"How XCOM Came Back From The Dead"?
When did it die?
Great video! love this game!
The oe problem I had with this game was, of all things, some of the weapons and armour. Some of it just looked absurd, oversized, etc. XCOM2 has solved this by making the weapons look more gritty and realistic.
Xcom 2 is great, but i still miss some freedom the old one had, like time unites (TU), the ability to pack a soldier with wahtever gear i want, at the cost of max TU, and the ability to shoot at anything without needing a target, shooting right through a building if i think there is an alien, and hearing that awsome alien kill scream from him. or shooting cars without needing a grenade. more missions that is not "do it in 8 turns" some is cool, but its like 80% have some kind of hurry up!
Also, introducing day/night cycle would be awsome, so it slowly gets more and more dark (Pitch black) would be cool.
Only seeing fires, plasma rails, a few car lights, and alien eyes now and then! THAT would be scary!
Why only one skyranger? I want to do multiple missions at once. You'd need to set up multiple teams. You then play the missions one after the other.
"Aww yeah this kid has the stuff" i died xddddd
This guy sounds like Dan ghessling
4:59 wtf hax
hype for Xcom 3!
it'll die again if they dont stop the stupid aliens get 3 moves crap. ive have avent officers Move, Mark me AND Fire. like wtf
Is it too hard to figure? creepy song+ scary looking alien+ dark environment+real live=x com
So easy to answer this question. It came back from the dead because… Finally, a good Dev put the work into reviving it that was necessary. This needs to happen with Jagged Alliance 2 and it will be back from the dead too! Wish Star Control would return from the dead too!
They just used a phsionic bomb, duh
Enemy Unknown (not the first one the newer one) was my first xcom game, 150 hours in 2 weeks. Love that game, prefer it still to xcom 2
Hey, how do you get that xcom classic Guile hairstyle???
Is the Character Central based on Solomon's?
