another 'fall out' (3)
bleh!

Interceptor was Space-Flight-Simulation. After that series I'm not sure anymore.
As long as they don't take out the Base building and research elements, I think I'm ok with X-Com going FPS.
To me, that is still one interesting point of X-Com series.

just watched the trailer, no this isn't X-Com.

too lazy to read the rest of the post as i got to go out now

where to get the official demo?
*nvm...*facepalm* for meself lol

btw, cheesenium, do you know if the GMG's xcom preorder comes with all 3 of Steam's preorder bonuses? or just the first preorder bonus?

alright...thanks guys! still yet to try the demo =/

steam's price is soooo steep...so steep that it doesn't make those pre-purchase bonuses a bonus, u're literally paying for it >.<

eh??? $49.99???
I SWORE I SAW $69.99!!!

wait....i was on an Australian proxy when i checked steam...Aussie got different price?

what contains in the physical SE ?
GMG and Steam....
GMG = Cheaper but no hats and no Civ 5
Steam = $10 more than GMG but with hats and POSSIBLY Civ 5...hmm....

my dilemma:-
X-Com Physical SE (dunno price yet)
Steam's X-Com 49.99 USD = 153.182 MYR (but got Hats and maybe Civ 5)
GMG's X-Com 39.99 USD = 122.540 MYR (minus Hats and Civ 5)

hmm.......

since now there's no coupon, can only buy them at full price...so that's the dilemma...haha...

what you mean by that?
i tot the $39.99 is already -20% d?

or u're trying to say that the $39.99 is only until 30th sept...october 1-8th is $49.99?

i am USD$32 poorer now....
thanks memphiz

it's a 2 thing actually...
u help us to save money by losing money early...

kenot lah...good thing i never save my credit card info for easier purchase...have to manually type...during that period, my brain still got time to rationalize with my itchy fingers. $32 vs $49.99 is simply too big of a difference. it's as though you're paying $18 for the 3 TF2 items and Civ 5.

too many games...too little time...not worth the money for me =/

use dat 3-4 days to play other games, perhaps one of your many indie games which you bought but haven't even start it once before

....GMG have made me fall in love with them....but at the same time....they seem to take away my monies....

have u tried the demo?

normally u start off the game by looking at the structure of your base.

then u build ur base, hire soldiers, train soldiers, do researches, buy/manufacture weapons/equipments.
this is where u have to manage your resources and time because they all takes time to be completed or delivered.

while doing all that, you can speed up the game until an event occurred. be it ur research complete, soldier/equipment arrives, alien activity detected, or even some world news event.

if there's alien activity, you select your troops to be deployed for this mission. and they will travel there. upon reaching, the whole game shifts towards the tactical/strategy screen whereby now u will command your troops in a turn based environment. (a little bit like Fallout Tactics if you played that before. just that this one doesn't have real time mode)

they changed the turn base system a bit, it's no longer using action points (AP). for this u need to play the demo to understand. quite hard n lengthy to explain

the story line?

one day, alien invade earth. humanity goes %#!@.
x-com project is in charge to protect humanity.
you are x-com commander.
you save the earth.
declared hero.

x-com 2...read from the top pls.

well...all our experience with the old x-com is that as far as i can remember.

the story, comes from events and researching.
probably it's like progress of your research and what did your scientists found.
