Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Serpent in the Staglands Dead State Divinity: Original Sin Project: Eternity Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 A Beautifully Desolate Campaign Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
That was a "demo"? It was just a minute of action scenes spliced together. I'm as skeptical as any of you but you can't judge the game based on that.

Yeah, just seeing all aspects of gameplay is not enough to judge. What was I thinking.

This particular video did not show "all aspects of gameplay". It was trailer fluff. The previous, more famous one showed many aspects of gameplay, though.

Looking at the geoscape...
i just gave up hope
for all the REAL x-com fans watch this and be sad


this is not x-com:(


Fuken hilarious! Kwan mil-chatter in the background while a Michael-Bay-like music score beats for the duration, bald-headed spec ops types running and shooting stuff from a first person and/or shoulder view perspectives, cut scenes... everywhere. Yeah, this is X-COM bros, this is X-COM alright... CoD: The X-COM Chronicles :D

Eh, I know it doesn't look great at this point, but they're just trying to sell this thing to the xbox crowd. I'll wait for a video showcasing a full mission of the PC version.

I'm going to assume it's just as shit as it seems. Then I'll be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be a good game :)

‘I’m talking to Rock, Paper, Shotgun this morning, can I tell them that we have the option to turn off action cam and turn off soldier voices?’ You can ask him, I told him that this was gonna come up. He said ‘Yes, you can tell them we have that option.’

Actually, let me tell you about something else we have. I played through the entire last game, we have an option in-game currently where you can hide enemy health and you can hide damage that you do, and that was something that people had brought up. In the original of course you had no idea how much damage you did, you had no idea how much health the enemies had and so we added that and that’s how I played this last game. It’s actually very different. You can’t say like ‘oh this guy can take this shot because he’s guaranteed to take out that alien there if he hits’, so it’s interesting. That’s also an option we’ve added is the option to turn off enemy health and any sort of damage tech so that the player can play a little bit more in the dark like the original.

nope, too late, not listening
:rpgcodex:

I don’t know that I’ve ever talked about this before, but in our game the aliens don’t leave their weapons behind. When they die their weapons self-destruct but if you capture those aliens, then the weapons don’t self-destruct, and then you can research those.
there jerks firaxis is making the game harder

That would be pretty good satire actually if it turned out that the aliens were attacking us because they wanted our women and our jobs.

Will probably reserve judgement until the game is nearer to release but I don't see me enjoying it but then again didn't like fallout 3 because it wasn't like the original but found myself enjoying it after renting it out and bought the game.

If it turns out to be a turd at least I still have the original three games and my happy memories of them.

I haven't followed this game, but can someone enlighten me how the cover system works since it's considered so terrible? Compared to JA2 for example, where you constantly sit in cover and pop heads - in what manner is this worse?

So you are too lazy to do the research yourself, too lazy to read the research others have done for you...

You know what, this "XCOM" is probably GOTY material for you.

Will probably try a demo since the glam cam or whatever they called it is now optional.
