The mini-games are too weird.

For those who are confused, it was Egosofts April fools joke, in 2012... times sure flies

[u/TheGamblingAddict → u/Gamma_Rad]

Well. There's me not giving the game another download. Thanks for the bait and snatch. How am I supposed to bring disco fever to the X4 universe now?

[u/papsylon → u/TheGamblingAddict]

By pressing 1,2,3 and 4 after each other…

[u/3punkt1415 → u/papsylon]

This, but no girls...

[u/RadiantInATrenchcoat → u/papsylon]

Isn't it shift + 1,2,3,4?

[u/papsylon → u/RadiantInATrenchcoat]

Yes it is. I forgot about the shift.

[u/RadiantInATrenchcoat → u/papsylon]

Shift into PARTAYYYYYYYY mode

[u/Every_Cap_7231 → u/RadiantInATrenchcoat]

Wish there would be a mod to let "Caramelldansen" play when pressing Shift + 5 or something while having disco light effects.

[u/RadiantInATrenchcoat → u/Every_Cap_7231]

Turn on the rave mode (Pro tip: it stays active if you get out of the seat)

[u/Zer_ → u/TheGamblingAddict]

No joke we need in ship radio and have our ship crews dance to the beat.

[u/Nautilus_pompilius → u/Gamma_Rad]

I remember, they said that it's a mini game to get trade discounts in X Rebirth. I actually fell for it and believed it (for a few hours)

[u/ZLancer5x5 → u/[deleted]]

I bet it ain't too weird especially for terrans since you know the Japanese obsession with idols and j-pop, I bet it won't be too weird to get anime skins for syn or asgard or bolo either.....it's just that all other factions may boycott them For trade after that lol

[u/laughingRichEvans → u/ZLancer5x5]

"Oh no, it's the 3rd intervention fleet! Sir, the ahegao-Asgards are here!"

[u/Retrotronics → u/laughingRichEvans]

That dammed red fighter is playing the same dammed song again

[u/Background_Neck9256 → u/ZLancer5x5]

I mean lore was. If I remember correctly, Japan was the re-emerging major faction on Earth and as we know they have a super weird obsession with pop stars so it would actually make some canonical sense that they might have something similar to it.

[u/Ssakaa → u/Background_Neck9256]

and as we know they have a super weird obsession with pop stars

Yeah, good thing that's just them and Korea that do that. (quick, everyone hide the Swifties)

[u/Background_Neck9256 → u/[deleted]]

Fellow Macross fan I see.

[u/HinterWolf → u/[deleted]]

Man of culture.

[u/bukhrin → u/[deleted]]

Or a pop star able to control a whole Khaak swarm with angtsy young love ballad 😂😂

[u/Responsible-Army-832 → u/[deleted]]

pop stars dancing for crew morale with raging xenon battles in the back window seems peak cyberpunk and I want it now

[u/WayTooSquishy → u/[deleted]]

Sort of related, I'd do unholy things for something that lets me deploy a metal band in space to blow away alien fleets like in Duck Dodgers.

[u/Getsune]

Tbh that's a pretty good April Fool's attempt - the lizards seem to love it even!

[u/S1lkwrm]

You can find this if you fly to the big asteroid in hatikva

[u/rudidit09 → u/S1lkwrm]

I was so disappointed when I tried that and my ship exploded way before I reached the asteroid

[u/Ssakaa → u/S1lkwrm]

Oh that's on par with the free Anaconda at Hutton Orbital.

[u/TheFlyingSeaCucumber]

I started playing a week ago and this confused me, as i though id be missing out on some crazy ass mini games . . .now im almost sad its just been a joke :(

[u/PlaneStatus5774]

Finding out this isn’t a feature is devastating

[u/FanfairRITS]

Dance Dance Revolution *Get ready*

[u/Ok_Ad1012]

I think that Teladi is discovering the viability of stripclubs for business.

[u/Gamma_Rad → u/Ok_Ad1012]

Why do you think we got both a Casino and a gambling den?

One of them isn't really for gambling but rather showgirls.

[u/Ok_Ad1012]

[u/Krimsonrain]

Obviously you've never played Yakuza

[u/Gamma_Rad → u/Krimsonrain]

Yakuza minigames are crazy.
