![]() ![]() These are ones where pirates are assaulting a base. On the plus side, pirate siege missions are actually do-able. I keep getting my butt handed to me, so I will ignore those for now until I get a better ship. I exited Steam and now the controller appears to be functioning fine.Īt this early stage of the game I'm still in the flying garbage scow and have come to realize that the flying trash can is not the kind of ship one takes to answer distress signals. I had to do some googling and found out that I could disable the XBox Game Bar and that the virtual keyboard was actually Steam's fault (one of the Steam Big Screen features). Then sometimes a virtual keyboard would pop up. Every so often the Xbox Game Bar would pop up and the controller would feel sluggish and unresponsive. I had some initial frustration with my xbox360 controller. Personally I like fumbling around games systems first but to each his own. However, I skimmed through the linked tutorial video and there is definitely some good tips in there. There are some button prompts it gives you and I was able to complete first few missions no problem. Side note: I didn't have any issues just booting it up and playing. I 'm going to do some combat missions tonight, play with the 3D tactical screen, etc.i None yet but I'm barley scratched the surface here. It feels fine so far though and the controller works great. didn't get to much of this yet besides running delivery missions and trading. ![]() It's an interesting choice and I think it works great. the "screens" in the cockpit are all CRT so made to look hazy. Graphics: Hard to explain but the cockpit looks like Wing commander. The bars have mini games in them! Asteroids anyone? Dice poker? Game of Pool? I liked it in the first one and it's even better here. I have also yet felt a need to skip one.Ītmosphere/World building. I have yet to hear same song after about 3 hours of playing/listening. I just kept it on the Title screen for a hour while I did chores. You can change songs/stations ala Grand Theft series. The soundtrack is 20+ hours and so far pretty awesome. It's a love letter to WC Privateer and a passion project. I played with an Xbox 360 and Xbox One controller just to see if there was a difference. I have read about the game and at least was aware of the autochase mechanic. Random observations after Playing the first couple story missions and ran about 4 side missions. The Xbox controller works really really well, but I had been hoping to play this entirely with HOTAS controls. It's really clunky mapping the buttons, and throttle is outright not working properly. My biggest beef with the game so far is the half-baked HOTAS support. $107k cockpits are kind of like the Millenium Falcon cockpit vs. The starter ship feels like a piece of crap the $100k multi-role ship cockpit feels more competent but like you're in a civilian ship retrofitted for combat and the $107k combat ship feels like a combat ship. I earned enough money to try the first two ship upgrade options, and I love how different the cockpits feel. Overall I'm really loving the game so far after a few hours in. So far it seems to be a pretty similar feel to the first game, but I'm only a short ways into the main story. Is this one a little more engaging on the narrative side of things? I liked the mechanics of the original well enough but the characters and what little story line that there was beyond generic and dull enough that I gave up on it pretty fast. ![]()
