X4 - Timelines trailer

Still not played the others despite buying all the DLC lol. Might be a good example of a game I think I would really enjoy if only I could be bothered to go through the learning curve.
However, now I got my HOSAS so maybe.

Just had a very quick go with the joysticks, so much more immersive, might be what I need to kickstart me on it because god knows I CBA with the elite dangerous binding issues.
 
Ive played all the x games except the latest one, i have it and all the dlc thats out so far but havent had the motivation get into it yet. I also have just got a full hosas setup which is still in the box as i cba setting it all up yet. Is x4 hosas friendly?

Yes. It can identify separate sticks.

IMO its much better than elite dangerous.

I did play that a few hundred hours as well, but X4 is much better.

I don't see them as the same really, Elite has the on-foot stuff that I have only played the tutorial of which played much like an FPS should, and is more 'simmy', whereas the X series always struck me as a sort of 4x in space/empire building. One minor (but big to me) thing about X4 is that space is actually black/dark, Elite seems too bright.
 
X games really reward those who can sink a lot of time into it, the learning curve is initially steep and the game engine can cripple CPU's (the last game I played was X3:TC, pretty sure the game was single threaded). One of my favourite things to do was setup a Space Weed farm, let it fill up product then allowing one of the AI ships to dock and buy everything. Once they left I would wait nearby with a fighter and a police licence, scan them and start attacking them until they dropped the cargo they just bought from me at which point I would scoop it up and resell it. Worked every time!.
