Forum Overview :: Guess Who Fucked Up X-Com Now

Re: it's better than it was in early access by Ice Cream Jonsey 06/18/2014, 9:50am PDT In what universe is the new XCOM better than Xenonauts? You can take four idiots on a mission on the new one and the developers were too stupid to understand the effects of panic on low-number squads. You also can't shoot wherever you want. The entire game is your dudes going through the specific paths wants you to go through with an awkward story bolted on. Xenonauts is a beautiful, deep, engaging and tense newborn that has arrived from above to save us all. It's drinking from me right now on the bus, and everyone is actually pretty cool about it except the bus driver. ICJ
