  • Anybody liked X-COM? P'dox publishes X-COM style game....

    This is probably not classic Paradox stuff, but I think it's great news:

    OK, so will it be released in the states at all? Anyone know if it's clost to being as good as X-Com? It certainly looks very similar.

      Yes, and it is one of the most promising X-com clones out there.

      The only bad thing I've heard about it is the graphics, and they do not look that bad to me.
      We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

            There will also be an X-com-ish scenario in the next Civ 4 x-pack

                Can't you USians download it via gamersgate? Not sure if they (P'dox) offer that, but it may be worth a try....unless you want a hard copy at all costs (and yeah that gamersgate installer is kinda annoying, but better than not getting a game at all IMO)

                    I am downloading it now (legally).

                    Just started and it says it'll be about 5 hours. I am going to take a nap for the next 5 and then probably play it all night. I have work tomorrow morning so I have to get in sleep sometime.

                      After being steady for a while, the download slowed down by almost half. It'll be another 4 or 5 hours probably.

                      On the Paradox forum, no one has really posted about the game yet. Considering there were a large number of people after this game, I am assuming that is because they are busy playing it. Probably a good sign about the gameplay.

                            Any serious bugs? I'm a bit cautious after the HOI2 Armageddon desaster (though this UFO game is from another team)....

                            But if it's fun to play as you say I'll get it soon as well.

                              No bugs yet.

                              It's fun...just difficult right now. I am about to start a new game. It's just apparently very difficult in the beginning because you can't recruit troops.
