I just want someone to LP the demo build, some German guys already did an hour of the game like that, but since my German isn't very good it made it rather difficult to watch.

You mean the guy getting very confused about the grenade in the first part wasn't what made it difficult?
Though in fairness, he is mostly pointing out to his friend/coworker that the camera is tripping balls when he moves the grenade cursor between a couple of points.
There is no co-op (though I'm not sure how co-op on a turn based strategy game would even work) and Mods are something they 'want to add after release'.
It would have to be battle based. Each player would control half the soldiers, then they would be in control when it was their soldiers turn.

I watch part 3 of 3 parts, when they were doing the rescue mission with the sectoids and gmen. I accept that people are generally going to do bad at this game since everyone is new at it, but there's a happy balance between when people do poorly and when they're entertaining about it. So since I don't understand german, I was just watching two guys play the game very poorly.

Right, but that really doesn't mesh well with the strategic portion at all (which rules out online co-op because that is a hell of a lot of downtime for one player to be doing nothing) and locally its functionally identical to just hotseating.

Yeah, but if you could do that online it would be nice (chatting with friend, you have one squad he/she has another). Granted, it would be awesome to have a somewhat persistent world where you and someone else were competing (or co-op where you have control of some bases and they have control of others) X-Com groups. Though, that's obviously far beyond the scope of what this game is. Having co-op battles vs. aliens really isn't.
It says so much for this game that I'm willing to sit through these horrendous german LP's just to see the game itself. Damn, this game should be playable now.

I dunno. Call me crazy but there's something soothing about German LPs.
One of the first ones out for Endless Space was all German and I didn't understand word one of the language. But German is funny. You get so many emotional cues from the tone of the words used it becomes almost funny, perhaps even cute in a way.
Like, the more Ks and Vs that you hear, the more agitated they are. It ceases to be obtrusive commentary and almost turns into a musical score, modulating your tension and emotion without distracting from the gameplay. I prefer watching previews of games I like in a language other than English if there is no video without commentary at all. I already know how the mechanics work, I already know every nuance of the UI and tactics from all the written previews. I like to just get a feel for how the game plays.
2K did a thing when Civ 5 launched. They had trailers and sizzle videos and such, that's fine. But the thing that sold me on the game to the extent that I instantaneously pre-ordered through Steam was the 2 hour long live stream of just some dude playing the game. No tricks or anything. Just gameplay.
So when people complain that the previewers are bad at the game, or taking too long to make moves, or making dumb moves etc etc. I don't mind. It gives me a tangible feel for the texture of the experience. It's as informative, in many ways, as a dozen lengthy interviews or op-ed pieces.

Ach ja, mein Herz schlägt für UFO!
Äh, ich meine X-COM für die Amis
Any idea, if the pre order reaches to a copy of Civ 5, if you are able to sell it instead of gift it? I already have a copy and if I can make a few bucks i'd like to try. But assuming with the pre order it might just stay linked to my steam account right? Any only be able to gift it through steam as well?
I don't think you're allowed to under the ToS. Of course there's no way to detect you got a paypal payment for selling it off since that's not part of Steam's infrastructure, but still.

Yeah I feel like I would expect to load up a game and see someone in Tron armor if that was the logo..., damn now I want Tron armor DLC.

The hymen is implied in the logo.
Is what's best in life.
I've stopped watching gameplay and other footage. I'm full to the brim and already know too much.
I've tried to stop.

I suppose you could take the money via paypal, and then gift it to them ?
That's a solution to I guess. I'm just curious to what they might do so thanks for the response.
Scarab, are you kidding me?
