard, or experienced, any majorly game breaking bugs other than the Energy Cell mission. Admittedly I have been skimming over the majority of the mindless rage posts everywhere though.

Other than the game design decisions (some of them are mind boggling to be fair) the only other major problem I've seen are the performance problems.

Barring these things I've been having a lot of fun with it, it's far from the completely broken game people keep suggesting. Of course it has problems in it's game elements which could, and should, be improved, but they don't break the game and prevent you from enjoying it. ****, I'm still doing the storyline and have only just ventured into doing proper trading with my trader, and have only just capped my first ship after about 5/6 hours.
 
I don't think a lot of them are mindless, a lot of them go into details about why they're raging and considering the same sentiments being echoed then ignore at your own peril it seems. I'll happily play £10-15 for an Alpha but not £40.
 
It's pretty inconceivable that Egosoft didn't know the game was unfinished, but they released it anyway. That's what's got a lot of people unhappy. At least if they'd been honest and said the game was still in beta, people wouldn't feel they'd been cheated out of the promised game.

Most games are like this now just look at BF4. The X games have a bit of a rep for being released in a very unfinished state and seeing as I have been able to play this one for a good few hours it is one of their better releases. :)

I wonder how many people that do not like it are new to the X series as to be honest it's pretty much everything I expected from the game.

The Devs do have a good reputation for patching like mad and the game will be heavily modded and improved by various people which will make it a better game.

Sometimes just getting the code out so it can be tested by the masses and modded and improved as necessary is the way to go. Sometimes a game like X is best left to the fans to find bugs and suggest fixes rather than the devs constantly delaying the release.
 
I'm a big fan of X2 and X3 and it's nothing like what I expected or was hoping for. I can't believe some people can defend the release even when the director of Egosoft himself is apologising for the game.
 
What I can't believe is that X Rebirth is still topping Steams charts! One of the problems I have being starting to get is the inside of the stations is making me nauseous. I have never felt this was playing a game before the only time I have felt this way was watching a monster movie as the cinema and they used over the top shaky cam and I have to walk out 20 minutes in.
 
I'm still having some fun to be fair, but it's hampered by the changes they've made, many of which are just making it more fiddly. I'm following the story for now and in all honesty it's fairly good.

Just not looking forward to it ending and the game being left before me, which is the entire point of X series. Real shame that it's going to take modder to save this.
 
At least we know that given time, the devs will fix it and the community should be able to take care of the rest.

Hopefully.
 
The trouble is that I cant see how they will fix nearly all the design changes out of the game. Its clearly made for consoles with its aweful menu system and massive text. Constant out of place mini games. It has just 4 gun types....

I can live with the odd crash and I get no performance issue. But this is not a X game (ive played every one extensively).

Have to agree, I had an episode of vertigo after walking around the station and cargo bay for a bit, there is a bad input lag and I haven't been able to play it since :(

X3:TC with the X-Tended Mod would be my fave.

Be aware though it will take some effort to get up to speed.

Very odd I'm not having input lag unless my joystick (X52) is plugged in, where it just doesn't work properly at all, a very noticeable delay. Worth trying it with less devices plugged in? Not tried it on a gamepad myself yet as keyboard/mouse is smooth.
 
Anyone else stuck on the hack the station mission? I can't see how they tested this at all, just so damn fiddly and pointless, where's even one ounce of enjoyment.

Really rather fed up already with the game, keep hitting walls like this which are down to lack of attention or testing.

Speaking of walls you can get jammed in a vent cover if you move too close to it whilst it opens - then you can't close it to get out and have to load the game again.

Sometimes I think one of the reasons they release unfinished games early is to reduce piracy. It ends up being easier to buy it at a later reduced price, than have to faff around with half a dozen cracked patches that may or may not even work.

easier to pirate that it is to buy it.

should have saved my self £40 and just pirated the game , I would have only had a a couple of hours wait

I was expecting something at least like the other X games not some wannabe fail at a freelancer game

Nope but on my first game it was really hard.
one my second game the mission was easy and nothing attacked me.


if you enter the system and whip your drone out before your ship is attacked your ship should still have full hp and shield when you return to it even if it's being attacked whilst you are in the drone

the hardest mission is the prison transport :P
just find a big ship with a dock you can hide inside on the missions where you have help....

how far did you get? someone put a save game on reddit directly after the 300 food mission. http://www.reddit.com/r/X3TC/comments/1qrsn3/xr_save_file_after_food_delivery_mission/

I got stuck at the food mission and couldn't be bothered to drive around looking for someone that sold food so I grabbed that save game. (gusting spring or whatever it's called right near devries sells the food)

the game also doesn't seem to give you what you need for that mission either as people were hacking cargolifter drones into their savegames so they could do it..

I just grabed that save game , did the money edit on the save and added 20 million so I could get the station building :D

I need to find bigger shields though the 2 stock ones are far to weak for the missions

I used the save game for the food mission due to the bug. I am on the hacking mission and I got bored so I am off doing fighting missions to build up some cash done 4 so far they are all fairly easy.

I am using a xbox pad and I am finding my left index finger is getting worn out with pressing accelerate. My current mission is an escort and I thought I could match speed and auto follow but looking through settings I could not find them. Also where are the keys for next enemy, next target nearest enemy etc?
