Awesome another one of 2k generic fps!!!
So what that will be what £40 for 8 hours of playtime, with absolutly no challenge from start to finish?
Well except getting the bugger to work!
Bioshock was an awful fps, the only thing redeming about it was the story which although good didn't warrant anothere playthrough. I remember being promised a "spirital successor" to System shock
.
But how can they do this to X-com, the game is a tactical squad, come mangement game. I suppose at a pinch you could get the first but not the latter, which was the bit I had most fun with. I loved catching and researching "alien do-dats".
Though being British, the word X-com (it was called UFO:enemy unkown) had no place in my childhood, so I can always close my eyes and pretend their two seperate franchises.
On a more depressing note if this do well any dreams of a "true to form" X-com/UFO are well and truely dead.
I think I'll give it a miss.
So how long before we Civilization 6:
"Guide your nation from the Stone age to the Space age, as Fred in this exciting First Person Shooter. Learn to conduct shotgun diplomacy with Ghandi, Wage war against the German army with an atonsihing arsnal of 5 weapons, develop new technology as you rescue Newton from Alexander or loot the wonders of the world for their wealth. All the while developing your nation to take on the greatest challenge.............." *
*Probably another big muscle "super bloke" who can be easily killied with a wrench, on top difficulty.....
