@zetdeef: Dan's primary strategy in MK to beat jason was just bullshit combo after bullshit combo. I would say Vinny is pretty traditional as a player. Dan doesn't use an arcade stick in any fighting game.

For those interested, what they actually fit on their last stage in part two was a fuselage,for the planes you build in this game. One of the three things you need to burn in any reaction is oxygen, there's not any oxygen in space,but there's loads on Kerbin.

My experience with this game has been top notch! Lots of improvements on the gameplay side of things, a bump up in graphics too. I may have just gotten used to the bugs and glitches that plagued the last game, but I found my experience to feature decent performance and that regular action cam jenk that I have come to love in these games. The fail state in this game I like much better than the last, I really like its doomsday clock look, you really feel the apocalyptic looming over you as you try and stave off the inevitable destruction of the world.

I really like the "new and improved" classes in the game, I think each one shook things up in terms of their role, although I'm really gonna miss snapshot. I had one tiny but critical nitpick with the UI though, it may have just been me but I really got used to the old movement tile look and for some reason on more than one occasion I ended up dashing to places I thought I was only using one movement point on, these missteps were followed up by a string of curses, as I frantically looked around the stage for a way to protect my exposed team member from an oh so eager alien assailant. However the core game (or at least what I enjoy most about it) still seems to be intact. In Xcom you are constantly forced to make the best out of bad situations sometimes it's picking the lesser of two evils, sacrificing one of your men or prioritizing your continued survival over much-needed supplies. There also the classic short term critical decision of "should I take this shot?" or the frequent "please please please, dear GOD please make this 35% shot!"

This XCOM is a meat grinder in terms of difficulty. Instead of going into missions feeling ready and prepared like I did during the previous XCOM, I was surviving the missions rather than completing them, about 3 quarters into my time with the game the thought process that went through my mind at the beginning of each mission as I stretched my inadequate array of equipment across soldiers was "I'm really not sure If I can walk away from this one" as my features hardened with grim detirminiation and my eyes became steely in preparation for my next bout.

I really do feel like Dan's review of this game is a little harsh, the technical issues I experienced with this game pale in comparison to the flood of online issues and frame dropping that Just Cause 3 hit me with, a game Dan gave four stars. I think XCOM two is a solid 4 stars and I would urge anyone who enjoyed the last game to buy this one.

was running it on an imac from a couple years ago, and was getting 30-50fps,but nothing unplayable, especially for a turn based game. If people are having issues with the PC version and they have a powerful desktop mac, give it a shot!

Also if anyone is interested I finished the previous XCOM on my third try on normal iron man, I would also like to mention that the sole survivor of the tutorial in that run was named (by the game) Jesus and he was also the soldier you sacrifice to save the world
