    luckily in the XCOM main game the enemies are made of evil glowing space voxels so no night vision for our office clothes wearing heroes are needed

    Trailer makes the game look like a mix between Mass Effect and Halo. But I will reserve my judgement until the game is released and I actually try it. I don't have much hope though.

    Fucking hell, how could they ruin the Chrysalids? Seriously? Character design is fucking shit in this game but how the fuck have they gone from this to this? I loathed what they done with the Mutons but this...

    It amazes me how, as part of the development team and a long-time fan of the orshitfhefuck, you can be so amazingly inept at providing a voice-over for a clip of gameplay.

    Pathetic Wh40k ripoff detected.

    Also, fuck it all. Fuck fuck fuck. Shit.

    Also, what the fuck, spoiling shitheads. Fuck what a bunch of shitheads. Discovering all these races was a great part of pleasure of playing through X-Com for the first time. Fucking cocksuckers.

    Maps also look rather small. All hail to the limits of a console engine.

    This could have been a much better game if it stayed PC exclsuive, using the Civ5 engine. Console gamers don't give a fuck about that sort of games anyway.

    Why wouldn't they?

    This of course doesn't mean that game will not suck.

    Seeing aliens taken out with one fucking shot looks horrible. Truly and utterly fucking retarded.
    And a chryssalid taken out by a rookies first shot none the less....

    fucking shit... hopefully there is some kind of normal difficulty in that fucking shit.

    At least the rest of the soldiers were all decked out in late game equipment.
    And at least the chryssalid can quickly make more of itself which could play out good.
    Though all of it looked depressing seen from this perspective.


    However, guys... i would urge you to consider to WHOM these guys are selling a turn based tactical combat... mkay?
    To fucking ign retards.

    They have to go for fucking wuss easy stuff and emotional engagement on the level of three year old and they HAVE to show something AwEsOME in order to avoid all that screaming about all of being turn based.
    ...lets take that in consideration a bit.

    One would think that a remake would have massively higher casualty rates due to improved AI. But no. Instead of that we get that shit.

    I hope this is really moddable so there'll be a Mass Effect TC for it :smug:
    with additional japanese 3rd party support to see crew members go at it in the living quarters of course
    and then there's the shenanigans in the cryo storage area, oh boy this can still be good you guys

    Youre quite stupid arent you Burton?

    I am saying something very simple and obvious.
    No wonder its flying over that stupid skull of yours.

    Not that im claiming it will be actually good but it would be nice if it turned out that way, if only for that shit sandwich eating stunt.
