Anybody else playing this?

Cod you guys are so lame. You complain about the consoles ruining games and then when a legit pc version of the xcom line is released you just sit on your butts and stuff your faces like wilford brimley.

Um... I think I will try this...

same here looks like nice game.

I've had it for a little while and I like it quite a bit. To me it's more a more streamlined version of UFO Defense, with prettier graphics. :D
-
I picked it up on steam this past weekend. Been having fun with it, and the battles can be TOUGH....one shot kills on your men, etc.. all in all pretty cool though
-
While Enemy Unknown is pretty good, what I hate about it is you only get the one dropship. Xenonauts however is just like UFO Defense in that you can have as many as you want. I generally get another dropship at the start, which allows me to deal with more crashsites at once early on and it allows me to quickly build up a lot of experienced soldiers. It helps me later on in case my primary team manages to get turned into Alien Stew. :bhead Another benefit is the ability to make multiple bases. I'll setup a base to cover solely on R&D and another for Production, with yet another solely for Intercept. :x
Now, if ONLY there was a multiplayer setup for it. Can you guys imagine if you have 2-4 players doing a go? With 4 players, one can concentrate on R&D, another on Production, with a 3rd doing Intercept and the last person doing the ground pounding. :x Would be tough early one but once they have things smoothed out, oh yeah! :rock
-
I want to have fun with it....but it keeps locking up at the start of the first ground mission. :cry
-
I just lost a whole squad of eight decked out in predator armor with MAG weapons assaulting an alien base for the first time. :mad:
-
Look what I found.

Downloading now... :noid
-
So no one would be interested if they did a multiplayer setup? :(
Still, this game is a blast. Said it before, and I said it again. :D
-
Figured out the problem locking up the damn thing....I'm having flashbacks of playing XCOM until 4AM and jumping when one of the damn hidden aliens killed a trooper.
Great game...so far its closer than anything else I've seen to the original XCOM. Well worth the purchase....
-
Just avoid those night missions if at all possible. Things LOVE to reach out and "touch" your troopers more so then. :noid

....I'm having flashbacks of playing XCOM until 4AM and jumping when one of the damn hidden aliens killed a trooper
That's exactly why I can't even look at this game.... 1995, my wife and I were not even married 6 months, and she was ready to divorce me over XCOM.....
-
The secret to base assaults is to assault them when they're new. If you assault them when they're new they're just defended by robots. When I assaulted the oldest alien base it was defended by the smart aliens and those damn mind controlling blue ant-headed bastards.
The fact that everyone was crapping their pants about how good Enemy Unknown was when it came out is just indicative of how low our expectations of computer games have become I think.

:rofl
Well, at least I'm not an Assault. I see what will happen: 1) I'm going to take a shot, miss so badly that I may as well saved the alien the ammo and shot myself. 2) The alien is gonna spatter my spleen on a wall in the reaction fire. IF I survive: 3) I'm going to proceed to soil myself. 4) Alien going to finish "helping" me out of my dilemma.

Attempting to retreat from the bridge of a downed alien carrier ship, hemorrhaging from serious wounds, Private Zerstorer was fatally shot in the back by a blue alien android. His cremated remains will be shipped back to his home of record in East Germany. His next of kin have been informed that he died in helicopter crash on a mission to rescue lost girl scouts. Had PVT. Zerstorer been in better shape he may have survived, he only had 36 TUs. Something to think about next time you're whining about physical training.
PVT MK84 has been promoted to corporal.
PVT Volron has been promoted to corporal.
PVT SOL75 has been promoted to corporal.
CPL Floob has been awarded the Order of Gallantry
A moment of silence for PVT Zerstorer..

In Soviet Germany, TU's train YOU! Zerstorer did not understand this. He paid price. Mother/Fatherland will miss Comrade. :salute

It was in my report that policeman "fell" in front of CPL Floob's bullet while he was in action against alien threat. Such is report in Soviet Germany. As for Crimson Heart, if command deems it not award-able, then one will not complain. :salute

Mission: Battleship interception.
CPL SOL75 was killed in action inside an alien battleship. He was part of a five man breaching team, while standing next to a teleport pad a Reaper suddenly materialized on the teleport pad and impregnated CPL SOL75.
CPL Volron was killed in action inside an alien battleship. He was among the four surviving members of the breaching team. While clearing the bridge of the alien battleship he was cut down by Sebillian plasma weapons. Fellow operatives attempted to give medical aid but it was too late.
CPL MK84 has been promoted to sergeant. CPL MK84 has also been awarded the Order of Merit.
SGT FLOOB has been awarded the Order of Merit.
This mission has provided us with a singularity core from the alien battleship, a critical piece of equipment that we now possess. Due in no small part to the actions of CPL Volron and CPL SOL75.
A moment of silence for CPL SOL75 and CPL Volron..

Hey! I am MUCH better looking than that!!!!! :rofl
I'm recruiting pvt Floob now, lets all wish him the best. The average Xenonaut has a life expectancy of about 3 missions.

My GAWD this game is hard...on the regular difficulty setting :confused:

At least you didn't get impregnated by a reaper alien. I've started a new game, I'll add your clone to that one.
