XCOM: Enemy Unknown

re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

I know man, it is a total pain to stay in all the games I like.

NCAA 13 I am loving and we are in season 5 of our online dynasty. It takes a lot of my time.

Madden 13 I like it and are doing our online franchise which takes more time.

NHL 13 I am really really liking and enjoying my GM franchise

Battlefield 3 is still my favorite game yet has been on back end of getting time due to sport titles.

I have 2 games I am buying the rest of the year. NBA2k13 & X-Com, but where am I going to get the time to play them

I really need to buy only ONE sport game from here on out and just focus on it for franchise play. This way I am not bouncing between 4 different sport games and then non-sport games.

After work, taking care of house, and spending quality time with the fiance' I have barely any time to game as it is. Now trying to divide that little time among 6 different games in the rotation is impossible.

Just send the games you don't have time to play to my house :wink:

Lost 2 people on the second mission on Classic-Ironman :-(

This is exactly how I'm playing (Come 8pm tonight or so)
The "finality" of it makes all the difference IMO.

Want this so bad, but then I look at the games I have and haven't come close to finishing.

Holding out for now. Ugh. For now.

I'll keep reading. Of course, the more I read, the more I'll want. Darn you all.

Just picked up my copy from Best Buy instead of Gamestop. Didn't even pre-order and still got the DLC. The code comes in the box

This link has all the info......trying to hold out, but these impressions are making it tough. I've been playing too many sports games recently, maybe X-COM would help balance things out? lol I'm trying any which way to rationalize a purchase for this game, it looks great!

In-between missions hit start and you can select save game.

Playing the demo of this. Looks pretty cool and a nice change of pace. May pick this up tomorrow. I have some credit at Best buy I haven't used.

re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

I have found no greater joy in the actual missions than (not really a spoiler, but just in case)

Spoiler

trying to balance the safety of your squad against getting close enough to capture aliens alive.

I absolutely love the risk/reward, especially knowing that a wrong move has permanent consequences. I'm currently juggling 9 other games, but they've all taken a backseat.

re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Ok I know this is "Noobish" but at what point does the actual game start?? I have done the tutorial and now I have been asked to do a "Council Mission".

Also I do remember someone saying you should start from scratch after doing the training??? Any help/tips for a first-timer to get me going would be appreciated.
