Slaughter Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's been almost 15 years since X-COM: UFO Defense was first released but classics die hard! The X-COM Complete Pack is now the best seller on Steam beating meager resistance such as Call of Duty 4 and The Orange Box... Will the success of this release ensure we get a new X-COM game soon? What about releasing some other old Microprose classics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Just a note, it's currently not on the list at all. Neither are any other pages about X-COM (run a search). This is most likely due to some incorrect information that was posted on them, such as system requirements and multiplayer capability. Are we sure the Top Sellers is for all times and not daily?EDIT: Ohoho, now I see. It seems it's a regional thing. If you take a look at the URL you posted, there's a NO there (for Norway), and in my case there's a HR (for Croatia).EDIT 2: I just checked for UK and US and it's on top there, too. I guess I can't see it because it's not sold here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illegal youth Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 gimli, i can see it just fine. the regional codes only appear when you click the link for the complete pack. if you just go to the main page: https://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php scroll down and click the "top sellers" tab. i see the x-com complete pack at the top.

Gimli Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Nope, doesn't show up. I will assume they hide the regional setting form the URL in that case for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illegal youth Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 strange. well, we know it's a top seller in at least the US and norway, but not croatia, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You can't buy it here, same as Australia.EDIT: Slaughter, I edited "usurpers" to "usurps". my Englishman friend says it's the correct way to spell. EDIT 2: Someone on the Steam forums says it's daily top sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illegal youth Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You can't buy it here, same as Australia. hmmm. i wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 There has been no clear answer from anyone on that. It's not just 2K Games, same for other publishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 That's funny, I see it on Top Seller page, and I'm from Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yes, it's changing all the time. Very annoying... I wish Steam had a page which listed where it could or couldn't be bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 ...EDIT 2: Someone on the Steam forums says it's daily top sellers.Hehe, yeah, it's daily. Did you expect X-COM to sell more copies in a couple of days than Half-Life 2 did since it's release? Silly dwarf.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 You know... that last sentence would have been far better, if it went: "Silly dwarf, Trix are for kids." Just sayin'. I wonder how long it's going to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 What do you know...id Super Pack and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky are first and second respectively now...I'm already in mourning. =[ lol j/k, but I'm still glad X-com has gotten so much publicity lately.

Space Voyager Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hehe, yeah, it's daily. Did you expect X-COM to sell more copies in a couple of days than Half-Life 2 did since it's release? Silly dwarf.... No lembas for Gimli! I see it as third right now. Phenomenal success. GO X-COM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey, did you guys notice the little file buried in the Steam Xcom directory that reads, "Downloaded from strategycore.co.uk"? Cause I did. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hehe, yup we know about it. Here, I'll point you one topic down in the news: Linky. Basically some of the luckier people here got to test out the versions and that file was leftover from that process. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 I knew including that file in EVERY download we have would prove useful some day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
