Holy crap that means Mass Effect 3 goes for at least six hours! Is that a spoiler?

Re: 2012 GOTY already in the bag
There are apparently two Xcom games due out, the one on the cover is true to the original, a turn based strategy game.

That video is a dirty fucking lie. If it doesn't have a choppy 30 second wait in between turns it's not a Firaxis game.

I like that you can see things up close and personal and we are not stuck in isometric view. The aliens don't look scary enough though imo. I would like them to put in a chupacabra.

Re: 2012 GOTY already in the bag. Confirmed! (Xcom btw)
This game is going to be terrible. The video was mostly about the cinematic camera angles and how the base looks and some Sims-like bullshit. And then when they did talk about gameplay it was about how time units have been "simplified".t0mby wrote:This looks fucken awesome.

Re: 2012 GOTY already in the bag. Confirmed!
Pre recorded vid from PAX '12.
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Skip to 4.18. It's basically the gameplay in the vid above but this time you see the whole lot and everything is described as it happens. Love how one of the aliens scarpers off and jumps through the shop window into cover. Also, if one of your squad members dies, that's it. He is dead for the rest of the game.
I really hope the game is as enjoyable as it looks cos so far I think it looks awesome. Big Xcom fan here.

I think this has been delayed, might just be for PAL but it was supposed to be out on the 27th Sept, now it's 12 Oct.

Yeah, after those videos above I've tried to avoid any more information on it. I just hope it's a time sinker like the original, that took me around 60hrs to complete, although I know it was possible to complete in less than 10 if you knew what you were doing.

Kinda has that Full Spectrum Warrior feel to the vids. Hopefully will turn out good.

Apparently the original one was awesome, but I watched the livestram from Idle Thumbs on it but was completely lost after 5 minutes. Apparently this one has full tutes in it, so I reckon it might be my cup of tea.

This looks cool but I just hate turn based games.

I love turn based.
Hopefully the sales of this are good too.

I like how the retarded ign reviewer tries to bash the 90s. Aliens in the 90s were way cooler than aliens of today.

Civ5 was free with Steam pre orders too.
Here's a shitload of good reviews. No WiiU version.
oystiq - 4.5/5
Edge - 9/10
GamesRadar - 4.5/5
The Escapist - 4 and a half/5
Eurogamer - 9/10
StrategyInformer - 9/10
Destructoid - 9/10
LazyGamer - 9/10
Official Playstation Magazine - 9/10
GamesTM - 9/10
Videogamer - 9/10
PC Gamer - 87/100
Polygon - 8.5/10

Looks like I'll be settling with the PS3 version since I'm PC-less for a few more months.

I want to buy this. But I want to buy dishonored. Worst time for it to come out.
review from someone who does not like turn based strategy games: pc vs console: it might be a bit overwhelming if you don't play this stuff, but think of how replayable this game is with all the randomness? You could be playing it for years.
