    My place isn't built withstand jack SHIT. It's about 80 years old and Pennsylvania doesn't get earthquakes or hurricanes or tornados or any shit like that. We get mild floods sometimes, and that's it. My house doesn't even have shutters, just storm windows.

    Also no generator. This is kinda a short notice hurricane, very inconsiderate.

    Then it's probably a good idea to consider evacuacion, señor. Good luck weathering it out!

    They never said it would be XCOM (for one thing they even tried to rename it X-COM), but a shooter based in a loose interpretation of the XCOM universe.

    I wouldn't mind this CoD/Mass Effect hybrid in the XCOM universe one iota. A true XCOM atmospheric FPS would be amazing. The first two games had a terrific terrifying atmosphere (both were scarier than Resident Evil or Dead Space could ever hope to be). This isn't a loose interpretation of the XCOM universe. This is 2K Marin not being able to let go of Rapture.

    As long as your place was built to withstand hurricanes and you put up shutters, you'll be good. Went through three of those things down in South Florida awhile back. Just hope you have a generator, because if your home is structurally sound, the only part that sucks is being without power for a few days/weeks.

    That looks really cool! It is not Xcom in any way shape or form though.

    yeap, apple sucks but jobs is a respectable in my book.

    but.. but.. Apple IS Steve Jobs. Doesn't compute

    He's just the public face of Apple. While they will likely have to find a new way to market the company to the masses outside of the Cult of Jobs, all of the hardworking designers, engineers, and programmers who actually make Apple what it is will (most likely) still be there. Plus he'll still be chairman of the board and overseeing all major decisions and overall direction, just less of the day-to-day high level management stuff.

    No, you silly Euros just do it wrong. It's month-day-year, not day-month-year.

    On a scale of importance, day-month-year-century-milenium makes a lot more sense.

    On a scale of importance, that's what she said-your face-your mom makes a lot more sense.

    BTW, they have an adjustable FoV slider in the video options menu. I can't help but wonder if the endless threads about it on here had something to do with that.

    This game is supposed to be a prequel to the original, so there will probably be references to places/characters/events that oldschool fans will get, but won't detract from the DX newbies like us.

    I got to play a bit last night, and overall, I'm finding the vision of this game to be really impressive. You have so many play style options - classic old school 3D shooter without ironsight aiming (albeit without the super speed in those games), cover-based Gears of War style shooting, Splinter Cell Conviction-style cover-based stealth, or old school Thief-style stealth, Metal Gear Solid AI behavior and body-hiding, the list goes on.

    I'm starting to think that starting with the hardest difficulty was a mistake. Usually means that I get killed if I'm spotted when trying to move around - usually winding up dead from incoming fire before I can pop off a single shot. Thankfully, you can change the difficulty on the fly.

    The cover system also feels a bit weird with the holding the jump button to turn corners, even concave ones (which should just be automatically navigated imo). It's also a bit odd (since I'm used to Gears and Mass Effect) to hold the movement keys/thumbstick to peak out of cover instead of holding the aim button, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

    Lastly, THANK YOU to whomever allowed the option to toggle going in and out of cover instead of forcing the awful Killzone 2 style of holding down a button to stay in cover. The array of personalization options really shows just how in depth these guys went to letting you play the game the way you want, down to how you move/interact with the environment at the hardware input level.

    I also look forward to seeing just how consequential your actions are.

    Piddling around inside the Sarif Industries building before heading to the plant got all the hostages killed, which completely caught me off guard.

    They look fine to me. Also, is the setting a Steampunk Nazi Germany? If so, how the fuck hasn't this been a setting for a game before?????

    And fighting against Cerberus after being allied with them throughout ME2.

    Also, I hope those animations aren't final. They looked way better in the first two games.

    Origin seems to be pretty decent after all having used it for awhile now.

    Also, this is starting to look like the first FPS since Left 4 Dead with multiplayer that's appealing.
