Anyone have any input as to the current state of this game?
I was a massive X series fan right up until Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude and was looking forward to Rebirth more than any other game I've ever played.
Unfortunately the game was a huge disappointment. Not just in terms of the bugs and lack of stability but what I saw as the extreme dilution of the mechanics and gameplay elements that had become staples of the series.
It felt very much like a console game that had been ported to PC and was incredibly limited in scope compared to its predecessors.
Egosoft are good with patches and free updates though so I was hoping over time it would approach something like what I envisioned from an entry into the X series.
I haven't touched the game since a week or so after release.
- trampi 11y agoI have the same background as you. Preordered it and never played it until now. Something is definitely missing. I played countless hours in X-Tension / X2 / X3 / AP / TC - but X Rebirth is really different. I will play definitely the campaign to its end (even though Egosoft is not really famous for producing deep campaigns). Maybe when the campaign ends the real free game begins... I would say: Give it a try.
- ionised 11y agoI'll have to give it another go once I've waded through some of the other games in my colossal backlog.
- cridenour 11y agoThe pinnacle experience I've had in any X game has been through Litcube's Universe mod for X3AP. X Rebirth definitely isn't true to the rest of the series IMO but isn't a bad game on its own.
