For those who aren’t familiar with this game, it’s in the same genre as Mount & Blade, but with spaceships instead of horses. Or Sid Meier’s Pirates, but spaceships instead of pirate ships. Definitely one of those “I’ll just make one more quick cargo run…” type of games.
This update looks great. In additional to new strategy options through diplomacy, they’re also tweaking how ships handle.
You got me at Mount & Blade. I also played 100s of hours of Elite Dangerous, though they seem quite different.
X4 is a mile deep and an inch wide, Elite Dangerous is a mile wide and and an inch deep.
X4 lets you do much more; own, fly and command dozens or hundreds of ships but the play area is much smaller.
X4 has an empire management layer that you can choose to use, it also has lots of mods and you can save and load whenever you want.
Yes, Elite Dangerous focuses the individual side of things while X4 focuses on the management aspect. They ARE quite different but both great games in their own way imho.
I remember when X4 Foundation was crap. Peoples states they will improve it.
It took few years, but they actually make it the best X ever.
Egosoft is a patient gamer company, they always deliver.
