    Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

    Are you pulling the trigger etc in this game or you tell your troops what to do and then see how it plays out?

      the 2nd one... you don't actually pull the trigger... you position the troops and chance to hit is numbers based.

        Thanks. Seems interesting. May wait for a price drop or find it used.

                  Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

                  Just finished the game after taking a week or so off from my PS3. Anti-climatic ending, but it was really nice to finally understand the true purpose of the alien invasion based on the info given by the Uber Ethereal. I think a sequel is pretty much set in stone judging by the healthy sales of the game. Looking fwd to my next playthrough.

                      PC always win if you got a good gaming rig. Can't go wrong with either though.

                        Agree 100% with you on this. Finished the game this weekend as well, and the ending wasn't really very epic, but was fun to finish.

                        Also, by the end I was feeling the game got super easy. I never really had to worry about dying once i had my final full squad together. Maybe part of it was just me learning how to play the game right, but I'll definitely play on a harder level next time.

                        Looking forward to a sequel for sure! Also want some huge DLC that changes things up a bit more.

                          Well I went with the PC copy and I'm having a blast, but this game is tough.
                          I started out strong built my guys up, did a few crashed UFO mission and got my 1st UFO landing and thats where it all went wrong.
                          All my vets are dead and I'm on my 3rd team of rookies, UK and France have pulled out. It's refreshing to struggle with a game and try and think of new ways to go about a mission.

                            Gonna start another playthrough on Classic with Second Wave options. This should make the outcome of battles in the second half of the game less predictable. You're right the game got a bit easy towards the end. Two Snipers leveled up to Colonel can reek havoc on the battlefield. I may set up a house rule to where I deploy only one Sniper per battle.

                              I had one sniper the whole time....I'd usually have 1 Sniper, 2 Assault, 2 Support, 1 Heavy (not a big fan of the heavy overall I found).

                              If I stayed smart, behind cover, and used overwatch all the time I'd be pretty solid.

                                Just a heads up on a sequel. I saw a list of upcoming games at GS the other day and it showed a Xcom gaming coming out in Dec. I wasn't sure if it was a GOTY with the DLC or a new game.I'll try to look closer next time I'm in there.
