Yeah Steam refunds are a pretty good motivator, but games like the X series also take awhile to dive deep into them and it can easily be over 2 hours before you realize it's horribly broken.

With social media, this time has compressed somewhat. Also goons are not the shyest opinionators.

Also i played rebirth and thought it was fine with an xbone controller/mouse i mean i couldnt think of a better way they could have done it for that setup. My problem with rebirth was by the time they got it working i didnt care anymore i was sick of starting over.

Bingo. It's not entirely terrible now, as long as you cheat a bit.

Yeah I've played Rebirth after a few of the DLCs and the controller interface is massively improved. It's still going to be faster navigating some menus with a mouse but the stupid awkward Mass Effect style radial menu is mostly gone except in places where it's not really an issue because you only have like 3 options anyway.

I didn't realize this was so close to coming out. Just re-discovered it a few days ago.

Does this mean I get to use the old joystick I bought for X3 and never used?

you start in a hangar, it's first person, there's a spaceship in front of you, and everything is really pretty.

This is just Star Citizen, except it's a real game.

Yeah I'm seeing potentially worrying bits of Star Citizen here and there but if it works then hey, why not.

On some level having stations walkable but not required to walk in is cool.

He's not, they're talking about which of the three starting scenarios. He selected the Terran one based on the tutorials, which aren't in.

I think I saw the guns autoaim at the selected target, that's a nice little feature. Click one thing to target it, then keep maneuvering in a different direction with the mouse and hold down shoot.

e: yeah definitely, his guns just tracked this one guy he selected, totally independent of his cursor or heading. auto-gimbal :allears:

Yes they do, they did in X3 and rebirth but now they've actually modeled weapons gimballing. I think they're supposed to have different rates/ranges of motion. You can see the guns do it if they're visible from the cockpit.

E: Aaaah they made travel drive into a ship mode.

2.5km/s in travel mode, that's gonna be nice.

Going by the looks of it, if you can run Rebirth you can run this.

970 here seem to happily run away with that when it was later patched.
