re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

So how does singleplayer work anyway? Does it just keep going with random events or is there a story with an ending or both and you keep going after the ending?

I would like to know this.

Only a few more days! I haven't bought a game in a good while and am ready for this.

There are story missions along side "other" missions the game does eventually end. Jake has said a play through on normal difficulty is about 10-15 hours on Classic difficulty you can expect a 20 hour experience.

So Gamefly came through big time. As of yesterday, it already shipped out this and Dishonored. First time I've had them ship me games on a Saturday. Usually a new release ships Monday and gets here Wednesday, so hopefully this will show up on release day.

Can't wait!

I believe I am going to start on classic. I would rather have the game last as looooong as possible.
And I usually name at least 2 team members with easy ways of determining they are Red Shirt 1 and Red shirt 2...

re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Sergent Apone - Squad Leader
Bishop - psionic abilities
Ricco Frost - Heavy
Corporal Hicks
Private Drake
Private Vasquez - Heavy

So far this is how its looking for the first crew. Ripley, Hudson, Gorman, and Crowe should also make appearances lol.

Your "Aliens" Marines will be making a return.

So Classic = Hard?

Are those the only 2 settings for this game, normal & classic?

Posted earlier (PC Version)

how to change the difficulty

Just go to the XCOM demo steam install folder (\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown-Demo\Engine\Config).

And then open "BaseGame.ini" with notepad, edit the line "GameDifficulty=+0.0" change this to "GameDifficulty=+3.0"

0.0 easy
1.0 normal
2.0 classic
3.0 impossible

The demo is set to easy I changed to classic and started losing guys.

I tried Impossible and quickly realized I'll give it a go after I win on Classic... lol
Did make up some new curse words though.
