just beat the game :whew:

great game, and pretty damn challenging. I think I might like it more than Enemy Unknown

I'll probably play through again with a bunch of mods

I play on Ironman vet and rarely is the time limit a factor in successfully completing a mission. I can generally blue move + overwatch across a map (maybe with an occasional gold move), complete the objective and EVAC.

This is my first xcom game and i made the mistake of putting this shyt on the hardest difficultly like i do all my other games. Maaaaan i played that one level where you had to break into the blacksite and steal some shyt over and over again for like 5 hours straight. Great game

XCOM 2 Is Coming To Consoles This September

XCOMSnake-610.jpg


After months of putting PC commanders through the wringer, XCOM 2 is finally coming to console. Given that we weren’t sure it was coming at all, we’re calling this one better late than never.

When Firaxis suggested it was only planning on bringing XCOM 2 to PC, it was technically true. The port is being handled by The Workshop, which developed Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage for Bordlerands 2, Rekoil: Liberator, and handled the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One work for The Evil Within.

You won’t need to wait too long to take the fight to the aliens and Advent forces on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. XCOM 2 will be out on console on September 6


Those that pre-order will receive the Resistance Warrior Pack, which includes customization items and a new recruit that appears in the barracks. Those that pre-order the digital deluxe edition will also get the XCOM 2 Reinforcement Pack, which is effectively a bundle of all of the paid DLC.

The standard version is priced at $59.99. No price has been revealed for the digital deluxe edition, but based on PC pricing, we anticipate a $75 price tag. The Reinforcement Pack would then be priced at $20 as a standalone purchase. We’ll confirm once information is available.

For more, check out our review of the PC release.



Our Take
It’s great that this is coming to consoles, though we’re unclear if 2K has any plans on bringing over a selection of mods. Those were touted as a prime purpose of focusing on PC, and with Bethesda showing it can be done, it would be great if that functionality came to Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
