Didn't enemy unknown have pretty much all the same technical problems at launch? Not to excuse it, just seems people are making a lot bigger fuss about it this time around.
I think the reason that people are making a fuss about it is because XCOM 2 is 100% a PC exclusive, so people were expecting significant optimization.
I've put >30 hours into this game, and I adore it. Yes, there are a couple technical hiccups here and there; but I've yet to run in to any that have broken the game for me. So far my GOTY (ahead of The Witness, which I also loved)
With Nitroplus being one of the producers on a lot of anime, I'm sad that there aren't Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica characters in the roster.
My exact thought. When he was hovering over characters and I saw "Homura" I was psyched for a second, but then was quickly saddened when it wasn't Madoka's Homura.
