XCOM: Enemy Unknown Message Board  

Wonder if we going to get a trainer on the demo

nope

Demo is way too short to merit a trainer, not to mention half of it is fully scripted and the other half so linear it may as well be scripted.

The demo's so short, and came out so close to the release date of the full game, it would be kinda pointless. Besides, I want to play the game at least once WITHOUT a trainer, so, no rush.

If you pre-order on steam you get Civ 5 for free, good bonus for those who don't have it already, still a good bonus if you have already as you can gift it :P

You also get an old UFO type soldier as a member of your team, think he is already promoted etc when you get him. As well as TF2 skins if you like TF2 and waste your life on it :P

But it has made me look out my old UFO and XCOM games, Terror from the Deep coming up!

as someone said, the controlls feel very consol, a shame, but overall it doesn't ruin the game

the demo was abit dissapointing, it basicilly showed nothing but a few turns of combat, i had hoped to get to play with basebuilding.
I like how the promotion system works, having to choose at each rank, and not getting everything, makes you actually care for your soldiers, since they don't feel like clones, so losing one, will have a big impact on your squad

Oh, i hope to god they got rid of the hidden ''turn'' limit that the other X-com games had, it always ****ed me off!

im very carefull with pre-ordering games, but knowing the overall quality of the other X-com games, this one gets picked, doesn't hurt either to get a free extra copy of Civ 5 💛, on a sidenote, any1 know where to find the extra copy of Civ 5, for gifting, when i already got the game?

it should be in your steam inventory
