A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

So, if I have a better machine. World you suggest X4 over X3?

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldn't really say. There are thing ab X3 that I really missed in X4. I would honestly say to spend some time watching videos ab both games, especially tutorials. If you haven't played any of the X games, this is the best tit bit I can give to give a sense of the game.

For x3 they released a bonus dlc/mod that adds ablut half a dozen pieces of equipment and ship upgrades. Just one of those pieces of equipment, a bit of ship software that lets you set up automatic supplying of multiple factories. Also comes with an IRL 47 page instruction manual...

X3 also got a full fledged free expansion dlc 13 years after its original release.

I would say start with X3 but that's purely out of bias.

Thank you. X3 look like the victor for me for contents. It's like Crusader King 2 that I don't know why would I bother with CK3, because contents and features surpassed its successor.

One of the other nice things ab X3 is there's a crap ton of super detailed tutorials and guides out there. The one down side to X3 is just that some of the links on the Egosoft mod forum are no longer working so some mods are no longer available.

Once you have a handle on the game def look into adding some mods. There's tons from simple QOL mods to basically a complete rework of the game into the star wars universe.
