Why do you assume they die in one hit? The game even has an X-COM difficulty mode which supposedly makes it ballbreakingly hard. I haven't seen any videos lately but even if a video showed a muton getting oneshotted, this doesn't mean that they are now weaker but only that the game was most likely on a lower difficulty so everyone could pick&play the game without failing miserably in front of the crowd

Yeah, they specifically mentioned in one of the interviews that the muton getting taken out by a shotgun was done to show off the engine. An actual in-game muton probably wouldn't even get scratched by that low-tech of a gun.

And so yet again we are reminded why making assumptions about a game based on trailers or []con footage is a bad idea, not that it'll stop people from doing it. Demo clips tend to be played on low difficulties because making a game =/= being good at a game. They want to show off how it looks, not give people a chance to laugh at someone getting slaughtered over and over.

Holy shit I can't believe it, I had an opinion which I based from demo footage. How undeniably wrong of me to have an opinion based on existing information.

Fact: Mutons in demo all got killed by literally anything, hence to me they do not seem scary.
Fact: Old Mutons wore neon green full body spandex suits , to this day neon green full body spandex suits give me chills, were they worn by purple people I would be running away very fast.

Nothing wrong in getting a misinformed opinion from a demo/trailer. That's the fault of the demo or trailer.

I'm just giving you more correct information to ally that worry.

Why such a hostile reaction to a statement that was essentially me saying "Demo may not reflect actual content. Take with grain of salt."? You might want to stop putting words in my mouth, as well. I'm not saying you aren't allowed to have an opinion, I'm saying that you are basing it on something with little or no connection to the final product. If you go to a fortuneteller and take everything they say as the plain truth, that's your choice, but that doesn't mean that it is particularly wise or logical. Practically every post you've made has been incredibly defensive for no particular reason. At this point, I'm not sure if you're just looking for an excuse to start an argument, or if you're both incredibly insecure and antagonistic at the same time. In either case, I'm not particularly interested in giving you attention any more, so I'll leave it at this.

HOT STUFF!

Firaxis and 2K will be streaming an hour of gameplay footage on Monday. They hinted it it was all new footage, so, I'm quite interested to see it.

More info here.

Dude, what the hell, it's summer. Also, smartphones.

Take a seat because I'm going to BLOW YOUR MIND! It's Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, crazy I know! You'd also find that not everywhere in the world follows the American school holiday dating system. MAD WORLD!
I'm sure you'll have to lie down now after those amazing mind blowing facts about the world. I know I did.

I'd appreciate it if the heated tone that has been building up in here over the last few pages would cool off.

Well, I'm not American, also, I didn't knew that the southern hemisphere follows a different "holiday dating system". I think it's perfectly normal for a person to find this strange, if he doesn't know about this.

This is the X-Com thread and all, but theres only so much suspense there can be before it overflows into arguing, it seems.

College, bro. Classes have been going for two weeks already.
And my "smartphone" can barely load YouTube videos. Streaming is beyond it's capabilities.

Streaming more gameplay footage? Excellent. In the middle of a class? Bleh, I'll find it on YT after the fact.

Weird, I'm in an university, which would be american equivalent of a college, yet the classes begin in the middle of september. I guess it's different everywhere.

Lol...

Wait until you guys have full time jobs. Then you'll really know the meaning of no free time.

Every time I see anything that says something is happening on a weekday I'm like... "well, guess I can't see that".
