Am I the only one who thought that Firaxi's XCOM: EU was a great game?
I mean, I can go to work, go to the university, get home and play one or 2 combat missions, without senseless, slow pace and uterly boring bug hunting on the map. I Agree that some things could be better, specially the strategy layer with more bases and etc...
But the faster paced and more dynamic game wasn't bad at all! You can see that by sales numbers, so sucessfull that they are going to do a expansion/sequel. If it was an exact remake of the original, only the hardcore fans would keep on playing/liking the game, other players would say the game was no fun, and the franchise/game style would die out.
