Greywolf_Starkiller Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Heh, I STILL have Enemy Unknown, TFTD, and Apocolypse, on my system, and still play all of them. I have all three UFO games, and Extraterrestrials as well. These games, while still fun, lacked something that made the three X-coms such great games. Now I found Xenonauts, and while still early, seems to have much of what made X-com great. I have installed the alpha and will comment on it, once I've had to chance to look at it. And I wouldn't worry about the new "Enemy Unknown" game. If Firaxis manages to pull it off, and I think they will, most X-com fans will get BOTH games. I know I certainly will. ^_- Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Glad you like it. I think the main issue right now is the lack of AI, which we're working on pretty urgently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf_Starkiller Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hmmm. I don't know. The way I see people play on Youtube, it's a GOOD thing that the Aliens are rather dumb. (The above was stated with tongue firmly in cheek! <grin>) Still, looking forward to it. I've played the three X-coms since their release (Still have the original CDs), and being a veteran of alien tactics (or lack thereof), I'm curious to see how good a fight THESE guys can give me. I remember my very first X-com game the day it was released. I clustered my guys around the Sky Ranger ramp, looking in all directions. An alien in the bushes tossed a grenade in the middle of them on the alien turn, and mission over. I never looked back, and they gave me a stiff fight to the very end. And TFTD was even harder. Ah, nostalgia! I'd like to see the Xenonaut AI give a tough fight, but I'm not really sure if a lot of modern gamers can handle it. I have people tell me that X-com is cool, but they found it too hard! Heh, I told 'em they'd better stay away from TFTD then! ^_- Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf_Starkiller Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hmmm. Took me awhile to figure out the air combat. I kept destroying the buggers. Finally sent just the F17s, had one fire a sidewinder, and then close with guns. Took him down nicely. It IS rather hard to get them over land though. ^_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
