XCOM: Enemy Unknown Alien Round Up

Very useful video. Thank you Kevin ;)

I never played the original , but thought of giving the demo a try cause it was form the creators of civilization .the first mission I was not impressed and even considered ending it but thought of trying the second mission,  the second reeled me in a bit more and then the demo ended and i wanted more, now just waiting to get my hands on 1

Amazing game for me is the Best game i have played this year and one of the greatest games i have ever played, an instant classic.

for the next dlc they should make a extra mission where you get to find out where the aliens came from and why they invaded

I enjoy the game its a much needed break from all the FPS games.  Only problem I have with it is the wonky camera. Maybe its just me but the camera is really hard to control when dealing with movement on the inside of multi level buildings.

I cannot wait to see what they do with DLC for this new XCOM. Best game I've played in ages.

Finally, a real XCOM. Now I want to gather my friends and do a traditional marathon with each of us taking control of a soldier and all the base decisions being taken from consensus. Those were the days and finally I can have a taste of that again.

Loved the original. Love this one. Cannot wait for Xenonauts as well (Starhawk Interactive's take back to the original). Don't really see the "dumbing down" that some are screaming about. If they want to see " "dumbing down" then play Dragon Age Origins followed by Dragon Age 2. I wanted to cry when I played DA2. I cannot believe I actually want to see some DLC happen here. I hate DLC but I want more XCOM. Would like to see more stats in the soldiers and alients like the original. -More aliens, -More classes of soldiers. -More missions

They made the aliens looks too cartoony. What happened to the old horrifying aliens from the original game? The ones you crapped your pants to catch a mere glimpse of in the shadows?

Here's a tip, don't build the hyperwave relay in single player, then you can extend your game time by 10 fold. Good gaming :)

This was my first matched I played online and it was a huge succes even though I had no idea what to pick. I had I max out SUPPORT, 3 regular floaters, and 1 sectoid against a 1/2 way sniper, muton bersker, and crystoid. I won with my support, and 2 floaters left.

Would have been a nice suprise to find out the original was also on the disc, this game just reminds me of how amazing the original enemy unknown was and I would have paid £5 or £10 to for a code to unlock it, still loving it though, pretty tired at work atm hehe! 

Berserker gets shot => gets mad => moves closer to assault soldier => Rapid Fire at point blank => ??? => Profit.

Get Iron Will from Officer Traning School (Not sure if possible in multiplayer) => Get Psi Soldier => with Mind Shield => get Support with Combat Drugs => Use Psi Inspiration => mind control a freaking Ethereal.

Oooooh and before I go....

please.... PLEASE for the SAKE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED AND PURE AND HOLEEEEEE

can we at least hope for a DLC ----->>>>>>TERROR OF THE FREEEKING DEEP>>>>>>>??????!!!!!!

I got this game... and it is simply FRIG  .. mother GIN... AWE.. SOME

firaxis me love you.

me love you Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time :)

no seriously given 1/2 the chance I will love you guys long time.

(awesome game, brings back memories of playing the original till the wee hrs of 2 3am ; you know... that one more mission to retrieve alien artifact and I'll go to bed I swear to g0d, just one more mission and I'll stop)

In the single player they have this drone walker that is an upgrade to the cyber disc.  Its totally overpowered.  Damn thing gets three turns to do anything, two move/attack turns and an overwatch turn.  Its range is practically impossible, it can see across the map practically and its aim is almost 100%.  The two times ive versed it, ive lost men to it and each of these were from one attack.  The game still does deserve the 8.5 rating but the game sucks when they cramp your men into tight quarters because it seems that your aim accuracy drops really bad when enemies are literally right in front of you and the enemy has better sight lines and attack probabilities.  outdoors at night time are bad too, I've had units stand right in front of a bad guy and still had a poor aim rating and still miss.  They need to revamp the system and buff the stats of that unit.  Its so bad that I didnt see it listed in the video about the enemy units because if it were available noone would use anything else.  It has like 25 hit points, with a like 10 to 18 attack strength.

I don't know if I'm ready for the Impossible difficulty yet.

FUCKYOU SC2 AD

6:20 zombie black ops music.

Do the zombies not spawn an additional cryssalids after several turns in multi player like they do in single player?

I hope X-COM Apocalypse will be remade too. Such an awesome game where online battles would have even more potentiality since the diversity of different factions. Clever minds perhaps even could make Apocalypse nearly popular in e-sports as SC2 or LOL. 

ty for the great video, KVO. i really enjoyed it, and it was very informative.

i want to buy this game so bad (right now) but i wish they would release some information on a patch to address the shooting through walls thing, the cover (you're not really covered) thing as well as the CTH/RNG thing that a lot of people are griping about on the steam forums.

am i wrong in saying these things are major issues, or are they minor and people are making a big deal out of nothing?

Are they going to release any patch soon for this game

It would be really handy for multiplayer if you could setup and save multiple squads - so if you want to swap between 7.5k / 10k / 20k / unlimited battles, or have a human squad and an alien squad you could quickly switch, rather than having to create each unit again.

This is so dumbed down from the original X-Com. There has never been a game as addicting and skill-based, as the original X-Com. It's $10 on Steam. Anyone even thinking about buying this game, save your money and buy the better version.
