Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Seduce them with human females, then knock them out; everybody knows that any self-respecting alien race is after our women. And also after our jobs.

    That would be pretty good satire actually if it turned out that the aliens were attacking us because they wanted our women and our jobs.

    Will probably reserve judgement until the game is nearer to release but I don't see me enjoying it but then again didn't like fallout 3 because it wasn't like the original but found myself enjoying it after renting it out and bought the game.

    If it turns out to be a turd at least I still have the original three games and my happy memories of them.

    I haven't followed this game, but can someone enlighten me how the cover system works since it's considered so terrible? Compared to JA2 for example, where you constantly sit in cover and pop heads - in what manner is this worse?

    So you are too lazy to do the research yourself, too lazy to read the research others have done for you...

    You know what, this "XCOM" is probably GOTY material for you.

    Will probably try a demo since the glam cam or whatever they called it is now optional.

    are you a new breed of viral marketing drone that tries to bolster firaxis' xcom sales by making people associate illiterate retards with xenonauts?

    Apparently, managing a chain of bases is too much nowadays. The "shipment arrival cam" turned out to be less exciting than the "headshot cam".

    Why do they talk so much about dioramas and iconic images?

    Rebates on materials if you build your workshops next to each other? The fuck....

    Oh, so instead of a bunch of specialized bases you get one base and you are forced to choose an approach. Meh.

    I just skimmed over an article of a German gaming magazine and it implies this game will be a lot like Enemy Unknown: permanent death for soldiers and the tutorial is 2 1/2 hours long (shame on them for having a tutorial instead of just a manual). It compared the game to the original and Incubation.

    This, to me, is a good sign.

    Edit: Then again, looking over the last couple of pages in this thread... meh. It'll probably be shit. :skyway:
