Hardcore Gamer: Yesterday's Humble Daily Bundle revived the Deep Silver bundle so it made sense to think that they would all be re-releases. Day two proved that to be a faulty train of thought as a brand-new bundle was crafted. This outer space-themed bundle lets you pay what you want for X3: Terran Conflict, while paying more than the average of about $3.50 presently gets you Universe Sandbox.
The X series of games is an action space sim developed by Egosoft and contains large amount of features, spanning 6 games altogether: X: Beyond the Frontier and it’s expansion pack X: Tension, X2 The Threat, X3 Reunion, X3 Terran Conflict and it’s newest expansion pack, Albion Prelude as well as the sequel/reboot X Rebirth, which is currently in development.
"Terran"? Like in StarCraft? ;)
No no no, not like that at all, but like this, and not like that, this is not like that and that is not like this, but this is not what kind of that which we like to not like.
Got that?
Terran: of, or relating to, the planet Earth (as in "Terra Firma").
previous x games were too complicated for me.
i prefer dark star one. i know its not as in depth but i find it more fun
the game is STUPIDLY hard to get into.
I had to download several player guides from forums and spend hours just getting to grips with the basic trading model/exploration.
That said, once you have found your feet and started automatic trading runs, the fun factor increases exponentially until it becomes frighteningly addictive.
Get this game if you can see yourself putting the time in to 'learn it'
Otherwise, you'll just hate it
Also, make sure you have top notch hardware. Loading times were a pain and on my old clunky pc it sometimes ran like a slideshow.
