It becomes slightly cheaper than the the normal game. I usually don't pre-order - as it is evil - but I'm confident with the recent NDA ending that the game is going to be at least as good as XCOM:EU was when it released. | ||

Can you share a link ? when I search greenmangaming it only shows the old ones (XCOM EU and XCOM EW) Or does GMG not mean green man gaming ? | ||

And don’t be to hard on the developers, its hard to play, demo features and carry on a conversation at the same time. http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-ex-xcom-2-with-garth-deangelis-and-mark/2300-10938/ | ||

don't see why I should get it on steam now, I'll just buy the retail copy if it only means I get the game a couple of days after release. | ||

Also aware that almost none of the team that is fine tuning the game right now is working on the DLCs. As those are basically "Art and design teams are done and just sit around" DLCs. Just something I don't want to show my support for, because preference. But it is a nice way to keep all your developers busy, so its quite good that its around. And the trend is going towards DLC being used like this and not content being cutout of the main game. This is why I don't buy DLC. The art and design teams finish their job earlier so most DLCs end up as cosmetic changes with a little gameplay thrown in. Even if I'm interested in the little gameplay thrown in, I'm not paying a price that's essentially 80% cosmetic/20% gameplay. I would rather wait for an expansion and see if the DLCs get bundled in. | ||

In my experience, when shit starts to hit the fan, turns can take a good 10-30 minutes just thinking of possible moves. It's especially prevalent on stuff like alien base assaults and terror missions. Generally, the increased complexity of lw is cool, but there are times when it just bogs things down. | ||

I am more a save-load scum. Otherwise a mission could take more than an hour. This way I can play pretty fast and if SHTF I restart the mission(usually). And after few hundreds hours you know how the aliens will react, how the map layout looks, so where you can go etc. It's pretty fast then(I have over 300 hours in XCOM I think). The only thing I truly hate about XCOM is the weird random thing. You have 5 shots with 80 % chance of hit. And you miss all of them. And then the alien hits his first shot. Yeah, sure, no, alt-f4 Why show the chance? The worst thing is I know some things from school about probability. And the fun is that the next round it repeats... OMG WHY?! (I mean that I miss another shots with 80 % not that I load and miss again)And then some funny person comes to SC2 design thread and (s)he wants a BW high ground advantage. Yeah, I know how this would work for me - miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss - gg | ||

That was the biggest weakness in the last same, lack of mission variety. And maybe classes that were a little myopic. It does look like there's a bit more variation than the "Go kill everything" missions from EW. Mission types I've seen so far: + Show Spoiler + Destroy/hack objective in X time Rescue VIP and evac in X time New terror mission, must save 6 civs to win Defend point from alien attack Grab thing from alien facility and evac Assassinate enemy VIP Many missions end with a "And then kill anything still living" phase, but you at least spend most of the mission with a goal other than just murdering aliens. I ordered the base game from GMG with the discount. The DLC doesn't sound interesting enough for me to buy it sight unseen. I may pick up some of it later, but I'm okay with waiting and maybe paying a few extra bucks. | ||

Of course the sucker then kills my assault with his own crit. Insta loaded the last saved game At times like that i literally turn the game off in disappointment lol | ||

Just 3 missions ? Good thing they actually made a random map generator this time, because that's what killed XCOM to me in the long run, even with mods i just couldn't handle playing on the same maps over and over again. This time the DLC may be interesting, but i don't mind waiting for it (i did for the XCOM1 and actually saved money thanks to that). | ||

Not worth 19$ per se, but if you want to pre-order like me, it's not really a bad deal. | ||
