This is actually a really fun squad based third person shooter
Why did Xcu'ck fags have to lie to me and say it was bad?
>>319397192
Because it's not what people want from XCom. If people wanted a third person squad shooter they had plenty of other options.
Good game, bad XCom entry.
>>319398414
>Good game, bad XCom entry.
Yeah and X-com is such a "good series"
Face it, The Bureau could make top 10 X-com games without even trying, because most X-com games are bad.
I went in hyped for a 1960s MiB shooter. It still sucked ass. Your companions are fucking retarded.
>>319398507
>Yeah and X-com is such a "good series"
>Face it, The Bureau could make top 10 X-com games without even trying, because most X-com games are bad.
No one agrees with you.
The newer X-com games are truer to the original games, and performed better.
You are just being a stupid contrarian.
>>319399394
>Your companions are fucking retarded.
You're the one in control of them - so that means you're the real retard
>>319399478
>The newer X-com games are truer to the original games, and performed better.
Sure, if you're a retard that plays console games
X-com 2 is PC only so it might actually be good unlike the X-com reboot.
JUST
I played the original, TFTD, and the 2012 remake. I also finished The Bureau.
The companions were a bit annoying A.I wise. The story was sub-par. The gameplay also wasn't what anyone wanted from XCOM (and was pretty bad itself).
I'd like to say the game had something good going for it but it really doesn't. If you like this game you either have shit taste or are simply being contrarian.
>>319399969
>The companions were a bit annoying A.I wise.
YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF THEM
>The story was sub-par.
Compared to any entry in the X-com series, that's a compliment.
>>319399742
>You're the one in control of them
Nope, this isn't a tactical game. No matter what you do the game takes over and makes them suck their own dicks to die.
>>319400086
>You are in control of them
I could give them commands but ultimately they'll just have their A.I kick in soon after and commit sudoku.
>>319400141
>>319400207
You guys are just bad at games then cause I've NEVER had a problem with them that wasn't my own fault
They did what I needed them to do, which is to stay close or go into specific positions I needed them to.
>>319400379
>Well I never had a problem with it so you must all be bad!
>>319399854
x-com enemy unknown has always been a generally well praised game on /v/, what are you talking about?
So you're saying I should have picked it up on the JB website when it was like a dollar yesterday by accident?
>>319400630
>Is it worth a dollar?
Yeah. I'd stop at $5 though.
>>319397192
It's alright, and has a really clever tweest at the end, but it's really nothing special.
>>319400490
>x-com enemy unknown has always been a generally well praised game on /v/, what are you talking about?
So was Fallout 3, Five Nights at Freddy's and Hotline Miami 2.
Enemy Unknown appeals to retards that think it's like the classic titles, but wouldn't know how to setup Dosbox to play the actual good ones if their lives depended on it
I'm excited for X-com 2 being PC only and hope it's great, but EU sucked dick and The Bureu is a decent spin off.
>>319400472
Yes, I literally didn't have a problem with the AI companions. They stuck close, revived me when I needed it and rarely (if ever) got themselves in trouble.
Why did you have such a problem?
>>319400859
>EU sucked dick
>Excited for X-COM 2
>>319400976
>They're not making it for console retards cause they realise they have no interest
>They have a chance to make it good this time cause they can put a focus on the things that matter as they don't have to think about the 12 buttons an Xbox controller has
>>319400859
>this faggot hates GOTY 2015
FUck off cuc'k, Hotline Miami 2 is great
>>319401063
How's that level editor?
>>319401116
It's great without it
>>319400840
This right here. I didn't like the game overall. I didn't hate it, but it was just a boring shooter for the most part since having to use your squad was generally unnecessary even on the highest difficulty.
I can legitimately say I didn't expect the twist near the end. They did a good job with that at least.
>>319401289
I kind of wish the twist had been in a better game because I think people would rave about it if it was.
>>319397192
It's Ass Erect in the 60s with expendable mooks for companions, repetitive cover based TPS gameplay, damage sponge enemies (fuck earlygame mutons and sectopods), dumb tweest, fuckton of plotholes, linear plot and not even an illusion of choice
>here pick one of 3 characters and get a copy pasted ending with minor edits between each choice
The promotional material was good. I mean the live-action trailers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucffVEaRFvI
>>319401471
>repetitive cover based TPS gameplay,
Yes, how dare I play a shooting game so I can then shoot things.
What do you want faggot? Do you play Doom and complain there aren't enough vehicle segments?
>>319401597
A good shooter can make repetitive shooting not as monotone using a bit of effort.
Xcom had none of that effort.
>>319400859
Hey anon, you've clearly got some feelings attached to the originals and feel a little hurt that a game wasn't what you expected or wanted, but don't ya think that maybe we just like it because it's simply just a good game?
>>319401597
>I like cover based gameplay
With the exception of shitty iPhone games it usually just makes games into boring shooting galleries. The Bureau was no exception.
>>319401471
>>319401734
>>319401792
Also you're complaining about a game that isn't an RPG - not being an RPG enough.
Just because it has similar talky parts as Mass Erect doesn't mean it was going for the same thing.
Also you wanna talk repetitive cover based shooters? Fucking Gears of War. No squad tactics, shitty grey environments, no super powers.
Why aren't you complaining about that shitty game?
>>319401840
>Timmy, I know the food you're eating is a pile of dogshit on a plate
>BUT THINK ABOUT THAT OTHER KID DOWN THE STREET WHO ONLY GOT A BIT OF DIRT, YOU SHOULD EAT YOUR DOGSHIT AND LIKE IT
>>319401992
>"The game you're playing is actually shit" analogy
Oh man I love this. Why not whip out the "if this game were like food" analogy.
>>319401840
Because it's not X-COM
Is that really hard to figure?
>>319402113
>Because it's not X-COM
But it literally is about X-com.
>>319401840
But people do complain on /v/ about how shitty Gears of War is.
I actually think you just need to come to terms with the fact the game is shit and you have shit taste with general standards in respect of this game. No-one lied to you when they said it was bad. The game has pretty low ratings even for sites which give 9/10 for a majority of the games reviewed.
It'd be a bit like if someone found Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing to be fun. It's not that he was lied to about it being shit. Just a case of shit taste with respect to that one game.
>>319402074
...Did you even read my post? That's exactly what I did. You're pretty much telling us because a game is shittier then this one, all criticism of this game is invalid because reasons.
>>319402154
>look at all those mario rehashes
>but anon, that one is a sports game, that one is a karting game and this is a plataformer
>shut up those are all literally mario rehashes
>>319402167
>The game has pretty low ratings even for sites which give 9/10 for a majority of the games reviewed.
So you're defending websites that do this just because The Bureau offends your autistic sensibilities of what X-com should be. (Not that you're old enough to know what makes a good X-com game considering you think there aren't bad X-com games in the 90's)
Well guess what pal? X-Com EU is not up to par of what a good X-com game should be.
>>319402223
Your post sucked, and I didn't bother to read it. Play better games.
>>319402464
>I CAN'T REFUTE YOU SO I'M GOING TO FLAT OUT ADMIT THAT I DIDN'T READ YOUR POST
Good job, 10/10. You sure are the winner here
>>319402223
So you're saying all third person cover shooters are bad, because Gears of War is considered the pinnacle of the genre and it's one of the worst game series going right now
>>319402418
>Deleting your comment to add a half-assed insult about ageThis is pretty good for a bait thread. Had me convinced someone found something other than the twist legitimately fun
>>319402565
This ain't b8
Retarded EU fart sniffers like you kept me from playing this game for years and it's pretty fun. I don't think it's perfect and would definitely balance character skills a different way if I made it, but I like it regardless
>>319402556
>>319402418
As others have said, EU was generally well received by both new and old X-COM fans. Sorry you didn't like it. Hopefully EU2 turns out better for you.
>>319402769
>Hopefully EU2 turns out better for you.
>EU2
It's X-com 2 you fucking faggot and it will definitely be good because it's not made for retarded console gamers like you.
>>319397192
Mass Effect with 60's look. It's pretty bad.
Also, enemy unknown remake is a fucking joke and this game just take it's gameplay and puts the camera behind one guys shoulder.
>>319402694
Your gif took too long, I didn't bother watching it. Please cut down the number of frames.
>>319402830
>Mass Effect with 60's look. It's pretty bad.
It's nothing like Mass Effect. Mass Effect has shitty gameplay.
>>319402815
It's a direct sequel to EU, thus calling it EU2 is logical enough.
You seem to be unreasonably mad for literally no reason. I would suggest doing something more productive, or going to play something that will calm you down.
>>319402932
>It's a direct sequel to EU
But they know it's an abomination and won't call it EU2 you dumbass.
If EU name was worth anything, they would have kept it, but they didn't CAUSE IT'S SHIT YOU FAGGOT
>>319402836
>All these Enemy Unknown faggots whose first gaming machine was an Xbox 360 and not a PC that proclaim that shitty reboot as a good game
FUCK YOU
Alright? Fuck you.
I liked it.
I don't understand people who complain that an XCOM spinoff doesn't use the same gameplay, I liked the different perspective it gave to the XCOM universe, people seem to be acting as if a game set in a fictional universe has to play the same as every other game set in the same fictional universewhich sounds pretty retarded if you ask me
>>319403241
This is my point exactly.
It's without a doubt the best spin off the series has received and is far better than some of the really bad turn based ones. *cough* EU *cough*
>>319403204
Man are you okay? At first it was funny seeing how assblasted you were that nobody shares your shitty opinion, now i'm convinced you're mentally ill
Why are you so worked up?
>>319403424
Cause you faggots literally made me think
>Wow The Bureau must be bad because even the Enemy Unknown faggots don't like it
So I avoided it until it was $3.99 in a Steam sale and was gonna refund it if it was bad.
>>319403329
>It's without a doubt the best spin off the series has received
That's not a big accomplishment when every single spinnoff X-COM game was beyond dogshit.
>>319397192
I actually enjoyed the game. The ending was a cool twist and I liked walking through the XCOM bunker
>People unironically responding to this bait that looks like it was written by a 10 year old.
/v/ is dead.
>>319403676
Me too, although I wish books, letters, notes and audio logs were collectable and weren't just laying about.
>>319403762
Oh no someone wrote some retarded shit and some people replied calling him retarded, he really tricked us good, damn!
>>319403848
The only problem is you expose yourself to be retarded when you can't prove OP wrong.
>>319403891
Yeah i really should spend more time on /v/ changing 1 persons personal opinion using facts and logic, I'll look a lot less retarded this way.
Is that what you're doing now?
>>319403891
>Prove someone's opinion is wrong
>Prove that someone's taste is shit
Everyone has shit taste to someone. When your opinion is refuted by the collective whole, however, it can generally be said that your taste is more shit.
>>319404264
>When your opinion is refuted by the collective whole
How many Transformers movies and Adam Sandler movies can you defend with that logic you turd smuggler?
>>319397192
Shit AI combined with the classic Xcom unforgiveness made it painfully frustrating.
>>319404240
So why are you posting here?
>>319404409
To laugh some more at this dude who's splerging out at people enjoy Enemy unknown mostly
>>319404409
How about you?
>>319404401
>Shit AI combined
You're in control of the AI - it's literally your fault.
>with the classic Xcom unforgiveness
LOL.
Where and when did this happen?
I see you've never actually - y'know - played The Bureau, let alone any classic X-com game for that matter.
My god you people suck at video games.
>>319397192
Played it a bit 2 or 3 years ago but I remember being bored out of my mind after a few hours. Does the game at least have some interesting weapons later on?
>>319405265
Summoning friendly goop and drones along with more alien tech
>>319405423
Yeah but are they interesting or are they basically alien versions of rifles, bazookas and pistols?
>>319405535
Alien bazookas.
>>319405580
Fuck that then.
