I'm really tempted to get this. I liked your video review but I'm scared to buy it, not like it and it becomes another game to remain in my never ending back log graveyard
@@lootgoblin989 One of the developers here - so definitely biased - but reading this, I had the amusing thought that it could potentially do the opposite and change your backlog of games into a more permanent graveyard :)
Egosoft, big fan of the X series since beyond the frontiers was in the PC Bild Spiele magazin. Can you answer me this, tho: Is it possible to implement a multiplayer. Not an MMO (wich would be amazing but I get it) but only a 8 Player universe. It would be the greatest of great games for me. Pretty please? 🥹
Hey man, your game is pretty good. A bit sketchy at launch, but I can say now that version 7.10 is looking fantastic. My single greastest wish would be for co-op.
Is worth mentioning that X4 is one of the few space sim games where carriers can be used as carriers, as in being able to deploy, retrieve, rearm and repair fighters. Not like the Elite Dangerous variant...and with way better perspective than carriers in EVE Online. By the latter I mean that in X4 you can sit near the landing pads as fighters are being launched and land, and focus view on individual fighters to the point you can see the chap piloting them. Just sit on the bridge of a big ship, and watch as everything around you burns. 😈
The Zeus E can be excused for two reasons for being such a poor carrier: Paranid fighters don't really need to be carried, only the slow Ares or Theseus are slow enough to warrant a carrier, none of the other Military craft need its help, and if used as a Hero Ship, its relatively modest carrying capacity is rather irrelevant. However, not so much with the Colossus E. 28 small ships is too small to count as a carrier, and they are pretty much the worst, except the Eclipse, in its class, if fitted with the AI standard of Mk3 stuff with Mk2 weapons, where its cheaper hull is irrelevant in the total cost, merely a rounding error. It is not going to be used at all, unlike the ZeusE, because if you wanted faster, you'd get the Zeus, and if you wanted to use more ships than the ZeusE has, you'd get the Vanguard Colossus instead, leaving the E variant of this no niche to play in. Or you'd mix and match but that isn't an NPC race option. Personally I'd put 24S docks on the Zeus E (maybe cut an internal dock or two for the M class) 48S on the Colossus E, for any Condor E, I'd make it hold less but make it faster than the Colossus instead. That mostly balances the three races carriers out. Meanwhile I'd give the Behemoth twice the count of internal S docks, but give the Phoenix several more drone units it can carry, the Phoenix is supposedly a more defensive unit that expects to be surrounded hence its wide spread of turrets, and with enough fighters to form up two wings of fighters to set to self defence AND intercept, the Behemoth has a role too. The Odysseus can release a couple of "super heavy" Nemesis on intercept and a couple of fighters set to protect the Nemesis from being swarmed, leaving the Oddy free to do destroyer things, and everyone then has a niche or "normal role" that it is set to play. I think the Atlas E loses a lot of dock space for nowhere near enough, mind, but since it isn't really going to be a carrier, to an extent it doesn't matter, it is just that people who use that docking space will keep using the Sentinel/Vanguard versions, whereas the E version ought to be that it feels an upgrade to either one, if not so much that it feels like it was a waste of money buying the blueprints for it.
This is what people don't notice when they do reviews: the immersion in x4 is rivaled by Skyrim, and it handles scale so well. "Well that looks tiny" until i get in my space suit and it takes me several minutes to dock with the thing in space when i decided not to land on it.
Since the farce of oddessey release in elite dangerous and after 3500 hours playing it over 2 accounts I’ve been looking for something else. I tried star citizen, was ok but couldn’t get into it the same way. NMS wasn’t for me , even bought starfield. I kept coming back to reviews on x4 but every time was put off by it being single player … I took the plunge 3 days ago ….. bad decision …. My girlfriend ain’t seen me, my kids ain’t seen me, hell I’m drinking black coffee as I haven’t even went out for a pint of milk , I’m self employed and have done jack all since getting this game…. It’s a steep learning curve but so was elite and tbf I like that in a game. I alternate from sweaty games like rocket league and r6 where the learning curve is the mechanics to create a skill gap and elite / now x4 where I can switch off and become immersed… haven’t tried timeline as I jumped into the youngun start
"Single Player" is the biggest downside from ED and SC fans that they carry as a badge of honor (without even ever trying X4). Glad you took a leap of faith and are enjoying it. Have fun and enjoy every game you play ❤
i think X4 could benefit from some COOP. The games that really sell are usually PvE multiplayer where there's only a handful of players. Might unbalance the game a little, but nothing will offset the learning curve like having a dude beside you teaching your how to fly and stuff.
Always enjoying you doing these and the answer with X4 is always yes 🙌 I admit there is a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, I almost rage quite a few times, but it was worth it. This is my go to number one space game!
I appreciate this revisit. I loved late-development X3 but hated X4 at launch, but haven't really bothered keeping up with the seemingly endless updates.
X4 is amazing. The thing I struggled with early on is not realizing that while yes, this has all the hallmarks for a space sim sandbox, is that this transitions into an RTS as you get deeper into the game play. it becomes harder to play everything in first person as time goes on and you gather more power and resources.
I’ve started to play X4 on my Steam Deck and handheld and I’m enjoying so far, especially as it’s now on sale. It doesn’t run brilliantly on the Steam Deck but I get mid 20 FPS most of the time and it’s enough for me to have a good time. I would recommend.
@rremnar dude, he said on Steam Deck. Do you know how much power this game requires?! To run this on Steam Deck at all is quite a feat. Plus what does 2024 has to do with 60fps?! It was standard even in 2000s
Well X4 handheld in bed is a winner for me… and I can live with a few FPS drops and other funnies every now and again just to be able to fly in space. :)
I just bought it on sale, and I'm still doing the training timelines with about 12 hrs in but it's apparent that this is a bad-ass game. It smokes Starfield
Well - I both have Starfield and X4: Foundations, and I play them both. I have played the X series from the start in 1999 with X - Beyond The Frontier, and have played and enjoyed all games released since then (yes, I even enjoyed the "black sheep" X - Rebirth). It's mind boggling how far the X series have developed and how massive they have become since that very start with X - Beyond The Frontier... And let's face it - Starfield is not in any way comparable to X: Foundations. It's a completely different type of game. Starfield is a story driven, RPG-like game that happens to play in a space environment. Nothing more, nothing less. It never was meant to be a "space" game to start with. Space is just the environment where the RPG-like game play takes place, but it was never meant to be a space game in the sense that the core play is flying around an fighting with ships. The ships and space environment is more comparable to the horse and carriage and roads in Skyrim. Just a means of transportation from the one RPG hub to the other, with a bit of fighting along the way... Anyway - I love both X4: Foundations and Starfield, but both for very different reasons....
X4 is one of my favourite games of all time. Right up there with X3 and it's expansions. Can't wait to see what Egosoft does in the future, whether new DLC or new games.
@@Nyxson As soon as I updated to 7.0 all the UI elements were available externally compared to previous versions. It could be a setting possibly that you need to enable but mine just started doing that. I noticed because I had to use third person view to actually finish the timelines missions
Thank you at 2:12 pretty much said what i needed ya too and helped me make my mind up on NOT buying the game. Been hoping around reviews and wasn't really seeing what i needed to. You described Mount and Blade and that instantly made my stomach feel upside down.
Hey man, I saw this post up on my feed and I didn't click it but it prompted me to come back to X4 after not playing for like a year and its been incredible, especially with performance improvements. Just wanted to give you a thanks for that, left a like as well.
Great Video, I enjoyed timelines as I enjoy the story in X4, and it was really fun to go back to events of the past and be part of them. But I respect and understand why it's not for everyone especially it's quite the opposite to the base game and it handles. 7.0 was really amazing the amount of work they put into it was really awesome.
I put off buying this game for years. Was not disappointed when I did. I think saying it's mount and blade in space is actually an insult to the game 😂 mount and blade doesn't come close to the depth of the gameplay in X4. What blew me away about this game is that its a proper space sim sandbox with both micro and macro gameplay. You could easily play this game as a solo character, completing quests, fighting, trading, salvaging, mining, getting better ships and siding with factions or being a pirate. This in itself is a full game. But then very easily you could create a squad or even a fleet changing up the game entirely with larger battles. Up from that you can delve into space stations, either for your own profit or to start your own faction and empire. Making it a full blown strategy game. Except unlike total war for example, your empire could be completely peaceful, you don't have to engage in war. But, you can still influence the wars by building an industrial empire, and trading with certain factions to sway wars in their favour. It's definitely rough around the edges, NPC's suck, and many quality of life improvements could be made ranging from the UI to little things like how you command ships and setup autotrading etc. However, this is an indie studio. They're not backed by huge amounts of money. And they've achieved as much in one game as the 'AAA' market would in 3 or 4 games. And even relatively simple games by big developers end up rough, buggy, moneygrabbing, or just downright bad.
It's currently at a crazy low sale for this next week and it's been on my radar for a little bit because I enjoyed Elite Dangerous and this gave me enough confidence to buy the $45 dlc bundle. I do love some Mount and Blade so I'll try a Mount and Blade in Space.
I loved X3 back in the day and had consoles for the past 10, 15 years but getting a pc next month this will be a must for me i think, I loved the original Elite (yes i'm that old) and elite frontier, but could not get into elite dangerous like i did with x3.
for me, m+kb is much better than my hotas+rudder setup. mainly because as soon as i do any rudder input my throttle gets completely ignored and everythign on it set to zero, essentially. did bug reports on it but haven't even gotten a single "we'll look into it" from the devs, so yeah...
watched your videos of this game, then the steam sales and I said Fu** it, base game and COH dlc (at least for now) NOW to start the adventure. Wish me luck
@@Nyxson Singleplayer is perfect. i play elite also that way. But with Elite I invested all that time watch tutorials. What I don't like btw. Is just something that you need to do. And I don't look forward starting all that again for another game. But Even after learning all the Elite stuff. And finally able to play that game as it should. The game is really not all that great. What I did not know prior to learning all that shit. I like Starfield the game that people love to hate. But I like it. But the game does sort of end at some point. So I guess I search for something that sits in the middle.
@@Nyxson lmao. Thx Nyxson. Its currently on sale on steam for $17.99. I came close to buying starfield new for $22 until I found your video on x4 (which I've never heard of before now) and it made me think. I have never played a space sim before and would very much so appreciate your opinion. I know YOU like the game and I know it will take time to get used to it but is it a game a rookie can start playing if he's looking for something to dive into? It says playable on steamdeck with small lettering being the only issue. I was never into pc's so the steam deck gives me flexibility to play games not on nintendo or xbox. I'm going to use your link to instant-gaming every time to help out your channel brother.
It's not too well optimized on Deck or Linux yet, tbh. If you're willing to follow some of the tweaks from ProtonDB, you can get it to a reasonable performance capped at 30, but with severe frame drops (10-15fps) during very large battles. Some other drawbacks include minuscule text and some controller support issues.
I saw this on sale on Steam the other day and once again started reading reviews. Even the most positive reviews are saying this game has a steep learning curve and most importantly the UI is a mess. One of those reviews said it took him 50+ hours just to start to get an understanding of the game. Would you say these statements are true?
Yes and no. Depends on who you are and how much you play the game. With updated tutorials, I say it will take 10 hours on average to understand most mechanics except for endgame
It depends, but for me in 6.XX it was one session of something close to 12h and I pretty much had all the important stuff figured out. Building stations can be a bit daunting but as long as you have some patience to look up what you need to produce things, and start from the bottom of the chain working up, it's honestly not that complicated.
None of it is true, the "bad UI" is mostly a meme produced by people expecting a windows-like UI so they don't have to learn anything. Its UI is more UNIX like. The accusation of steep learning curve is because it is being expected to learn by powering through "like other games", and that isn't what is expected. It expects a lot of time (like Microsoft Flight Simulator) to be in it, and if that time IS spent and IS available TO spend (and many do not, either because of other commitments or better fun-per-hour playing 10 games rather than this one), then the curve to learn isn't steep, merely long. Like REALLY long. It isn't a game you will play 20-50 hours and then be 100% complete and in the end game. Which is bad for reviewers or people just buying "because sale is on" FOMO or epeening about, because the reviewers have a limited time budget and a game that doesn't get you most of the way through its learning curve in 20 hours can't be reasonably reviewed even on easy mode or speedrunning, and for the latter people, long before they have enough time to get comfy in this game they either have another new hotness to play instead or a new sale is on so FOMOing again. If you are getting it only because "it is on steam sale", then don't get it, you haven't got the time to invest in this to find out what you like and what you don't like, so it will be all dislike. If you are getting it on steam sale because you don't KNOW if you will "grok" this game, then get the base game on sale IF YOU CAN THROW 20+ HOURS AWAY just as a learning exercise, but if you can't afford to spend that amount of time JUST TO FIND OUT, then nope out not because it's bad but because you don't have enough spare time to invest. This isn't Freelancer2 or Star Wars Outlaws etc, and it gives you more to do than Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous so its UI necessarily has more in it, because the UI has to make 100% of what you can do available or you can't do it at all. Freelancer 2 or Outlaws can be learned in 10 hours, getting good at it can take 20-50 hours. Learning Elite or SC's UI can take 10 hours, and then 10 more to learn its gameplay loops, and getting good can take hundreds of hours. X4 has more in it, and more possible to learn how to do. But if you try to learn or get good in 1 hour, you'd fail on all of these games. Doom's UI and getting good at it can be done in an hours concentrated play. The steepness of the learning curve depends on how you expected to be able to play, not the game itself.
Hey bro old player here (5years ago) how about the reason we dont play this back then, the broken AI, broken auto trade, AI faction war broken feels lifeless mindless AI that attack eachother piecemeal, lack of content, depth, economy broken (hard start but once rolling its super easy) & galaxy feels lifeless in general. any of those remedied?. (Edit: i love X series btw)
I can't really tell you, because it can be subjective. I feel the difference between 7.0 and 3.0 (when I started playing X4), some say they still hate it (because of how broken it still feels for them). For me personally, Yes, there are still issues with AI, but much less than before. Overall, I think it is a good time for you to return
Yeah for all the grat things it has its weaknesses, but its made by a small company just about 50 people and there are gamesmade by big triple A studios with much bigger bufgets and more manpower who delivered far worse products. I thought i should mention this because seriously what a samll german studio delivered is quiet impressiv.
X4 DLC Guide: if you are cherry picking the DLCs, forget Timelines. Get Cradle of Humanity, Split Vendetta and Tides of Avarice, in that order. Then Kingdom End.
first time hearing of it, but int he first minute i saw a banu defender, a vanduul scythe, and a drake catepillar lol.........................................................................................
I was able to figure out Eve Online, Elite Dangerous, and other sand box games. I couldn't figure this game out, ontop of dealing with poor performance at the start. So unless they changed their engine and added more options for scaling, this is still a none playable game to me.
yesh, but you'll have to get creatice with keybindings (it has some kinda radial menu, but no idea how good that really is, so pinch of salt and all that)...
After hearing that the game is for a single player, my mood changed about it. Having such a wide range of things without having to deal with the morons on duty in online games is something very good. Even with that, I don't know if 50 dollars are worth it
And you don't need ANY of them for the gameplay mechanics (just for additional campaigns and sectors), with the exception of Timelines. For everything else base game is more than enough
Argon Nova and Minotaur are both quite bad, slow and not all that well armed, and so both only "work" if used to overwhelm with low quality Mk1 stuff that is cheap to make, the Collossus E ought to carry more in internal docking, say 10M and 48S. That then allows a space for the Condor E if it were to arrive able to carry 6-8M (because the Peregrine is fast and well shielded) and possibly only 32-36S because the Falcon is well shielded but slow, the Condor could be just made fast, for Teladi capital ships, so as to put an expensive engine on the carrier instead of all those fighters. The Zeus-E is so much faster that it might get away with such a relatively small dock, since the Paranid don't really NEED a carrier, and their carrier is a niche use for close support or a "Hero Ship", negating the need for carrying all that many. The Behemoth ought to be upped, mind, like twice or more the number of ships, to make up for it being protected by weaker ships, and the Phoenix being more a defensive arm, maybe balance it with more drones that are a cheap alternative to fighters. As to the Large Freighters of E class, if they carry as much as the Sentinel and as fast as the Vanguard, then the loss of the silly 40S docking capacity is really irrelevant, that dock is only for Lasertowers and Drones Mk2. It is the cases where the Sentinel carries more or the Vanguard is faster that losing the "option" of a swarm of 40 small ships makes a real difference. The Heron E is slow, but still manages to carry a LOT more than the Sentinel version, and so maybe the other variants would never be missed, but the others? Not so much. That is really the basis for the "not a carrier" E types: make it so "almost nobody" will miss the Vanguard or Sentinel by concentrating on something more important than a silly swarm of fighters. However carriers are meant to carry. The builders don't make any sense for the variants, they carry a lot more drones but still have that silly tardis docking cutnpaste 10/40, but that is as far as I can see the result of changing the builders in-place. As it is, you could pick the new variants so a faster Paranid one that has fewer drones or a slower Teladi one that has more drones, but in no way would you ever bother with the base game H looking builder that is left. If the newer looking builders could not have the tardis docking, then the base model one still has a "point", even if that point relies on tardis docks or seriously suspending belief. However, as I put it for the Argon, it ought to be that the AI desire is for more, but cheaper, fighters/frigates/gunships for the Argon fleets and missions, asking for 15 instead of 10 fighters, but asking for Mk2 or Mk1 shields instead, etc. As it is, the Argon have the worst fighting fleet, because instead of doing a more efficient zerg rush they field expensive Mk3 everything ships that then make the cheaper hulls utterly irrelevant. the only "good" ship the Argon have is the Eclipse, a heavy fighter that is fairly well rounded for its class. But it has the Elite, armed like a scout, fast as a heavy fighter, and so the worst in the class for actual fighters, the Nova which is barely better than a Falcon, the latter of which can carry two shields rather than just one, and the Minotaur which is slow and poorly shielded, all three of which are only worth putting cheaper and more cost effective Mk1 stuff on it so that its cheaper hull actually makes a difference in both time and cost. The Zeus ought to be replaced by a smaller subcarrier that just takes 12 or 16 fighters on board, the Boron need something that can actually take out a station or capital ship, neither of which were problems in Boron space because THOSE only produced fighter class stuff, but that is no longer the case. The Argon need to get a better AI choice to Zerg instead, except possibly the Eclipse, or alternatively get a built-in missile launcher so that you could choose a missile over speed or an extra shield, at least up to M class anyway. The Teladi had the worst traders but that is no longer the case and are at least (absent any pretence of cheapness) now balanced lore-wise with defensive military assets and capacious traders. Split are well armoured and gun-heavy, and the Terrans are given some good ships that are only really let down by being expensive, though they really need to have something beam like for both turrets and main weapons that are solid performers to make them capable militarily. The Callisto IMO ought to be faster to turn. The Split and Paranid courier class are faster and likewise two-weaponed along with having more cargo space, so the Callisto if given a significant buff to turn rates makes a good "starter ship" that can turn often enough that you'd take it in to a fight against an AI or two voluntarily. It's slow, but cheap, and so very much more niche and quickly grow out of it to the Courier or Tethys/Tuatara for more space and speed but not needing much more than 2000 cargo. The Magpie is still slow, but carrying 3000 instead, it makes a good food/medicine runner.
If the Argon are given a "free" built in fixed function missile launcher, and an upped missile count for the Minotaur, it "feels" appropriate to me to do it this way: Elite Sentinel: Torpedo missile launcher. Quite dangerous, suprisingly so, for large ships that can't avoid the torpedoes. Elite Vanguard: Tracking missile launcher. The Vanguard variant is therefore stronger against smaller ships. Nova Sentinel: Dumbfire launcher. Those are used against stations or if backed up with other fighters, the capitals that can't necessarily avoid dumbfires, and they are cheap to make. Nova Vanguard: Tracking. Again, these variants are supposed to be for fighter combats. Minotaur Sentinel: Torpedoes. They would then, with more missiles to its name, be anti-capital bombers. Minotaur Vanguard: Dumbfire. Pit those against stations and plink at range, and they are then quite useful as an agressive arm. Cerebus Sentinel: Tracking. Because they stand back, tracking will be used to fire off missiles while drones are delivered. Cerebus Vanguard: Torpedo. Or Tracking. Either works, torpedoes are more an anti-capital thing, whilst tracking are anti-fighter. Neither Cerebus variants are thirsty for a missile, mind, the Gorgon is clearly better, but compared to the Teladi Osprey, it appears to be fairly balanced, but since the Gorgon and Nemesis are both solid M class military but neither carry many drones, it can be in a different use-case than the Cerebus and Osprey, and so doesn't compete per se with them.
Yes. X4 carriers are way larger though and have up to 121 fighters for the largest variant. You could even join the fighter wing yourself. Unlike protoss they actually launch from landing pads too. Owning a carrier and stocking it is very lategame though. Drones exist too and can be launched from any L and XL ships and some M ships. They are rather weak. Carriers launch flyable fighters.
So? Maybe I don't want to put a giant, hot helmet in the middle of the summer. Also, whatever you said sounds exactly like “Keyboard in a Gamepad era”… No one ever canceled one or another
@@Lucpol1986 It is kind of niche but for space sims theres nothing better. Pair it with Joy+throtle and Voice recognition soft like voice attack and there is no better immersion known in gaming imo..
dude you are all over the place. You are babbling with no structure, no idea what you want to say so you are saying 10 things at the same time...this is not how you do a review. Get some structure, get some pacing, have a begining and an end...
Star Citizen is way better . They have multiplayer. Who the hell wants to fight AI? I never ever could understand that. Its like fighting something thats fake. I like fighting against other peoples skills.
Very early alpha and fluid core mechanics at present (including air to air combat). Otherwise SC can be enjoyed in short bursts. SC falls under a completely different genre as well, so can’t compare imho and not certain why you would want to. Compare it with Spacebourne 2 etc. instead 👍🏾
Nah this game is still shit. When a builder with plenty of funds is supposed to go get the materials to build with and it just sits there with an hourglass is just useless. The AI is broken. At some point or another ships you own that are assigned tasks just stop working. It's 7.0 and it's still and issue which to me is unplayable. I want to like it but it's trash. it always has been.

You guys really nailed the last 4 DLC, what happened with Timelines?
Will you be addressing the issue in a post?
Just started for the first time. Love it
Egosoft, big fan of the X series since beyond the frontiers was in the PC Bild Spiele magazin.
Can you answer me this, tho:
Is it possible to implement a multiplayer. Not an MMO (wich would be amazing but I get it) but only a 8 Player universe.
It would be the greatest of great games for me. Pretty please? 🥹
Hey man, your game is pretty good. A bit sketchy at launch, but I can say now that version 7.10 is looking fantastic.
My single greastest wish would be for co-op.
Is worth mentioning that X4 is one of the few space sim games where carriers can be used as carriers, as in being able to deploy, retrieve, rearm and repair fighters.
Not like the Elite Dangerous variant...and with way better perspective than carriers in EVE Online. By the latter I mean that in X4 you can sit near the landing pads as fighters are being launched and land, and focus view on individual fighters to the point you can see the chap piloting them. Just sit on the bridge of a big ship, and watch as everything around you burns. 😈
The Zeus E can be excused for two reasons for being such a poor carrier: Paranid fighters don't really need to be carried, only the slow Ares or Theseus are slow enough to warrant a carrier, none of the other Military craft need its help, and if used as a Hero Ship, its relatively modest carrying capacity is rather irrelevant. However, not so much with the Colossus E. 28 small ships is too small to count as a carrier, and they are pretty much the worst, except the Eclipse, in its class, if fitted with the AI standard of Mk3 stuff with Mk2 weapons, where its cheaper hull is irrelevant in the total cost, merely a rounding error. It is not going to be used at all, unlike the ZeusE, because if you wanted faster, you'd get the Zeus, and if you wanted to use more ships than the ZeusE has, you'd get the Vanguard Colossus instead, leaving the E variant of this no niche to play in. Or you'd mix and match but that isn't an NPC race option.
Personally I'd put 24S docks on the Zeus E (maybe cut an internal dock or two for the M class) 48S on the Colossus E, for any Condor E, I'd make it hold less but make it faster than the Colossus instead. That mostly balances the three races carriers out.
Meanwhile I'd give the Behemoth twice the count of internal S docks, but give the Phoenix several more drone units it can carry, the Phoenix is supposedly a more defensive unit that expects to be surrounded hence its wide spread of turrets, and with enough fighters to form up two wings of fighters to set to self defence AND intercept, the Behemoth has a role too. The Odysseus can release a couple of "super heavy" Nemesis on intercept and a couple of fighters set to protect the Nemesis from being swarmed, leaving the Oddy free to do destroyer things, and everyone then has a niche or "normal role" that it is set to play.
I think the Atlas E loses a lot of dock space for nowhere near enough, mind, but since it isn't really going to be a carrier, to an extent it doesn't matter, it is just that people who use that docking space will keep using the Sentinel/Vanguard versions, whereas the E version ought to be that it feels an upgrade to either one, if not so much that it feels like it was a waste of money buying the blueprints for it.
This is what people don't notice when they do reviews: the immersion in x4 is rivaled by Skyrim, and it handles scale so well. "Well that looks tiny" until i get in my space suit and it takes me several minutes to dock with the thing in space when i decided not to land on it.

"Single Player" is the biggest downside from ED and SC fans that they carry as a badge of honor (without even ever trying X4). Glad you took a leap of faith and are enjoying it.
Have fun and enjoy every game you play ❤
you got kids and have girlfriend as well?? wow gotta have very goodlife man
i think X4 could benefit from some COOP. The games that really sell are usually PvE multiplayer where there's only a handful of players. Might unbalance the game a little, but nothing will offset the learning curve like having a dude beside you teaching your how to fly and stuff.
Just started playing a few weeks ago. Immediately addicted. It’s not easy at first but I think that’s part of what makes it so great.
That Steam Summer Sale just started and X4 and all of its expansions are in a bundle on sale for $46.14 and the standalone game is $14.99.
Man, this is the only single player game that I love so much. Second place to this would be Kingdom Come Deliverance
Thank you for the feedback, it is one of those game I was not sure about, I will buy it on sale and give it a try
Always enjoying you doing these and the answer with X4 is always yes 🙌 I admit there is a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, I almost rage quite a few times, but it was worth it. This is my go to number one space game!
I appreciate this revisit. I loved late-development X3 but hated X4 at launch, but haven't really bothered keeping up with the seemingly endless updates.
You will definitely enjoy it now❤
X4 is amazing. The thing I struggled with early on is not realizing that while yes, this has all the hallmarks for a space sim sandbox, is that this transitions into an RTS as you get deeper into the game play. it becomes harder to play everything in first person as time goes on and you gather more power and resources.
Timelines was pretty ruff as a new player. The tutorials are great. Sandbox starts were very approachable. Nice video, very accurately explained.
Saw this game on sale on Steam recently and went to TH-cam to check out some gameplay. Just bought the game, thank you for this review man!
I’ve started to play X4 on my Steam Deck and handheld and I’m enjoying so far, especially as it’s now on sale. It doesn’t run brilliantly on the Steam Deck but I get mid 20 FPS most of the time and it’s enough for me to have a good time. I would recommend.
Never knew you could actually play it on a deck...
20 fps is what I'd expect from a potato lol. This is 2024, 60 fps is standard, and you shouldn't tolerate any less.
@rremnar dude, he said on Steam Deck. Do you know how much power this game requires?! To run this on Steam Deck at all is quite a feat.
Plus what does 2024 has to do with 60fps?! It was standard even in 2000s
Well X4 handheld in bed is a winner for me… and I can live with a few FPS drops and other funnies every now and again just to be able to fly in space. :)
I just bought it on sale, and I'm still doing the training timelines with about 12 hrs in but it's apparent that this is a bad-ass game. It smokes Starfield
Not even CLOSE!
Well - I both have Starfield and X4: Foundations, and I play them both.
I have played the X series from the start in 1999 with X - Beyond The Frontier, and have played and enjoyed all games released since then (yes, I even enjoyed the "black sheep" X - Rebirth). It's mind boggling how far the X series have developed and how massive they have become since that very start with X - Beyond The Frontier...
And let's face it - Starfield is not in any way comparable to X: Foundations. It's a completely different type of game. Starfield is a story driven, RPG-like game that happens to play in a space environment. Nothing more, nothing less. It never was meant to be a "space" game to start with. Space is just the environment where the RPG-like game play takes place, but it was never meant to be a space game in the sense that the core play is flying around an fighting with ships. The ships and space environment is more comparable to the horse and carriage and roads in Skyrim. Just a means of transportation from the one RPG hub to the other, with a bit of fighting along the way...
Anyway - I love both X4: Foundations and Starfield, but both for very different reasons....
Different genre to Starfield imho. Both scratch a different itch imho 👍🏾
@@Lucpol1986 doesn't matter. Starfield is dogshit in its own genre.
@@methamphetamememcmeth3422 Hooray to subjectivity eh pal?👍🏾
X4 is one of my favourite games of all time. Right up there with X3 and it's expansions. Can't wait to see what Egosoft does in the future, whether new DLC or new games.
For Me X4 is really the very best space game except for the NPCs. In 2024 they will need to use better interactions with the NPCs.
Starting my first playthrough today! Thanks for the info big mo ❤
A very good review ! Its on sale so ill probably end up getting it !
Since 7.0 you can do everything in 3rd person ship view now as well
Pretty much yeah, except for me I didn't have all the UI elements when I was playing with head tracking. Maybe it was just my issue
@@Nyxson As soon as I updated to 7.0 all the UI elements were available externally compared to previous versions. It could be a setting possibly that you need to enable but mine just started doing that. I noticed because I had to use third person view to actually finish the timelines missions
Long story short, you convinced me. I just bought the Community of Planets Edition via your link. Great video.
Thank you and I appreciate your support ❤ Enjoy the game ❤❤❤
Awesome! I just bought the Community planet edition with your link!
❤️❤️❤️
Just started getting into this game and it's great, I got a couple workshop things that enhance the base game
Thank you at 2:12 pretty much said what i needed ya too and helped me make my mind up on NOT buying the game. Been hoping around reviews and wasn't really seeing what i needed to. You described Mount and Blade and that instantly made my stomach feel upside down.
Exactly the Video I needed! Because of the Steam Sale right now I was considering buying and now I'm downloading it.
Yhup. Same lol.
This game is great, I only recently bought it after having only played the original X yeaaars ago. I am seriously loving it.
Going to get it! Will report after I finish my current stellaris play through
Hey man, I saw this post up on my feed and I didn't click it but it prompted me to come back to X4 after not playing for like a year and its been incredible, especially with performance improvements. Just wanted to give you a thanks for that, left a like as well.
Great Video, I enjoyed timelines as I enjoy the story in X4, and it was really fun to go back to events of the past and be part of them. But I respect and understand why it's not for everyone especially it's quite the opposite to the base game and it handles. 7.0 was really amazing the amount of work they put into it was really awesome.
X4 is the best game ever.
I put off buying this game for years. Was not disappointed when I did.
I think saying it's mount and blade in space is actually an insult to the game 😂 mount and blade doesn't come close to the depth of the gameplay in X4.
What blew me away about this game is that its a proper space sim sandbox with both micro and macro gameplay. You could easily play this game as a solo character, completing quests, fighting, trading, salvaging, mining, getting better ships and siding with factions or being a pirate. This in itself is a full game.
But then very easily you could create a squad or even a fleet changing up the game entirely with larger battles.
Up from that you can delve into space stations, either for your own profit or to start your own faction and empire. Making it a full blown strategy game. Except unlike total war for example, your empire could be completely peaceful, you don't have to engage in war. But, you can still influence the wars by building an industrial empire, and trading with certain factions to sway wars in their favour.
It's definitely rough around the edges, NPC's suck, and many quality of life improvements could be made ranging from the UI to little things like how you command ships and setup autotrading etc.
However, this is an indie studio. They're not backed by huge amounts of money. And they've achieved as much in one game as the 'AAA' market would in 3 or 4 games. And even relatively simple games by big developers end up rough, buggy, moneygrabbing, or just downright bad.
Can it be played with a controller, or is a keyboard required?
好玩，再优化新手教程和增加登录星球就完美了！😋
It's currently at a crazy low sale for this next week and it's been on my radar for a little bit because I enjoyed Elite Dangerous and this gave me enough confidence to buy the $45 dlc bundle. I do love some Mount and Blade so I'll try a Mount and Blade in Space.
I loved X3 back in the day and had consoles for the past 10, 15 years but getting a pc next month this will be a must for me i think, I loved the original Elite (yes i'm that old) and elite frontier, but could not get into elite dangerous like i did with x3.
Thx for review. I’m buying it for 15 euros 😊
solid video. thank you sir.
you had me in mount & blade in space, still watched the rest for the info
There's nothing quite like X4. Is always worth playing any year 👌🏼
for me, m+kb is much better than my hotas+rudder setup. mainly because as soon as i do any rudder input my throttle gets completely ignored and everythign on it set to zero, essentially. did bug reports on it but haven't even gotten a single "we'll look into it" from the devs, so yeah...
the only thing that holds this game back is a multiplayer portion
watched your videos of this game, then the steam sales and I said Fu** it, base game and COH dlc (at least for now) NOW to start the adventure.
Wish me luck
Enjoy your adventure ❤️
So would you recommend this over ELite Dangerous? And the learning curve is huge I imagine right?
Yes... And YES! Unless the only thing you are looking in game is multiplayer...
@@Nyxson Singleplayer is perfect. i play elite also that way. But with Elite I invested all that time watch tutorials. What I don't like btw. Is just something that you need to do. And I don't look forward starting all that again for another game. But Even after learning all the Elite stuff. And finally able to play that game as it should. The game is really not all that great. What I did not know prior to learning all that shit. I like Starfield the game that people love to hate. But I like it. But the game does sort of end at some point. So I guess I search for something that sits in the middle.
@janklaasen1014 Have you tried Everspace 2?
@@Nyxson no. but is that not more like a arcade shooter? I do like a game that you can keep on playing.
sold a copy looks great
Peak space sim
FACT!
Does it support VR?
Is it me or is this better than starfield? I wonder how it will do my steam deck.
Everything is better than Starfield when comes to space games. Starfield is basically a Fallout with Space Skin. X4 is PROPER Space Sim
@@Nyxson lmao. Thx Nyxson. Its currently on sale on steam for $17.99. I came close to buying starfield new for $22 until I found your video on x4 (which I've never heard of before now) and it made me think. I have never played a space sim before and would very much so appreciate your opinion. I know YOU like the game and I know it will take time to get used to it but is it a game a rookie can start playing if he's looking for something to dive into? It says playable on steamdeck with small lettering being the only issue. I was never into pc's so the steam deck gives me flexibility to play games not on nintendo or xbox. I'm going to use your link to instant-gaming every time to help out your channel brother.
❤️❤️❤️
It's not too well optimized on Deck or Linux yet, tbh. If you're willing to follow some of the tweaks from ProtonDB, you can get it to a reasonable performance capped at 30, but with severe frame drops (10-15fps) during very large battles.
Some other drawbacks include minuscule text and some controller support issues.
@@lennymarinez You can change the size of the letters in the options menu, not sure if it will solve the steam deck issue though...
base game is now £11 on steam ( $13.96 ) runs out in like 30 odd hours i think 🤔
This is the most accurate "worth playing" video about X4 I've seen.
I saw this on sale on Steam the other day and once again started reading reviews. Even the most positive reviews are saying this game has a steep learning curve and most importantly the UI is a mess. One of those reviews said it took him 50+ hours just to start to get an understanding of the game. Would you say these statements are true?
Yes and no. Depends on who you are and how much you play the game. With updated tutorials, I say it will take 10 hours on average to understand most mechanics except for endgame
It depends, but for me in 6.XX it was one session of something close to 12h and I pretty much had all the important stuff figured out. Building stations can be a bit daunting but as long as you have some patience to look up what you need to produce things, and start from the bottom of the chain working up, it's honestly not that complicated.
None of it is true, the "bad UI" is mostly a meme produced by people expecting a windows-like UI so they don't have to learn anything. Its UI is more UNIX like. The accusation of steep learning curve is because it is being expected to learn by powering through "like other games", and that isn't what is expected. It expects a lot of time (like Microsoft Flight Simulator) to be in it, and if that time IS spent and IS available TO spend (and many do not, either because of other commitments or better fun-per-hour playing 10 games rather than this one), then the curve to learn isn't steep, merely long. Like REALLY long. It isn't a game you will play 20-50 hours and then be 100% complete and in the end game. Which is bad for reviewers or people just buying "because sale is on" FOMO or epeening about, because the reviewers have a limited time budget and a game that doesn't get you most of the way through its learning curve in 20 hours can't be reasonably reviewed even on easy mode or speedrunning, and for the latter people, long before they have enough time to get comfy in this game they either have another new hotness to play instead or a new sale is on so FOMOing again.
If you are getting it only because "it is on steam sale", then don't get it, you haven't got the time to invest in this to find out what you like and what you don't like, so it will be all dislike. If you are getting it on steam sale because you don't KNOW if you will "grok" this game, then get the base game on sale IF YOU CAN THROW 20+ HOURS AWAY just as a learning exercise, but if you can't afford to spend that amount of time JUST TO FIND OUT, then nope out not because it's bad but because you don't have enough spare time to invest.
This isn't Freelancer2 or Star Wars Outlaws etc, and it gives you more to do than Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous so its UI necessarily has more in it, because the UI has to make 100% of what you can do available or you can't do it at all. Freelancer 2 or Outlaws can be learned in 10 hours, getting good at it can take 20-50 hours. Learning Elite or SC's UI can take 10 hours, and then 10 more to learn its gameplay loops, and getting good can take hundreds of hours. X4 has more in it, and more possible to learn how to do. But if you try to learn or get good in 1 hour, you'd fail on all of these games. Doom's UI and getting good at it can be done in an hours concentrated play. The steepness of the learning curve depends on how you expected to be able to play, not the game itself.
It's on sale for 15$ right now as of 6/25/2024 and will end in two days!
Does it run well on laptop?
Hey bro old player here (5years ago) how about the reason we dont play this back then, the broken AI, broken auto trade, AI faction war broken feels lifeless mindless AI that attack eachother piecemeal, lack of content, depth, economy broken (hard start but once rolling its super easy) & galaxy feels lifeless in general. any of those remedied?. (Edit: i love X series btw)
I can't really tell you, because it can be subjective. I feel the difference between 7.0 and 3.0 (when I started playing X4), some say they still hate it (because of how broken it still feels for them).
For me personally, Yes, there are still issues with AI, but much less than before.
Overall, I think it is a good time for you to return
Short answer:
yes
Long answer:
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
I have owened this game for years!! But it keeps crashing..tried everyhing.. but no go. sigh.
Yeah for all the grat things it has its weaknesses, but its made by a small company just about 50 people and there are gamesmade by big triple A studios with much bigger bufgets and more manpower who delivered far worse products. I thought i should mention this because seriously what a samll german studio delivered is quiet impressiv.
can I only play as a merc and not go through the whole micromanagement?
Of course
Timelines is for people that want to see Ban Danna again
X4 DLC Guide: if you are cherry picking the DLCs, forget Timelines. Get Cradle of Humanity, Split Vendetta and Tides of Avarice, in that order. Then Kingdom End.
Pretty much spot on. Except for do not forget Timelines, just get it after all these expansions
summer sale makes "base game with dlcZ" 40 bucks, hell yes
first time hearing of it, but int he first minute i saw a banu defender, a vanduul scythe, and a drake catepillar lol.........................................................................................
I don't understand this game abought it back in 22 and have no idea what to do. :/ Ended up going back to Eve Online.
Replay the tutorials. They updated it and it is much easier to understand what to do (certainly easier than EVE)
It's kenshi in space
Can you be a PMC as well?
I was able to figure out Eve Online, Elite Dangerous, and other sand box games. I couldn't figure this game out, ontop of dealing with poor performance at the start. So unless they changed their engine and added more options for scaling, this is still a none playable game to me.
Every major version had engine improvements. 6.0 swapped the entire physics engine and 7.0 added TAA.
This game reminds me of space engineers
Can I play this with a Gamepad?
yesh, but you'll have to get creatice with keybindings (it has some kinda radial menu, but no idea how good that really is, so pinch of salt and all that)...
will my rx580 get it right?😭😭😭😭
After hearing that the game is for a single player, my mood changed about it. Having such a wide range of things without having to deal with the morons on duty in online games is something very good. Even with that, I don't know if 50 dollars are worth it
On sale right now
God would love to play this so many DLC's tho
And you don't need ANY of them for the gameplay mechanics (just for additional campaigns and sectors), with the exception of Timelines. For everything else base game is more than enough
Bad thing about combat in X4 is that playing it RTS style is better than being there yourself. Your AI Shits yourself when you are within the area.
Playing this on my asus Rog ally and it goes in
Hard - no diddy
Now you make me want to get ROG Ally... 😁
Argon Nova and Minotaur are both quite bad, slow and not all that well armed, and so both only "work" if used to overwhelm with low quality Mk1 stuff that is cheap to make, the Collossus E ought to carry more in internal docking, say 10M and 48S. That then allows a space for the Condor E if it were to arrive able to carry 6-8M (because the Peregrine is fast and well shielded) and possibly only 32-36S because the Falcon is well shielded but slow, the Condor could be just made fast, for Teladi capital ships, so as to put an expensive engine on the carrier instead of all those fighters. The Zeus-E is so much faster that it might get away with such a relatively small dock, since the Paranid don't really NEED a carrier, and their carrier is a niche use for close support or a "Hero Ship", negating the need for carrying all that many.
The Behemoth ought to be upped, mind, like twice or more the number of ships, to make up for it being protected by weaker ships, and the Phoenix being more a defensive arm, maybe balance it with more drones that are a cheap alternative to fighters.
As to the Large Freighters of E class, if they carry as much as the Sentinel and as fast as the Vanguard, then the loss of the silly 40S docking capacity is really irrelevant, that dock is only for Lasertowers and Drones Mk2. It is the cases where the Sentinel carries more or the Vanguard is faster that losing the "option" of a swarm of 40 small ships makes a real difference. The Heron E is slow, but still manages to carry a LOT more than the Sentinel version, and so maybe the other variants would never be missed, but the others? Not so much.
That is really the basis for the "not a carrier" E types: make it so "almost nobody" will miss the Vanguard or Sentinel by concentrating on something more important than a silly swarm of fighters. However carriers are meant to carry.
The builders don't make any sense for the variants, they carry a lot more drones but still have that silly tardis docking cutnpaste 10/40, but that is as far as I can see the result of changing the builders in-place. As it is, you could pick the new variants so a faster Paranid one that has fewer drones or a slower Teladi one that has more drones, but in no way would you ever bother with the base game H looking builder that is left. If the newer looking builders could not have the tardis docking, then the base model one still has a "point", even if that point relies on tardis docks or seriously suspending belief.
However, as I put it for the Argon, it ought to be that the AI desire is for more, but cheaper, fighters/frigates/gunships for the Argon fleets and missions, asking for 15 instead of 10 fighters, but asking for Mk2 or Mk1 shields instead, etc. As it is, the Argon have the worst fighting fleet, because instead of doing a more efficient zerg rush they field expensive Mk3 everything ships that then make the cheaper hulls utterly irrelevant. the only "good" ship the Argon have is the Eclipse, a heavy fighter that is fairly well rounded for its class. But it has the Elite, armed like a scout, fast as a heavy fighter, and so the worst in the class for actual fighters, the Nova which is barely better than a Falcon, the latter of which can carry two shields rather than just one, and the Minotaur which is slow and poorly shielded, all three of which are only worth putting cheaper and more cost effective Mk1 stuff on it so that its cheaper hull actually makes a difference in both time and cost.
The Zeus ought to be replaced by a smaller subcarrier that just takes 12 or 16 fighters on board, the Boron need something that can actually take out a station or capital ship, neither of which were problems in Boron space because THOSE only produced fighter class stuff, but that is no longer the case. The Argon need to get a better AI choice to Zerg instead, except possibly the Eclipse, or alternatively get a built-in missile launcher so that you could choose a missile over speed or an extra shield, at least up to M class anyway. The Teladi had the worst traders but that is no longer the case and are at least (absent any pretence of cheapness) now balanced lore-wise with defensive military assets and capacious traders. Split are well armoured and gun-heavy, and the Terrans are given some good ships that are only really let down by being expensive, though they really need to have something beam like for both turrets and main weapons that are solid performers to make them capable militarily.
The Callisto IMO ought to be faster to turn. The Split and Paranid courier class are faster and likewise two-weaponed along with having more cargo space, so the Callisto if given a significant buff to turn rates makes a good "starter ship" that can turn often enough that you'd take it in to a fight against an AI or two voluntarily. It's slow, but cheap, and so very much more niche and quickly grow out of it to the Courier or Tethys/Tuatara for more space and speed but not needing much more than 2000 cargo. The Magpie is still slow, but carrying 3000 instead, it makes a good food/medicine runner.
If the Argon are given a "free" built in fixed function missile launcher, and an upped missile count for the Minotaur, it "feels" appropriate to me to do it this way:
Elite Sentinel: Torpedo missile launcher. Quite dangerous, suprisingly so, for large ships that can't avoid the torpedoes.
Elite Vanguard: Tracking missile launcher. The Vanguard variant is therefore stronger against smaller ships.
Nova Sentinel: Dumbfire launcher. Those are used against stations or if backed up with other fighters, the capitals that can't necessarily avoid dumbfires, and they are cheap to make.
Nova Vanguard: Tracking. Again, these variants are supposed to be for fighter combats.
Minotaur Sentinel: Torpedoes. They would then, with more missiles to its name, be anti-capital bombers.
Minotaur Vanguard: Dumbfire. Pit those against stations and plink at range, and they are then quite useful as an agressive arm.
Cerebus Sentinel: Tracking. Because they stand back, tracking will be used to fire off missiles while drones are delivered.
Cerebus Vanguard: Torpedo. Or Tracking. Either works, torpedoes are more an anti-capital thing, whilst tracking are anti-fighter.
Neither Cerebus variants are thirsty for a missile, mind, the Gorgon is clearly better, but compared to the Teladi Osprey, it appears to be fairly balanced, but since the Gorgon and Nemesis are both solid M class military but neither carry many drones, it can be in a different use-case than the Cerebus and Osprey, and so doesn't compete per se with them.
can i play as like a protoss carrier and have swarms of drones coming out my butt?
Yes. X4 carriers are way larger though and have up to 121 fighters for the largest variant. You could even join the fighter wing yourself. Unlike protoss they actually launch from landing pads too.
Owning a carrier and stocking it is very lategame though. Drones exist too and can be launched from any L and XL ships and some M ships. They are rather weak. Carriers launch flyable fighters.
kinda feels like FREELANCER, is it?
In some way, but X4 has a lot of strategy elements

Star Citizen is way better . They have multiplayer. Who the hell wants to fight AI? I never ever could understand that. Its like fighting something thats fake. I like fighting against other peoples skills.
Very early alpha and fluid core mechanics at present (including air to air combat). Otherwise SC can be enjoyed in short bursts. SC falls under a completely different genre as well, so can’t compare imho and not certain why you would want to. Compare it with Spacebourne 2 etc. instead 👍🏾
Nah this game is still shit. When a builder with plenty of funds is supposed to go get the materials to build with and it just sits there with an hourglass is just useless. The AI is broken. At some point or another ships you own that are assigned tasks just stop working. It's 7.0 and it's still and issue which to me is unplayable. I want to like it but it's trash. it always has been.
