XCOM V3: Hyphens are SO last decade - Games

Saves my wallet from being complete empty come november/december, so I'm not that bothered. If they feel they need more time, let them have it. They will do their work.

Just as I was thinking the wait is half over. Oh well.

If they were sure they could get it done by then that would have been fine but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

Considering it was gonna come out the same month as FO4 its probably for the better, even if they're extremely different games. But daaaaaamn February is a long ass wait.

That's fine, everything is OK. I'll live. I'll just put this in the jar of other crushed dreams over in the corner. On the bright side, I was going to be a tad strapped for cash when it was coming around anyway. Definitely not bringing the desktop then.

Hopefully we still get today's planned reveals and one of which is the 5th class.

Delayed till Feb ... Honestly that's fine by me.

I'm kind of glad, I didn't want Xcom2 to get overshadowed by Fallout 4.

Me status = decimated It was really shaping up and things looked fine internally. Looks like it could've very easily come out on November all ship shape. I guess it's fine.

And I was looking towards X-Com 2 because it was coming out around my birthday and all.

Well that was a whole heap of nothing, apart from Jake off handingly mentioning "new characters"(Totally gonna be Van Doorn) and others at the megapanel.

i have no idea what you saw bc the twitch thing is at 5pm my time (it's 1pm) and there's a firaxis panel tomorrow idg game conferences

Jake popped onto the Gamespot stream, just going over old news and having the Avenger gameplay in the background.

Aw, next year. Hopefully Fallout 4 will keep interesting for several months.

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;48562540]Delay your birthday.[/QUOTE] Then again, considering that it's also my boyfriend's and mine anniversary, I guess it's a good thing I won't be stuck playing XCom for the whole week.

what the fuck is this smash bros shit [editline]28th August 2015[/editline] nvm [editline]28th August 2015[/editline] stream is a rerun of the same avenger demo

That was disappointing, though apparently they'll be showing more XCOM tomorrow?

i could easily see that being the case but they were also still talking about a lot of things being genuinely WIP at gamescom so maybe there's more to it [editline]28th August 2015[/editline] it's 5 months to release which isn't long enough to QA and balance new features but it's definitely long enough to completely polish and refashion certain things that don't work. the main issue with delays is that they signal some kind of problem but it's hard to get worked up about that stuff with firaxis.

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;48565310]I really wouldn't be surprised if this delay was chosen by a market strategist up in Take-Two rather than someone at Firaxis.[/QUOTE] Another possibility I consider is that there was some kind of issue with the company contracted to print their physical copies - like maybe they welched due to overestimating their capacity and decided to cut back so they could fulfill their more profitable contracts or some such.

I kinda hope someone will make a mod for XCOM 2 that gives it the XCOM 1 story somehow, I want all those nice new features with the original story

I'm fine with this I guess. Just Cause and Fallout AND xcom releasing so close to each other was gonna be murder trying to find time to play each of them. Plus xcom will have extra dev time which is always a good thing.

[url]https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?v=rSM4f2XXn4U[/url] There is reported to be something new at 1400PST. Analysis: - You don't so much have a lose condition as the aliens have their own win condition, which you can claw back - presumably this is true vice-versa.

So they're revealing a big new feature at PAX and it has [I]no[/I] stream coverage? How difficult is it to stick a webcam somewhere?
