Aw fuck, this is coming out on almost the same day as Xenonauts.
I don't think I'll have time to play either of them.
Well TBH, the Beta Starts for Xenonauts (Or is planned to) on Oct 9th to coincide with the release of the AAA version of it from Firaxis. They are hoping for more awareness of their own title. But doesn't everyone already have it purchased anyways?
I am going to a 2k party tonight so I am going to bother my pr buddie until he gives me code
bother bother bother
it will be for work though so idk if i can start exploding about it over here like I did with Human Revolution
this plan will probably not work
Jealousy approaching critical levels. If your buddy accidentally saddles you with a whole bunch of extra press copies I'll hang on to one for you.
I'm nice like that.
Odd. I imagine that there are a whole mess of us nice like that. Like me.
Seriously, enjoy the party Jintor. Give Jake Soloman, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER a hug and lingering kiss from us.
Like 5 seconds lingering.
wrong continent unfortunately, this is with my local 2k thingy and it's for borderlands

Jintor, can you ask if the overwatch shooting through walls bug is fixed? Because its really disconcerting watching a soldier shoot through 2 walls and the floor of a building at something.
Honestly, these things don't bother me so much. If he can draw line of sight, than cool enough for me, I can stomach the animation clipping through the landscape. Just like I do with every other game ever

The thing was he blatantly didn't have LOS, making a dead shot at a enemy two floors above him right through a building from the outside. It's straight-up wallhax hilarity not seen since CounterStrike circa 2000.
I'm bullish that it's just pre-release shenanigans that will be ironed out by the time it drops.
As a pessimist, that is a concern I can get behind.
EDIT: But really I trust Firaxis to do a good job. I think they were being honest. If not, who knows? I'll deal with it like I do other games. Maybe people will mod the game too. That would be cool.

Well, the wallhaxing thing is probably expected for Snipers (because if I understood it correctly they have an ability that lets them shoot at people they don't have LOS to as long as someone else in the team does, which likely means shooting straight through walls), but I expect it to be outside of the hands of everyone else in the finished product, yeah.
If only xcom had access to such weapons as rifles that set people on fire, rotary-barrel pistols, and rocket launchers that shoot lightning, the aliens wouldn't be much of a threat at all.
The video with the heavy who has a wall hack has become legendary by this point.
Dude it's all explainable - its like the 3rd alien tech research item on the tree; later on you get bunny hopping and Headshot Hax...
If, months down the line, someone made a ridiculous mod that replaced the level up trees with tongue-in-cheek hacking abilites, I think I'd play it. Just sayin'.

Hahaha. From the Xbox 360 preview:
here's one chap who made lieutenant last (in-game) month, unlocking all manner of useful abilities, but he's been critically wounded so often he doesn't have any spirit left. I can't risk deploying him - odds are he'll turn his plasma rifle on friendlies at the first whisper of a bump in the night. Being repeatedly molested by sentient jetpacks does things to a man.

That's neat as hell. Now we can tease the lets play survivors about their cowardice!
I hope there's some mechanic to retire soldiers. Like, he's been critically wounded so many times that he's useless in combat. But he's such a high rank he should be capable of training newer soldiers faster or something. I dunno. Was that even in the original I can't remember?

Yeah, you retired soldiers by giving them headstones.

In the original, retirement meant leaving the Skyranger first.
I mean like, maybe they have some sort of barracks in the base or something. And you staff it with your soldiers. And the higher rank they are, the more bonuses you get or something.
Didn't Evil Genius have something like this that totally worked great?

Bomb defuse mission - no commentator voice over either:
I'd like to see more videos on the strategy layer. It looks really cool. I don't just mean visually but the changes to the UI and the systems seem to be better than the ones to the tactical map. Smarter too.

other than like times new Roman or comic sans

Guns are magical. Suck it up.
Do we REALLY want to give X-com rookies a greater chance to blow themselves up?
haha i honestly didn't see it.
I'd say something about great minds but no great mind has ever uttered the phrase 'the hymen is implied'
