X3, any good?

from Sins Forums

Never tried any of the games in this series, but wondering about them as they're all on sale on Impulse this week.  It seems to be a more open ended Freelancer, but that's really all I can tell about it.  Are they any good?  If so, which one is worth getting?  Skip straight to the final one, Terran Conflict, or is there a point to playing Reunion first (gameplay-wise, don't really care too much about the story here)?

Is there any reason why not to install all the additions of this pack?

None, please let us know how is it. Remember, very steep curve so your social life may suffer..... XD

I haven't been able to play much of Albion, but it doesn't replace TC. None of the many plots available in TC are available in Albion, and important things (to me) like the player HQ are not present either. Although, there have been hints that they may add some small updates like that to future patches.

I'm very keen on this, plenty of good info in this thread, thanks to you all.

Many of you say though, that there is a steep learning curve and be prepared to read online for help, walkthroughs/faqs...that being so can those of you that have played the game for some time link me to your favored sites?

Be that forums, game wiki's or whatever, just your favored places for learning what the game doesnt teach.

Much appreciated for your help!

:)

Check out Egosoft's official forums as well. Every time I have an issue, question, or whatever else, I've always found the answer. The forums are well moderated and the community is one of the best around. The only divide is that there is a strange purist group there that abhors the use of mods. I couldn't imagine playing X games without some of my favorite mods to spice up the game. Maybe it's just because I'm a veteran of the series? I've seen plenty of posts like

 

 

"Post 1: Purist" - "Is this possible in game? I would LOVE to do this but can't figure out how."

"Post 2: Smart and Attractive Modder" - "It's not in vanilla, but here's a mod that allows you to do that and has all of these cool features at expand upon your idea."

"Post 3: Purist" - "No thanks, I don't want any mods."

The mods for Terran Conflict are very impressive. Here's a few....

This is also a XTC Mod.

This is my personal favorite, however, it's from X3 Reunion, but the music and the editing make it a great vid....

I bought this on steam sales these last weeks, albion and X3.

Played a bit, and besides good looks, and time consuming extragavanza,

I can suggest ppl to play eve online.

 

You just can't fight against dead space AI without any big events taking place.

 

Eve online is a proper sandbox.

 

Nothing beats the 700men fleet fight with capital, supercapital ships and bomber gangs etc...
