"The rebels are FORCING us to bomb civilians" would be uncomfortable on the nose for a pulpy sci-fi game where you shoot a bunch of aliens, IMO

On the other hand, I'll be very surprised and even more disappointed than I already am if there's not at least one mission where your job is to blow up something very big or hit a target area with the goal to blow up as much stuff as you can.

EW: It's 7.50 with a steam key on Greenmangaming right now, if you want it right now. On steam.

This one is the ENTIRE NewCom franchise for $10. DLC and everything. EU, EW, all the little bits. Steam Key, as well.

I just read the "Don't bother playing EU vanilla, EW is objectively better and more complete." post, looked up EW and then balked at the price/lack of sale so thanks for getting the links in at pretty much the perfect time. May as well have them on this page as well.

I could never get the TFTD music working, which probably ruined the experience for me in retrospect. Which may be good because said experience would have been creepy as gently caress.

fake edit: Also found this this video in the related videos.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it as well now.

Are scientist girl, military guy and chinaman popular characters or something? I didn't even remember they had names.

I hated them at first (how dare they change things) but I ended up liking them in the end and think they add a lot to the atmosphere of the game.

sassassin posted:

Why would they "return" if the new game is based twenty years in the future, in a world where they accomplished absolutely nothing?

Why would you? :v:

Vipers seem ridiculously brutal for an early game enemy. Cover is like the one thing rookie troops can use to survive and they just loving negate that. I mean, imagine if there was some early enemy in EW that didn't care about heavy co- wait nevermind.

Won't they presumably need to be within "ridiculously close could probably flank and oneshot rookies if they felt like it" range to do it anyway?

Does it even make sense anymore from a gameplay perspective to have XCOM soldiers with their national flags?

I mean, we're not humanitys best and bravest anymore, we're a bunch of rag tag rebels

Why not? You're not some alien world unification supporter, are you? :colbert:

I know we all know Advent is v. bad but we saw one of them killing loving owning one of the innocent civies in that video. We know now that they're not even willing to protect bystanders if hostile forces show up.

It was funny to go from "XCOM attacks, civilians screaming, feeling a bit awkward here" to "ADVENT clowning random civilians like the cartoon villains they presumably are".

Cythereal posted:

Like you never deliberately blow up civilians on terror missions.

I believe the technical term is "potential chryssalids".
