No, it's actually really just because the game is utterly crap. There's plenty of other stuff to play. How you dare release a game in this state and just kick every single one of your fans in the teeth is beyond my comprehension. Maybe they were bored with being considered one of the best devs in th...

They really need to stop pretending they can fix this. This game is garbage. Start making the new game from scratch, use Rebirth's engine once they've figured out how to not make it run like a one-legged dog, and in two years time, give all X-Rebirth customers the new game for free. (Also, please ha...

Pretty spot-on review from Gamespot, which is surprising.

2/10 seems about right. Alternatively, they could have given it the score "How to murder your long-lasting and much-loved space game franchise in one easy release."

Additionally, you installed and played the game purchased in this transaction for 21 hours, in effect using the product. This is your problem right there. They will never refund you if you've played a game for more than 5 hours, and even that's already pushing it. After 21 hours you could have real...

Waiting for it to fix itself. Might take awhile, I guess.

Trade - insults with other community members, or tips how to improve performance Fight - with steam for refund, or the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness Build - your patience and knowledge of xml save editing. Think - before you preorder next time Genius... Hahahaha. That's indeed genius. :)

Now this just exists as another cautionary tale to prevent preorders. Agreed. I predict Egosoft will close up shop and dissolve by the end of the year... Are you going to come back and admit you were a dumbass when they don't? since that's the only reasonable explanation for releasing a game like t...

Cool. It's 11AM in Tulsa.

BEST.THREAD.EVER.

Using older exe files is a recipe for disaster. Usually, the new code that contains bug fixes resides for a large part inside the exe file. You are correct of course. The point of this experiment is to show beyond doubt that the patches are the cause of the frame rate issues and not our individual ...

Because it's a free country? And people have the right to choose how to spend their time?

I know, it's a crazy concept. Give it a try, though. You might like it.

So I am thinking that maybe the voice actors are German, who speak English. Get out of town! Really?! It's almost as if that's somehow related to the fact that Egosoft is a German developer? :o :o :o Okay, sorry, didn't mean to be so snarky, but yeah, they're German/European voice actors doing Engl...

Yep. Hard to argue with this logic.

When Stardock released Elemental: War of Magic, it was possibly even more broken than Rebirth, hard as it is to imagine. Rather than hide, Brad Wardell stepped up, said he did wrong by his customers, and vowed to make it right. They did some rudimentary patching to War of Magic, and promised the fir...

Other than "uh, yeah, they're kinda right, we released a badly broken game," what can he really say?

Thanks DarkOne! Any idea if the NMM will support Rebirth in the near future?

Awesome screenshots, Baleur, thanks.

I'm disappointed with the game, but you guys have given your fans every reason to believe that you'll fix the most annoying things, as you've always done so in the past. Allowing us to look at the beautiful universe you've constructed is a good step (why hide it? Let me sit there for hours and gaze ...

I haven't really run into any bugs, other than that the game is having some performance issues on an otherwise pretty beefy rig. But even so, the bugs don't bother me. Egosoft always fixes their bugs; they're about the only dev who consistently do so. What just bothers me is the weird design choices...

I'm enjoying the beauty of the universe. I love flying around these massive, massive stations and just gawking at them. Or staring at the gorgeous sectors. The rest of it... Why is everything a mini-game now? Really? I need a mini-game to TALK to people? I need a slipstream mini-game (with fake traf...

I'd just settle for a "Target Nearest Enemy" button. You expect me to freaking MOUSE CLICK in the middle of a F&CK*NG dogfight?
