is this anything playable yet?

[buzbyx]

last I tried it was a buggy terrible thing involving taking crap out of lockers and selling it to mannequins in bars

worst game ever?

(thank god for X3)

anything changed yet?

[Gus man B]

I can see an improvement!

The NPCs are more interactive, and the game play has more added stuff, take a look at the news in the main page.
I can now finally max out my Video settings with vary good FRS.

Hey. I wnat to build full automatic manufacturing line, from 0 to shipyard. Can anyone confirm if that part of game working 100%? I have 160 hours, and nice start "save" ....oh, its so long, and i really want to do this.

[BigBANGtheory]

a good number of fixes but no major changes in gameplay yet if that is what you are asking

[ballti]

I just need to know, if stations (my stations) and assigned ships to stations working proper 100%.

[birdtable]

No.... See you in June.

[khartsh]

No.... See you in June.

Yeah but people said come back in January when people complained in November... and in January they said come back in March...

Now we are saying June? How about never?

Personally looking at Elite Dangerous, the work the devs are doing with the player base to see it's not only working on day 1 of public sale but fully tested and tweaked on tester feedback... XR has exactly that long before I forget it existed. Hey ho.

EDIT : Since I know ES are capable of making good games, maybe the next one For X3:AP with this gfx engine I'd even pay 'em again

involving taking crap out of lockers and selling it to mannequins

That is only the initial get going funds ... once you get further into the game you will ignore the trunks & lockers completely. My opinion on this is that too many Skyrim players are in the treasure chest habit and try to bring it to XR where that is not the main game play here. Space shooter is the core of XR ... not treasure hunting. Yes there is room for improvement on what they have released, but the core is solid. X3TC took quite a few patches and originally only had a couple of plot missions too, but given time it turned out great & so will XR.

Still not sure about the depth for Elite D in single player.... sure looks a good shooter but that is not enough ... maybe Limit Theory but no Star C.....

[Trialbyfire]

No, still not playable. They are making progress, but no cigar yet. Probably not worth wasting time until they fix some remaining major bugs associated with trading and building (and thinking and fighting for that matter). I'm giving it another 3 months before worth taking a look at.

You can complete the plot now with minor issues, Trading with ships in squad works with no problems and has benefited the most from latest patches. Building of stations and trade associated with them is still giving too many problems. Still all very basic, but focus is changing now to add some more depth to gameplay and rework some aspects of the game in the coming months.

It is very playable right now. Don't listen to the nahsayers and try yourself.

[birdtable]

Yes ,, in a way it is playable, but when I play it I get frustrated and annoyed and when I don't I get nostalgic for Ego's past games knowing I cannot go back ... A fine state of affairs for a mature adult.

[mnanderson]

Every month or so I check the forums to get a general feeling for the state of the game; sticking my toe in the water, so to speak. Still sounds like it's a bit too chilly. From the rate of progress I've seen so far, I'm thinking this summer sometime will finally be a good time to buy.

I like Ego; they've built up a lot of karma in my bank from their previous games. I'm still hoping to have a good experience from this one. If it doesn't work out, though, fingers crossed that they've made enough from X:R to stay afloat and deliver something excellent in the future.

[TTD]

Generally more playable now.
Maybe because I have a better rig too.
But I am almost enjoying the game now.


A few more patches might hook me into it.
But for now I am still playing modded AP games.

I like the X-Encyclopedia, I never really had much knowledge on the lore of the X-Universe so started reading through it, 200 pages later i'm enthralled by the explanations for technology and the Type Civilizations that I did some searching on Youtube for the Civilizations theory, it's really quite interesting, that were a Type 0 Civilization on the verge of being a Type 1.
