XCOM is probably better than whatever you're playing right now. Buy it.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
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.
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
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.
Today Take-Two Interactive Software announced new sales figures for Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V during its quarterly financial conference call. They also teased the future of Firaxis.
It honestly is mystifying to me. I thought GTA V was like ok. Technically impressive in some ways, sure, but kinda quick to become boring for me. Might be series fatigue, because I did probably play more GTA Vice City than any human ever should have.
Gta6 will be in vice city. Can't wait.
I would love for them to remake San Andreas. I played thru it more times than I can count. It capture the 90s Westcoast hood life perfect and had a all star cast. Then the huge map, and cool mini games and feats that changes the character. It's my top 3 favorite game if not #1
@gotta i have the same thing, I just cant get into the newer GTA's anymore. I can tell they are still great games, but i personally prefer the older more arcady GTA games. Nothing beats hearing: KILL FRENZY and then u need to go on a rampage in your car ;)
Vice city was also my favorite, partly because of the multiplayer mod which I used to play a lot with my brother.

I wonder why EA never made a GTA clone considering they bought so many game developers and have so many licenses
They tried, but when your competition makes a game that lasts two generations, whats the point
Rather have GTA 6 instead of milking the same game since 2013
As a gamer I agree but when you look at it in a business perspective, you’d be just fine with what these sales numbers and profits show. Why release the next game when this cash cow is still going 3 generations strong this coming November. Again, this is just a business perspective, not what I personally feel.
I know it won't happen, but I'm hoping for a GTA set in London, written by Guy Ritchie.
Nobody expected a new XCOM game getting announced for this year, and released so quick. And with quite radical changes, developer Firaxis has to temper expectations by stating it’s a spin-off, and it’s sold for cheap.
Like an FBI raid squad, XCOM Chimera Squad kicked opened the doors hard, and hits you strong and fast.
Basically.
tru dat
I refuse to buy anything else until I beat Torchlight 2, Borderlands, and Dishonored. The beta for Xcom ensured that I will be buying it one day soon though.
I miss the days when the fate of a gaming genre didn't hinge on the sales of a single game because publishers couldn't stop focusing on dollar signs long enough to realize that multiple COD clones are stagnating the industry.
im too much in nostalgia to buy it for a full price or ever...
