X3 for Pc

In spite of the App Store assuring me that the this app games would run on my system - after Catalina .. no run....

it says there is support for gamepads and microsoft 360 controller, it does not recoginize mine…i know the controller is fine cause works absolutely perfect with other titles such as RAGE…this is terrible.

This is a great game if you are patient, love depth and complexity. This is not a jump in a fighter seat and win in a couple of days game- AT ALL. This is a long-term game that combines some RPG, FPS and builder/strategy elements. Warning- there is a steep learning curve. Not for the faint of heart! But if you're tired of the same old repetative games, try this one on for size! This is the biggest, non-linear sandbox game that allows you to control your outcome. Many tasks can be automated, or you can take control yourself. You can build your own factories to build and supply your space fleet, or you can sell what you build or do a combo of the two. Also, you can be a trader, be a fighter, explore or any combo. You really do control what you want to do. There is a storyline that you can jump in and out of at will, meaning you don't have to follow it all. I wish there was a "research" element to it, in order to develop new items and skills, but it works without that. Also, there isn't multiplayer, so it's a solo game only. There is a bonus pack, but it was developed for the PC. It can be installed on the Mac, but you have to dig in the forums and it is a little complex. It would be nice if there was a straight forward port of it for the Mac. I've installed it and it is totally worth the effort, but better support by the makers would be nice. Bottom line- great game, great depth, but it isn't a casual game.

Love the this app games. Beware though new users it has a very steep learning curve. No tutorials but they have a manual you can view with a few FAQs and tips. And there is a flight school near the start to learn the basics of flight. Otherwise it is a beyond open world to explore. Game occasionally crashes on start that requires me to hard reboot. (Does not respond to a force quit command) Otherwise it is just as great as the other this app titles.
