  • Xcom Enemy Unknown is both a tactical and strategic game about stopping aliens from invading Earth, that surprisingly get's you to care about the soldiers you order around.

    97% chance to hit = 3% chance to lose a soldier

    2k hours of my life were sunk into this game, Long War makes this game the best time sink! Recently got a Vita, and been having a blast playing XCOM on my rides to University. Definently one of my most favourite games of all time.

      I am about to dive in X-Com EU and i am a lot about the modding community, but i will give it a raw go first i think. I like time sinks, i like tactics, somehow i tried the pirate versions of the game and it didn't clicked. Going to try again now.

    To explain it as best I can. The day changes too much, the year changes to little.
    When filing stuff, the month and the year are the most important things. Think of it like a library system, where you have an alphabetical system. Only this time there are 12 letters.
    You put the year last, because grouping by year is a thing, and you need to be able to see it easily. The year is important but it also barely ever changes.
    So then month is first, so you can easily segment the year into 12 groups. Then you put the day, so you can fine tune your month documents order.
    Basically, when you're looking at files, the first thing you do, is look at the month. If it's not the number you're looking for, you can immediately stop looking at it. It let's you eliminate 11 of the 12 options right away. Then you can move on to the date, and odds are the year will probably be what you expect it to be.

    Great review you manged to convince me to give this game a shot once I see it go on sale again! I've also been skimming through your channel after I saw your Dragon Age 2 review which was amazing and hope to see Inquisition review at some point.

    Enemy Unknown introduced the LARGEST GOLDMINE game genre for ALL potential franchises in the history of gaming!
    Then they killed X-Com with Chimera Squad so bad, they don't even deserve to come back! EVER!
    Now it's time for other franchises to take up the Enemy Unknown and Bureau Declassified formulas to make games! Aliens: Dark Descent is a promising upcoming candidate!

      I think you can start with Enemy Within, as it has everything in the base game with all the expansion improvements. You won't miss anything really by skipping Enemy Unknown.

      That's X-Com Baby! But you guys are spoiled, in original X-Com that shot would miss the alien, fly halfway across the map, through two windows, and headshot your Colonel. There were reasons sometimes all you handed a rookie were a pistol and a stun rod...😅
