unlabelledView post →the government should be spending one billion dollars to make a new XCOM game that runs on all systems including ipad
unlabelledView post →"there's a new star wars game" hard pass, no thank you "it's XCOM 3 in all but name" you son of a bitch i'm in
unlabelledView post →If I was a billionaire I’d just personally pay 20 million dollars every year to make a new Xcom game and then I’d be able to play it and I wouldn’t even notice the money being gone and some people would think I’m cool for funding it. I guess I could also become a bigot because I saw memes online tho
unlabelledView post →Maybe 2025 is the year I finally play XCom 2, which is notably a game that has been sitting in my library unplayed since release
unlabelledView post →Reasonably well known at the Other Place that I'm a gamer, but yes, Bluesky, I'm a game nerd. OG Fallout guy, also love XCOM, as well as many WWII and other strategery games. I just bought a new rig from @falconnorthwest.bsky.social too, arrives next week.
unlabelledView post →NEW VIDEO: In 2006 a Washington DC based think tank hired future lead designers of Civilization and XCOM to make a strategy game based on a documentary about nonviolent protest. 20 years later I'm here to tell you why. youtu.be/dmL7Ph4Us8o
unlabelledView post →a few people have asked me what i think about it. XCOM games are often discounted at like 2$, get it, if you like it, then it’s XCOM/Fire Emblem set in the clone wars. It’s my fav SW game since force unleashed
unlabelledView post →its pretty interesting and notable from a game-design standpoint that people still seem to really like the original Final Fantasy Tactics and XCOM over new games in the genre that have been "improved" with the addition of modern game design philosophy
unlabelledView post →*secretly wishing every single turn based tactics game was just more of XCOM 2 war of the chosen* oh yeah I just wish the game loop was more holistic, you know?
unlabelledView post →God the amount I would suffer if I bought like an XCom game or like Darkest Dungeon. Absolute misery. SO I DON'T.
unlabelledView post →I can't find the exact screenshot but on my playthrough of XCOM:EU, I had a late game mission where these five dipshits were all set up with 95% overwatch shots on a guy that my Support triggered. They all missed and then he Crit one-shot my Support. That's XCOM, baby!
unlabelledView post →There was an old article about Xcom 2 from Kotaku that called it the sports game of the year because it was very focused on managing rosters and doing a lot of things sports videogames do and there’s something to that because if you have a fighting game but I get to equip hats that’s also an rpg
unlabelledView post →Things are bad but they made a game about Star Trek Voyager that looks like a cross between Stellaris and Xcom so things have never been better
unlabelledView post →This sucks, Gears Tactics was a great XCom style game, they could have easily gone on to make more in that vein, but private equity.
unlabelledView post →I'm still chewing through this (the devs kindly sent me an early copy) but it has my highest recommendation. The title is dull. The game is anything but. Like if Supergiant made an XCom game. Funky squad tactics about magic knights on mopeds fighting demons in anachronistic, very camp Italy.

unlabelledView post →There's an XCOM like game, called Star Wars: Zero Company, coming out soon! BUT IT'S RELEASED BY EA, WHO JUST GOT BOUGHT BY THE FUCKING SAUDIS MEDIAWASHING BLOOD MONEY FUND. FUCK. 😩
unlabelledView post →XCOM The Miniatures Game is now on pre order from @modiphius.bsky.social I had the pleasure of painting two of the Operatives. They were a lot of fun to paint, I especially love the Heavy sculpt. Fantastic models the heavy was sculpted by Ben de Bosdari and the assault by Joana Abbott. #xcom

unlabelledView post →3DS middle/deep cuts? Any of the M2 3D Sega ports. Superscaler in 3D is religious. Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, which is probably the best XCOM game
unlabelledView post →BG3 has me on some XCOM shit tonight if my hit percentage is 91, and I miss twice in a row, your game is full of LIES and BULLSHIT
unlabelledView post →1) yes. 100%. full agreement 2) losing it at how this looks like the Global Leaders you’d expect to in an XCOM game
unlabelledView post →I earnestly think the game would’ve sold better if it had been marketed as “Marvel Persona” instead of “Marvel XCOM”

unlabelledView post →XCOM: Apocalypse. Terrible, difficult game at a terrible, difficult time of my life.
unlabelledView post →10. Xcom 2 This is the big one! The game I've had on the long finger for the longest I think. I bought it back when it first came out. Now, the 10th anniversary flew me by somehow. I'd been planning to stream it, name characters after chat, and still do at some stage.
unlabelledView post →Sometimes I think about Chimera Squad which has such a interesting concept as a Xcom game with fun gameplay but then also hits you with 'also you are cops'
unlabelledView post →The other fun thing about The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is that WE knew that Firaxis was making a proper XCOM game but the public did not. So the response was always "this isn't XCOM!"

unlabelledView post →they're saying this Star Wars XCOM game might be the worst thing to happen to my productivity since, well, ever
unlabelledView post →I have hundreds of design credits on BGG, and I think maybe a quarter of them are expansions I did not design, for games I designed. XCOM the board game only has my name on the cover, but it should also have Nikki Valens and Lukas Litzinger, who were more co-designers than developers.
unlabelledView post →Hey have you all heard that XCOM 2 is a pretty good strategy game
unlabelledView post →I saw someone on Reddit referring to our game Cyber Knights as XCOM meets Ghost in the Shell, and that makes me so happy. 😄
unlabelledView post →Agents of SHIELD rules right up to the end did you know. But also, no two franchises have ever been better suited to one another than this and XCOM There should be an Agents Of SHIELD XCOM game that follows the events of the show

unlabelledView post →been playing this early access game called Menace and damn I really forgot how much I miss XCOM
unlabelledView post →Update, probably gonna restart my playthrough a second time lol. The long term death spiral in this game even in "normal" difficulty is so brutal and makes XCOM seem quaint

unlabelledView post →I didn't realize the XCOM game would mean some really nice miniature options, too. I mean, look! You could have Nick Cave on your tabletop!
unlabelledView post →I gotta get him Also I really like the idea that in Kill Team he's the final boss. It's very XCOM. Y'know, maybe Age of Sigmar needs an XCOM game...
unlabelledView post →ALSO, MY CO-DESIGNER ERIC DESIGNED THE XCOM BOARD GAME???
unlabelledView post →In any game, if I can't make a convincing me or Aver, I strive to make the least heroic hero ever. I completely missed Midnight Suns, brain mixed it up with Marvel rivals. So this is the next "XCOM" game sort of. Anyways, the "Chosen One."
unlabelledView post →...I think I like Xenonauts 1 more than 2. It hurts a little to realise that. The second game feels... dumbed down, to be more 'user friendly' - but user friendly is the fuck not what XCom games are. It also is now 3D, yet doesn't really do anything with that. Like, at all. It plays the same.

unlabelledView post →Warhounds is a turn-based Xcom-style tactical game that is gatekept from being good by the fact it was made by millenials. Why are games afraid to have a serious tone?
unlabelledView post →My god, Xcom mentioned. That's how you sell a game to me. Yeah, I mean can't go wrong really. Cheers for the reply bud! 💜
