You're a hero, and you're my bro.

XCOM is on sale for the summer sale.

Does Enemy Within comes with Elite Soldier Pack built-in or should I get the Elite Soldier Pack that's on sale right now to be able to use it in EW?

[QUOTE=RocketRacer;47931855]Does Enemy Within comes with Elite Soldier Pack built-in or should I get the Elite Soldier Pack that's on sale right now to be able to use it in EW?[/QUOTE] The whole bundle is 10$, and EW by itself is also 10$.

The old X-com games are also on sale now. Do the Steam versions work well on modern PCs, or am I better off spending my money elsewhere?

I could have saved a whole euro and a half if I had waited for this xcom sale. But the game deserves it.

[QUOTE=Jrose14;47932049]The whole bundle is 10$, and EW by itself is also 10$.[/QUOTE] I have EW, I only need to know about Soldier Elite Pack DLC and whether EW already has customisation options from Pack in it or I have to buy Pack to unlock them.

stream revealed literally nothing about xcom 2, they just got the producer on for an E3 ticket giveaway, then ended it

as far as i'm aware they're not showing any gameplay this session or talking details at all

[QUOTE=Phantomime;47932079]The old X-com games are also on sale now. Do the Steam versions work well on modern PCs, or am I better off spending my money elsewhere?[/QUOTE] The older games run through dosbox and it can be tough to get a decent resolution to play in. I recommend getting XCOM UFO Defense, then download UFO Extender that adds fixes and better graphical options. It also has some optional additional content like alternate geoscape/battle music, gameplay tweaks etc.

The council support in this game upsets me. You'l get missions from guys who don't need them, whilst the nations with 4 or 5 bars won't send you anything to lower them.

Should I get Enemy within right now or wait until they low down the price?

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;47933507]Should I get Enemy within right now or wait until they low down the price?[/QUOTE] Xcom games are already a part of the main daily sale. It's as low as it's going to get.

He was a sweater wearing dork, but by god he was our dork.

The only reason Van Doorn doesn't have a gun in the mission you save him is because he's clearly shoved it so far up some aliens ass that he can't pull it out and has instead resorted to using his bare, goddamn hands.

[QUOTE=Jrose14;47932049]The whole bundle is 10$, and EW by itself is also 10$.[/QUOTE] It's cheaper to buy the bundle if you don't own EW then it is to buy EW alone. The other DLC are just bonuses. Too bad I don't get a spare X-COM: Enemy Unknown key since I already owned that. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5lTaDhp.png[/IMG]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5lTaDhp.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Right, so Slingshot missions are just extra missions for loot, so I am not sure about the 2.30 price. Is Elite Soldier pack worth anything if you have EW (doesn't it contain it)?
