Xcom 2 ? That’s surprising.

RpgSama1950d ago

Amazing! First game was one of my favorites last generation, never got to buy this one because was waiting on a goty edition, and then I just got caught up with every other game

It's currently on sale I'm sure. I nearly bought it. That's kind of a dick move Sony.

XCOM 2 is currently $59.99 on PSN in NA. It's literally full price, so unless things are different in Europe i have no clue what you are talking about?

Xcom 2 is a fantastic game. Perhaps it being offered for free relates to the little rumours about another expansion in the horizon. Certainly a more appealing option if everyone has their hands on Xcom 2.

MONOLITHICIDE1950d ago

Never got to try xcom2. Had xcom for ps3. Great month for me.

Chaosdreams1950d ago

Xcom2 is great, but I'd suggest enjoying it with the War of the Chosen expansion installed. It provides a lot more content (think of the base game expanding in width). It also provides quality of life improvements (base game has a tendency to rush you through a map / which you can adjust with WOC).

Either way, this is a win for anyone into these type of games.

MONOLITHICIDE1950d ago

Chaosdreams
Thank you for the suggestion. Will look into.

IamTylerDurden11949d ago

I love XCOM, i even have it on VITA. I actually Platinumed The Bureau and felt as though that game was unfairly judged. The Bureau had great combat that played like an early Mass Effect game with a mix of real time or turn based gameplay.

joab7771950d ago

Get everyone who didn’t buy it to own it for free, and once they r hooked...expansion!

gangsta_red1950d ago

Xcom 2 is absolutely terrific. I highly recommend you get the War of the Chosen DLC along with the other add ons to make the game even better.

showtimefolks1950d ago

I have never played any is it super hard? I am bad in general in turn based games

Is there an easy or normal setting or is it just one difficulty for all

UCForce1950d ago

There is rookie mode and veteran mode aka easy mode and normal mode. But the game is still challenging.

Eiyuuou1950d ago

The RNG is pretty brutal, yeah.

showtimefolks1950d ago

cool i will give it a shot thanks

gangsta_red1950d ago

I would not play this on any other mode besides normal. It really is doing a dis-service especially when strategy is key. Having it on easy mode would take the fun out of the game.

MrVux0001950d ago

Just don't check "iron-man" mode and you''ll be fine.And yes there are multiple difficulties.

definitely a better offering the Smite lol. i’ll give it a go

1950d ago
Kribwalker1949d ago

i know, it’s pretty terrible. My only guess is maybe they are gonna give a couple games out over E3 cause the smite pack is junk

IamTylerDurden11949d ago (Edited 1949d ago )

Xbox GwG offered a free 2 play and 1/3 of a 2D side scroller,essentially. It was smart for them to give out the AC Chronicles Collection in thirds. That way they can give 1/3 of it each month, it stretches their dollar. I believe all AC Chronicles have now been offered on GwG. Much smarter than giving the entire collection at once, though a bit cheap.

Hardiman1950d ago

War of the Chosen is a pretty big expansion isn't it? Seems like I read it was like a whole game. Either way I'm gonna get the expansions when I download Xcom.

gangsta_red1950d ago

It adds so much to the game as well as updated UI. I wouldn't play Xcom 2 without it.

UCForce1950d ago (Edited 1950d ago )

Meh ? You know Xcom 2 is pretty fantastic. The game is not a garbage. Of course, if you are not into turn base game of course, then I understand.

Segata1950d ago

I love RPGs but only SRPGs I could get into are Valkria Chronicles,Shining Force and Fire Emblem. XCOM doesn't look like it's for me. So I agree. Meh.

UCForce1950d ago

@Segata Well, Xcom series is brutal game. So I understand that.

kneon1949d ago

I have no interest in turn based games, I had enough of that back in the stone age when we had to play with actual people on a physical board sitting at a table.
