Ha!  Sounds like you have things well in hand then.

we'll see... this is XCOM you know

Indeed.  Those aliens aren't going to kill themselves.

I definitely know the sentiment.... But this one time I did hack into this elite robot equipped with a grenade launcher.....

I got serious wood when that happened

Hey, this game has a multiplayer function. What if we had a Groghead tournament? Might be good for site promotion on YouTube and/or for the front page if it still exists.  >:D

There's a front page?

I bet if we had a tournament, we'd find out.  ^-^

So is this on the purchase now list, or the wait until sale list....... I have been intrigued by this one as I really liked the last, especially with the Long War Mod.

its all ive played since release - i personally see no reason not to buy now

JasonPratt

Well worth full price, assuming you like the topic. The gameplay is enough like XC1 that you might consider that a reason to wait for a sale, but in many regards it's different enough to warrant both games being valid choices.

Well, only $34 here, just as good as a sale:)

From what I've been reading, I think it sounds a bit tough for me. I can get disheartened and eventually lose interest when I hit a difficulty wall in a game (much like I did the first one - at the enemy space ship I think).

So I'm still holding off...even though that link is almost half price.

I am not great at it, nor was I with the first one.  But still have enjoyed it and think over time will certainly get my money worth, even if I don't finish it.   I never finish most games anyway:)

Lowering the difficulty level to easy made the game enjoyable for me. It's still challenging, but reasonable. I found the difficulty on normal to be unexpectedly hard and therefore very frustrating.
