I remember when you got Hudson Blue. This is a sad day but think of all the happy memories you'll have forever! |

Let me just say this. I seem to be in the minority here. I wanted so much to like the previous X games but never could because they were impossible to get into. It seems like most of the people who dislike Rebirth don't like it because it's not just X3 with better graphics.
I actually prefer it this way! The WHOLE reason I bought this game is because I figured it was going to be a departure from the series. To me, this is a GOOD THING! If you LOVED the previous X games this particular may not be your cup of tea. If you liked the idea of the previous X games but couldn't play for more than 15 minutes, this game is for YOU! |

I'm going to copy/paste my portion of what I saw this morning before work. I'll get home and play more and post more once i can.
Ok, I've put in about 30 minutes (all I can do before leaving for work). I own all the other X games and this one BLOWS them all away in playability. The hype surrounding the control scheme is totally warranted! I love it! I've only done the first 2-3 missions, but so far its amazing.
I use a standard mouse k/b setup. The previous X games were basically unplayable to me. I wanted to get into them so badly but for space sim games my goto comparison is Freelancer. This control scheme and very similiar to that and it's a NICE upgrade from the horrible controls of the previous X games. I also love the highway system being able to slipstream behind other vessels in a "train" for faster speeds is really neat. I've not had any combat aside from blowing up an asteroid to test my weapons.
I won't be able to play again until I get home from work around 4:30pm Eastern time. (8 hours from now). By then I'm sure others will have put in their thoughts. My impression so far is that if it keeps up like this, it'll be game of the year for me.
I'm running a GTX580 single (took out my second due to heat!) and everything at max at 1920x1200 and it all ran fine. Even SSAO was enabled. I don't know how Titans are only pulling 15fps unless its horribly optimized for them or something. My 580 is perfectly fine pulling 60+ fps. |

What control scheme do you use? M + KB, Stick, control pad?
Most importantly how is the combat? (This is what will sell the game for me personally)
A huge warning sign for me is the follower/drones/cap ship management. If Im going to spend the majority of my game time delegating tasks and giving orders, they might as well have given me control of a goddamn huge ass carrier starship. If I can build up a fleet and let them do random shit thats fine, but I dont want an economy business simulator I want to blow shit up, rule the galaxy, or a combination of both I use a standard mouse k/b setup.

East Coast of US here. Was told earlier it would unlock at 8am my time. It's now 7:07am my time and I got a "Now Available" message from steam. If it unlocks at 8am I can't sneak in a few minutes before work! |

They admit they screwed up in a new email they just sent out. All previous backers will get ALL DLC and new content until the end of time. They won't have to pay more. Anyone who backed them for $15 (the minimum for the game) gets all the dlc they release free. |

The battery test thing is ingenious. The only problem I see is that he is testing a pretty much dead battery vs a brand new one. I'd bet the difference between two used batteries (but not dead) would be hard to tell. |

I tried so hard to get into X3 but the control scheme just did me in... I love space games. Freelancer is one of my favorite games of all time. I backed Star Citizen for more money than I've ever spent on a game before. |
