Seeing my Ex-COM: how XCOM 2 broke my heart by being a PC exclusive

Joe from GamersFTW writes "XCOM 2, you look great. You’ve changed a lot since XCOM: Enemy Unknown in 2012, and even more since XCOM: Enemy Unknown in 1994. You’re looking prettier and acting smarter than ever; your additional features are beyond what anyone expected from you. Combining battlefield tactics with base management, you’re proving to be one of the best mixtures of management simulation and tactical strategy for some time, and some people are already saying that you’re one of the greatest strategy games ever created."

We can relax - might have to wait but a console port will be inevitable.

The first one was as well for a year or 2, Probably be the same here but don't worry at least you know your going to get a great game as I personally like it more than the first.

Jivesh3005d ago

This'll come to consoles eventually

TrailerParkBoys3005d ago

Not the the point. Point is the first Xcom was such a huge success thanks to being released on consoles. Just rude to not have a simultaneous release

BS..Its sell way better on PC than Console.

Mariusmssj3005d ago

I don't think you got that quite right. It was a huge success one the PC and did quite poorly on the consoles.

Ashistheking3005d ago

The 5 best games on PlayStation Plus Premium that make subscribing worth it

The PS5 is an incredible console, and if you're lucky enough to have one, or have just received one for Christmas then you'll already know there is a host of great games out there.

What you may not be aware of is that if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium, you'll actually get access to a huge catalogue of titles to play at any time. Many of which you can stream without having to do any downloads. If you have a PlayStation Portal you could even play these titles from your bed.

Damn the only one I’ve played so far is Miles Morales, although I do own Control and Rift Apart.

ChasterMies116d ago

Odd list. Where is Horizon Forbidden West? Ghost of Tsushima? Demon’s Souls? Returnal? And fun indie games like Superliminal? Where’s “A Plage Tale Requiem” and “Evil West”, the current PS+ Essential offerings?

Exvalos104d ago

Evil west is underrated I'm having a really good time playing it.

juniorpop116d ago

Like seriously? Those are games Extra Tier can get - so not worth upgrading to Premium

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - A Welcome Rebirth

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

ModsDoBetter186d ago

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

S2Killinit186d ago

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930186d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183186d ago

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

JL2930185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.
