arghh...downloading this game is painfully slow.
demit steam!!!

Playing this on Normal last night. I think turning on the tutorial really screws you over.
Best turning it off if you're thinking of playing it on Classic+Iron Man.

I've already triggered the Alien Base mission, casualty so far are 5 with 3 from the tutorial.

Would love to restart the game on Classic/Impossible, but with the bug I've encountered so far...nahh...

So question; Does rookie turns into any class at random??? My roster only contain 2 Assault class right now, what the hell...

Turning on the Tutorial also locks you out from establishing base in certain country.

My god plasma sniper rifle is seriously OP.

The game does become abit easy because of it.
Managed to kill a Sectopod in 2 shots at higher terrain.

Try playing impossible. The intro mission have you face like 8 sectoid who can 1 shot you.

I heard it's only problematic with m/kb control.

Using gamepad is better.

It's not.

I think like Civilization series, this game will get better with expansions+patches.

it's not fun when you're losing the only sniper you got coz that stupid random class bullsh!t.

Played my first multiplayer game and won!!!

The guy gang-up up 3 of his soldier up close to my Cyberdisc, it then explodes and damage all 3.
Then my Muton toss a grenade for afar.

Damn...this kind of multiplayer game is totally right my alley!!

I think Cyberdisc is abit imba in this game even in multiplayer. They need to nerf it a little.

Another funny multiplayer session:
-choose Cyberdisc, Mutton, Thin Man, and Sectoid.
-opponent choose Ethereal and Sectoid.
-i kill his Sectoids, he wipe Mutton+Thin Man+ Sectoid in one shot.
-Cyberdisc vs Ethereal...lol...
This is one of those bugs. When the enemy is in fog, they tend to teleport around instead of moving as a way to save time.

But the game most of the time have trouble recognizing which area in in fog and which isn't.

it was more like Firaxis playing it safe to me.

spending alot more resources on scenario variation is useless if they didn't manage to nail the core gameplay first.
now that we can all agree that they do (mostly), i'm expecting alot more when the big expansion hits. hopefully.

It's a steamworks game, you still need to activate it in steam to play.

Nope. You'll find something new there though.

EDIT
Wait...which ship is this? You'll get a warning when you enter the final mission, no worries.

You can get it off GMG for a cheaper price btw.

This dlc is more like Civ5 style really. Better wait for something substantial like an actual expansion.

Yep...this usually happen when games on steam has a new big dlc.
