Title: X-com: Enemy Unknown
Post by: Grishnag on September 15, 2012, 04:12:19 pm: It's a new X-com game made by Firaxis (you know from Civ games)
at first i was sceptical but then i watched

and that got me excited because it looks like it might be hard to play and well the last time i heard about X-com was when they announced they would make a fucking FPS reboot of the game.
No thank you X-com is a Turn based game not a fucking FPS so im happy they are making a turn based game again, Though i was a bit sceptical at first because most of the time rebooting old games means making them a lot easier then they should be but this game still seems difficult
Sure you dont have 20 people in a squad anymore but making a mistake still means you lose people

anyway here is a preview if you feel like watching 1 hour of gameplay is to long for you :P

It's not exactly ufo/terror with better graphics and modern interface, it's a bit more casual friendly, but still damn fun. Ironman (one autosave when you turn game off) on Classic diffuculty is quite exciting and challenging (or im just bad).

Post by: Yoica on October 23, 2012, 07:19:22 pm: I haven't gone straight for story only I take any mission that comes along. Done most if not all research including catching live aliens and quite a number of the foundry upgrades. Almost all the soldiers are at least major rank and the ones with psionic powers are maxed.
