It’s been a tough few days for Egosoft following the launch of X Rebirth. Today another apology has been issued by Egosoft’s Director Bernd Lehahn for the game's problems whilst at the same time is happy at the game's "success".
A remake of X Rebirth: Home of Light for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift has been released into Early Access.
EGOSOFT has announced that the Birth of Light expansion and the 4.0 update will be launched for their spaceship sim X Rebirth this coming February 2016. Preorders for the expansion are now available as well.
GG3 writes: "Grand space sci-fi game, X Rebirth, has announced a permanent price drop. Additionally, as the game moves to update 3.50, a free-to-play weekend for that iteration, as well as the entire X series, will be held on March 13 to March 15, 2015 on Steam."
Battlefield 4 had issues but was enjoyable before patches
Total War Rome 2 had issues but was enjoyable before patches
X-Rebirth is a MESS!
1. Egosoft has done the Correct thing and come out and Apologized and they have addressed gamers concerns.
Good job on that
2. They are sending patches out like every day, good job on that.
3. "Exiting the super highway (blue) millions of km away from anything" and Game crash before Menu.
B.S. this is killing me as I burn resources trying to get back on track then wind up getting Hammered because it re-inserts me into enemy territory.
I gotta put X-Rebirth down for a week. Great Game but X is a very sensitive and strategic game but the bugs are F-N me up big time.
Not as bad as complete progress loss in GTAV but darn near close when you lose cargo, resources, and crew members because the game landed you somewhere you were NOT expecting.
Great Game but wait a week or 10 days for more patches before setting out to conquer the universe.
Yes indeed there are serious bugs with it and I've had to look for solutions on forums twice already just to finish the tutorial missions. I've not played previous X games so I have not idea what has been stripped or dumbed down so I cant comment on that, but So far I'm having tons of fun with it and the universe is super detailed and fun to explore.
X Rebirth is not an X game. It is stripped of everything which made the previous games great. Its mind boggling that we waiting 7 years for this piece of crap.
Reasons: Universe is smaller at only 4 sectors. No automation through trade and fleet command. One ship to personaly fly. Less ships overall in game. Lack of fan favorite alien races. Stupid and complexed UI that is somehow even worse than the last game. There is not Trade, Think in this game, only FIGHT and the sim in that is gone as well which is now replaced by a floaty arcade shooter. Limited weapons compared to X3. Couple of missles, couple of lasers thats it. Where did everything from the last games go? I can go on forever on what they stripped.. The only people having fun with this game obviously never REALLY played the previous games. I am done with this company. Egosoft is a company which has outright lied to their fanbase and gave them a dumbed down console game.
They will not be getting anymore money from me and many others.
