X (video game)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

** Well, those and [[More Dakka|Flak Artillery Arrays or Starburst Shockwave Cannons]].

* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: In ''TC'', the aforementioned typo in the data for the Shadow missile that turned the Skirnir into a [[Game Breaker]].

* [[It's Easy So It Sucks]]: When ''Terran Conflict'' came out, some veterans were annoyed because it no longer took as long to make your first million credits.

* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: When ''Terran Conflict'' came out, some veterans were annoyed because it no longer took as long to make your first million credits.

* [[~~Its~~ Hard So It Sucks]]: Players new to the series sometimes have this reaction because it ''does'' [[Early Game Hell|take a while for the sandbox to turn a noticeable profit]]. ''X'' is a game to be played only if you're willing to stick it out for a while: the first million is always the hardest, but after that you can start building factories and your [[Memetic Mutation|profitsss]] will multiply.

** Then ''Terran Conflict'' got [[It's Easy So It Sucks|the opposite complaint]] from some veterans.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The Egosoft forum has developed a few.

Line 69:

* [[That One Sidequest]]: '''''Every''''' [[Escort Mission]] except the one in ''X3: Terran Conflict's'' Terran Plot (which is the exception that proves the rule). See that page for the reasons why players avoid them like the plague.

** [[Stalking Mission|"Follow Ship"]], because it takes ''forever'' since you can't just call up the quest giver and tell him the target's destination, even though it's prominently displayed in the target's infobox. "Retrieve Stolen Ship" because you have to make the pilot bail out, which requires you to [[Cherry Tapping]] the target until the [[Random Number God]] smiles on you.

* [[They Changed It Now It Sucks]]:

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]:

** The reaction of some of the fan base to the fact that ''X: Rebirth'' will restrict the player to personally flying one roughly M6-size ship (as opposed to any manned, non-Kha'ak vessel in the universe for every other game except <nowiki>X:BtF</nowiki>).

*** The ''Albion Skunk's'' [[Attack Drone|Attack Drones]] have [[Incredibly Lame Pun|taken flak]] as well: though you can take control of them remotely, if the drone gets blown up you return to controlling the ''Albion'' instead of dying. This takes some of the danger out of being a fighter jock, for those who enjoy it.
