the xcom eu is utterly shit and have absolutely NOTHING to do with the xcom serie, the only thing in commen is the history and the facts its a turnbased strategy, there is no other base for them to be in the same serie.
there is sooo much wrong with xcom eu its rediculess.
i will mention a few.
movement system, camera system, shooting system, destruction of inviroment system, alian ai, etc. it is a terrible game and its a freaking joke to call it xcom, its taking a giant shit on the original and i hate fira for doing it.
dont even try to compare it to xcom becouse it got around as much to commen with the old game as doom 1 would have with helo (both kill stuff and both fps.)
xenonauts on the other hand is true to the real xcom serie soul! and it feels awesome, i would have loved full 3d with good camera controll, but i MUCH rather have this simple graphic and the awesome xcom feeling and gameplay then some sell out bullshit xcom eu which have nothing in commen with the old xcom besides the name, genre and the overall story line.
ps: i REALLY wanted to like the xcom eu since i am a SUCKER for nice graphic, and i have completed the game on classic (not ironmode becouse the game got nothing to do with your mistakes when a 99% shot miss your man dies the rest of your squed goes in panic by unlucky RNG and you just lost due to retarded mechanics . the game is more luck then its actual tactics and i am a fcking good gamer when it comes to making tactical decisions so that pisses me off alot, the old xcom at least had the decency to be fair with the RNG, if you missed you had movement points left to react accordingly and the RNG alone couldnt make you lose EVER. in xcom eu the rng is 80% of the reason you lose or win and still it got the balls to call itself an strategy game, i have seen more strategy in a casino )
