I owe this game an apology.
Yes, the controls is 10 times worse then in the previous one, but what I thought to be THE dumbest feature does in fact make the game SO MUCH better.
The walking mode is annoying 90 percent of the time, but then, it fucking hits you like a truck with breathtaing visuals, that make you immersed in a way, that has to be absolutely unique in all of gaming.
Need to play it again once I get a want for space sim
Those screenshots look good, did they update the visuals in one of the dlc?
@histoire
Yes, they are slowly updating the visuals. I am also playing it on full details, so there's that.
I ignored the game for a LONG time, since x3 is still a superior game. Obviously. 
But it does have it's merrit. I would also add, that this time, the galaxy is actually dynamic. The factions are actually building their own stations, and even ships require real resources, so they did push really hard towards simulation in this game.
@histoire
And yes. They ARE improving the game.
They are improving it SO much, that after 6 years, they managed to add FOV slider.
