XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review l The Awkward Glitch

The Awkward Glitch writes: "Those horrible design choices make for a dull experience. Most of the gameplay is spent carefully inching your way up the war-torn, big-eyed alien filled areas as you sometimes roadie run to the next spot. Of course, doing so allows them to shoot at you while you can’t shoot back. That’s not strategic. Yelling at the 14-year-old co-op buddy who randomly joined your GOW3 match to lay down inaccurate suppressing fire is strategic."

So what you are saying is, you suck as turn based strategy games. This game is nothing like Gears of War! The only similarity is it uses UE3.

Every complaint you have only happened because you are shit at the game!

So what you are saying is, you didn't read the article.

"Satirical, etc. If you don’t buy this game, I’ll lop off your vital reproductive organs."

bumnut4206d ago

Actually I did read it, the part you quoted does not even look like part of the article! Its in a different font and looks like part of the facebook, twitter, etc part at the bottom.

But im man enough to admit I made a mistake.

Ha! Love the satire. And in the interest of my vital reproductive organs I'll happily buy this game.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930176d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183176d ago

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

JL2930175d ago (Edited 175d ago )

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

Ten Best Tactical Mobile Games

There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy.
