XCOM: Enemy Unknown

The FPS or the game people actually care about?

The FPS. Apparently the turn based game is on schedule and is pretty damn good.

I saw a video on the turn based and from what little I saw it did look like it comes the closest to reigniting the classic X-com with next gen graphics. A nifty enhancement is telling your guy to snipe an alien and if you get a 'glory shot' where you get a bullets point of view as it blows the head off the alien and other kill shots will give you a special view of the event which is more satisfactory than just watching the little grey guy crumple on the ground like the original.

But you gotta catch them all!

Glory shot? That sounds like they thought the term money shot came solely from porn flicks, so then inadvertently came up with a term that sounds like it could only come from a porno.

The idea of children bragging about their glory shots is hilarious.

Today's children do not have the patience or mental stamina for a turn based shooter. Now, hearing some fat mouth breather talk about his glory shot...that one time...on vacation in Tennessee..

Yeah I thought the same thing when I heard the producers use the term in the video interview where they were showing off the game, it was a fight scene at a gas station. I hope they change the name of 'Glory shot' but its not a game killer.

Thats good then, i hate playing games with 13 year olds.
Not because they call me homo all the time, but because they are better than me.

I just saw some of it on Youtube. Damn it is looking good. Also excited how some of the things have turned out.

- Your Agents can get*Super Powers*
- Predator style cloaking.
- The Flight suit.

Better than children bragging about visiting the Glory Hole :O (Which is what a giant drain on Whiskeytown Lake is called...my parents and I stopped there on a road trip years ago.)

Anyway, this game looks awesome. How can anyone think turn-based games are boring? Show them Frozen Synapse FFS!

The flood of people with short attention spans. I like turn based combat. Then again I'm not really ever in a hurry.

I can't remember the last time i played a turn based game come to think of it.
When i started playing pc games, RTS had officialy taken over...Civilization 5 maybe was the last one.

I think the last one I played was Civilization Revolution and a demo to Operation Darkness, before that it was just replaying old Heroes of Might and Magic.

But I've been dying for a new turn based game, it would be nice if this game got Bethesda (or ZeniMax Media) to let someone make a turn based Fallout.
