Space Voyager Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 DOWNLOADING!!! And tomorrow I'm off for three nerve-wrecking days of fieldwork, to suffer in agony of XCOM withdrawal. https://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/SpaceVoyager/Smiley/crying.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It'll only take you an hour to rattle through this, and it's highly recommended to give it a whirl (obviously!) to get a feel for the game. I've posted my thoughts here if you'd all care to chime in? Personally, I enjoyed it - very different and can feel a little restrictive in the first scripted mission but after that your squad-mates lives are in your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencer_pl Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I am constantly under 200kb/s or lower on steam - frigging steam servers. Edit: Why I didn't do this earlier - paused/resumed and going full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermist Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Loved it all, apart from the control scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Test your skills in the new interactive gameplay ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 My first run - 0 casualties all aliens killed I am betting that some of other options will lead to defeat or casualties. Also - you know what is bothering me ? Pump action laser shotgun.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Went with balanced squad, and suffered no casualties either. Went with cover usage, then opted for the riskier alien capture move instead of kill all hostiles, but that particular choice seemed to be ignored as the squaddies just mopped them up. :: I guess it was a no-nonsense kind of squad.

owen magnetic Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I haven't played the demo because I want to go into the game as fresh as possible but my resolve is weakening by the second. HURRY UP AND RELEASE XCOM Space Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 My hero! I succumbed instantly. But I did manage not to watch all the vids out there! Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulzgoroth Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The demo is pretty much a tutorial, and a partial one at that. It doesn't look like it includes anything you won't see in the very beginning of an actual playthrough. People have found spoilers in it, but they had to dig into the data files to do that.

Pete Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've still not watched any of the vids past the earlier PAX ones I think - that one in the train yard was the last I saw. It does spoil it a bit that they've released so much, and spoils it even more when every man and his dog has done massive amounts of playthrough videos already. I remember the joys of the original when I genuinely didn't know what was coming next - even though I had played TFTD first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
