One removes the fake traffic created in them to force the mini-game, and the other removes the action music to, i assume, fuel the 'adrenaline' as you play the mini-game?ġ. I use the Nexus for the ones i have running, most are old (older than their version on SteamWorkshop mostly) but the list i will give below seem to function well on the latest game version (4.30). It also got me searching for mods, but not on Steamworkshop, on Nexus, as i need standalone stuff for my non-Steam version. I have not watched ALL of this guys video's, but i did get through a few to better understand the game and what i might be doing wrong in it. Now i'm not saying it is the BEST let's play, but it is in English and it is on the latest version (4.30) and has some mods in the mix, and really it was the mods that caught my eye. Then i decided to watch this let's play on it: Yep even after years of updates and fixes, Rebirth still felt 'off'. So after about 5 hours of playing i put it down. Numerous little functional issues here and there. The constant same dialogue (for everything every transaction, every launch, every exit from a space lane, and both the char you play and your side-kick in particular sounded annoying after a short while) just cut the immersion it reminded me of vanilla Oblivion in this, where a dev is 'too keen' to show something 'cool' off and it's in your face ALL the time.ĥ. All the NPC's were badly animated and often looked like they had survived WW3 (or something).Ĥ. The mini-game of driving through the new space-lanes accompanied by thumping 'action music' was just awful.ģ. Your side kick had a huge cleavage on display in her 'space suit' (this is just a tonal issue, where i feel forced to feel like a teenager in 'my' game).Ģ. It was all change and once you dug around in it a little you felt a lot of that change was half-baked or implemented poorly.įor me these things 'broke it' and stopped me playing:ġ. Nomenclature had changed, space travel around a system had changed, the game universe had changed (as part of the plot). The graphics were great but lots of other things felt odd (coming from X2>X3 in particular). I got it super cheap (like £9 iirc) and due to the terrible launch state did not feel too guilty about that particular sale purchase, but it hung around for about six months unplayed in my GOG account. So yeah, like a lot of folk I scratched X:Rebirth off my list and moved on.Ī GOG sale (and i guess my frustration at not being able to start ED just yet?) somehow ended up with my owning the 'Home of Light Complete Edition': Egosoft have a reputation for releasing buggy games but this was a whole new level, with a layer of odd game design thrown into that cauldron. X:Rebirth got the nickname 'X: ' around the time of it's release, and at the time I felt it probably deserved it after reading a few reviews and watching a few fan video's explaining the issues. X3 is the darling of the series for many (I also have a soft spot for X2), and X4 is the 'new' X3 just currently 'in progress'.
