  1. Wait, what was wrong with turn based mode? I've played all three original games and(and tried apocalypse on real time but played on turn based) I don't notice massive differences .-. Aliens being muppets? What. First game had more cartoony aliens, Apocalypse aliens were... Alieny. You know. Pretty incomprehensible. Well, okay, not literally, but you know what I mean. They are kind of hard to describe. I can give you guys retro future thing though, I did like it because I found it weird, but I can see why people might no like that. I do remember research three D: Though I agree that road vehicles are useless. I liked city better to geoscape because you get feeling of immersion better plus each company has more personality than invidual countries in first two =/ In first two they are just funders, in Apocalypse they all have their own missions(because they have different buildings), you can fight against them and they all have backstory to give them personality. Granted, original concept(and amount of stuff cut from Apocalypse that you can find in game files) would have made Apocalypse much better game but its still great one in my opinion.
  2. You quoting that post reminded me of Apocalypse, which is my fav XCOM game. And that reminded me of how XCOM fans tend to hate it. Then I actually started to wonder "Wait, I have always assumed that XCOM fans hate Apocalypse because its different from original(plus first sequel to original was basically identical game but reskinned and made unfairly hard so they had different expectations), but is that actually true?" So whats actual reason why XCOM fans dislike Apocalypse?
  3. So anyway, on earlier discussion about original game's UI... Its kind of interesting, UI itself is actually rather simple, but something about it has ability to make you feel "Ugh..." first time you play the game. I probably could have learned it without manual just by testing, but yeah.
  4. Well lucky me doesn't order stuff from Internet so its still cheaper on steam for me sadly...
  5. I feel bad at doing this to heartwarming post, but I have to say "Remake/reimagining" not "sequel" D:
  6. Most likely. Same thing about aliens. I mean we have only three different species in game currently.
  7. Eh, here in Finland(and probably one country to left on map ;P) new games cost around 50/60 euros anyway, so its not like its more expensive than when bought retail
  8. Yeah, it was nice how in Apocalypse they had several hidden movement screens
  9. I hope more people pre order from steam so I can get free stuff
  10. I figured out it on my own without anybody saying anything about overkill and I'm not really smart person
  11. Checked info about first game, that one had lots of patches that added new content even before expansion packs(and after them) so I think its safe to assume same apply here
  12. Males can never talk about females without talking about what they look like?
  13. Saw on a different forum. Not identical one of course, but also thread created by someone who created account to post it.
  14. I sucked in Swedish in good and even I can tell that thats bad Swedish
  15. And either way, graphic violence is more harmful to them than nudity.
  16. I generally think that games should down play gore/sex/language more often, not because I like censoring, but because its usually in games in order to make game have Mature rating and appeal to teenagers Aka I think game should have those only when its actually mature or done well instead of providing something for immature people
  17. According to Rock Paper Shotgun previews, casualty is still pretty high if you mess up
