Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
crazy in-depth (and awesome) article about XCOM and how it came to be (and almost failed twice)

Also makes me realize that even though I'm a programmer I don't think I could sacrifice that much to make a game. Crazy what Jake had to go through!Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

If you have the PC version, I believe there is a mod that allows you to change the genders.Comment

"It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Yes. Yes. Yes! As much fun as I had with this game on Xbox, I just don't have the time to sit down and play it that much anymore. Totally looking forward to many more play throughs on the train, at work, on the can
It's not going to be a .99 cent game though. My guess is $10 maybe $15. Day one purchase for me no matter what it is though. I hope it includes the "Second Wave" DLC options - like I said, I never got to complete a play through with those.Comment

Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
I rented this from Gamefly for 360 and like it so much that my wife went ahead and bought it for me on a good deal w/coupons and stuff via Gamefly.
I have been enjoying the game for a few weeks now, reading up on the wiki for it and the 2k boards to get some pointers.
My hesitation to play up until recently is that I'm AWFUL at RTS games. But it just looked so damn cool I had to give it a go. I freely admit that I play on Easy, which works perfectly for me since strategy games are my weakest gaming genre. Not bored at all and having a blast.
This game is addicting in the same way Far Cry 3 is; one more mission, then I'll have this or that researched, get that new armor, etc. Great stuff. It's depressing when you lose a soldier you've had over several missions.
VERY well executed game....I see why this thread is so long! It deserves the love.GO 'HAWKS!

Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
I love the game play and I dislike the base strategy part.
I'm good at the game play - it's fun as hell leveling up characters and specializing them and trying to take down levels without loosing anyone.
But I suck at strategy style games and the game gets ruined for me between missions when I'm in my base having to choose what to research, what to build, where to put satellites, etc... Not because it's not well designed, but because I just suck at these types of games and always screw it up or I want to be able to do everything and get frustrated that I can't. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to certain games and I get frustrated when I can't have every single country at 0 threat and go through the game without losing any of them... Things like that; I keep reloading trying to figure out where I went wrong and then restarting the game to try to avoid that mistake, even when you just can't.Comment

Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
I am 3 quarters of the way finished with this game on my first play through on Normal.
The game is hard, and addicting. I have given it a long rest but will go back and finish it here over the weekend.
A real gem.Now Playing on PS5:

Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
This game still gets me heart broken whenever I see it.
When I lost my super team, I lost my want to play this game again. I'm sure it'll come back soon, but man can this game be emotionally draining.Too Old To Game Club
