X-Com Enemy Unknown

[Leroy]

Another fucking game taking my time away from csgo...

Anyone else play it?

I played the original for FUCKING years growing up, and this version is waaaay better

Maps are a bit tighter, so you're not hunting and then getting blasted, cover system is the tits, upgrades on your squad, difficulty is perfect...

Base planning is a bit odd, you don't buy scientists and engineers anymore, they just come now, I think anyways.. I'm still learning it, may have put 8 hours into it...

And once again, they captured the essence of the game, the squad, its such a strange thing, I almost felt a twinge of sadness when I sent my canadian gunzerker into a store, run and gun style, and mickey roux died.

I love the bagpipe music as well lol

watched on youtube, not bad. reminds me of old-school commandos. ever play ?

 

[Leroy]

Yeah I played it, I like these kinds of games, turn-based strategy like civilization, and this old one where you played mercs killing shit.

good fun, but yeah, this is a great game..

 

[DatGuy]

>Rugby players wear no protection
>American Football Players wear padding all over their bodies

Yes, I agree...
Rugby is for sissies..

How this went from xcom to ruggers, I will never know...

But I just finished the game over the weekend, I'm playing on ironman mode right now... it's a bitch when one of your snipers goes down, the rest are fodder....

The save game issues though BLOW. B.L.O.W.

Just an FYI, if you create over 100 saves, total, over every game, it will fuck up.

[DatGuy]

Im gonna play leroy in multiplayer...and make him cry

 

[Cock]

This game is awesome.
4 hours of my life Was better spent playing this then GO.

 

[Leroy]

you've only put in 4 hours? I must have logged 50 by now.. I'm playing ironman.. WAAAY different experience.. no reloading once your top sniper dies.

Now I creep, overwatch, creep, overwatch, creep, overwatch..

I just assaulted the enemy base portion with two SHIV's, 2 snipers and 2 heavy's, and only one sniper and one heavy made it out

 

[mandy]

I dont have enough time right now and I have too many games....might have to wait to fight you...Im moving on saturday and wont have internet for a few weeks

 

[Leroy]

I'm super careful about my squad now, I roll 2 goliaths, two snipers, and two lessers to get them up to snuff. .

I literally crawled through the craft with the ethereals because I can remember how hard it was last time.

Now, I had my two snipers equip ghost armour, infiltrate the last bit, sneak in behind the bad guy to expose him, then sent my goliaths in and they made mincemeat of him in one round.

BIG WIN

 

[Cock]

Game is srsly wicked,

 

[Leroy]

You play the first two? xcom and tftd?

I never actually finished TFTD

 

[Cock]

Nope, i've Never played a game like it before.

 

[Leroy]

The first one is truly an exercise in patience. I'm sure you've heard of how hard it is, but it is FUCKING hard.

One shot kills 90% of the time, no matter what armour you have, you typically don't get a reaction shot, and aliens do. And you have to prime your nades, which I usually would do to 0 turns, meaning explode upon thrown. However, if one of your guys dies, he drops the nade, and it explodes usually merc'ing everyone nearby. Yeah. fucking difficult.

The maps are all random and so are the enemies placement at beginning of map. It's way more broader though, different gun selections etc.

For example, the first one, I had a guided rocket that I could curve around corners (by setting waypoints) and merc pretty much anyhting from teh safety of the skyranger.

Missions take a lot longer, the enemies will invade your base (usually when your on mission, so you to leave heavily defended squaddies in home base)

Yeah, but an AMAZING game for 1994
