KoMik Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I give my vote for S3 (even the campaing is too hardstyle for me). Learning to mod helps a lot to like the game and after S^Smoddingskills I might do games like those others in that list and I also try to make mods like honorary mentions to old turnbased games (Paybacktime, JA, Fallout...). ...it's my turn now...

(interceptor and enforcer Voted UFO:EU but i love apoc too.. Apoc had a thing that really got me hooked... (realtime combat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizmiaz Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Sorry guys, but I voted other.I was totally overwhelmed by JA2 when I finally got into it and learned the mechanics. More or less blew 2 weeks vacation on it But I haven't played the X-Coms so I might change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hehe, guess we should have included JA2 there as well. But we decided to include the games we cover, and just put in a "Other" category for the rest. Anyway, JA2 surely is a good game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Grenade Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I wouldve expected to see more votes in Other seeing how theres millions of games but on the otherhand... this is an X-COM (and other games) forum!

Slaughter Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 You can start polls elsewhere, but not one here. It would go straight to the front page. You are welcome to suggest a poll however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 age groups are always a good one. gender, well, there are a few females around here, but not enough to warrant a poll. computer stats perhaps? OS? well anyway, i choose APOC. the first xcom game i ever played, and still my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Grenade Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 High five Ki-tat!! @ Slaughtie, hmm i was thinking a poll for favourite gaming company.. eg. Microprose, Bullfrog or to make things interesting, a company that isn't related to the games mentioned on the forums.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions! We'll see about adding a new poll this weekend I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRYKER Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Terror from the deep rules, as far as I'm concerned. Apoc comes a close 2nd. S3 is brilliant, no question. But a non-linear game will beat a linear game any day of the week. Plus with the XCOM games, you get to build bases. You get to build facilities within the bases. You get to build and equip ships. You get to do research. You get to use psionic powers and weapons, and fight exotic alien species. Truly, the XCOM games were a product of pure genius. Sometimes I wonder why they don't make games like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sometimes I wonder why they don't make games like that anymore.Many reasons I guess, but I think one of the main problems is profit. Durned publishers only care about profit, and the developers waste their time playing with 3d engines that add more or less nothing to the games. Silent Storm is one of the few exceptions in regards to 3d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 There is some players who don't have 5hours (one after another) time to spend to non-linearity in day. And non-linearity sure needs lots of time to handle (and those are so addictive). I still play games which started all this turn based style: chess and backcammon are great games with friends and those doesn't take 5hours to play (and are truly 3D ). I think 'all' turn based games are non-linearity in someway (depends how players play those) and it's good to have different ones . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
