The XCOM/X-Com shit is worse than genwunners.

We know that you're afraid of things that are different.  We don't care.

I'm going to call the new Assassin's Creed: Syndicate "Assassin's Creed: Nuke Ops", in that case.

 If you don't like the fact I'm calling a brand-new fun action game (Humans and Robots and human/robot hybrids vs Aliens and Zombie Aliens and Zombie/Alien hybrids!) by it's actual name, as opposed to that of a decent game which came out what, twenty years ago?, you can, with every iota of due respect, get lost.

Moaning about it on the internet won't bring your childhood favorite back. It's a new game.
and its more fun and less micromanagey and it looks better

Fucking stop, jesus, you people are all unbearable about these things. Take it to the EU thread if you want to complain about name or the original games.

God damn it, will the neuroticism ever end?

Oldcom seems to have a healthy community in Openxcom, so it's not like you can't play that.
We all know that cult classics are very hard to make sequels to, especially if you're aiming for a broader audience.

We'll see what you'll say if the new XCOM sequel streamlines away basescape in favor of linear progression.

"Base management is a chore, let's get rid of it!"

ptw, and quoting because reasons

Well, with the XCOM: EU game having gathered the new audience, hopefully they can expand on the mechanics without it being seen as unapproachable by new people.

The XCOM/X-Com shit is worse than genwunners.

I played X-Com Green and X-Com Blue!

[miauw62]

I have a strange killstreak X-Com with over ten thousand kills.

X-C-O-M Enforcer was my favorite

[Aklyon]

I like the new XCOM. It's just a really different game from the old one, more about a team of legendary heroes saving the world against impossible odds, rather than the old-style "send in the clowns" fifteen-schmucks-in-jumpsuits-with-lethal-alien-weapons, where everyone dies frequently, and sometimes it's simply better to throw more useless sacrificially at an alien than to send a few specialists.

all-SHIV teams are hilarious too.  "You brink robot warriors to fight me? SEND IN OUR OWN ROBOTS!"

and on the latin thing - most mottos or coat-of-arms aren't technically correct latin phrases anyway.

All-MEC teams are pretty close to all-shiv teams in silly, but I like them more.

X-C-O-M Enforcer was my favorite

Thus begins the progressive sillification of the spelling of XC-OM's name.

[Hawk132]

Acquiring hype.

X-C-O-M Enforcer was my favorite

It's sequel, XKOM Enforceptor was the best.

I liked the Mortal XKombat spinoff.
