The graphics are...eww

[Lord Commander Dante]

This game looks like something what was developed 20 years ago and the price tag is as same as a AAA title?
Someone explain this to me please.

Agreed. Some parts of the game look was better than in previous titles, namely how the player ship looks and how its parts move while maneuvering, but in general it even feels like a downgrade from that of X:R

You play a different game than me?

[Ihateeverybody]

20 years ago was Wing Commander Prophecy. Seriously. Go compare and come back and say that. Don't make me call the Hyperbole Police on you.

Can you think of a recent game in this Genre that looks better? Rebel Galaxy? Star Point Gemini?

I mean if you know of a better looking game of this type. Feel free to share with the rest of the class.

Oh and as for the price. There is this thing called a living wage. Not that the workers will actually see the profit of their work, but thats something you will learn in time (from point of the wealthy or the poor, whichever spot you were lucky enough to land on.)

This was obviously an exaggeration only to point how fugly the graphics looks.
Let's look at Everspace for a moment shall we................

this game looks good - not more not less. sure its far away from gaming possibilities but i love the overall art.

[LotR[Henchman]]

Easy explanation - instead of focusing on visual fidelity they're focusing on simulating a somewhat big universe. And costs of a game don't nessecarily reflect actual production costs - especially not in niches like SpaceSim or Grand Strategy or Truck/Train/Plane simulators...

Real question - is it worth the money for you? That's something only you yoruself can answer. It seems to have the same learning cliff phase a lot of niche simulations (with quite some depth compared to the overall shallow width most AAA offers) and a graphic that's more functional than great. The music is quite nice, though the technical implementation don't blends changing background songs (going into music of fights is quite abrupt).
In what it seemingly shines is the overall design of systems, you can build, fight and explore. And so far i'd say builde and explore more (at least in meaningful ways) than i most other Space Sims.

Than again.. i've not seen all too much yet, as it's not out that long.

I dunno what you are talking about either. Game looks nice. And comparing it to NMS is like saying I like color blue more than color red. Completely subjective. That said, the character models are terrible looking. And their animation. But doesn't bother me too much.

Why? Both are space games and all about exploring and crafting and researching and what not.
If you dont like the comparsion, take a look at Everspace.

I'm not very familiar with the X series tbh. I remember playing X3, I think it was that one or maybe X2.
It looks good enough.

And thats why devs get away with this crap.....clueless people that don't care

Clearly you were not alive 20 years ago.

[Fampat]

for what it look it performce too bad, sad but true, some regions have real good fps, other stutter like hell and cpu/gpu is on ~30%, this must be looked into

[salzlaender]

X was never known for best graphics, and if you think AAA titles are AAA because of the graphic you are wrong anyway (but btw. you save 50GB SSD space, which is worth 10 bucks, so you don't pay AAA price :P)

Putting that apart it is really not that aestetically for me too. I liked the clearer look of X3 more (I really loved that) This is a bit too muddy.

Graphics look comparable, based only on the 1st video, does not look like it has trading (I could be wrong) or station/ship management so....

So because we don't agree with you....we are the cause of the problem, that we don't believe exists.....okie fine.
