The Bureau: Xcom Declassified

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

I bought Declassified on launch because I missed the fps bit hate myself a little.

I got about four or five missions in. I liked the story and I liked the setting.

Honestly, what freaked me out was the slow-time squad-commands. Loved the concept, hated the execution. But I think I was trying to use it more like traditional turn based Xcom.

Mass Effect's implementation of fps squad commands is better imo. It is trying to do less, but some of the fail for me with Declassified is the length of time it took to move your command interface around the screen. Gotta KISS for me, 'cause I'm definitely that latter "s."

What I am waiting for is a thoughtful first person tactical shooter like the original Ghost Recon married to a turn based X-COM strategy game. That would be very cool.

Speaking of Mass Effect, its been too long since I played it.

I had this game for a while but haven't really played it.
Now I got a chance to fire it up for the first time. 
It's quite interesting.  I like the game mechanics and squad tactics.
Too bad many people are ignoring this.

I was rather disappointed with the game.
The entire game feels like it's a huge miss.

A game about playing a secret bureau that investigates, deals with and then covers up ETs sounds exciting...
Except this game quickly turns into a mediocre squad-shooter.

And the ending is just plain terrible and contradicts everything that's been going in the entire game.

At least there's a nice surprise twist about your character :)

Interesting that you still stuck with it through the end of the story...there must be something there worthwhile, no?

I was hoping to at least finish some games.
Plus, how should have I known the ending would completely suck?

Don't spoil it.   
Anyway I'm still playing it no matter what because the tactical stuff is "worthwhile" based on my tastes.

Texas.

I said "aliens", not "illegal aliens".
