The bottom line is this - Blizzard has made such a good game that hundreds of thousands of people are very comfortable spending money on things to enjoy themselves within thier world. If you think $25 is a big deal for some fun then you probably don't have much fun... More importantly, why do you feel the need to insult all the people who bought this? Whats your big problem with how people enjoy themselves? If you would never buy this - THATS GREAT!

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="12" id="2595436"]Actually, just today, I was thinking that.. Oh man, how awesome would a fantasy-based X-Com game be? I actually got a little bit psyched.

[quote who="Crassmaster" reply="5" id="2595136"]This is one of those games, unfortunately, where a remake is inevitably going to piss people off. If they change too much, people will complain that you've ruined it. If they don't change enough, people will complain at being charged to buy what is essentially just the same game with prettier graphics. It's a no win situation.[/quote] I don't know, every similar game usual

[quote who="Raven X" reply="23" id="2594301"]Well, if 2K Games actually takes the word of people on the internet seriously there "might be a slim ray of hope" Apparently EVERYONE hates this press release about the new X-Com and EVERYONE is complaining. Maybe, just maybe, 2K will pull their heads out of their asses long enough to see what it is people want in a new X-Com game and Make That. I would urge everyone who considers them-selves a True X-Com Fan to go to the 2K Forums and leave a well

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="6" id="2593256"] Quoting Raven X, reply 5 That and do everything we can to talk Stardock into doing a X-Com clone re-make next after Elemental. Next is an RPG (unless they have a second group ready for game development). I'll frown upon those who oppose the development of the RPG as the next game after Elemental.[/quote] X-Com IS an RPG silly! You totally level up your soldiers and get them phat lewt. And wear

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="34" id="2593169"]pretty pictures of furries and some paperclip[/quote] When using war advice simulations, always upgrade to the latest version because military doctrine changes fast. Don't make Hitlers mistake of using a BETA version when the rest of the world was on version 4.6.1 with the trial version of the race compatability pack installed.

[quote who="VonVentrue" reply="3" id="2593180"]Phenomenal news, someone at 2K familiarized himself with the original X-Com and - what a surprise - understood nothing, completely did not "get it". "Fallout 3" scenario all over again. I can't help but *love* this industry.[/quote] Fallout 3 does actaully feel somewhat like Fallout 1 and 2. A little less flat with a different slant of humour but a very similar feel to the world. <p

[quote]magic of the internet.[/quote] All made possibe by talented women. Oh you meant the other magic of the internet? Yes digital delivery is giving access to things that were previously unaccessable. This gives people the chance to resample what has already been sampled before. The price you pay for such is more of a conveience factor than anything. Personally I think of games like books with the visual and audio asects of films with a direct control

I don't see how anything could ruin X-Com, I was playing it the other day and its still great. Have you played X-Com Enforcer? I don't think anyone could recrate what the first one did but better. Nobody seems to have the ability to think past MOAR MONAY!

And they can be removed but its a painful process and not something anyone but the most hardcore player would want to do. Anyway, about the advisers. I have only 1 thing to say: Afterlife. If you havn't played it, youtube the advisers. NEED MOAR! That is how all advisers should be. Even in real life.

[quote]Those people are sheeple.[/quote] I think you will find those are the majority of the human race, since most people desire to fit in scocialy. They probably enjoy talking with thier friends more than the game anyway - the fools. Its a bit like the welsh, they like to have thier way with the Sheeples. Nothing wrong with that.
