Thorondor Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The original's soundtrack and ambiance were quite a feat indeed. Consequently, if there's one thing where they may fall somewhat short without much shame for themselves I'd say that would be it. Still, the guys from GameInformer seemed to like the audio in their review of the game - to quote: "Michael McCann’s futuristic score is exceptional." Didn't so much like the voice acting though, dubbing it "competent, but too limited". :: Now, for the completionists or those who failed to watch the very nice best-of-three multiplayer live stream of the match between 2kGreg and FiraxisPete, here it is Tubed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxKknJeqoUg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorondor Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 (...) that mean that every copy (even boxed one) are on Steam ? That's right, silencer. It seems all copies of the game are Steamworks-bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Cool - wonder if I get that TF2 items too - oh and also I've got message that Cenega also adds free Civ5 to xcom pre-orders - but I don't know if regular and specials too. Well I have golden version + g&k so I will not worry about it - though I will sell it if I do get it. And I will get to spy on you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
