Xcom Story Recap
Does anal probing and splashing alien goo everywhere sound like a good time? Then Xcom is for you. Unless you weren't aware those things were a reference to Xcom the game and are only now realising you typed Xcom instead of Xdom for some perverted role playing filth.
Either way, what Xcom is and isn't doesn't matter, so far as the video I made on it is brilliant - but you already knew that. While Xcom did promise to tickle my fancy, you know with it being 'aliums' and what not, it didn't quite hit the mark. The Xcom gameplay and over all finish just didn't do anything for me and I really wanted to like it. Unlike it's better looking sibling The Bureau Xcom Declassified, which was much better, using a hybrid third person and order people to do shit mechanic.
This is why I didn't rush out to buy Xcom 2 and don't really plan on getting it either, as by what I've heard it's in some ways worse. Xcom did the opposite of what I wanted it to and that was care less about aliens. Which wasn't the case with the aliens from Fallout, which are just a lot more interesting.
To me Xcom seems like a game that did just enough to be passable, from the story to the gameplay and cutscenes, it seems - meh. Now I am aware the original Xcom games made many moons ago were loved, so maybe nostalgia blinded certain people to it's short comings. Fuck I'm guilty of that (looks over at my Sega Mega Drive ultimate collection disk), but I would think any new Xcom players would be underwhelmed by what the game had to offer.

that shit just flicks you in the arse like a wet towel every time
One thing turned based players old and new can agree on is the accuracy horse shit - you know what I'm talking about. You have a 95% chance to hit and the barrel of your gun is resting on your enemies earlobe and blam!...miss. Don't let any gamer, don't care how long he's been a gamer, tell you that doesn't piss them off. Because whether he understands the logic or not, that shit just flicks you in the arse like a wet towel every time.
