thanks!

Thanks for your help.

I haven't been visting this forum for a very long time.

Total dissapointment with the x-com re-release.

2 better Xcom Turn-Base RPG Alternative

1) Tactics Orge : Let Us Cling Us Together ( 5x better )
2) Front Mission 5
3) Disgea Series

Both can play on PC now. (even low spec, i play on HD4000)

XCOM is not a turned based RPG. It is a turned based strategy game. The reboot is quite good despite there are some glaring flaws just like the original. Firaxis will never redo an old game with a new coat as they prefer to change 1-2 core mechanics to make the game different. The upcoming Civilization Beyond Earth will probably be a completely different game so expecting it to be Alpha Centuri with better graphics is pretty much guaranteed disappointment.

There is Xenonaunts for those who want a more refined version of X-COM. Possibly Massive Chalice.

At this day and age with increasing development cost and other issues, expecting a decades old classic remake to be exactly the game is absurd. As long as the core game is good, I think I am more than happy.

How are you able to play those 2 games / or games given that they are not officially released for PC?

emulators I supposed.

That would explain it.

Thanks.

You havnt play enough games.

It only took 5 hours for me to give up X-Com.
I wasted USD50 on this piece of...


Why it is flawed?

1) No depth
- I played too many Turn-Based Strategy, X-COM other than better graphic, its nothing else..

When you try games like Front Mission 5 (2005), Tactics Orge(2009)
The Job System, Item Customization, Char Skill Development, Party Customization, even non-linear story line...

It is FAR too advance compared to X-COM.

Highly Recommended you go try Front Mission 5, Tactic Orge

Nah, you have ridiculous expectations in games. First Age of Wonders 3 isnt good for you, then now, XCOM isnt good for you. XCOM is not perfect in any way but for a reboot of a classic game, I think Firaxis did a decent job at it. The probably still need another expansion if not 2 to full expand the game.

Considering that TBS was a dead franchise, I aint gonna expect much from the developers.

I think you prefer Japanese games more than Western TBS. I aint a fan of Japanese developers because the way they treat PC in general and their business model.

Try Xenonaunts if you want something deeper.

Cheese, honestly. I like the way you reply and comment.
But i dont think that is ridiculous expectation in games.
Strategy games always come with deep gameplay, and lots of system features.

By the way. Xenonauts, after read your reply.

2 youtube video. I made the purchase from GoG.
Thanks for the good recommendation.

No worries, I have been itching to get it too.

I like XCOM but it fell short in certain aspects which made me interested in Xenonaunts. It is sad that Firaxis did not want to release another expansion to expand the lackluster end game.

I'll just wait for a sale to pick this up. Heard so many good things about it. Do post feedback once you dig in a dozen of so hours.

Maybe you can start a new threat for Xenonauts

i will post my review shortly. It should be what a hardcore game looked like

I think XCOM thread should be fine. Considering XCOM is very much dead now.

Xenonaunts is designed as a spiritual successor to XCOM so I dont see why we need another thread.

XCOM Enemy Unknown is now available on Linux and SteamOS

Just to add.

This applies to its DLCs as well.

Xenonaunts no discount so far
