I would have to agree. The best "weapon firing noise" in this vid isn't one at all--it actually turned up to become the sound that Particle Accelerator Cannons make when they hit something.
That, and sure, I understand it would have been terrible for the framerate, but would it have killed Egosoft to add shields that become visible on impact?
well well, if only the explosions would really behave like a real explosion. nexus (old but awesome) has state of the art explosions). if you destroy a ship in x3... there is nothing that deserves to be called an explosion. the torpedeoes and even rockets are so slow, that with most ships they can be outrunned. an di mean the ship that fired the missiles is faster... well, not very bright...
well, there are definately bad points, and the game was kinda crap at release, but now they've fixed alot, I hope X4 doesn't have so much bugs in the beginning...
BTW, I pre-ordered that game, so I know what you're talking about
I hate this game. I spewed out a fair amount of money for some pos that didn't run and didn't do any of the things it promised on the box. It didn't say "extremely tedious space economy simulation". Releasing the game in the state that they did is an insult to paying customers.
Beside, the game only seems good looking it really isn't. They couldn't even implement real planets, they are just backdrops with 3 texture layers that are supposed to make it seem to rotate. Bah
X3 wasn't exceptionally good. THe mods made it playable, really. I think it was pretty terrible pre-mod, actually. I quite like it now though. Nexus, I assume you have it, how is it?
You can always recognize good space game graphics after how explosions of biggest spaceships/space stations look like

indeed, it sucks that you can easily outrun missiles, and yes, the explosions suck...

Quite an interesting concept, but I wish Nexus was as visible as this game (since it had one of the best combat engines for Space games, period).

X3 2.0 has been released last friday :)

It's rare that patches get that far. At least it shows they're dedicated. Now if only more companies were like that . . .

Yes, but the game did have many bugs at the beginning, 99% of them are fixed now :)
