Space Voyager Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Finally they drew a line somewhere. Otherwise we'd see the whole game before it even comes out. Reporters are idiots, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Kotaku says of Firaxis' XCOM that it's the good stuff - so tell us something we didn't know already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycho Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Woo... in any case, I didn't finish watching the video either, was thinking it would be too much of a spoiler. I watched it since my system is woefully inadequate for the game and I don't have extra cash to upgrade any time soon. In my opinion, you would have been too spoiled: The guy running the game doesn't get too far, at least I hope an alien base isn't that small. Chrysallids and mutons are the only thing he fights, so no new aliens were revealed. Aside from an elerium reactor, everything else seen is just updated conceptions of locations in the OG base, although the layout isn't in a grid pattern.

Sorbicol Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The 3 moves ahead podcast (I would link but using my phone while at work. Tell no one!) has a discussion with week with Jake Solomon about the game. I've been listening to 3MA for years and, generally speaking, it's an excellent podcast for strategy gaming.

Space Voyager Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 What, we never got one?! I thought it came with the prizes! Well, if all else fails, we'll review the game from our own copies after the game is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well I was supposed to find out on Wednesday, then Friday but never heard a peep. At this rate we might get it by the 9th if we're lucky, but that's when the flood of US sites (and players) will all be writing their own reviews too. *sigh* You help to promote the series for over a decade and this is the thanks you get - yes, if anyone from 2K/Firaxis is reading it really is bugging a lot of us here that every man and his dog has had a preview copy and by now a review copy and we've not had even the faintest whiff of either by this point, despite asking through the proper channels What do I have to do? Fly to America, get down on my knees and beg to Jake? EDIT: I know we're a speck on the radar (probably a crumb from the pizza of the radar operator) in comparison to the larger sites out there, but at least we know how to play a strategy game. Have you seen some of the previews out there? The only response to some of them is this: Log in and "Like" this post if you agree, just so I know I'm not ranting, foaming at the mouth to myself.
