Rebuy again to get expansions?

This game runs pretty good on my AMD390x under Linux, yes you heard me it runs great, thats at 4k! with latest AMD PRO beta drivers. Haven't had much chance to play this yet but given that it runs so well I doubt I'll have much to complain about. The only issue I will mention is to get the expansions you must re buy X Rebirth main game again, why are the expansions not separated GOG? I would have bought the lot with this current sale but didn't notice. No ability to buy just the two expansions in this current sale is unfortunate, sorry but I won't be buying the main game twice just to get the expansions!

Great Space Adventure, good ai, bad menu structure, fixable by mods

The game has steep learning curve, many basic to veteran skills. Once to you learn the basics, it's a great space adventure. I didn't finish the main mission. What I did play was very challenging. I plan to come back later. Playing the free trader starts, I played it until I built three stations and huge fleet of ships. After this learning experience, I started over. Playing another free trade start, I now have a huge trading fleet, 5+ warships, and fighter squadrons. I just finished my first space station. Note, you can automate most of running a station. You have a lot of freedom to do any missions and trading offers. You can destroy or capture ships. The battles can range from epic to mundane. You have to learn different tactics for different ships. Capturing a ship requires different tactics from just destroying it. Different ships require different tactics. You have wide variety of different weapons on your own ship. If you have warships following you, you will need to use different tactics. If you going against more than one ship at time and/or fighters, it gets even more complex. YOU WILL get blown up many times over in the learning process. When you get to a personal master skill level, you will be able to take on two warships with beam weapons at once. I've taken on two Olmekron warships with two warships supporting me. I destroyed all their weapons, engines, and jump drive. Then proceeded to capture one ship then the other. Relevant maybe cheat mod: "black market seminars". The rest are menu mods. The game requires a high level of tactical skills. Using your own weapons and commanding a fleet of ships, you will learn complex tactics. It takes time to learn them, be patient. Positive: The gameplay is superior. The fighter AI makes dogfights hard, Warship AI pushes your tactical skill to the limit. The combined system very hard to beat. The stations are fun to explore and using galaxy - sector - zone is a lot of fun. The official mods add some new galaxies and more space to the game. Negative: The AI for ships has a major flaw. Ships will take very dangerous routes. Often passing too close to hostile stations or weapons platforms. The menu system is very awkward and clunky. It takes too many keys to do anything. The menu system needs a complete overhaul. The menu code can be fixed by EGOSOFT, add your name to the game wish. Modders have some fixes to the menu, but there are too many problems. Two missions are given that have the same reward. When you attack enemies, the station reward video play an average of 5 times -> 16 times per session. It really breaks the flow of combat, and yes is VERY annoying! The overall game is worth $20, despite it's various flaws. It looses 2 stars, because of poor menu structure. If the menu system is overhauled, this is a five star game. Add your name to create modding forums and sub-forums on GOG for "X Rebirth".

Just not worth your time or money

My review summed up in three words: "short and pointless" Even after an avalanche of bug fixes and major updates the interface is still confusing, the plot is practically non-existant, and the mechanics behind trading are a joke. At least now you can technically complete the game; though why anyone would want to is beyond me. The only thing that really works is space combat, but endlessly popping enemies against a pretty background gets a little tiresome after a while without something to break the monotony. No price is too cheap for this title. Buy Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos or Freespace 2 instead; you will not be disappointed.

An X-periment :)

I believe this game is somewhat of a Egosoft's attempt to bring something fresh to a franchise. While it is obviously not a stellar sucess, it makes many steps in right direction, but unfortunately also makes some very bad ones and especially so in regards to its predecessors, which is it's single greatest sin. It is now tweaked and patched and a lot better than it was, but it still remains what I consider an important, milestone, but yet not really sucessful experiment. The bad: buggy, tedious, interface-ally confusing and frustrating, AI is sometimes downright ridiculous (autopilot, NPC navigation). It can be very repetitive on many different levels. Trading is not what it should be in essence, yet there are two paralel trading systems (cargo and personal)?? Many station and NPCs are feeling very generic. Mini games are repetitive and boring. Various aspects of game are not balanced, etc, etc.. The good: feeling of presence in the universe is fantastic. Graphically it's very good. Ship finally have believable cockpit; entering and looking around the ship now looks like you are really there (instruments, copilot, sounds) Stations are gigantic and are teeming with life and traffic. Ships are more detailed than ever. Boarding mechanics feels there is always a prize in carefully planning battles with capital ships. There are rare and hidden missions and items to find. Conclusion: I did very much enjoy Rebirth in the end. If in next X game developer keeps all mentioned good things, but instead of many dubious experimental stuff which was not received well at all put instead more effort in variety and content (more story, plots, missions, situation templates, ships and ways and paths to upgrade them, not mentioning different NPCs, their faces and roles, and interaction with them), than maybe Rebirth could be observed as a birth of something more than a hit and miss experiment it is viewed as now.
