To avoid a misunderstanding (as this could be read as "it's too easy"): TB said he didn't do a first impression only, but actually beat the game - as his "first impression" was a 72h playthrough. The first game in 6 years that he finished when he was just supposed to do a first impression video... :D [edit] I'm starting to feel the hype as well - Metacritic got a review aggregration of 91 points over 37 reviews so far o.0. The few sub-85 reviews state that it might not please everybody as tactical games are a genre that you have to like ..or that it's abit unforgiving in playstyle. I guess the purists can live with those negative points :D :D :D ...lets just hope that the review sites didn't get paid a massive amount of cash to hype the game... | ||

So you have to give the aliens bonuses (hp and aim) and on the highest difficulty that is not enough for the challenge your only course is handicapping players. Sorry but your games don't come with Deep Blue software. Actually it's fairly easy to create a system where an AI will beat humans. Machine Learning is a relatively mature technology. But it starts easy and then crushes you until you have no fun at all. The reviews are excellent. But I wonder if it's going to do the game a disservice in the end. The Witcher 3 was arguably the best game last year yet every other critics threw away their reason to play hipster and announce Undertale as the second of the christ despite the former being much more influential. I fear XCOM2 may suffer the same fate, especially since it's a genre that's fairly hard to grasp. | ||

I really hope I don't get burned by this as much as FO4, which was mediocre. I don't get all of the hesitation. There's so much video of the game out there now that there's literally no mystery as to what the game is and how well it plays. Anyone who has preordered or is thinking about preordering should know exactly what they're buying. | ||

Most missions start with a "concealment" phase that basically lets you ambush the first pod. No air combat. More mission types added. Procedural map generation. | ||

I can live with all of that, though hopefully they'll fucking fix it at some point since all that shit was in Enemy Unknown/Within. | ||
