I am really picky with games, I think most of the new games shouldn't be bought because imo most of them get boring fast or show simply no innovation.

XCOM definately has me excited, ok not innovative but it looks like alot of stuff used in the original (seriously one of the best games of all time) made it into the game. Also round based strategy games pretty much vanished from the market. Nowadays we get a CoD, MW or WoW clone every year, so I hope that many people will support the developers and buy the thing instead of torrenting it.

Will definately buy it on releasedate, if it is as much fun as I think it will be I will probably blow hundreds of hours in it.

Difficulty for me classic+ironman

I bought it on GMG, but I didn't get a separate key for the elite DLC. Does it just come with what you DL with no separate DL/key required?

Anyone have problem loading the game on Steam. It stuck at 1% (I guess it's patch) and not continue downloading (I preload it).

I've read that restarting steam fixes this issue. I haven't tried it myself because I'm waiting for Amazon to ship my copy (darn you amazon for not shipping a day early!)

Isn't the guile hair apart of the DLC? Because I have it and it's awesome 8). Also really love how you can customize the soldiers, provides that extra level of attachment to them, huge part of the game imo.

Played through the 1st few missions. Pretty fun so far. I am naming all of my soldiers after BW pros. Jaedong was promoted to a sniper and flash was promoted to a support class. (P)

Kang Min was the first of my soldiers to die

Download the demo on Steam and try it. If it runs fine there it'll probably run fine with the whole game.

2 Hours in, and im a quite pleased with it, playing iron man, normal difficulty, and still getting pwnd. Just lost everything to a terror attack, the game still seems hard enough, even though i made some stupid decisions that got me killed. But good to know its not going to be a breeze just yet. Good times so far.
