Yeah, those bonuses didn't turn out to be attractive at all. Too bad, there would have been a great chance for some crossover promotion.

I do! I do! ;-) Supposedly today there is going to be more live gameplay from Pax Prime, again through the 2K channel at twitch.tv. Not sure whether the link will work - it's still early night over there. Can't wait to see more. I definitely want the Platinum Trophy (Yes, I'll play the PC version, too, if my PC is up to it).

What DLC / expansion plans are there, for what platform (important in order to decide what platform(s) to get the game for)? Does the German version (avalable at Amazon.de) include the English language (it's not as sure as you might think - Bethesda's Brink and Hunted for example did not contain the English version - the game suddenly defaulted to French )?. Will the German version be updated/patched along with the US version (2K has a bad track record there -> worst example NBA 2K10)?

Fantastic showing. This game is absolutely going to rock. It's just unfortunate that the developers have to jump through so many hoops to try to make the general gaming populace aware of it. The user in front of the keyboard wasn't very skilled, I thought - he overextended his forces without any thought about tactics (you don't want to have Snipers in the first line, and there ARE classes that can soak up some damage and survive. But then I am looking forward to Ironman - and that makes you more cautious. If you like Achievements (or trophies) and are a completist, you'll have to beat the game on either Classic Ironman or Impossible Ironman. That's going to be a challenge .

I could care less about multiplayer and have rather have more single player mission types (and multi-part missions as in TFTD).

Very nice find - finally something new. It feels like we have seen all the can spoil right now. Now we want to play!

I rather want the full game. Can't wait...

He was very good at hiding, I guess. I swept the area like a crime scene ;-), but nothing came up. Oh well. Thanks for the reply.

Sid Meier at work. Jake Solomon just revealed that previously the Sectoids just appeared too much like kids (and we'd be shooting at them - a No-No in the games industry). That's how they became more feral.

In the end base defense is not that important. Just replaying Afterlight I am quickly noticing that some of the minutiae really detract from the gameplay. From what I have seen Firaxis makes sure that the "flow" of the game moves at a somewhat faster pace and concentrates on the more fun decisions that make a good game. It'll all fall into place! Boy, I can't wait.

Hi! I just (re-)bought the UFO series on the GamersGate offer (inspired by the way too long wait for Firaxis' XCOM of course ;-)). Now assaulting a Beastman installation the objective was eliminate all alien threats. But even when I did that (I sent guys all around an empty map for about 30 minutes), including some living sandstorms, I didn't get a "Mission Complete" but had to abort the mission. Did I miss anything?
