Azrael Strife

There are some screenshots, oddly enough the geoscape shows Earth, I was expecting something Mercury-er. Anyhow, they don't really look that good, this game looks exactly the same as the first one, which is now about 7 years old already.

61 Hi all!

I've watched two really good movies lately. First, an oldie but I hadn't seen it before, The Groundhog Day, hillarious comedy, Bill Murray at his best. Today I watched Midnight In Paris, Woody Allen's, really good semi-surreal movie about how every generation thinks the previous generation was so much better, really nice.

*poofs* I've backed this game, the trailer looks superb, it's a metroidvania but you get to play the evil alien lifeform capable of infecting humans, awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP66bmLqRTg

I think I'll most certainly wait until this game is like 5 bucks or something like that, seeing Total Biscuit's review convinced me this is just not worth it. They should have kept the FPS angle and finished that game instead of flushing a half assed mess.

Ugh, I think I'll just skip to the sequel, if there is going to be any, this game was enough of a chore to get through to buy more.

IGN Review: Don't call this XCOM

Yeah, SV is right, f*ck this game. That's what you were saying, right? At least that's what you most likely meant. Nevermind

Interesting idea, best of luck! Maybe someone from over here can do a preview later on to help promote the game? notices it's been a really long time since he last read FA, Pete or Slaughter

Heh, I think someone voicing his opinion, and another saying "don't play if you don't like it" is kinda rude. Anyhow, why did you think it was for you? Maybe you thought you were being rude yourself? We can get back on topic, I'm sure I'll find more things I don't like soon. Or remember, seeing as I followed Hobbes advice before he even told me, and uninstalled that thing already. I'm curious, Zombie, did you play it? What did you think, if you did? Are you going to add XCOM to your collection?

Or, just another thought, if you don't agree just go read something else? Geez, you should really learn to respect other people's opinions, some replies have been kinda rude, and I'm doing my best not to sink to that level and reply in the same manner

1-4 months? I've never seen any movie released here with more than a couple of weeks later than in the US, and that's the least hollywoody ones, movies like The Avengers get released almost at the same time, but obviously you know better of '3rd world' countries than the people that live in them And of course on the internet that's the situation, if you try to give it a few seconds' thought you'll probably understand the reason yourself, I'll try to leave you do it But that's not an universal situation, I'd believe everyone in America grows up knowing America is a continent, just saying. Anyhow, back on topic...

Maybe some day we could get pictures of all your collection put together? I think it'd be a sight to behold to see it all at once I'm thinking of starting a collection myself, but not of a specific game, rather than games that are special to me, or that I consider iconic or important enough; thinking of games like the Ultima series (awesome boxes, too, come with cloth maps, incredible), MOO, X-Com (of course), etc.

Hey Zombie, where do you keep all of your collection? do you have it on display somewhere in your house or just stacked?

How exactly are you doing these modifications? Are you modifying the disassembled exe? Amazing job!

Yes, that's Homeworld, he's making a contrast between Sins and Homeworld. Looks very nice, best of luck to you.

Funny, I live in America too, just we have individual country names here We tend to use "America" for the continent, you see We often get simultaneous movie releases with the USA, depending on the movie's popularity. I just found your post very odd, I'd have made more sense to say "Grab it from a torrent site if it was not released in where you live yet", I bet there's small towns in the USA too where they may not get the latest releases on day 1. But whatever

It's not that they did a good job at translating it, it's that the game is dumbed down designed to work on all devices, they just did a small UI refresh, but the mechanics are identical, that's for a reason. Business wise, they were very smart. As for game designing, this game blows.

What do you mean about in "3rd world" countries do not go to theaters?

Sweet!

I've killed aliens using psionics, which one would argue that do not explode, and yet their weapons burst in flames when they are killed. Same when using regular SMGs. I've honestly never played a game with limitations as stupid and artificial as this one. Sure all games have limitations, but these are usually justified by some sort of realism. Your soldiers cannot fly without special armor, why? because in reality humans cannot. Now, why can't I send 2 interceptors at once? Why can't I send another one before the previous one returned? Why do I have a single skyranger? Why can't I attack multiple terror sites or abduction sites? I have plenty of men, let me send them! These are all incredibly ridiculous limitations, to force an artificial difficulty barrier, the difficulty barrier should be composed by the Aliens themselves and their tactics, not things you cannot do just because. Wrong, all the limitations I've pointed out are incredibly stupid for any game. I liked the original game, but I am not a hardcore fan like everyone else here. My favourite game of the saga was Apocalypse, that says a lot. The limitations are idiotic for an strategy game, not for an X-Com game. I am well in favour of change, and innovation, proof is that I am very much expecting the new XCOM (Bureau) to arrive; but this... I agree that the new combat system is far superior to the original in several respects, I applaud the new turn based system.

Not sure if it's the same as the other day, but today there is an insane amount of insane bargains at GOG.

Stop doing this to me, GOG and Steam!

Yeah, the faster pace of the combat is actually a huge improvement. Endless battles that dragged on forever were one of the things that kept me from fully enjoying UFO: EU, or TFTD, and attracted me a lot more towards Apocalypse.

Congrats on the new addition Zombie
