I knew theI pre ordered this game and it was disappointing when it had a lot of glitches. The X series has been my favorite since X-Beyond. I knew the old games backwards and the new one was alien. I have since grown to love the game. The developers have been patching / fixing / improving the whole time and it's now a great game.
   Looking forward to the next installation.… Expand

   It's not perfect, but no game ever is despite what people claim. Personally, I like how they did things and i believe that this game has potential with a few months of bug fixing.… Expand

   I never heard of this series before (dunno how I missed it) till' I saw this on Steam. The last game I played like this was Freelancer, andI never heard of this series before (dunno how I missed it) till' I saw this on Steam. The last game I played like this was Freelancer, and boy was that long ago.
   
   I did some research on the series, heard great things, and jumped on it. I wanted to give you my quick impressions from someone completely new to the series.
   
   I knew it was gonna be a little daunting going in, but it wasn't as user-friendly as they made it out to be. I read they got rid of a lot of the menus, which sounded great, but..ya...I'll get back to that.
   
   When I first loaded it up, there was a giant ship fighting a nearby station. It was awesome and looked straight out of a movie. Half a dozen fighters were engaged with it, and most of the time I was just idling, doing slow barrel-rolls trying to figure out the controls, but it was still epic.
   
   Once I got my bearings (and was right-side up) I wanted to start getting to know my ship, its weapons, shields, etc. So I start clicking the display screens...nothing happens, I start clicking everywhere else, still nothing. I did however end up shooting the nearby station and they told me that wasn't very nice.
   
   After about an hour I still felt lost. Each station I visited, though looking nice, just seemed like big cluster f*s. I assumed there'd be a shipyard somewhere, but I only ever found the docking bay for the bar, thanks to the giant holographic martini glass. I eventually found some traders after doing some hunting in the station.
   
   I started getting impatient with the lack of info, interface, and sluggy fps and eventually quit. I didn't give up there though, I heard so many good things, and I really wanted to like it, so I went back and got X3: TC, and the difference was night and day.
   
   The UI was the first thing I noticed and it was glorious. It had buttons! And those 'evil menus' that had INFORMATION. It had maps, weapon details and history, all without having to swivel around in my chair to look at some lady who's staring at me, who should be making sure we don't crash into anything while I'm squinting my eyes trying to read the information holograph.
   
   Once again, I felt lost, but it was more a feeling of being a new kid on the block in a vast universe. I felt I had a stronger hold and understanding of my ship right from the get-go (thanks to the easily accessible menus and info), and I spent most my time just exploring and meeting the different races, and seeing the massive war ships and different, divided, stations that I might one day obtain. In Rebirth, I felt lost in my own ship, bashing the console and listening to the lady yell at the computer.
   
   Right now, I'm enjoying X3:TC way more, for a fraction of the price.
   
   If this was meant to bring in people new to the series, I guess it kinda worked, but I just ended up going to an older game.… Expand

   All negative reviews sum it up. If they are so low it is to counter those fanboy 10/10 marks.
   
   The game is in beta or post alpha stage. IAll negative reviews sum it up. If they are so low it is to counter those fanboy 10/10 marks.
   
   The game is in beta or post alpha stage. I would advise people to wait at least 6 months before purchasing it. Egosoft has always put much love in fixing it games post release. But here the problem dont lie only with bugs, but with design features, that were sold to us many times but arent in the game, instead we have poor design and loads of bugs.
   
   Plague by bugs.
   Trading not working.
   Capital ships owned by player not fighting.
   Quests stuck because of many bugs (i myself made an extensive thread sticked in the Workaround thread on official forum to give many hints on how to bypass them editing savegame so i know exactly what i'm talking about)
   UI very poor compared to previous titles (takes more actions with keyboard for similar commands)
   Not even a decent fleet command.
   Lacking fundamentals key binding, like target next ennemy, closest and so on.
   No radar.
   Very poor map, cant read it correctly.
   Walking in station was a good idea but it is very poorly done, you loose too much time in there.
   And many more that could be said (just check all other negative reviews for anidea).
   
   That said this game has huge potential, but i wont rate it on its potential but its current state. You probably wont be able to play it within the next month without huge issues forcing you to restart or edit your savegame, so for me its a 2/10 right now.
   
   Egosoft lied to us selling us awsomeness in all their interviews and trailers, even untill a week before release. When they knew their game was so badly tested, unfinished (missing small ships dealers and so on). In short they deceived the fans. And i was a very lonng term fan.
   
   Stay clear from this, and check official forum in 6 months or more to see how the game has evolved.… Expand

   The game is so unfinished, that it is unplayable. Besides the gamebreaking bugs in the campaign, you will have to put up with performance, even on a highend pc, annoying NPC voices, with added bad animations.
   
   I found my self saving and loading continously trying to avoid the game breaking bugs in the campaign, just to get a little further, just because of the possibilities the game offers and the intriguing storyline pushed me forward. But after 9 hours of loading old saves and running into new game breaking bugs, I finally gave up.
   
   You could hope they will patch up all the issues, but there are just so many things wrong with this game it will take forever to make it playable.
   
   Everyone who bought this deserves a refund.… Expand

   I played for 10 minutes and was so disgusted I stopped playing and here is my opinion:
   1. Terrible performance. I have a top of the lineI played for 10 minutes and was so disgusted I stopped playing and here is my opinion:
   1. Terrible performance. I have a top of the line system and I get 25 fps with NOTHING GOING ON.
   2. Controls are atrocious. I have a Saitek x52 and had it hooked up and ready to go but apparently it doesn't work with this game and the game didn't even recognize the axis of my joystick so it was impossible to configure.
   3. low res textures and still 25 fps!
   
   Just awful.… Expand
