New X-COM game coming . . . and it's turn based strategy!

PC is always better.

PC is always better.

With the exception of sports games, I still have yet to see a single game of any kind where this is not true.

What sucks is seeing PC games UI's neutered to be worakable with two joystics and 8 buttons.

Looks like we dirty european peasants will have to wait until friday. 

[katmai]

Downloaded and ready to play tonight.
Will be using all of you as my squads.

Don't kill me. 

im gonna try and not kill anyone. But i don't make any promises.

[katmai]

Welp two missions in, Meri has been promoted to Heavy Weapons, Brazen died in 2nd mission and France is freaking the fuckout already and close to abandoning XCOM

Playing on Classic difficulty.

[katmai]

Jaron died on his first mission
Seedy has done better and promoted to Support Class, while Capturedfairy was designated Assault class.

[Tamas]

how the FUCK can it be unlocked for you already?

Because it unlocked on steam at midnight east coast, which is 8pm monday for me.

[katmai]

So after six missions,
Brazen and Jaron are KIA, France has surrendered  
Beeb has joined the ranks And been designated as Heavy Weapons just like Meri, Derspicy is support class joining Seedy. And just one assault soldier, that being CF.
only sniper I have is rng Japanese soldier who is also highest ranking xcom at
Lt.

lol nice. So how is it? Apparently vpn unlock works on it, so if I can find a cheap enough cd-key source I might buy it today

Amazon.com had a pre-order at $45 (€35).

[katmai]

I'm enjoying it (the original is reason I first bought a PC). You can customize your squads name, nickname and appearance as well as the color tint of armor, but can't customize their nationality hence why no Syt yet on my squad.

Important to get satellites to reduce panic on the continent you don't choose as home
Base. (How I lost France was overlooking satellites)

Ran into three species so far the sectoids, thin men shown in demo and new
Class.

Missions have been 1 scripted rescue important figure, two downed ufos and three alien abductions site.
And most important is remember to end squad in cover (brazen died) and to being medi packs(jaron died)

[Tamas]

Make me a sniper! Not a Japanese one though

[katmai]

Make me a sniper! Not a Japanese one though

have no control of what class the soldier gets designated.
All rookies start generic class and after one or two missions are given class.
So odds of Hungarian becoming sniper are 1/4.

bah!
