Really hope this game will be both critically acclaimed by the media and fans, and also commercially successful.

I just went to the aussie's mini E3, EB Games Expo, it looks like the kiddies seem to hate this game with their guts. Not just one, pretty much everyone hates it. Except me, because i have seen what does the game can offer. The damn demo just doesnt do the game justice.

The reason is, i just dont want to see Jake Solomon and his team to be disappointed when 2K shut down the whole XCOM frachise in favour of the shooter, because the turn based version flopped. Jake seemed to love XCOM so much to the point he has put so much passion and hard work that is rarely seen in the game industry, in order to reimagine XCOM with today's technology.

the game is like X-Com UFO Defense a.k,a. X-COM: Enemy Unknown from Microprose way back in the early 1990s.

I don't get all this about the game being too complicated. Are all games supposed to be at the complexity level of angry birds these days?

I'm going to buy a new computer to play the new xcom. My C2D T6670 @2.2 Gz laptop was laggy as hell on the demo.

Any recommendations for a cheap desktop to play the new xcom?

My screamyx connection is so f***ed up! Been preloading for more than 2 days and it is still stuck at around 50%.

tnanks! the 2.5k rig looks tempting though.

need spoilers meh wtf

I haven't logged on the whole day, already got a war here

Hahahaha and here I thought I was weak willed when I keep reloading when squad members died  .

This game is awesome.cant stop playing these2 days.

I hate the hulkhogan alien.very annoying they can throw bomb at ur squad.whole squad died coz if the bomb lol

You sure? Or that could be a special case. Once a country leave the council you wont get any new missions from that country EVER.

On a side note. Have anyone develop and used a SHIV? I have neglected those in my first playthrough.
