I want to send a blaster bomb up a chryssalid's ass. I want to punch a muton in the face. I want to light a reaper on fire with a minigun that can shoot fire and explosions.Sober Thal said:Like I told the last guy:CD-R said:snip
So what, you want a squad you can customize that you level up their different classes? You want to be able to choose to either capture alien tech and use it then and there or choose to take it back to your base and research it? You want tactics? You want to pull the camera back and see what's going on and use time units?
Would this make you happy??
I warn you.... he says Uh uhm a lot of times, but it's all in the game.

I would guess flying power armor would be something you researched from alien tech, eh? It could easily be in this game.
I just am appalled that so many people are giving a game that is trying to think outside the 'CoD box' so much hate. I get that there are fans, but the last few X-Com games are some of the worst things to have ever existed. At least give them some credit for moving in a better direction, and give the game a chance in 9 months.

I want shoot down an alien terror ship over Antarctica. I want threaten to tear a snakeman commander's gissalgan out if he doesn't tell me where the alien stronghold is. (Seriously alien interrogation mini game I could get behind that) I want to mind control a floater and make him shoot three of his buddies.
There's tons of potential and exciting new directions you could have taken this series. Like using the alien surgery technology to make cyborgs.
Or using the alien reproduction technology to make vat grown super soldiers why not.

If 2k wanted us to judge this game on it's own merits then they should not have attached the X-Com name to it. Since they decided to call it an X-Com game then I'm going to judge it on whether or not it is a good X-Com game. It could very well be an alright shooter. But right now it's not shaping up to be a good X-Com game and there's no way they could possibly alter the game enough in 9 months to make it something fans of the older series can recognize. Again Fallout 3 may have been more of a shooter but you could still tell it was a Fallout game.
