the im calling you out comment i hope,, was understood as a light hearted joke
im seing alot of responses about multip player and rpg aspects, and i think im being mistaken for suggesting much much more than what im actually suggestiong,, so i will clarify/simplify,, once again, perheaps better,,,,
im talking about
simply adding a personal inventory, for armor, weapons, and maybe speacial items say perhaps, a special item for a courier mission,, it'll show up in the player inventory instead of the ship inventory,, since X4 will be flying multiple ships,, it almost seems like your gonna HAVE to have a player inventory,, so, the ability to wear differ armors, even if you never get to actually see your player character aside from a small graphic of a hand holding a gun,, classic doom style.. what im ACTUALLY talking about can be pulled off not only minimally but still tastefully,,, more tastefull than the
-old ladies that slowly fell off the top of the ugly station and hit every rafter and support beam and relay admitter and what have you on the way down-
(again just joking...lot of comments out there about the radiatien beaten old ladies in rebirth lol.
and hey, this could completely replace the mini-game that NO ONE freaking likes. people will say,, "HEY, they got rid of that stupid mini game no one liked, and replaced it with the ability to draw a blaster and cap npc's in a station!! FEELS like we have a reason to walk around on a statiion now,
that ONE little addition, and i know enough about programming and even modding to know it could be achived in x revbirth with out too much effort, and stil be tastefully achieved.
(your probalby going to ask,, "why dont you mod it in yourself if its so easy?,, well, i expect someone that doesnt do any modding at all to say that because any good modders out there know im being realistic. but to anser it, i was t-boned on my bike in 2014 and its really put a cramp in my style to the least. i simply havent had to time to dedicate to modding as of any time recent, and the mods ive started, albiet dated now, are huge and will be where i pick back up in the modding world.
you say yall took a poll, and im sure this poll consisted of a lot of people that ARE NOT already long time x players, im sure this poll consisted of all the poeple that bought x and HATED it, wich clearly heavily outweighs the number of poeple who bought it and like it. thats not my guess, you can check RIGHT NOW!!!
LOOK AT THE REVIEWS ON STEAM
TODAY 28 recent reviews, mostly negative
ALL (4,570) mostly negative
LOOK at what everyone is complainign about.. serisously you egosoft gusy ONLY STAND BEHIND THE SOURCES THAT BACK YOUR OWN ORIGINAL IDEA.. your poll is/was trash....
if you go to starbucks and take a poll and ask everyone there whose coffe they perfer, majority if not all will say starbucks,, OBVIOUSLY
your gonna have a few stragglers that just come in for the wifi and atmosphere, that prefer their home brewed maxwell house over anything becuase thats what they aquired a taste for.
but in this case,,,,
if you highlight the,, ALL REVIEWS, on steam, it will dislplay,, 38% of the 4,570 user reviews for this game are positive.
in case thats confusing to anyone,, thats not a good thing.
i would prject that, x4 might do slightly better than xrebirth, due to flying all ships,,but thats relying on advertiseing a new few new features, im sure us vets will love it. just eat it up. i know i will.
but if you go by the numbers alone,, id say to expect foundations to do about as well, possible slightly worse than rebirth,, because rebirth is not really giving it a good name at the moment..
the planet side thing i dont expect, but agin, could be pulled of minimally and tastefully,,
since a huge thing about foundations is no loading, its all seemless, i could see going planet side having its challenges, although they pull it off nicely its seems in OSIRIS new dawn.... say those challenges are worked out,, im only talking about giving eaceh race,, a single visible city, that gives more than just the players imagination as to what these races homeworlds are like,, doesnt have to be another whole sandbox like skyrim on the ground.. just city perhaps the size of station. with alot of environmental art to support the imagination.
x has always relied heavily on the imagination, HOW you play in large is in your head,, one responder wrote that he likes feeling imprtant being the commander of a big fleet, and doesnt think more implemantion to the player and npcs is much needed for the feel hes achieving palying the game,, but A HUGE SELLING POINT of the game is to be able to play how you want,, not everyone wants to be a fleet commander,, im more lika a han solo type,,just now with a large collection of ships parked at a warehouse, i just asighn all the caps to protect and trade over stations i had built. i dont actually do any of the commanding, beyond tellin the capiton of a ship who to go work for ,, im more like job recruiter for my own compaines that would rather have a wooking harping out blablablablab at stuff randomly rather than the annoying girl taht doesnt really do anything at all. she should at least be able to fly the skunk and fight when you are remote controlling a drone. hmpf
i just thougth of this, but , what we need is the ability to to host missions areselves,, like,, THINK about it,,
i have this massive fleet of i dont even know how many ships,, just flying around making me money, and protecting my stuff.. i just fly around now and cap xenon and khaak and pirates,, it didnt take long to get to this point..
but what if could pay npcs to take mission from me, just like on the bulliten board,
what if i could pay an interested npc,, to go start some shiznit between to other factions, so that i could inderectly cause a skirmish or even all out war without it effecting my own reputation? hmmmmm.
or just down right pay a politition of a faction to start some shiznit with another faction or race???? make bribes with some of this hundreds of millions i have????
sorry , chasing rabbits,, i love X,, it truly does make me think and even inspire me. much love, i hope no one, fan or dev, thinks im bashing at all.. quite the contrary, i want it to really be the all in one, truly can do whatever you want enviornement, and it just seems like its so close to achieveing that, all in all, though, im not talking about a whole new game, im just talking about what really seems to be minor improvements on whats already there. im not suggesting changeing anything about x, onlly adding to it.
