XCOM: Enemy Unknown

[InfiniteStates]

Apparently the patch came out today, so I'm gonna give the PvP another crack over the weekend and see if finding ranked games is any smoother.

Until then, enjoy this guys second mission on an impossible ironman playthrough

Haha I just watched that entire series that I embedded episode 2 of above...

I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're interested in XCOM or not. The narrator hits his stride and develops characters for what is essentially a humourous, dynamic war story. The last episode was brilliant, and I'm pretty sure you need no knowledge of XCOM to enjoy it.

Now I've just got to work out how to kill the rest of the afternoon before I can go home and carry on with my game...

I don't know where you assume I work, but that sort of thing is most definitely frowned upon during office hours...

[DJ-Daz]

some of the places I've worked at in the past positively encouraged it.

Favour the underdog...?

Deffo getting to like it more.
It's on steam pc, but not bought it yet.
If i was on the ps3, i'd of prolly bought it by now, didn't like it at first but watched quite a few vids now.

Don't get it on PC

Judging from videos, it seems a lot more fiddly on PC. The controls work great on console.

Although I appreciate the impulse-buy power of that Steam beast. Probably a good job I don't have access to it...


EDIT: As a guy in this thread points out...

First of all, unless you edited out all the quirks, the console version is clearly much more solid than the PC version. There were no UI malfunctions, and the netcode lagged, but did not freak out or disconnect.

PC tourney match between veterans...

Xcom now has a memorial wall on facebook to remember the fallen soldiers:
