Now, almost 30 years later, many have tried to recapture the essence of Elite: open-ended, freewheeling space trade. I still play it occasionally on my Apple II emulator. Compare it to Anno 2205 vs Anno 1404 or Settlers 2 vs any other Settlers.In 1985 I got hooked on a game called ELITE. If you see so many threads about these you can be sure that the game is more a hussle then joy. People defending the game like "these are trading opportunities" or "it's a real challenge!" or "the performance suck because you don't play on very low settings" or "the AI sucks so you don't automate everything" or "it's not a bug, it's a player fault" and "the UI is not so bad it's just different". You're a fool if you don't let the ACTUAL EMPIRES treat the Xenon's (you know, the guys with a REAL FLEET). You're a fool if you don't invest in ship part's ASAP. However, you're a fool if you don't start with easy-peasy cristal mining. I liked the Freelancer-feeling for mouse-flight and the steps between ships. Compare them with the ALPHA star citizen and you can just laugh about this. However, black market is trash, AI is even more trash, the ships are genuinely ugly compared to X3 and the space legs are good on paper, but Egosoft was never really good at modelling characters and bring interiors to live. X4 has many things people wanted for a sequel, like varied missions, explicit ship roles, crew and a good station builder. You're proud of it, like in the early days of X the Frontiers as you bought your way with only 100cr. If you use Litcube's and/or Mayhem you can FEEL the progression. Why?īecause in X3 you really start as a nobody but advance to a real force in the universe.
In my humble opinion X3 is a more balanced and fun game then X4.

X3AP has a Star Wars mod that I've never used. The Terran War bundle is currently (for about 90 more minutes at the time of posting) on sale for 70% off and I do recommend them, though not as strongly as X4. it's as simple as that but they are still very playable without any mods. If I'm going to play either, it's going to be modded. The X3TC/AP most people are still playing and fondly remembering is the culmination of a decade worth of patches (a fact most choose to ignore) and mods. Space legs though are currently unavoidable in a few cases such as hand picking captains, turning in certain missions, using the inventory traders (and only the inventory traders), moving between ships, and going EVA.

Most of the highways are optional since there are mods that remove them. Things like highways, space legs, and not using the ship models from X3 or X: Rebirth. disagreed with (it's not polite to call it "entitled nerdrage"). X4 is in a tough spot because Egosoft made some design decisions that some members of their playerbase. I even liked Rebirth (insert unpopular_puffin.jpg). This is the bottom line, but it's not the end of the story.

It's more likely to receive updates (the beta for patch 3.3 is currently underway) There's also a Star Wars mod in the works, I haven't been following it but I did see someone post an update on its development the other day.
It's everything that Rebirth should have been (and wasn't) and a better successor to the X name in terms of actual sandbox gameplay.
