Don't play around. Just get Elite Dangerous: Horizons.

Btw, If you want a space action game with a slightly strategical element, maybe try Starpoint Gemini Warlords. That's a bit arcady and more action focused, but it's pretty fun and entertain you'll for a while.

It's cheap, and when you're through it, then X4 will probably be in a better state than now.

Nah, the scam stuff is complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. With everything we know about SC's origin and further development it would be absurdly unlikely to be a scam, and there hasn't been any evidence.

But there is the real issue that it'll take a while longer to become something resembling a real game. If you don't wanna support its development (which isn't necessary, considering the cash influx), there is little reason to buy in.
am not attacking anyone hear am just saying what i read online for me it doesn't matter what game it is as longer it is fun and enjoyable

Yeah I get it, just thought it was worthwhile to point it out since people drop that claim at every corner.

This now, Star citizen in 2 years. It's actually coming along quite nicely now yet there is still a long way to go. Star Citizen is playable but if you do it don't expect to make pogress it's just for fun right now. Lot of people whine and ♥♥♥♥♥ about how they only make like 500 UEC per mission... it's not there for you to earn money it's just for fun right now.

X4 has better space legs than Elite ever will. A feature promised during the initial funding and development.

Well, if you want a space game, then not Star Citizen, because that's not a game.

It's 5 years in active development now and still has no gameplay. You can fly around in your overdetailed ship, land on an empty planet, do a couple of placeholder missions and watch everything glitching and breaking around you. 100% details, 0% content and I don't think that's a professional way to develop a game, so I would be careful if you want to spend money on that.

I'm enjoying X4 and yes, it has bugs and yes, some of them are gamebreaking, but if you manual save on different slots regulary before something breaks, then you can save your playthrough pretty easy. Also this game is way easier to understand, than X3. I tried to get into X3 for years but gave up a couple of hours later. Now, with a couple of tips and a beginners guide + ingame tutorials, I got into X4 fairly easy and it's a ton of fun and I might use that, to fianlly get into the other X games, too.

No one seems to mention Starpoint Gemini Warlords.
By all accounts that is a pretty decent X series SP alternative, been looking at it myself.
Its on sale also for cost of a Curry lol

But I don't really consider Warlords an alternative. Sure it's fun, but it's a bit shallow, has almost no economy going on and the lategame is just endless grind.

Eh its bad. I tried it. Combat is just so horrible and badly controled. Not to mention Ai can just 1ko your ship with sniper ships.
And it takes forever to build anything.
+ that stupid radiation mehanic

I liked the previous entry in their series but have to agree Warlords was a disappointment

X4 is a good game. It has issues right now, but the core gameplay is solid enough and fun. You can jump in and put many solid hours in and have plenty of fun in x4 right now.. i have over 30 already.

If you go around looking for reasons to hate on something, you will find them, the honest truth with x4 is the game is mostly stable and fun for those with mid to high end systems. It needs optimization and bug fixing, but there is plenty to do in the game and it easliy is the best space game I have played since x3 tc and ap. Egosoft has a good track record of keeping up on their games even if not perfect from the get go.

If you are looking for a very polished experience, elite dangerous is probably the best choice right now, idk about star citizen, the game looks like a scam to me, I have just stayed away.

x4 is still a good choice now if you have the space game itch, but it is not polished and you will run into bugs, but it has rewarding and fun gameplay. Many people are overly bitter about x rebirth and are trying to hurt this game.
I bought rebirth too and think it is silly to hate on this game because you were not happy with the last game. Egosoft listened and gave the fans what they asked for, and I have full confidence that they are going to fix it up and add more good stuff soon.
