X3: Reunion Reviews

It's such a massive backward step from X-2 in pretty much every aspect... what a shame *Edit* After 66 hours I can honestly say it's even worse than I originally thought. The story / plot / pacing is REALLY bad, completely off. Quite often I found myself not having a clue what was going on or what I was supposed to be doing. Compare this to X-2, decent pacing, reasonably good voice acting and script writing, interesting story that develops at a normal pace and something that explains itself quite well. X-3 Reunion has none of that. The economy is broken too, investing millions and millions into stations never pays off, the prices are extortionate, but none of it matter because the story is so scripted and hard coded, most of the story is played in ships or turrets that the game wants you to directly control, not your own assets. The entire game is one massive run around fetch quest that ultimately ends up in a battle with the Khaak (big wow) Your father has no presence in the game and the characters don't get developed at all, you just end up hating every aspect of the game and it's so called characters. The combat is JANK, a fight is over in a matter of seconds, pirates travel in huge groups, no one ejects so ship capturing is night on impossible. There's not a single thing I like about this game. It's a lazy, rushed unfinished, unpolished piece of crap. Even the ship trails / engine glow from X2 has gone, the turret firing animations from X2..all gone... All the polish you see in X2 is absent from this title. Even the laser particle effects look aweful compared to X2, like it was some rushed in sprite they added quickly to keep development costs low.

Not as long as the game is on steam te mess with the games where you can not play it .
