Hey guys, since the X3 games are on sale today, I thought I might pick one or two of them up. However, they remind me of EVE which I found way too complex and I wasn't really having fun with it. So is X3: Terran Conflict similar to that aspect, or is it more easier / fun to play? Thanks for your help!

It has a massive learning curve and is a complex game, but when your into it it will suck up vast hours of your life.

Ditto..If you found Eve online too complex or overwhelming then X3 might not be for you.

I agree with this as well. Though, X3 TC is a bit more forgiving than EVE and easier.

TC. Don't be too intimidated. I found X3 TC's learning curve to be quite easy. You'll pick it up. It's a great game. Get it. :D

I bought the game after watching these video turotials http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=297924. These videos helped me get a handle on the game and I enjoy it immensely.

There is a learning curve, but it's that difficult. Give it a try!

I was never able to get into TC, but I just grabbed Albion Prelude. For $2.50 I guess I'll give the series another shot.

A thousand times more complex. Freespace was simple compared to these games.

It's complex, but if you learn it, as many others here have noted, it will eat your free time. I recommend it.

In my experience, the most satisfying games are those that are most difficult to learn.

It's a good game, if it's the type of game you like. It DOES take a time investment in order to learn how to play. It's very sandboxy, you can fight, or trade, build a fleet or an economic empire. If you like space sims, choice, complicated gameplay that takes time to learn, it's definitely a good game.

Sounds like my kind of game.

I played EVE for a while, but it was too slow for me. How does X3 compare to EVE in that regard?

If you watch those tutorial videos, you'll find the game MUCH easier to grasp. I had a hard time initially and put down the game for months. I picked it up again recently and forced myself to play and got hooked. I've watched a few of those videos and they've helped me even more, which is making me want to play the game even more. At least with Terran Conflict, I'm sure you will more than get your money's worth.

I can't get excited about hthis game even after watching the tutorials. Sounds like you have to grind away for months and months to get anything out of it. Terrible game.
