    Indeed, you ll only hear defense and "respect" for other devs, games and companies when you press any dev for opinion. Game industry is as circlejerky as they get, more so than any other branch of entertainment or tech industry.

    People shouldn't have expected anything else, especially coming from an indie dev.

    BTW, let's take a look at supportive comments for that video

    It wasn't. Tried the tutorial I think, I can't tell. It's the exact same game but with a cockpit, barely improved avatars and voice acting. Same shit german interface and controls and plot, and a car in space stuck in first gear.

    Frozen Synapse and No Man's Sky are both Brit games. I think there's a bit of a "British mafia" in game development and gaming journalism (RPS, Eurogamer, etc). They stick up for each other.

    X3:TC is one of the best space sims out there. Not because of amazing combat or syperb flying mechanics but because it is marriage between economy game and space sim.

    Get Xtended mod and you work from 0 into super fleeet of ships which each of them took decent amount of hours to buy and outfit properly. At same time you create factories, trading fleet and so on.

    I think best way to describe it would be Eve light + actuall space flying yourself.


    X rebirth after 4.0 patch is mediacore but still better than NMS. Though it runs like shit regardless of whatever you have (DX9 game in 2014...)


    edit:

    Nothing feels better than deploying small carrier with 3 medium fighters somewhere knowing you actually earned, outfitted, bought and you fly it yourself.

    Peter Molyneux reached his state after 20 years, Sean Murray did this with his second game and at age 34

    Not only that, molyneux made really great games before , there was a real basis to the hype if you remember titles like populous powermonger, syndicate, theme park...Sean murray is a much more talented con artist.

    and NMS is worse than Stillbirth by about 3,47 orders of magnitude (probably more, considering that's a ratio compared to unpatched stillbirth vanilla)

    If you think X: Rebirth is the exact same game as X3, then I've spotted your problem.

    It's a slow, boring game with a bad interface made by germans that takes place in what's supposed to be space. Same thing.

    I don't want to build a giant fleet and futons and space stations. Actually futons in my ship would be nice. I want a little ship to pew pew with, trade things, exploar.

    Then X3 is not what you're looking for. But Rebirth is still nowhere close to what X3 is. No idea how you can come to that conclusion unless you genuinely didn't play Rebirth (which I won't blame you for). X3 is an economic management sim built on top of a space sim. X Rebirth is... fuck knows what it actually is.

    Cept the issue is over legality, not unethical behaviour.

    That's a big negatory. Even the NMS Youtube videos are more fun to play than Stillbirth. I am not exagerrating. It is just plain horrible as a game, never mind an X game. NMS is justt disappointing and didn't live up to the insane hype.

    I'm curious about all this outrage.

    Can someone give me a summary? I remember watching some videos of the game when it was announced and it looked like a Immersive Experience™. Now, after being released, it still looks like an Immersive Experience™

    I haven't followed the hype train at all.

    Reads like a spambot comment.

    very insightful article, I haven't looked at this subject from this point of view before, this blog is amazing and I'll be following it from now on. Gucci purses Gucci shoes Gucci consoles
