It was well received considering it was a strategy/tactics game with no console following. I'm so hype for snakemen either way. | ||

Plus there's mention of modding tools in the announcement which I assume are harder to get working on console than PC. I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see it ship on console minus modding tools. Also: http://i.imgur.com/6IjYKvr.gif User was warned for this post | ||

And I am fine if they only refine/expand their combat system. If it is pc exclusive others can mod in realism x3 . | ||

It kinda looks like a re-skin tho, but i am a sucker for XCOM games. Anyways. That was a good image. Now I'm waiting for someone to photoshop an image over the Situation Room, but where panic level is replaced with XCom 2 hype levels | ||

To be fair, I think I recall reading interviews from Jake Solomon saying they wanted to include mod tools all along. | ||

Would improve the game a lot in my opinion. Unlikely. The two move system, while far less granular, is a hell of a lot more accessible to new players than the TU system. I would be shocked if they reverted. | ||

That sort of points out that we got the temple ship to come to earth but we failed to take it out. | ||
