God X3 is sooooooo shit.

Retract that comment, heathen! :)

 

Actually, I'm curious. What didn't you like about it? I poured a ton of hours into that game. I loved taking out Xenon Q ships with the flamethrower laser (forget the name) and just zooming through sectors in a maxed out Kestrel.

I had a hard time just getting into the X games (played part 1, 2 and 3). They're sorta like "i push the player into the water and see if he can swim". Nothing really explained, no tutorials or anything. Yes, you learn a lot in the game, but frankly, especially part 3 is so complex with all those menus (did i say the small font in the menus, and the complexity of those suck?) that there should at least be a proper tutorial. Or a hint "how to play the game". They were always fascinating for me, but i never really got into one of them. Which is a shame, because i bet they're not bad at all. Just bad to get into.

I liked X3 (AP) just to blow time cruising in space pretending I have important space shit to do. I never got particularly far in it because I treat it more like a sim than a game.

 

But I liked watching the Elite videos. Viscerally it's good, it makes you feel like you're really in the cockpit with the creaking and shaking and engine rumble, and authentic little details. That's its comparative advantage, I'd say. Immersion.

 

I probably 'play' SpaceEngine the most, just searching out cool screenshots of planets. It's not even a real game.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
